[X] Tell Belegar and Kragg.
Alot of the publically offered justifications against telling Belegar and Kragg seem to be coming from the direction of meta-knowledge that Mathilde does not possess (for example, the Chaos Dwarves are utterly taboo), so the basis for much of the no vote is not convincing me. Also, alot of the Grey Magister does not do X arguments kind of make Mathilde out to be a cookie-cutter Grey Magister. Mathilde is her own unique individual in her own right, and being a Grey Magister is but one part (if crucial part) of Mathilde's identity.
On the other hand, I am convinced by the claim that Kragg may publicly believe our story, but he still knows that there is more to the story than we are letting out in the council - we were skimping on the details of the ritual very deliberately in council after all. Furthermore, considering how Mathilde behaves among political masters that she respects, I think it's very in character for her to disclose the events of Karag Nar to Belegar and Kragg, especially since she can't rule out that this is the last "ritual" the Reconquestia of Eight Peaks is going to run into. And I think Belegar has earned Mathilde's respect. Furthermore, Mathilde in-character shapes her reading of military situations based on the concept of the Fog of War. I imagine that in her mind, minimizing the Fog of War for her commanders is the right move to make.

The Ulricans are no friends to the Sigmarites. Best to cultivate relationships with them considering Mathilde's characterizations, and I do want to pursue the Middenhiem plot hook further.
[X] Cook with Panoramia and Titus
[X] 'Make sure the ale hasn't gone bad' with Skaroki
What is discussed among Wizards stay between Wizards. But Panoramia is also a fellow human female that is near Mathilde's age, and one that I think Mathilde sees as an emergent friend.
I'm also putting in the Skaroki vote as a preference vote since I can see the appeal of striking up a friendship with Skaroki.

Not in favor of Drinking, don't want a hangover for tomorrow.
Gambling + Ranaldan Religious Services synergies are too tempting to be ignored. And it's only appropriate to hold a thanksgiving for our god after he backed us up in Karag Nar, not that we would admit it public anyway. No, it's because we want to give thanks to Ranald the Protector for surviving so far on behalf of all Ranaldian worshiping mercenaries within the expedition. The deception we are playing here is that we are a devotee of Ranald the Protector - when we are actually a devotee of Ranald the Four Fold god.

Sure, why not?
