I know, but it would hurt me more to keep it at 1/2. And really, any of the Wards sounds interesting enough.

Eh, I'm open to the idea.
I'd prefer to stay on a course that leaves us friendly with Dwarfs.
But Everchosen mathilde does sound fun.
It would not be trust me, there is a reason Chaos quests rarely made it past the third or fourth update.

I somehow completely missed that. This little detail actually changes a lot for me. It makes the priority of telling Belegar and taking active steps much lower. Which also means that fudging with timelines in ways no one can ever find out becomes much easier. I still think we should get checked out by Gunnars and that getting checked out by Algard might have some value, but I am back to thinking that just shutting up about it otherwise is an acceptable option.
What is the reason? The ones I saw seemed just like the QM lost interest very fast. Or they weren't written all too well.

The smug bird did imply that "Everchosen Mathilde Quest" would involve a dark crusade against the Chaos Gods, rather than the Civilised Realms.
Of course, the sacrifices involved in just getting there aren't really worth thinking about. And I'm saying this as someone who actually wrote an "Everchosen Mathilde" omake.
I think your premise that this failure is not mitigate-able is incorrect. Some aspects are harder to mitigate, true - "has the attention of a Lord of Change" is tricky to remove from your character sheet. But it's not like Mathilde hasn't made enemies before. And while it's a bit more powerful than a Wisdom's Asp, it's not impossible to escape from.
I trust Boney to not make "Mathilde asks for advice on X situation" boring/pointless.
As I see it, the primary dangers from this are:
1 (very low probability) : Mathilde decides that the demon is right, goes for Everchosen.
2 (far higher probability): Mathilde ignores that a Lord of Change now is paying attention to her, fails to take steps to mitigate that, has Unfortunate Things happen as a result.
3 (not really known, probably between 1 and 2) : Something happens to suggest Mathilde is being demon-haunted and didn't report it, thus reducing trust in her further than if she did.

Looks at my Chaos Cult Quest, currently on Turn 4
Hmm. I should update soon.
Stop: Demons are not an excuse to attack other users.

While I understand that recent demon-related updates have the thread agitated like an angry beehive, that is absolutely no excuse for making such pointed and uncivil remarks clearly directed towards another user.
@Geedubs has been issued 25 points under Rule 3 - Be Civil, and removed from the thread for 3 months in line with the long-standing thread policy.
More generally, I'm closely watching the ongoing thread chatter, and I expect people to be on their best behaviour regardless of Tzeentchian spanners. There are ways to express disagreement that don't involve insults, so if you find yourself getting heated... just don't post. Go do something else and come back when you aren't typing under the influence of Khorne.
The demons cannot get you if you touch grass.

Completely worth it
What is this grass you speak of?

Whilst this is probably the right decision, It is tempting to snark.
"The demons cannot get you if you touch grass" is a pretty great line out of context.

Not a helpful comment. This thread hasn't been locked in ages and I trust the participants enough to know that they will rein it in since the staff post. Best not to doompost about the thread's state because it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I mean, that's a pretty good streak for a quest this big.

If people can be reasonably civil, it won't get locked.
We're all adults here, except for ones who aren't, we can have a conversation about what happened without insults.
It is literally impossible for Mathilde to choose to become an ever chosen because Mathilde's decision making bits are the thread voters.
She did not even go for comparatively more controllable necromancy to save Van Hal. Even putting that as a low probability serves to give some legitimacy to the supposedly far higher probability of Unfortunate Things and something happening which are so vague as might produce a sixth Chaos God of Ill Defining IMO, though that is I guess fitting as the proposals for how to deal with the problem are just as poorly defined.
I do not think randomly treating anyone vaguely wise or pious we know as a therapist and chaos wrangler will solve anything an it will probably give them all nightmares of how terrible Chaos Mathilde would be.

IIRC wasn't that essentially Archaon's motivation: to destroy the world so as to prevent it falling to the Dark Powers, rather than conquering it in their name?
At least that's what my thoughts went to when birdy said that bit.

NEW TOPIC!
Do you think we'll take another apprentice after Eike, or should we give it a good long while?

I think it's okay to be worried and anxious, because Tzeentch is a pretty big deal, and the LoC did violate Mathilde, and by extension, the questers, and that can be quite upsetting. We lost control of the situation and that's shaken our confidence quite a bit (compliments about our hat not withstanding).
However, I think it's something that we need to be calm with when discussing it with each other, especially since we haven't had a chance to see the after effects upon Mathilde yet.
Keep calm and don't let the birb win.

I think that'd require another potential apprentice we'd have a connection with.
I can't help but feel people are making a mountain out of a molehill with this. This was just our already-due-to happen temptation that everybody at our level gets, you know? We report it to the gray college, disregard everything the demon said, and go on with our lives.
Personally, I'm more interested in figuring out how to actually ward a liminal space so it doesn't turn into daemon central again.
