While it's not directly Mathilde fault, one of the new stuff that the QM added was a secret society that controlled from the shadows and that Van Hal + Mathilde + Regimand helped dismantle/purged it. However, due to that action, Karl Franz was implied to be butterflied away since the Empress died, coincidently during the purge of the society. The same Empress who is also holding the Emperor unborn child in her womb.

I am hoping time with both the empire and dwarfs maybe as diplomats but on the side we sell the magic liquid to the wizards both human and elf, and use the money to grow the cult of ranald.
I also I like to build a temple to ranald in the dwarf lands as he does not have a bad name there yet. It also be nice to have army units devoted to him like ranald rangers or the company of the cat. With us be his high priestess off course.

[X] Write a series of papers on the magical phenomena you witnessed. Or better yet, get your Journeymanlings to do the actual writing.

This is what I want most. I want to get through our backlog, I want to set up in Karag Nar, and most of all I want to have all the magic stuff that's happened here written down. It's, yeah, it's just things I want to do.
One particular good thing about this combo is that it does the most to get us closer to mixing Ranald with Ulgu. Building the Karag Nar temple builds up the Ranald side, the wizard tower the magic side, and the papers does two things: buffing and codifying the stuff we learned and getting us favour with the Colleges, which we can use to get more information on the subject. (I strongly suspect at least one wizard has looked into the subject.)
Only thing else I want to do is going to Karaz-a-Karak, but not as much as those three things above.

By the way, leading the Undumgi and being the hand of Belegar abroad (including the Empire) is exactly how one goes about becoming a wizard lord - holding a position of respect, having a de-facto authority over many people and maintaining her vsibility in the Empire to avoid an 'out of sight, out of mind' situation.
Basically, becoming a de-facto wizard lord seems to me the easiest way to eventually get recognised as one de-jure.

Ranald worship varies. You could find both sets being followed in different parts of the Empire. As I've stated before, Mathilde's relationship with Ranald is more unstructured than normal, and Ranald doesn't seem to mind. He's certainly capable of dropping hints if he really wanted his one in ten.
Every surviving mercenary gets paid at the end of the Expedition. The amount is unspecified but if a Dwarf King swears on his honour you'll be well paid for your service, that suffices for many.
Mathilde has one set of paperwork saying she's due a certain percentage of the pay of the majority of the mercenaries, and another saying that she owes a different set of percentages to those that turned in their 'chips' afterwards. Dead mercenaries get paid nothing, and as they have no next of kin, are due nothing. Every death amongst the mercenaries would, on average, cost her money, but if those that won big die in battle, they are no longer due their winnings.
If you intend to donate to a God, and you have only a little to donate, give it to a Priest. They can pool donations from many sources and achieve with the combined donations what no individual could.
If you have a lot to donate, a lot more can be done with that money, and you can spend it directly on something you believe the God would approve of instead of handing it over to Priests.
The idea of a vote is having to decide as best you can with limited information. Passing the buck to NPCs removes the entire point of Questing, and makes Mathilde a less interesting and more passive character.
On top of that, I can too easily see 'strategic voting' to try to get ties ending up in weird places as people edit and re-edit votes to try to get it all to line up right. If you really think two different things need to be suggested, do a write-in and try to convince others of the necessity.
If the Quest updated weekly rather than the current 24 hours to vote and then however long to write cycle, that'd be a way to do the write-in only system properly. But I don't see a way to make it work with the current update speed. 24 hours means that no matter what time I update, anyone checking the forum once a day can still contribute to every vote. Trying to subdivide that 24 hours would mean that the main contributors to any given voting cycle are largely dependent on the time of day.

If Mathilde decides to enter his service I'll turn my notes into a full stat sheet for him and reveal parts of it as Mathilde gets to know him better, but I don't want to do so while she might be about to wish him luck and walk off into the sunset.

I've been reading and watching this quest for a long while now, before the hiatus I simply lurked, and even now I only come out to vote when I think it matters, but this update has inspired me to express my feelings about the quest.
It's hard for me to put it into words, but this quest has always really done it for me. I don't know what about it has me so invested in Mathilde and her journeys, but I can honestly say that few characters or stories can get me to so deeply care about them as you have managed Boney M, and I wake up every day to check this thread practically every hour to keep up with the discussion since the hiatus ended. Even now, I'm shocked to realise that this quest has come back for less than a month, producing 500 pages since then, and that I've read every single one of those pages. There's been highs and lows, salt and triumph and great and stale jokes, but this quest has been a constant for me for the last month and I don't think I would have had it any other way.
What I'm trying to say is: I have a deep appreciation for this story, and I might not be much of a presence on the thread, but I hope to continue participating to the conclusion to Mathilde's story, wherever and whenever that may be.

"pfff, not even. There are only five hundred of them. Assign a martial hero to the east gate and it will hold until judgment day. "
Now I'm picturing Mathilde rigging up an enchantment like in The Techno Queen, ready to trigger the sound of dramatic thunder whenever a key phrase is spoken.

Before I get to the main vote there is something that I would like to bring to everyone's attention. Some time ago when we were writing the memoirs of the dragonlord, we had an option to choose how many hand-scribed copies we wanted to be made. We only chose to make three and as a result: This was a terrible oversight on our part. As such, I propose we wildly overcompensate and get our best bud Anton a kick-ass gift. Any ideas? I was thinking some dwarven silverware, made by master smiths from Karak Azul with silver from K8P. Alternatively, maybe an item from a runesmith?

I myself have no issue with research not being the primary focus after the coming updates, but if we're going to be based in Karak Eight Peaks doing something, it'd be nice to do it in a very good place to do magical stuff.
You can pick any number you like, though only three will win.
