I don't think a consensus was reached on recruiting Bretonnia - or rather if they should be brought in before Waystone prototype or after.

Well, next turn I'm going to be pushing for the Servioscope, so if we call that one WEB-MAT action, then study Nehekharan with whomever is interested from WEB-MAT makes two, and from there there's a bunch of moving parts:
Maybe getting good rolls on the liminal realm/Morb-making actions then getting Max to take diction on the AV book if we vote to get him to write it, and then maybe not going to Nehekhar 'til the turn after, as I kinda want to bring Elrisse on that trip.
Edit: I did forget entirely about the idea of having a 'Father' turn soon, which would probably be any given turns 'big thing' in terms of directing our actions.
Consensus, after a lot of back and fourth looked to me to be 'we'll see when the next turn arrives.' Presumably so as to avoid being held to an earlier choice that was made in relation to different circumstances.

The auditory servioscope you mean? We already managed the visual one, I'm strongly looking forward to presenting it to Kragg.
Now that I think about it, using Bodyguard and Trio while Mathilde charges on her Shadowsteed gives off 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' vibes.

I wonder what would happen if we bound a Handmaiden or Whispering Darkness to the part of our soul represented by our Living Shadow Arcane Mark.
Could we get a Stand?

Since we're probably going to want to go on Elfcation the Nehekharan turn is probably best held the turn after that so that we don't stop the Waystone actions.

Because that action's result hadn't been written yet, I thought there'd be another action to do for the visual version. Thank you.
happy noises and such
I dunno tbh, the auditory version is very appealing, but I could wait a few turns - if there's a lot of people very excited for some other 1 AP WEB-MAT actions. But they'd have to be very excited, as the auditory servioscope is intensely cool and probably widely useful.
I'm not saying they'll create burritos ex nihilo, but we might get some wraps!
Eh, I'm ambivalent on the timing on the Elfcation tbh, apart from a lazily considered 'well, putting it on an overwork turn sounds sensible' stance.
Thinking on it, my suggestion of 'what if we learn Nehekharan via WEB-MAT and go there the following turn' might have been a bad idea, it's not a good feeling, constraining your next turn's actions when there already so much demand for small 'blocks' of AP.

The general idea is that either we continue one-and-done'ing every Waystone action and can present them a prototype next turn as part of recruitment, or we hit a stumbling block next turn and have justification for recruiting a new perspective into the project.
Given Ulthuan has noticed that the network is being expanded it is important to get our united front together asap.
There was a lot of support last turn to windheard a 'stat swapping mirror' with Egrimm.

Describing the discussion as having reached a consensus that our upcoming turn should be a Father turn seems like at best a very optimistic takeaway from what looked to me like two or three people pitching it with varying degrees of seriousness and largely getting responses ranging from "I guess we could do something with that depending on how it goes" to "I don't want to invite Bretonnia in right now regardless".
A short and probably incomplete list of possible web-mat actions:
Egrimm:
- seviroscope
- moon shrine
- windherding projects
-- stat swapping mirror
-- cloak of flashy escapes
-- sword of light and dark
-- others that I don't remember right now
- learning Nehekaran
-- requires that we pull him into a project that uses it because he doesn't like being used
--- all our current Nehekaran projects are super illegal
---- Egrimm might be okay with that?
- Kurgan weapon enchantments
Johann
- elf socials
- apparition hunting
- monster punching
- waystone finding
- titan metal stuff
Max
- paper writing
-- mostly coin papers
-- maybe AV?
- seviroscope?
- do we need something crafting?
- Teclisian tributaries?

Going "Hey Egrimm, you want to take a language class so you can help me translate the Scrolls of W'Soran and Vlad von Carstein's notes on the ring Nagash gave him?" would certainly be one way to see if we actually butterflied away him being a Chaos cultist.

I think the only things with unanimous consensus for next turn are:
- We make the Orbs (whether they're presented that turn or held off to present with the book does not have unanimous consensus, though)
- We do at least something Waystones, rather than abandon job actions entirely.

While the orbs are a relatively safe bet.
I would not be that surprised if we ended up doing something completely different.
I would. There's been a handful of actions that a large portion of the thread has been thirsty about and the Orbs are one of them.

If we did learn a language next turn, I'd rather it be Kislevarin. The Fire Spire books from Vlag feel more urgent to me than the enchanting notes; if nothing else, I'd expect the former to help with the latter.
I'd be happy learning both, mind you, but given that even learning one feels like a long shot that's my preference.

The problem with getting traction for learning Kislevarin is we don't have the Fire Spire books. We do have the Prophecies and the notes on the Ring.

And we can certainly set up book buying much easier in Kislev than in Zandri.
Though we should probably actually try to negotiate for the books before taking actions on the assumption that they exist. They are still only speculation at this point.
I'm the biggest Father stan in existence and I approve of this message. If all goes well/extremely poorly with the Foundation then a Father plan next turn would not be out of the question, but "not out of the question" is very far from something there's a consensus on doing.
We have a perfectly legal Nehekharan project: looking into the Nehekharan network, which Boney confirmed to be a reasonable reason for us to ask Egrimm to learn Nehekharan.
Nehekharan isn't that big of a long shot imo. As mentioned above it can be done through WEB-MAT, it's a magical language which gets some people really excited, there's two artefacts that it'll allow us to study and it's related to one of our sources for Waystone information (assuming that the Lights actually have anything).
Boney also confirmed that specifically written Nehekharan is doable in one action (I imagine there will be some sort of roll) so if all goes well it won't be that big of an AP investment.
Well, imperial Wizard Lords do have T4 on tabletop as opposed to T3 on regular humans and hero level wizards. But IIRC that is an exception rather then the rule and most casters have stats comparable to basic troops.

Heroes in general (including all Wizards) do have more Wounds as well (2+ to the 1 most random soldiers possess). That's pretty universal.
