I now imagine that the fief is Mathilde's control cactus. If it also gets crazy things happening to it then Mathilda must conclude that it's her and not the world that attracts insanity.I too am happy to have confirmed that our Cactus is still, a Cactus.
But now it looks to have a tiny little flower growing on it

I know this pain well, sheep are such a pain in the ass to keep alive you would think they want to die.
If you told me there is a breed that keels over just from staring at them to hard, I'll believe it.

This is an extremely good point.
Though with slings and familiarity with land and terrain it could take a significant amount to raid them successfully, enough gold available can make the "investment" disturbingly plausible.
I agree that it would be wise for them to have much less than 1000 gold sitting and waiting there.

I saw leave about 300 gold, take the rest. That's twice the uppermost cost of the journeyman + super sheep project, or about two and a half years of taxation. Plenty for a slushfund in nowheresville.

Right, do we need to do that through this field? I thought we get an option when we select the action. Could you clarify @Boney?

That's a lot of gold. Whatever could the fief spend it on?
[X] [FIEF] Approve plus Jade Wizard. Instruct Rolf to send word through the EIC after they have a comfortable margin over 1,000 gc, for mysterious purposes. (To fund a dwarven-built fortress.)
[X] [CASH] Leave it
This isn't a joke vote, mind. We don't really spend gc on much at all besides books, and while 418 gc can get us a decent number of books, we've got, what, 2,500 ish gc in the bank right now, plus our EIC income? (Not counting the gold we owe Borek Forkbeard.) That 418 gc doesn't really mean much to Mathilde. For the fief, meanwhile, we can reward them for their years of work with a dwarf-built fortress that they funded themselves. How cool is that?
E: Also, like, even though the fief is relatively safe, it's still Mathilde's responsibility if any monsters or armies just so happens to wander in the wrong direction and attack the fief. (Warhammer is a death world, after all.) A fortress may seem like overkill, but it's also just us Properly Fortifying the area, as any responsible dwarf would do. Short of us building a teleport tower to personally pop over in case of an emergency, it's the most sensible way to garuntee the safety of the locals for a long time into the future. It's also a great way to gain the local's loyalty, and a place to build a backup-backup base should we ever need one.

