If Mathilde can't detect a panicking lustful and/or highly annoyed ice witch with her windsight, we either have enormous and urgent concerns about Darth Sidious casting a shadow over the force, or we desperately need to hit her up for magical stealth lessons.
Wouldn't that be pretty anachronistic, though? Tsesarevitch is a relatively modern world, and seems out of place in Kislev.
Had, anyway.
Point, but in this particular case (tsarevitch) they are entirely correct. "Tsesarevitsch" carries in itself evidence of westernisation. You can't get one without a Peter the Great figure who changes his title from Tsar to Imperator.
Maybe another nat 1 in a d100 that has been diverted to an inconsequential roll?
at lest total war is a little internally consistent.
It's quite a bit more complex than that. These are terms from different historical periods. In pre-petrine times, there was only "tsarevitch", and it did indeed mean "son of tsar". Then there came Peter and changed his title to "Imperator", which necessitated new titles for his family, and so his daughters got a new title "tsesarevna", which is the female form if tsesarevitch (he had no living legitimate sons at that point). And "tsarevitch" officially stopped being a thing (It still was used informally, though.) Which members of imperial family got the right to be titled "tsesarevitch" flip-flopped a bit until in 1797 Pavel the First decreed that it was to be the title of the heir to the throne, and that decree persisted until the end of the empire. Even if Pavel broke it just two years later by awarding the title to his second son as well as the first.
And I hope we vote unified for saving the man (or that there isn't a vote at all) because as much as we know that Boris will be a better tsar, Mathilde can only guess and should not make decisions for other countries. Imagine the shitstorm if it came out that we could have healed him easily.
Happens when the whole franchise gets revamped every 5 years and the writers go from cheap jokes, to actually dedication to making money mindset and switching between all three while also changing writers every so often. And creative leads. And visions for how the product should work. And when your joke side franchise suddenly makes you more money then your starting one. Also video games.
So this would have been a main source of tension if we chose to do the waystone project at kislev.
I'm not advocating for deliberately setting up the Tzar's death, but I think it should be noted that healing the Tzar is literally making a decision for another country. We explicitly came here out of our own volition. There is literally no treaty or obligation or oath that we are following here. We haven't been employed by Kislev officially. Theoretically, they have no right to give us any orders, even Boris was surprised at Mathilde coming here. Her decisions are her own, and while others might resent her for not doing something, how the hell would any of them know of her exact capabilities? She's literally never used her Seed on anyone else throughout the story, just herself.
I didn't mean in battle healing while risking our life. No one will judge us for putting our life first but if the choice arises of healing him or letting him die and there's no interference? At that point voting against using the seed would make me think very badly about the thread...
The seed has a very limited time to revive the dead. It only works on the recently dead, which is why we had a time limit on finding Gotrek's body before we gave up. We couldn't revive him at that point, even if we found his body. If the Tzar dies in a peaceful moment where we won't have to risk out lives, great, but the assumption I'm working on is that doesn't necessarily have a high chance of happening. By the time the battle ends he wouldn't be revivable.
