I do really want Mathilde just to show up in her gyrocarrier in front of the college with some sun glasses, preferably when every other apprentice is leaving, and then go "get in apprentice. We have a WAAAGH to stop."

As I said, fief gets whatever purchase it wants to improve itself, but if its literally just going to sit there we'll take some. Even if I still think it's weird that there's nothing else to really do.
Neutral on everything else, except that I really don't want to purchase any books whatsoever out of pocket.

Heh, she was theorizing about the Black Death and Red Pox because she didn't know about the Skaven then.
Or at least, didn't know she knew.

This is not meant to be critique or asking for side adventure of discovering "what is wrong with the stream", but as someone who actually did used to have to fetch water from local spring when electricity shut down for few weeks back when i was wee little shit, i've got some experience and i can't help myself.
So without further ado.
Pretty easily, the only things that commonly cause you to be ill from drinking water that don't come from the stream itself do so years in the future to deadly effect, usually because there is an overabundance of heavy metals somewhere under the ground. That has virtually no signs until the heavy metal reaches critical mass and you invariably die, at least in these times.
If the water is actually clear and doesn't flow from some sort of swampland, just about the only thing that could cause illness is animal carcass or waste somewhere upstream, and thats something they would know to check for
Most water contaminants that won't outright kill you insidiously are products of urban civilization.

Nods. Thank you.
It's still a bit of a long-shot for this to win, but it'd be neat, and I don't particularly like money remaining in a hole, not being used.
I just want to point out that Gretel does not have silk sheets yet—when we were looting the Kul camp, the silk option pointed out that if we took them we would have beaten her to having them.

Apologies for the delay, I was attending to a very important nap.
I like Bretonnia as a choice, but I like Textiles too, so I'll add an approval vote rather than switch it.
What surprised me was that hawk feathers are worth enough to make up for the loss of an eye. How expensive are those things?
I think it's just if she wants something outdoors, because the Ambers have outdoor spaces?
The e is actually pronounced. Mar-Gah-Reh-Teh, four syllables. Now, Margarette would be something different, but you can blame the French for that.
She's the competition for getting the first set. We've got better connections, she's more often in the region.

While this is very much an important lesson, and it's expected of a Grey Wizard, I think things are a bit different for Mathilde and perhaps that skewed my viewpoint. Mathilde had her fair share of deeds that went unnoticed, but a good portion of what she's done is public and was done through a public position. Mathilde herself has taken some time to indulge in her achievements and rewards and ego, to the point that the thread made the "headpat" meme off of it.
It's still very important to maintain the idea that you shouldn't let things go to your head too much and maintain a low profile, but I'd like to think Mathilde has a kind of different viewpoint on this due to her own personal experiences.
In the end though, It's pretty tough for me. I'm the type that struggles to hold back my pride or affection for someone else, so it's difficult for me to be restrained when I think someone's done a great job.
Our minds often think in very different directions.
I would assume Dancing has some overlap with other domains. First thing to come to mind is, uh, Atharti. Confidence, contentment and happiness can be derived from dancing, and of course it can lead to Pleasure. I like to think of Atharti in a less.... extreme manner. The Druchii don't give her a good image, but I'd like to think that Eonir worship of her is pleasant and fulfilling.

We're talking about people who know nothing about either germ theory or magic, which gives them no tools at all to distinguish between mundane illness and supernatural curse. There's a long and grim history of water sources next to cesspits before we figured out that could be a problem.

Junior apprentice - no control at all, they can't stop casting if they wanted. College only.
Regular apprentice - able to choose whether they want to cast, but still grabs a mixed blob of Winds when they do. Can leave the college, provided a safe casting area to practice in
Senior apprentice - can cast with supervision outside

I'd guess it was either neat limewater or downflow from where a lot of shitting happens, which is a common issue with herds
I think in our case here

Quite a bit. They tend to be rather difficult to hit and nest in inaccessible places.

I don't really have an opinion on the library vote. Now that backfilling can be directed to categories rather than entirely random stuff, some look appealing—a broader base for 'human religion' or one of the 'science' categories would be nice. But none so much that they're urgent.

No Eike, you've got to understand, someone was going to assassinate the Emperor at that opera... But also its a secret who was going to.
Damn conspiracy of silence making us look like a poor master.
Clearly enemies of the empire are resorting to desperate measures to get us to abandon our projects.
That doesn't refute my point. I've seen people claim that Gretel used either her pay from the expedition or the money from the gemstones she looted to buy silk sheets, and that isn't true at all.

Huh? What are you...
Oh. Oh! I missed that this is a thing! My eyes tend to slide over the descriptions of purchase options since they are usually the same from one turn to the next.

Hell, the invention of hygiene is often put at 1847, and you could argue for later dates, and it would take a good while until washing your hands as a good idea was accepted. Like, going to a hospital could lower your survival rates, because the doctors touched nasty shit beforehand. And getting doctors to actually wash their hands was a whole fight, despite very clear numbers.
Other cultures and times were better about it, but shitty medicine is the default human experience. And even today, in the places with genuinely working medicine, there's still plenty not understood, and also plenty of bullshit.
It's not supposed to. It's an addendum on the state of the competition.

This is a great point and I didn't catch that the option had changed. Boney had said the option was gonna change, but I forgot and didn't check. Applied Science seems like a very fruitful shaft to mine sometime in the future, it's got Metallurgy, Textiles, and Medicine. Social Science gets us stuff about foreign realms and enemies, too, which is great. And, of course, human religions is something we care about a lot.
I still think I'm likely to want a Barak Varr option on T39, but it's a lot closer than it was before.
