What DragonParadox said.
Finding... what? What is there to find?
Oh, I'm not saying it won't be a much harder experience, just pointing out that questioning your own thoughts is something Grey Wizards are trained to do and not get completely broken by.
They've always been able to do that. Always. The truth isn't a magic cheat code for being believed. They receive no extra points for this encounter.

If your retort is just to put you hands on your hips and say "nuh-uh," and ignore half of what I write then you clearly aren't willing to consider alternate viewpoints
Well yeah, I don't think we can completely erase it, just that we can minimize the moment. Having a ready answer to something that did actually happen will be better than not. Completely random nonsense is one thing, but something true that can't be met with "it's been dealt with" would prompt a slightly different reaction, and it's in those slight differences they could get us.
If we really need to we could probably explain it away as Ranaldian influence—assuming Ranald doesn't mind, but he definitely knows what's up already and would probably let it slide if we're honestly not fucking around—since Melkoth has actually seen us do some crazy shit when we were using the Coin. Granted, he doesn't know what it was, but it's definitely something we had before we ran into the Tzeentchian demon.
Buuut if the people there know Mathilde well, they might be able to tell from her reaction that there is some truth in what the demon said
Yes. It's a real pity Mathilde was alone.
Unless the Dwarf takes one look at us and starts grumbling about oaths and obligations we have to those we are sworn and then it becomes a lot more difficult for Webber to say no to a search.
Good point.
They also feel quite strongly about the rights of guilds and defending against chaos but the fact that you refuse to consider any other possibility (Starke and Algard are LM Greys, the sneak through the treasury, they find Matty's notes on the Liber Mortis in her library, etc) just proves my point. If your only role in the discussion is to skim contradictory posts and say in response "no, this broad possibility can never happen, because this one specific example contradicts My Opinion, which is Correctermost"
It's not that they won't, it's that they're not any better at it. This doesn't make the lava hotter.
As an aside, I think this is the case, actually. Miscasts are an order of magnitude more common for non-quest-protagonist wizards, and daemonic contact that lets you learn the Lore of Chaos is a rather middling result, all told.
I mean there were four other damning pieces of evidence in my example, and this is, yannow, Warhammer. Where there's a full ass College practicing prohpecy, who's prophecies have been shown in thread to be cautiously believed if corroborated by other evidence.
