[X] This is Dawongr Weber's money. The funds will largely go projects within the Karaz Ankor - your tower for one, but also investing in the Undumgi or Ulrikadrin, or purchasing goods made by Dwarven artisans or sold in the markets of Barak Varr.

[X] Claim the site where Ranald mugged Mork and build a shrine to Ranald there.
[X] Write a series of papers on the magical phenomena you witnessed. Or better yet, get your Journeymanlings to do the actual writing.
 
Seconded. The "mount Vietnam" tag is there for a reason.

..wait, where did that tag go???
We got through with minimal actual vietnaming. It happened really fast.
Hmm, I just remembered about the cold-blooded thing the Amber noticed, so probably not good on areas with winter climates then?
Depends on the type of coldblooded creature, but it likely wouldn't impact tunnel/indoor use if you can keep them fed.
 
They way artifacts are, I think that investing as much as possible is generally better and more efficient than investing a little.

So I'd be cool with 20-ish favor items.
 
@BoneyM , is there a point to spending favors on Tower? Do dwarfs have any runes they use for buildings or anything that can be applied to lab tools (meaning it would have to be better than our magical built-in tools)?

The Colleges would be better for tools and environments aligned with individual winds, but the Dwarves would be better at creating magically inert tools and workspaces. The former is good for creating, the latter for investigating.
 
Information: Did I stutter?
Well, yes, you're correct of course! Your opinions and citations are just objectively better after all, it helps that our entire position is just flat out gee golly wrong and we need to be educated by the perfectly arguing mass in favor of pure discl..

Fuck it, I'm out, I'm not letting you people bait me into infracting myself.
I am not sure how literally any of the options (aside from maybe Projectiles) is "boring". Matter of taste.


Nah, you also insulted, well, more than half of voters. Due to little more than salt over the lost vote.
did i stutter?
After all that this thread has gone through over the past week, you insist on making it personal.

It is understandable to be frustrated with quest votes. It is understandable to be upset about things not going your way.

But the next poster who lobs a backhanded snipe at someone else or who attacks other posters, even tangentially, is going to get a 3-month threadban and 50 points.

If you cannot bring down the temperature on your own, I will do it for you.
 
Oh, I forgot that Mathilde only have 35 favors. Getting a 25 weapon is... Kind of wasteful, I think. She killed more indirectly with magic and misdirection than feats of martial might directly.

We probably want some Dwarf trainers for Stirland Sewer Jacks (I forgot their new name) for anti-Skaven tactics. Ranger level start at 2 favors, hero level is at 8 favors, plus gold.
Improve Nightsoil>Nitre enterprise into Gunpowder factory? 5 favors.
Personal tutoring? 1-10 favors, probably can nudge the Journeymanlings to get these.
Rare and very rare books at 1-2 favors per item.

With regards to weapon/item commission, there is a line about minimum favor spent to get commission from Kragg or Thorek, so I assume that's around 15, like how we get the Belt last time?

EDIT: 25 per item is max, and probably would get the pair of Runesmiths work together, I think? Working together has been clarified as not possible by WoG.
Kragg does not collaborate.

EDIT^2: Ugh, I guess Mathilde can still earn more favors...

BoneyM, I kinda forgot to ask this before and I don't know if anyone ever mentioned this, but is it possible for Mathilde to spymaster her way up the rank to be the Emperor's Spymaster? What kind of path do we need for that to happen?

Sure. The simplest way would be working for an Elector Count that becomes Emperor, but if you had a reputation for that work in the right circles when the Emperor was looking for a new Spymaster, your name could come up.

The way to head in that direction would be to perform intrigue-related acts that catch the Empire's attention, and generally move in those circles.

Establishing a stronghold here is more important to me than establishing the ideal Ranald shrine.
 
why dont we show Kragg the Grim the snake juice now? I mean we carry a flask of it and not using it.
This is a excellent suggestion, and i'm not writing this just because i enjoy the idea of a grim dwarf runemaster watching a the result of a critical fail turning into a metacritical success and screaming 'why?!?'. Plus after both the Gold Order and the Elves he's probably the best shot of experimenting with it safely.

Uh, I don't mean to question a mod post, sorry if this isn't the right place for it, but I think that that quote from Alectai is before Datcord made his red mod post and thread-banned some people the first time around? Did you mix them up with somebody else, or is it a backlog thing, or something? Sorry.

Edit: To clarify, you're quoting two posts nearly a hundred pages apart, which is why I was confused.

Here's my current vote after reading the update and a few pages, currently reading the uh... 21 pages between here and there, I'll see if any discussion changes my mind.
 
[X] Karag Nar penthouse
The first possibility that leaps to mind is the uppermost dwelling of Karag Nar, with a beautiful 360-degree view and a commanding position. The Black Orc Warboss' reasons for taking it for his own are obvious, and though it will take some time and effort to clear out the possessions that hadn't been safely stowed in the King's Armoury, it is bursting with potential and would allow you to keep a careful eye on the Undumgi and Death Pass.
[X] Scout the rest of the Eight Peaks, to find out what other horrors are waiting out there.
This suggests a future assisting Karak Eight Peaks with its reconquest, as a Spymaster focused on threats within the Karak.
[X] Join Karak Azul as they raid and scout in force the other portions of the Karak.