Boney had to condense all of the thread's arguments and desires into a singular line to represent why she would pick up Eike, which is understandably difficult. I doubt Boney would have implemented some of the reasoning into Mathilde's narrative. Could this have been more sentimental? Perhaps, but Mathilde is usually pretty guarded emotionally so even if she's attached to the concept of taking care of Eike like a mother bear I doubt she'd express it. One of my favorite expressions for why she would want to take on Eike is because Mathilde told Eike that she could be whatever she wanted and do whatever she wanted, and the best way to ensure that is to make sure that she's the one who encourages her to do this.
The classic Grey reaction of "yes I expected that jots down a few notes". I wonder if the Ulgu-only rooms are a requirement for a training apprentice or just a "nice to have". Perhaps starting apprentices are generally locked to Altdorf for a lack of mono-wind environments, which would be a bummer. Thankfully for Eike she gets to follow her master into both Lothlorien and Khazad Dum. What a lucky gal.
Very diplomatic phrasing going on here. He leaves the option open for the lesson on teaching apprentices without placing any pressure or expectation on Mathilde, putting the onus on her to decide if she takes it or not. It's a very elegant way both in and out of universe to preserve player agency and Mathilde's agency.
Also, a master who chooses not to attend their Apprentice's graduation doesn't sound great. Maybe they're busy and that's understandable, but it would be a serious bummer. Well, not every student-teacher relationship is the same I guess.
That sounds frustrating. Maybe it was part of the whole "teaching Mathilde to think like a Grey" thing, forcing her mind to question the situation and leaving it in perpetual ambiguity, but it feels kind of mean to just say that without further elaboration after she explicitly asks if there's some sort of celebration. Although I suppose Mathilde said "Ritual or Ceremony", which has a different implication that party or celebration. It's less about making the person feel good and more about protocol and tradition.
I understand that Mathilde will have to be somewhat like this when she's teaching Eike, but I hope she's a bit less obtuse than Regimand. You can cause confusion without disappointing your student.
Is he talking about sweat lodges and hallucinatory trips? That's the first thing to come to mind when he's talking about the Ambers. I suppose he's talking about all sorts of celebrations involving different cults and beliefs. I think it's funny that he's going "we have a binder full of options that you can peruse in case you want to randomise a powerpoint presentation last minute".
In terms of Breughel, I finally found out what he means. The Breughels are a real life family of dutch and flemish painters that were likely implemented in Warhammer. I found them in the form of the Vargr Breughel Memorial theatre that Detlef Sierck, one of the most famous playwrights of the entire Old World, runs. This establishment is patronised by Emperor Luitpold. You can find this in this page of the wiki.
The Resurrection Men rang a bell, so I went looking and I found this in 2E Career Compendium page 64:
"If there are to be any advances in anatomy and modern medicine, physicians need corpses to study. But the process of acquiring cadavers is not a pleasant one for these highly educated gentlemen of science. So to whom do they turn? The Resurrection Men are one part grave robbers and one part criminal syndicate.
There is almost no way in the Empire today to legally acquire a corpse for medical study; a few condemned prisoners are turned over, but the demand for these is high and inevitably these corpses end up in the hands of only the well-connected. Anyone else must confine their researches purely to the theoretical or turn to the Resurrection Men.
Embalmers play a key role in this organisation, for it is they who know what corpses can be stolen with little fuss. They also prepare the corpses, ensuring that putrefaction does not spoil its value. Rarely are they the actual thieves – they leave that grisly task to the grave robbers. There is no doubt that there is real money to be made, as a properly prepared corpse sold to a rich physician is worth ten gold crowns at least. Of course, the Resurrection Men are despised as ghouls and vandals, but as long as there is money in dead flesh, you can be assured that this trade will continue."
Boney did an excellent job succintly describing and implementing them and including the Amethysts within this dynamic. This might also be one reason for why the Embalmers Guild rep in Roswita's lecture was being eyed up by the Morrites like they were going to kill him:
Being an Embalmer is pretty rough in this world of Morrites. These corpses aren't going to rob themselves.
I don't know why, but my first thought upon reading this is that Mathilde doesn't often describe people as "pretty" or "handsome". I'm probably forgetting a few instances though. Still, I like this woman. She's very fun and colorful and I'd like to interact with her more, although that might not be too likely. Her name is certainly... something. I'm willing to bet I mess up her name several times in the future. Yes, me spelling her name Margarita earlier was intentional. Why does her name have a useless e at the end there.
For ease of use I'll just call her Marge and imagine her speaking in her namesake's voice.
