Honestly I think it might be for a similar reason as to why most artists tend to be quick to criticise their own works whilst also being quick to praise others.
I was legit not expecting Kragg to be around his usual level of dissapointment.
Mathilde: "Just for that, I'm going over there and settting this down on your desk like it's the world's worst paperweight. Which you'll need once your enchantments explode."
It does mean we can't literally dump the orbs on his desk without out triumphant victory being undercut by mountains of paperwork.
It means our triumphant victory will be appropriately decorated with confetti.
They probably will feel the big balls of everything™ coming before we get to the door, their not subtle...
Maybe I'm just unusually suspicious by nature, but if Satan manifested in a puff of brimstone and pointed a clawed finger at a family member and said, 'Hey, have you ever considered upper management working for me?' I'd be wondering.
In a big Undivided invasion force, there will nearly always be things for us to do that don't involve specifically going after Tzeentchians.
Remember, a Tzeentchian curse isn't necessarily a passive bomb waiting to "blow up" under specified trigger conditions that we can safely detonate ahead of schedule.
Chaos lords are pretty far outside normal humanity and biology, to the point where things like "I merged with my armor" or "I grew a second head" is fairly normative 'you do you' territory for them.
It's more like Satan left a voicemail tbh, and he's not even the only devil...
And the recipient has decades of work history working for the competition and just recently had some major victories against them.
*Tzeentch bursts into existence in a myriad of multicoloured flames* Hello, would you like to invest in Birdcoin?
Yeah, morbs getting delayed a year is gonna open up a lot of options. Rite of way and finishing up our sword style are right at the top of my list. Though finishing up eonir diplo and bringing eike along again is tempting after the kind of gains she got last time. Rite of Way specifically first though probably given we need to get that done before we can build a magic road through the swamp.
I think he is just reading Mathilde, whose own thoughts are heavily influenced by our massive paranoia and endless discussions.
I dont't think he's saying anything that Mathilde didn't know or Boney hadn't said in comments (and therefore that Mathilde knew). This might just be a case where its more reassuring to hear something you already knew from someone you respect... and is almost certainly not chaos influenced.
Not only can RoW be finally finished, but the Morbing being delayed means that our serenity paper not getting enough CF is no longer a concern, so I am off the hook for picking terrain obstacles as a topic! Njawrr'thakh 'Lzimbarr Tzeentch!
So apparently Kragg, who has no wind-sight or other exotic senses, can run a diagnostic on the structural integrity of reality itself just by the pressure it exerts on his soul.
Belegar remains a bro.
Sufficiently reassuring.
Entirely reasonable.
Actually a good point. If we hadn't said anything we wouldn't have known to leave it alone for a while. We might have suspected but just imagine what could have happened if we made the morbs. The amount of magic in the air for that might just have done something stupid.
I doubt it's the actual bonus that changed. It seems more likely that failure tables just now include "things break through from the warp" and the chances are massively increased in this first year.
But in that case, why are we/Questers so trusting of other NPCs? Wouldn't a screwy GM have best friends turn traitor or whatever? I don't have much experience with Quests or RPG campaigns like that.
Is it actually boring though? Doing the same action multiple turns in a row could easily become boring to read and write, but doubling up actions in the same turn should just lead to a shorter update, no? Two Branarhune actions would share the same intro and have lots of internal overlap, so that stuff doesn't need to be repeated. It would just lead to a single larger than average section.
I didn't quite get that part. Didn't he also say "Think fast" and throw it at Mathilde the first time? What did he do differently this time that didn't mess with his spatial desk enchantments?
