I would very much prefer if you didn't call anyone a "deranged" shipper. Particularly as I don't care about shipping so much as the existence of LGBT people, as I am one myself.
I don't believe that remark was made in ill-spirit, from what I saw of Veekie over the years. The phrasing could not be any more unfortunate, though.
 
We're getting away with "one main + one gold wizard action" on our main duties this time, but that's partially because we already recruited the Amber wizards out to help in the epilogue. In the future, I expect the comfortable medium is going to be "2 main actions + 1 gold wizard actions", or maybe "1 main + 2 gold wizards" if they're especially suited to the task at hand.
Actually, both Settin Up Labs and Scouting count as job actions.

So we did five job actions this turn, counting Ambers.
 
Gods and Men
Gods and Men

Before Mordheim, City of the Damned, multiple armies battled. Orcs slaughtered daemons, daemons fought men, and men fought orcs, as the Everchosen moved ever south.

"Is there no one worthy? Come you false Gods, come and meet you doom!" he proclaims, cutting down men by the score. The mists are thick, hiding the slaughter, but his horrid voice echoes across the battleground, driving terror into the bones of men. Yet after nearly an hour of battle, after the fields have been watered in the blood of men, the horns sound. They've held. Out of the fogs comes the might of the Empire, charging into the fray. Leading them a star that banishes the fog, golden hammer held high. The Emperor takes to the field and men's hearts sour.

The mad man just laughs. "Come, come you false prophet. Come and learn the truth!" His mount is long dead, but the slaughter goes on. His shouts guide the star to him. The Emperor arrives in a storm of steel and angry flesh, his Knights Griffon with him, but the Everchosen is ready to meet them. Out of the fogs come his Elite, called by the star. Their clash is thunderous, and surely, riding an Imperial Griffon the Emperor cannot fail? Yet again and again, an amulet of Chaos Undivided shines brightly as the Everchosen throws himself into the blows, his faith unbreakable, and the blows are turned away.

Ghal Maraz alone breaches those cursed wards, breaking a pauldron and pulverizing flesh beneath. Yet the price is high. Having thrown himself into the Griffon, the enemy is able to cut deeply. Flesh parts like paper and the noble steed screams, throwing the Emperor in its death throes. He lands roughly, but springs up readily, only to see his enemy smiling at him.

"Come on now. Let's have the proper fight. I'll show you the difference between us two, Emperor of Nothing!" The Enemy blurs forwards and the two clash among the mists. Yet near every blow is turned away, by armor or foul spell and Ghal Maraz is met with fourfold cursed blade, and matched. Blow after blow falls, as the corrupted giant beats the Emperor with shoulder, fist and knee, ignoring his counter strokes, defending only from his Blessed Warhammer.

Amidst the scruff, they lock weapons, the Everchosen smiling, eyes shining with bloodlust, faced with but a man. But a man that cannot, will not surrender. A man that will fight as long as there is fight in him. So focused are they, that the wisp of mist passes unseen until it is right between them. They break, and the foul blade slashes down, leaving blood upon the field. Yet in the moment before it falls there is an outraged scream beyond anything any mortal or mere demon can make. It thunders across the field, silencing all. A hammer of runic force raises itself upon the field, and for a moment out of the mists a giant dwarven hand holding a runic hammer is conjured, before it falls upon the foe. The Everchosen flies across the field, armor shorn and pitted.

Ghal Maraz raises as out of the mists stumbles a woman clad in grey, with a Witch Hunters hat. Her greatsword is shorn in two, and a deep wound burns in her side, yet her eyes are filled with triumph for in her hand is fire. An unending blaze burning away Dhar, and amidst it an eight-pointed star. There is merry laughter in the air, a gamblers mad luck paying out, a thief amidst giants. The sacred nature of the duel, weighted up against a God of lies and thieves. The Everchosen rises in an explosion of violence and outrage, and is met by a simple raised brow:

"You get to fight with all your gods. Seems hardly fair. All I did was level the field. You mostly punched yourself, really." is the irreverent taunt as the Magister's shadow ripples before her, becoming an ever smiling man. The Everchosen screams in outrage, racing to crush she who dares. The charge is met by a resurgent Emperor, and the foul wards are no more, their heart ripped out.

As the titans clash, the shadow is left amidst the roiling chaos of battle, as every Chaos Champion on the field heads for the thief. She licks dry lips, the fogs no bar to her sight. And like a proper thief stuck holding the bag, she flees, summoning a steed from mist and shadow. She takes with her many of their best warriors, on a merry chase around the city, the flames of the star a beacon among the mists. This isn't great for the enemy army. One could even argue she stole them from battle. She certainly does, fleeing for her life, while her God laughs at her predicament.
 
The Chaos, however, most definetely has.

With Chaos, everything is possible.

I mean with chaos i doubt it as well. They're... not the kind to care much about raising a child.

IIRC BoneyM said that the scouting actions don't count as our court wizard job, those are only under the purview of the martial job. A lot of assumptions about the kind of actions we could take and still be counted as doing our job were basically completely wrong.

I was always under the impression that the lack of half elves in Warhammer was more to do with the fact that pretty much no elf would have sex with a human.
 
@BoneyM Is there a way we could get a heads up on which actions count towards our job and which don't? For example adding a flag (like [JOB]) to the voting options?
 
I would very much prefer if you didn't call anyone a "deranged" shipper. Particularly as I don't care about shipping so much as the existence of LGBT people, as I am one myself.

I would appreciate if you didn't make assumptions.
It refers to one specific devotee of returning the dead to life and marrying them in a foursome with our god.

E: Am a fan of yuri myself anyway, but at some point in the process where you require dark magic and violating deeply held beliefs of basically everyone involved its pretty clearly deranged :p.

It pretty much is, High Elves are super racist when it comes to humans and view them as children at best. It's rare to find a high elf that doesn't.
I mean even with dark and wood elves who might do it on a whim elves have a low fertility rate so it's likely nothing would come of it.

And if we go by elves and 40k eldar being similar in 40k atleast eldar need multiple donations of genetic material from the same person for a pregnancy to take place.
So a one time thing from some hedonistic dark elf almost definitely wouldn't do anything.
 
As far as I'm aware, there's enough biological differences between the various races that there's no half-anything.
Throw enough magic at it and it can work, but I somehow doubt it would be needed.

Assuming good roll means succeed greatly at the intended task, Anton manages to figure out who he really loves with Mathilde's subtle assistance to get the greedy and ambitious out of the way, and got a fairytale romance.

This is what we were told before:

As per @BoneyM (tagging so that he can correct me if I am misinterpreting it), actions like Scouting count as doing our job as long as we do some work on the current project.Thus, it's 2 spider actions + scouting skaven. Not sure whether scouting out next Umgi leader counts.
As a rule of thumb:
Did you succeed?
If you didn't, did you spend enough time trying?
If you didn't, did you at least contribute in other ways?
If all three are no you start burning through goodwill.
And if we go by elves and 40k eldar being similar in 40k atleast eldar need multiple donations of genetic material from the same person for a pregnancy to take place.

I don't think that applies here.