I don't think we've ever been in the Amethyst College in DL right? Well, Boney didn't really spend the time to describe the atmosphere here, but I might later on. Mathilde mentions a key part of the building here, but if you don't know what you're looking for, you might miss it. Essentially, the Amethyst College does space shenanigans like many other Colleges do, and Mathilde here is trying to spot it.
There are two locations. The abandoned "Shell Building" and the actual Amethyst College. Both are in the same place, except they're distinctly different, and the Order decides which building you enter when you step through the door:
"The College looks as though it has been abandoned for years. The whole place is mantled in an eerie silence, and even those explorers brave enough to shout have found that their voices sounded muffled, and seemed to be swallowed up by the building. Small shrines to Morr, in his role as God of death, stand against many walls in most rooms, and this unnerves visitors more than anything else. The longer people stay within the College the greater their feeling of dread becomes, until finally they leave, usually at a run.
-----
Only initiates to the Amethyst Order can enter the College proper without aid, and they can bring guests with them. This takes no effort, although they can choose to enter the deserted version of their College if they wish. The College proper does not, at first glance, look much different from the shell accessible to most. The halls are dark, the draperies are black and purple, and there is a thin layer of dust across the floor. However, the centre of the corridors is kept free from dust and cobwebs by the passage of many feet.
The most important difference, of course, is that the Amethyst Magisters are present. It is still rare to meet them in the corridors and the doors to most rooms are closed, often locked. Deeper in the building, both up and down winding staircases, are the private cells of the Magisters. Located deep within the building are libraries, studies, and contemplation rooms. While the true College is quiet, it does not have the eerie silence of the enchanted shell College, and the small shrines to Morr, which still exist, are obviously tended, though the Magisters display no other signs of specific devotion to the God and nor do they openly worship him.
-----
The shell College is also occasionally used for clandestine meetings. The chances of being overheard by anyone apart from the Magisters are negligible, and the Magisters rarely care about such things. If a group made a habit of meeting there, however, the Magisters would take action to drive them out; they want the College to retain its frightening aura." Page 115 Realm of Sorcery 2E
This is an incredibly interesting application of pocket dimensions, if that is what is happening, because apparently the two spaces coexist within the same location but they are different. It's not the same as some other pocket dimensions, and even Mathilde can't see what's going on although she can feel the Dreaming Wood in Laurelorn. Teclis did some weird stuff with the Colleges.
She's such a mad scientist. I love it. She's casually speaking of corpses of exotic creatures as if they're fantastical things that she would love to have cross her table. If she wants to investigate Skaven corpses, I'm sure she could go to Nuln for a firsthand look. Might be dangerous though.
Adrenal Glands I'm assuming. I don't suppose Mathilde would know it, since her anatomy knowledge is, from her own wording, specialised. If it's a vital organ, she'll recognise it because she needs to know how it'll hurt to lose it. Adrenal gland isn't vital as far as I know, although a liver shot can be devastating.
Glands lying on the Kidney? Incredibly literal meaning. I love how she calls the glands a jaunty hat. Maybe I should describe adrenaline activating as "tipping the fedora" or something stupid like that. Anyways, some searching shows me that Adrenal and Suprarenal are both used for these glands, so I guess the argument in those circles is still ongoing. Classic.
When the organ was first mentioned I thought it was the Gallbladder, which does store bile (although I don't know if the bile is black). But knowing that it's the Adrenal Gland, yeah that's bullshit. Marge throwing shade is lovely.
I'll be honest, "weird wobbly bit" followed by "downstairs neighbours" created one hell of a mental image irregardless of the actual context.
Also, what does she mean by slaughterhouses. Were they extracting the fluids from animal bodies or are there human slaughterhouses. I don't think you want human in your meat. Maybe she's using a euphemism to refer to the cadaver storage facilities.
This does bring to mind a question. How long do the glands last in the body after death? I imagine the fluid loses potency after a while right? Does it have to be hours after death or longer than that to acquire the adrenaline? This isn't a topic I ever really thought about until now.
As a side note, this got me to look up what the actual meaning of nostrum is. Boney keeps making me learn new words. I appreciate it. More engaging than school was at least.
Other stuff I'm learning. What Croup and Anhelitus are, what a glucocorticoid is, and that adrenaline is part of it.
