PLANS FOR THE PLAN GOD! SCHEMES FOR THE SCHEME THRONE!!!


Poor Khorne. First Slannesh and now Tzeentch?

[X] [BELEGAR] Daemon and weakening

Idk what to do about the college, but I feel that Belegar has been with us long enough, and we've done enough for the Karaz Ankor that we can afford a ding (or sledgehammer) to our rep there. We told him about Gork (or was that Mork, honestly forget.) Yes I realize we were saved by a nat 100. But we've been honest to him before from the Ork gods to the possibility that Thorgrimm might have been stealing from the KA to fuel KAK, and also what went down at Karag Dum. We've got a reputation for being honest to him no matter how much it hurts. He's one of our closest friends and I'd like to hope that stands the test of goose boy.

Also side note, we should look into if Kragg has any Chaos be gone runes as unlikely as they are. (Also thinking that having magic ripped out of an Eye of Tzeentch if they attack us cause of our runic belt is funny as all hell. The Ork Shaman forgetting how to headbutt had me rolling.)

We're wearing his Chaos-be-gone rune-

Rune of Valaya's Vengeance: The third, the largest and most intricate of the three incorporates elements of both the Rune of the Furnace and the Rune that Valaya gave to the dwarves that allowed them to weather the coming of Chaos. It will grant you such resistance to flame that you could wade through lava, and burn off any taint of chaos before it could even touch you.

I'd honestly credit that for the Changer of Ways not taking more direct action.
 
Tzeentchian magic got a boost.

What IS Tzeentchian magic and have we been casting them somewhat?

Anyway, would it be silly that all that delve in creation of space and power stone.. also got the same Job Offer from Purple Bird?

And if we told our 'dad' he just wave it off?

Tzeentchian magic is one of the Lores of Chaos, and as such we most definitely haven't been using it. The trait is more of a potential thing in terms of the boost it offers.
 
Wait hang on I need a question answered.

When boney said that there was one OG character on the list, did he say at least one, or only one?

And does Alberich count as an original character or not? I legit do not know this.

Nah, it's a boost in the presence ot Tzeentch magic, not to it.

Though presumably we ca get that as well if we decide to go Max Goose.
 
I admit, if this was not a quest. I would adore a arc where Mathilde can't be in the empire anymore and goes on a quest to prove her loyalty and find more secrets of the waystones in the wider world. It's a perfect setup for that scenario! But it is a quest. So Mathilde of course has the ability to avoid something like that.

But if something like that did happen. Than adventuring the world would be hella fucking cool. With Boney clarifying how Ulthuan works with humans. An arc there would be 👀

Edit: Regardless of whatever happens. Only result I would be unhappy with is straight up dying in the Grey College. Escaping into the wider world would be hype though.

That belt is one of the smartest purchases the thread had ever made, and it is worth its weight in dwarf favors twice over at least.

It really is. Every rune on that belt could honestly be worth an equipment slot on its own.

Personal equipment is very much one of those things that Dwarves are the absolute best at, and this in particular was made by the Dwarf that is the best at it.

Okay so hear me out, we got an offer from druchii Magellan to sail with him on an adventure.
And the vampire coast is in that general direction, so coming back with Luthor's head to convince people we're cool is a totally valid thing to do.

I changed my mind let's tell the college everything and adventure, nothing could possibly go wrong

I just don't see any need to tell him. We've kept plenty of secrets from Belegar before, starting with the fact that we are the ones who kicked off the mad scramble that left us in control of K8P but could have gone absolutely terribly. Especially since "magic shit went wrong" is normal, but something dwarves definitely prefer not to think about. Also, telling Belegar "hey I accidentally weakened reality and a greater demon popped by but all the countermeasures worked and you don't need to worry" does not in fact prevent him from worrying, or from feeling obligated to get a runesmith to double check what we're saying.

Like -- there's no benefit to telling him, and plenty of possible downside, even if it'll be mitigated by everything we've done.
 
Speaking of Kragg, does anyone think it likely that he might already know something about what happened? He is the greatest living Runelord, and helped build our towers, so if something weird happened there, there's a chance he has a "Mathilde Alarm", and it might be ringing very loudly right now.

And if he doesn't, well, he also has Bok, and we don't know it's full capabilities, but it probably has some form of anti-demon detection ability or something? So that might have spent the last five minutes going "Bok. Demonic interference detected. Contact the nearest Archmage/Runelord as soon as possible. Bok."

The benefit, from a certain (dwarven) point of view is that being honest with people who trust you is inherently better than not being honest with people who trust you.

It also has the virtue of making it less likely that our actions will be cast in a suspicious light if Belegar finds out what happened by some other means (e.g. the speculation about Kragg and/or Bok)

It believes that if a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch says it, that's useless. If a Cult of Khorne is also saying it, and a Cult of Slaanesh is acting like it, and a Cult of Nurgle is really trying to burnish the reputation of their champion, then a greater trend starts to emerge, a signal derived from the noise.
That's actually clever, now that I think about it.

How do you know something's important to Chaos?

When it's important enough that a Khornate wastes valuable face-punching time on stopping to carry on a conversation.

When it's important enough that a Slaaneshi stops literally fucking around and wastes valuable self-gratification time to actually do something.

When it's important enough that a Nurglite tries to, I dunno, mask the stench and actually give a damn about PR for a change.

How do you know something's important to Tzeentch? Hell, we're not sure Tzeentch himself knows the answer to that question.

Its theoretically possible, but the Room of Calamity is specifically magically isolated. There's likely very little that could see something happening in there from the outside.

Kragg probably could have set something up to alert him if the flush got used, but I don't think that he would.

True, but if something could detect a demonic intrusion inside the room of calamity, it would be a Golden Age Masterwork with five runes imprinted on its soul.

I'm not saying it has, I just want to consider the possibility that it might have been able to.
 
The thought occurs that we have discovered important safe storage information about AV
-note to Thorek and future users of AV never ever use a third of a gallon or more at once
 
Boney showed a tournament bracket, wich seems to imply that one can only advance by winning an encounter, but I think that's it. Nothing that would would be known by characters in-universe.
I suspect it's not a tournament in the sense that participants of each bracket are pitted against others in that specific order, but rather that it's a free for all (with outsiders packing plenty of steel chairs) and the brackets are mainly for flair.

At least I don't think Boney would enforce the brackets over dice and logic so that it'd be impossible for two candidates on one side of the bracket to be the final contenders.

...Like in the setting or...?
The Imperial Zoo is known to keep two-headed Griffons, and they're a mount option on the tabletop:
