Would be nice if Mathilda could develop a Magical Staff that is a Rifle/Naginata with Shadow Fuckery and maybe Lightning gun abilities by helping the Gold Wizard.

I'd love to see an omake on the rumors that will hit Stirland. There's going to be thousands coming back with their share of the loot, and Codrin's boys were definitely familiar with the Dämmerlichtreiter and she was pretty damn visible in this campaign. Considering how in the Drakenhof campaign her magic wasn't super visible outside punking the Singing King I bet her legend is going to grow further.
It's less us getting into the super technical aspects and mostly us trying to exploit the unique research opportunities in order to leverage them personally. The snakejuice, the coin, padding out our spell list, and maybe a bit of not so light reading. A lot of it's going to be developing useful applications and enchantments for ourselves. The only real theoretical stuff the thread seems to be interested in is an eventual Ulgu ascension ritual and pairing divine casting with Ulgu.

If you add going to the Grudge Striking then I will change my vote to your plan.

[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.

[X] Write a series of papers on the magical phenomena you witnessed. Or better yet, get your Journeymanlings to do the actual writing.
[X] There's a lot of prime real estate currently unclaimed. Stake out a prime position for a wizard's tower.

I myself am not particularly interested in returning to the Empire long-term yet, but I do imagine that K8P will get boring to stay in, so I voted to be the Manling leader/point of contact and an externally focused spy.

It seems research is strongly in the lead, as is helping out Kragg as the fastest messenger in the Empire. More up for debate is third place; currently it's more wizard scouting, but strong contenders are writing a paper with our journeymanlings and becoming the mayor of Ranald-town.
I'm really up for becoming the mayor of Ranald town. It's a great way to redeem The Protector, and these guys will be a lot more up for it than the Stirland Watch was, and the Stirland Watch had a chance of actually changing him so imagine how good this opportunity will be.

As we get three votes.
[X] Travel to Karaz-a-Karak with King Belegar for the striking out of several well-aged grudges.

All three of these would be great.
@BoneyM
What are the chances our lab can tap into the waystone network for lab boosts given K8P being a waystone nexus?

There's nobody else particularly keen on taking it, since it was a greenskin temple most recently and before that it wasn't a Dwarven one. It will be available for whatever future plans Mathilde might have.
It will take research and you don't know the nature of the boosts it would provide, but it's definitely possible.

@primemountain You are probably shooting yourself in the foot by making a plan. This is no plan vote, it's "top three get picked".
To the expedition. Thirty Bolt Throwers, twenty Grudge Throwers, thirty motherfucking cannon, seven thousand dwarves, of which two thousand were Longbeards and a thousand were Hammerers, and two thousand rangers to top it off, two journeymanlings, and wagonloads of equipment to the mercs that shined so much.
A stupid amount of artillery, plus a small army of elite dwarf troops, plus gear for the tens of thousands of mercs and adventurers.
Mathilde's diplomatic efforts played as big a part as her stealth or magic skills in this victory.
Yeah, besides witnessing the absolutely incredible event of striking out loads of three thousand year old grudges, Mathilde's first, and arguably greatest contribution to the Expedition was adding this:

Red-yellow-green danger levels of various paths. Based entirely on memory so there may be inaccuracies. Note the green path up Blood River, that's new. And the green on the second half of Death Pass, that used to be red. Still not a safe trip but whoo boy hell of a lot safer.
Bit of a niche question, but how navigable is the River Ruin? It seems like the next logical move for further securing the WHF Silk Road would be to plant a fortress and some docks as far up the river as sea-going ships can sail and try to avoid going near Black Fortress and Flayed Rock altogether. That might be a potential long-term plan?

Mathilde was an absolutely great strategic asset, but the first thing she did for the Expedition was going 'Belegar calls for Aid!' and rounding up at least a third of everybody who ended up coming (if I've read that right? The actual numbers might be more or less, but they were still very significant).
Plus, becoming mayor of Ranald-town means another shot at redeeming Ranald the Protector, except this time we have a holy site of his major victory over Mork to build a temple on, and more than six thousand knowing and willing Worshipers who are all very eager to continue having him on their side.

It's called 'River Ruin' because way up to the north it goes right through the Chaos Dwarf industrial hellscape of Zharr-Naggrund. It's unknown what it would do to a boat on any given day but the possibilities are universally bad.

This suggests a future assisting Karak Eight Peaks with foreign relations, as a Spymaster focused outwards.

This suggests a future catching up on your pre-existing study topics.
[X] All this time away has made you miss your friends. Visit Anton and Wilhelmina.
This suggests a future in Stirland, whether Roswita likes it or not.

[X] You're going to have a rough time explaining your windfall to the Bursars. Better to get that over with.
...yeah. Paperwork never ends. Best get to it
That said, I was kinda hoping that we would begin looking for work as another advisor back in the Empire. Oh well

Not gonna work. The Black Fortress is tied for the second most important Chaos Dwarf stronghold, and they won't take kindly to any attempt at competition.
If you claim a tower you'll get a list of options. The immediate possibilities are the penthouse that had the treasure in Karag Nar, the secondary peak of Karag Lhune, or a tower of the Citadel, but I might think of some others.

Shit I want to do:
Stay a bit do the calm shit: write our magical experiences, figure out the lustria eggs, figure out our snake-in-a-box, maybe help our jouneymanlings a little, network a bit
Visit Sirland: just a visit to check how things are going. Maybe look at our estate, see if the brat has failed at everything and ruined everything her father fixed.
deciding what to do full time can come after we clear our "side quests" so to say.