I actually laughed at this. Mathilde tries to play Daemon's Advocate to ensure that proper scrutiny is applied, and Marge drops the bombshell that she took it herself. Not standard testing parameters for a new drug, but things are different at this point. Who better to test the effects of the drug than someone who doesn't give a shit that they're injecting a fluids into themself.
As I've expressed earlier, this might be the secret behind the power and strength of the Skaven in short burst engagements and why Assassins are so deadly. Hormonal control and modification to enhance their physical abilities beyond the norm. Some serious sci-fi shit. Maybe they're pumping so much energy that their own body is consuming itself as fuel.
I don't think most humans could stand the idea of making bodily changes to themselves that require constant maintenance and a supply of fresh organs for use so they can continue fighting. Sounds insane.
Mathilde's instinctive distaste of the Elementalists strikes again. At least on this point I agree with her. Four humors is a block for scientific advancement and the sooner it's disproven the better. There are still people where I live who believe bloodletting is a genuine medical procedure and it's baffling to me.
Nice. Four points total, which isn't a lot, but we didn't spend an AP on it so what more can we ask for. Still pretty impressive for a roll of 2 on a D6. I assume the Vat was that big of a deal. One of the things I love about Boney is that he takes the scenarios into accounts and even low rolls aren't a huge bummer. It feels natural and makes sense, instead of something like "some intern busted the vat and everything got spoiled, we lost our research halfway through, this is all we got" or something like that.
Cute dog. I hope Mathilde gave it the pets and treats it deserved for being such a good dog (assuming it's willing).
This is so sweet and nice. I love it. Truly impressive of Boney to make me proud of a character we've seen before, like, once. This feels like a natural progression of Rolf, and I love that one of his children is named Mathilde. I'd like to think that Mathilde is touched by this, but wouldn't show it. As I said before, this is like a complete reversal of the situation at Kelham, and I coudln't be happier.
I suppose he was waiting in case she was displeased. He still doesn't know her very well, and while she gave him permission, nobles can be mercurial and cruel. I suppose part of him could have expected anger despite the permission she gave him.
Honestly, he's more knowledgable about what it's worth it to invest in for a village like this than Mathilde. Still, sheep like this have got to be expensive considering the whole train of where they came from.
Sounds like an excellent investment.
Mathilde seems to think so too, but it's not like she has any better idea than me. She is well trained in looking like she understands things that she doesn't understand at all however.
East Westerland? Isn't that around the area of the Tumble Downs? According to the Winds of Chaos map it's a supposedly very hilly region all the way until it meets Laurelorn forest. I'm surprised that their sheep are lowlanders considering all the hills. Maybe the hills aren't good for grazing, there are practically no settlements there so it would make sense. It's also interesting that Rolf refers to Westerland as Westerland and not Wasteland. Maybe the education he received hasn't gotten the good ol' propaganda touch from Mareinburg's secession.
Those lessons on numbering have done him well. He pays taxes good and proper and even knows the secret of buttering up people's palms. He's great. Wonder what kind of taxes they pay in the fief. From the examples presented in Old World Armory I would guess either Poll Taxes and/or Fifteenth/Tenth taxes.
Come to think of it, what's the fief's name? I don't remember if they had a name.
Wonder what kind of stream it was. Is he talking "shouldn't've" in the supernatural sense, or in the natural sense, like drinking water that gives you cholera or something like that.
Typical village feuds. In case anyone's confused on all the names, check the map out from Collection of Important Information:
Soningwiese, Ohlsdorf, Biberhof, Tarshof and Purgg are all in Western Stirland around the Stirhugel. Reminder that our fief is closest to Sonningwiese and has a cobbelstone road leading to it. Stirland has huge potential for trade routes considering it has as much crossroads potential as Talabecland if not more (thanks to the Moot, Zhufbar and the new canal), so I'm happy it's being taken advantage of. I wouldn't be surprised if the EIC were somehow involved in this project.
Speaking of roads, Roswita should probably get on making that Leicheberg/Halstedt road that her father wanted to make decades ago. It's painful seeing such a clear road right in the center but there's nothing there because no one bothered. Such wasted potential.
Also, flint mining seems to be still profitable in the fief. Nice. I guess those frescos/whatever are popular.
I don't think anyone here joined this quest for a Sheep herder quest. I'm sure Boney could make it fun, but it's not what I or the thread would want. And I imagine Mathilde by extension wouldn't be satisfied. Mathilde could have taken a tenure position as Loremaster of Karak Eight Peaks, but she decided to jump into the super ambitious Waystone Project. There is no way she would have settled down with the fief. But it is nice to see it thrive anyways. This was a pleasant action, even if I didn't support it, I enjoyed it.
I'll debate actions later. I spent way too long on this.

