Man, could you just imagine having every single book on the ancestor gods in existence. Not that useful (unless you are an ice dragon I guess?) but kinda fun.

Grungni's worshipped in Wissenland so I think we would've gotten some Imperial books on him.
Now I have an image of Mathilde asking her contacts to get her as many books as they can and them coming back with "HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD WORD ABOUT THE ANCESTORS?" Maybe they were worried for Mathilde's dwarven soul.

Though given the sheer breadth of their skills/domains it could include a whole lot of general information. Even discounting things that would be guild secrets you would get the early histories and foundational information for just about every major dwarven institution.
Actually, speaking of Cython, is the library dragon accessable?
Yes. The thing about Dwarven architects is that if you tell them you want impractically large doors, they get offended at the implication that you weren't already going to get impractically large doors.

Hmm. Maybe there's the prospect of 'double tap' as an extension maneuver once the style is complete.So we know the real reason Mathilde is pursuing unblockable teleport-cannonball-swording.
The third Rune on our sword is the Superior Skill nullify-magical-buffs.
I'm no swordsman, but I am picturing a combination of guard bypass and momentum dumping might allow effectively 'two strikes in one swing', for use on 'hardened' targets...?
Bypass their parry, hit say the arm, dispel their buffs, if it doesn't cut through* because of those buffs, teleport sword again, pick up empty-handed momentum and return sword to connect a second strike into say the torso. Cannonball Rune means as I understand it we don't need big swing momentum to communicate the intent to cut.
* the conditional is quite possibly too much to process mid swing, so the whole hypothetical double tap may have to be initiated with that intent.

@Boney the bonus to anatomy and greenskins wasn't updated (both should now be +12)

EDIT: Boney has listed the changes from the backfill below, making this post mostly worthless. However, there are some things Boney didn't tell you! Did you know that "The Kingdom of Kislev" is now listed as "The Tzardom of Kislev"? Bet you didn't! Aren't you glad I made this post?

Before you return to Laurelorn, you commission the making of a Dwarven axe to human dimensions, and arrange for it to be delivered upon completion to Baba Brzeginias of the village of Gerdouen. Her aid was a great help in dealing with the Gryphon Wood issue and bringing Kislev in to the Waystone Project, and though she likely did it in order to rid her forest of a dangerous interloper, that is no reason for ingratitude, especially if there is a possibility of needing to call on the knowledge and capabilities of the Hedgewise again in the future.
While your Gyrocarriage is refuelling at Barak Varr, you drop in on your bookseller contacts there and, on top of giving them a bag of Kislevite gold and telling them to turn it into Bretonnian books, you give them a list of the topics you have a less than exhaustive coverage of in your library and the titles you currently have in them and tell them that Karak Eight Peaks will pick up the bill for every new addition to that section, and will require only a modest discount for volume. From the thoughtful look in their eyes you're fairly sure they realize that this will represent quite an opportunity to clear out accumulated unsold inventory at almost full price, and you've no doubt that there'll be junior members of their Clan delving through every inch of their warehouses before long for materials they can offload into your growing library. While this may not be the most directed means of filling out your library, the sheer volume it should result in will be something to behold.
Turning your mind to the future as you board the Gyrocarriage once more, you're very aware that it has been two years since you began pursuing the Waystone Project, and though you're quite proud of having managed to bring in quite a diverse group of contributors, on paper you have nothing to show for it. And that begins to matter now that you have brought in four human contributors who do not have centuries of lifespan to wait, and who have responsibilities and ambitions of their own tugging at them. It will be very difficult to justify any further delays to the beginning of the Waystone Project, as any further recruitment you might make could very easily be countered by others withdrawing after years of no visible progress being made.
You have five action points (AP) you can apply without engaging in overwork. For every two AP spent across all members of WEB-MAT, including recruiting new members, you can spend one 'free' additional AP with any member of WEB-MAT. WEB-MAT actions are performed by Mathilde alongside that person when possible, such as studying something alongside that person, cowriting a paper together, one teaching the other, both of them learning something new, et cetera.
Current overwork status: [ ] [ ] [ ]
Each box will be filled by one action of overwork, and will take the two turns after that to fade as you recover. The first box incurs no penalty. The second will give a -10 penalty to all actions during the first turn of recovery. The third will give a -20 penalty to all actions on both turns of recovery.
Overwork incurs no penalties on the turns taken, only on the turns recovering from it. You can take as many actions of overwork as you have unfilled boxes.
When you use overwork it fills the left-most empty box, so [-][ ][ ] becomes [-][+][ ], not [+][-][ ]. All boxes recover in parallel and independent from one another, but second and third apply maluses on your actions during that cooldown period.

