Mathilde: Proceeds to roll 100 vs 1 on the follow up contested roll
...and that is the story of how we now have a Changer of Ways in a box. Damn it we will never get through the research backlog :V

This gave me a thought. Isolating a stronger demon away from a chaos god without them vanishing from existence could cause a interesting result. Some might even use it as a chance to slip the leash entirely. What they do after that? Almost certainly nothing pleasant but it would be interesting regardless.

Is that even a thing? Sure, you can stuff one into a box and bind it, but it's still the daemon of a Chaos god. How exactly does it "slip the leash" of its own god and creator? There's willing betrayal of its god, but Skarbrand was very much an exception and not a rule there.

Isn't Tzeentch a god of treachery?

Although, He's a god of long planned, premeditated treachery, not just being stuffed into a box and going yolo...
 
Can somebody remind me what the gigaflex was? I only remember it as making eight orbs of sorcery at once. I don't remember what the liminal realm has to do with it.

...and I'm really hoping that Teclis will follow best elf traditions (or just wait until he's well enough to make the trip) and show up sometime after the flex, not during or before xD

Teclis: "So. Who is the one behind all these innovative ideas?"
Supreme Patriarch: "That would have been Lady Magister Mathilde Weber."
Teclis: "Where can I meet her?"
Supreme Patriarch: "Ah, I'm afraid she's dead. Old age, seventy years ago. Her former apprentice is the current Magister Matriarch of the Grey Order, however, if you wish to meet her."

Saddest timeline where we never got to Ulgu ascension
(but Eike apparently did... or asked Shallya for a miracle...)

Algard: "You missed all the excitement. Teclis was here. Even asked after you. Or, rather, asked after the person who made all these things."
Mathilde: "Where is he now?"
Algard: "Went back to Ulthuan. Did you see his ship passing in the opposite direction when you were coming back?"

The 'refuses to elaborate' meme would be great here, except that it would take extreme physical violence to prevent Mathilde from elaborating if anyone seems even slightly interested.

Would anyone be even slightly interested in how she managed to trap an Apparition and recreate the Orbs of Sorcery? Iunno, can't see this being a popular topic... :V
 
Honestly what would be even more hilarious is if we went off on the Elfcation after the gigaflex then while we were there Teclis hears about us and decides to meet with us while we are close before heading back to the Empire with us.

So it would look like we then went and grabbed Elf Daddy.

"Algard, daemon check me now, because I'm not going to stick around to explain."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm so glad you asked. You see... and thats how I created the greatest magical innovation since Teclis left. Now I'm going to leave you all in awe unless anyone has any follow up questions? Please?"

You know, every so often the thread will wonder whether we should tell anyone about a given secret or dilemma, or get a second opinion, or otherwise volunteer information unprompted...

And every time, I can't help but think this is the least Ulgu-y behavior that the thread engages in.
 
I still think it would be objectively funny if we didn't drop the Orbs and the book on the same turn.

Mathilde: I expect you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today.
Collected Magisters [M/P]atriarch: Something like that.
Mathilde: If you'll all look under your seats, I'm sure everything will be cleared up.
Collected Magisters [M/P]atriarch: *look under seats*
Collected Magisters [M/P]atriarch: ????????
Collected Magisters [M/P]atriarch: *look up to ask questions*
Mathilde: *disappeared in an aura of smugness while their heads were turned*

Fake em out so they think they're in a "refuse to elaborate" meme. Make em sweat, and then just when they've reconciled themselves to "Mathildes gonna Mathilde," BAM! Full how-to guide.

Oh god, imagine the absolute deluge of mail we'd get! Mathilde would have to exercise her willpower SO HARD to keep the fakeout up for half a year or so!

...unfortunately, Occam's razor would say that the most likely explanation is that she stole them from somewhere, not that she made them herself. That, and the 6 month turns is a really big gap to try to keep people in anticipation. Maybe we can choose how Mathilde does her presentation?