Pretty sure we'd pay that as part of the action.
Pre-paying means that we'd have a vote now and then a vote later on book mining where it's the same thing.
Because they want both milk and wool. (I.e. to increase the value and output of the flocks that they already have, not to replace them or add a new species.)

Hey @picklepikkl , why are we personally spending money on books, wasn't the library boon supposed to cover those expenses for us?
Also, how many CF until GALAXY FLEX becomes available?
Also, how many CF until GALAXY FLEX becomes available?
Going back to this point, we have committed the architecture of the library to the principle of order, but surely some personal knowledge on libraries will help us actually fulfill that vision? I don't think it's pressing, mind you, but on the other hand:
That damn 2/3...it is mocking us.

- He/Him
I was totally on board for letting the fief endlessly reinvest in itself, but apparently Rolf can't or won't? There's only so much you can do to improve such a small and limited fief? Money is just building up now and that's pointless.
Also, very strongly against using literally any of our personal money on books. I thought that was silly back when we had our Loremaster budget, it is significantly more silly now that we have our huge Library budget to do this with. There will always be opportunities to spend our money on useful stuff, stuff that cannot be used as a business expense as part of someone else's budget. We should save it for those.
So before I vote, do we have direct confirmation that having a Training Branulhune will actually give a bonus to our Training rolls? Because even if we do, getting this now that we are 1 or 2 AP away from completing our style seems like a waste of very limited AV. And the idea of training anyone doesn't seem to have come up anywhere except the thread. Don't get me wrong, I'll jump on any excuse to give some to the Dwarves because swinging an entire engagement in their favor in a circumstance where victory means that they can actually establish real territorial borders is super good. I just wonder if there are more useful things we could grab.

We're... not? Nobody has posted a plan this turn involving using out-of-pocket cash for books. I'm still debating Andres's idea, but I haven't voted for it. So I'm not sure what you mean.
Before the Organ Vat, we had 22CF. We went up to 26 after the update, but half of that CF should be Gretel's, so I expect Boney will drop it to 24 (or some up with some other solution to represent her half-credit on the vat). We need 35 for the Flex, and spend 1 per turn on the Hochlander. So probably around three turns unless we devote a WEB-MAT action to writing multiple papers in one turn?
I think actually acquiring/stealing books is how we level that, not by reading. We got the first point after stealing from clan Eshin, and we got the second point somewhere between the full reclamation of the Karak and the completion of the Dum expedition.
That said, I'm not, like, wildly against the 200gc on Verena and 250 on Hoeth that Andres proposed. Building out our library of divinities is probably going to be useful in general. I'm just not convinced that it's pressing.
EDIT:
"Some help" seems worth 1 turn's production of AV. It'll help us with anything we have left to develop, and then it can gather dust until we find a worthy successor for Branarhune (which probably won't be Eike? But it's a possibility).

I think this is the case. From the WoQMs post:
I believe Eike is now moving from Junior Apprenticeship to regular Apprenticeship, so while she is now at the point where she can be outside of mono-wind environments she still requires them to cast spells.
Oh, I see. Well, I guess we could ask Boney if acquiring books which are relevant to libraries specifically is helpful.
I'm also not voting for it at the moment, I think I'm pretty much in the same boat as you in that I think the idea has some merit but I'm not that in favour of it. I'm actually more in favour of books on Hoeth than Verena, because they go up to Esoteric and so might include some deeper insights, and because they might also be relevant for deailng with the Hoethian Great Houses in the future.
Actually, while we're on the subject of Hoethian Great Houses: do we know who's in charge of the Library of Mourning? I don't know if it was ever mentioned, but I kind of figure that one or both of the Houses that worship Hoeth might be involved. Which would be a bummer, because it would make reaching any agreement with the Library of Mourning diffuclt as they are both isolationists.

Looks decent, I think there is something to be said for buying more books as well since money in our account is as useless as money that is buried in a hole in the garden, it is not doing anything and so if there is even a marginal use we could get out of it we should take it. Hell, we could take more +1 on marginal subjects just to open them for backfill.

Re: Dual wielding, I wonder if taming our Unnatural Shadow arcane mark would help with that - it straight up attacks while Dread Aspect is on, after all. It's a cool idea, us using Branulhune and our shadow a different greatsword. Unlikely, but a fun mental image.
It's also good to see the Organ Vat yielded a reasonable amount, and also that our cactus is doing well.