Kron-Azril-Ungol
Status: Built, unstaffed, not yet open to the general public.
The first AP spent in this category is free. Any additional choices cost 1 AP.
[ ] Decide who your library staff will consist of, and go about recruiting them. (NEW)
[ ] Go about recruiting an army of scribes so you can start copying entire libraries of material. (NEW)

[ ] Seek the publishing contacts to start acquiring large amounts of books from a nearby realm (specify which: Bretonnia, Kislev, Tilea/Estalia, Araby)
Gives wide and easy access within a language, but is subject to local restrictions and is a less efficient use of the Library's acquisition budget than other methods.
[ ] Seek an exchange arrangement with another Library or a Karak's archives to be able to make copies of their corpus (specify which, eg: Great Library of Marienburg, Great Library of Altdorf, Ancient Library of Carroburg, Karaz-a-Karak Archives, Karak Vlag Archives)

Difficulty will vary heavily depending on the Cult in question, but can allow access to rare tomes and esoteric subjects.
[ ] Set up a no-questions-asked bounty system for books within the Cult of Ranald
Results will be unreliable and depending on what is sought may result in blowback, but this may allow you to acquire books that would otherwise be entirely inaccessible.
Ranald's Coin - specify which face it will be set to
[ ] The Gambler: specify an action this will apply to.
A +20 bonus to up to two dice rolls resulting from a single chosen action.
[ ] The Night Prowler
As long as you are outside of private property and within a town or city, nobody will question your presence and nobody will be able to find you if you do not wish them to.
[ ] The Deceiver: specify how this will be used.
Lies you have developed beforehand will be delivered perfectly. The listener may believe you to be mistaken, but they will never believe that you are lying. Cannot be used to tell truths.
[ ] The Protector
When you act in a way that defends an individual or group from a danger that you did not cause, they will become aware of what you have done and will believe you acted selflessly in doing so. Rule of thumb: if you have to explain why this might apply, it probably doesn't.
[ ] The Father
Ranald's daughters, and Their followers, will recognize you as being worthy of trust and faith.
Ranald's Coin (note from Ranald: don't)

With EIC/KAU/Serenity actions left off the board for now, since I don't have very strong opinions and I'd like to see discussion on that. EDIT: It was pointed out to me that throwing out ideas was probably better for generating discussion than leaving it blank.
The core of this plan skeleton is the fact that, per Boney, "Lay the foundations" keeps our wizards busy without starting the timer of "they get frustrated if we leave them with nothing to do," and so we can focus on the things that Mathilde needs personal AP to do or which otherwise don't make use of our existing wizards -- we'll have lots of opportunities in the future for WEBMAT AP, but this is the best time to do stuff with our personal AP before the Waystone project eats it all. So we get our gyrocarriage operational so we can commute long distances on our own schedule and bring friends with us, lay the foundations, recruit Tindomiel (being the magic-using Major House who seems most compatible with our goals), progress Branarhune, progress AV, and either pick up Hedgewise or study that Ghyran nut with Panoramia. My personal preference is the version with the Father (as I've said many times, I don't think the Gambler is a must-have on Lay the Foundations), but I would not shed too many tears if we held off on grabbing the Hedgewise for now.
EDIT: EICwise, check to see if the Eonir are interested in trade at all. Librarywise, bookmining because folks seemed super into it and my stance has changed over the last few days. Serenitywise, start that mushroom book so that the Journeymen of six colleges will have a new tool in their pockets to help them (and maybe some people with more time and interest in the problem can crack Shyish and Chamon).
EDIT2: Boney clarified that the only thing stopping us from opening the library to public use is a staff, so swapping KAU action to that.
Again, I cannot emphasize enough how much of an opportunity this turn is to do personal AP stuff before we return to the WEBMAT juggle.

For notes sake; I'm looking for a plan that puts focus on the Waystone Project, but also includes Drakenhof and Shadow Sword Dancing or whatever we're calling it.
Not making my own plan, because maths sucks and I hate it.

I'd prefer to bring in the Hedgewise rather than study the Ghyran Nut since we're doing Lay the Foundations this turn, plus I want to see more of the Hedgewise.
