This isn't correct. For starters, orks with a 'k' are 40k, while in Fantasy it's orcs with a 'c'. The orcs, the Fantasy ones, were not created by the Old Ones. The Old Ones created the lizardmen, then the elves, followed by the dwarves, humans, halflings, and finally the ogres, but not the orcs. The orcs, like dragons, were natives of Mallus before the Old Ones ever stepped foot on the planet. In fact, they were one of the species the Old Ones slated for extermination, but never managed to fully carry out on account of their being orcs.
It relies entirely on the magic going right, with potential shamans in the area and us not messing up.
It might be a fallback step, of concentrated waves of reinforcements are swarming to the Citadel after all.
Yeah, wall-to-wall slum+prevailing winds+no organized action is the kind of thing that produced the Great Fire of London. Adding incendiary bombardment to that...
Grobi-town might go all the way there, but we can still start fires that cut off the bulk of the goblins from the Citadel.
Okay, guys, I have edited in this ONE point, but to be honest I probably shouldn't have. @BoneyM made clear a long time ago that this quest operates on key principles of "Mathilde is not an idiot and will optimize plans on her own" and "If you micromanage votes with a dozen subvotes that are all basically saying 'don't fuck this up, here's how', you annoy the GM, so don't." Almost everything important about the plan is right there in the plan name.
Thank you very much! And sorry for bugging you.
Well there's a whole bunch of miners in the Expedition, and miners have blasting charges they throw as grenades as standard in Warhammer Total War, so we could probably use that.
I know that Ritual Casting says it increases the chance of miscasting, but we already are at Magic 7, and Burning Shadows needs just 5 Magic to be cast 'reliably', as in we don't even roll to see if we screw up. Unless Ritualizing it pushes the effective difficulty above 7, I don't think it's something we're gonna screw up on its own.
Good point
Not really incindiaries, though?
Being shot at or assaulted by orcs (or counterspelled by shamans or stomped by fists of Mork or whatever) might help us screw up, though. We're not especially an experienced Ritual caster, not that likely it'd be an uncontested casting?
This is meant to be the day of the assault. Today, this afternoon.
They'll figure something is happening when the attack comes.
