Or if we get worried about it, toss it to the Priests of Morr. It's their job to HANDLE shit like this.

A suitably ominous wizarding paperweight with dribbly, flickering candle on top. Now we just need a stuffed alligator to hang in the lab.
King Arthur
The Once and Future King
In fact, here's what we do. We put a hole in the top of a skull for the candle to go into and stick out of.
This way, if it wants to heal we'd know immediately when the candle is either shoved out or chopped in half.

I think they're building up to doing somthing big, possibly several big things but have effectively been on a several year breather since the start of the quest.
Up next the various electors are going to air greviences and extract concessions from each other at the electors meet, and talk about providing support for a campaign to reclaim a dwarf hold in the south, while in the north Ostermark 'might' be gearing up to blast a canal through the south-east of their province, connecting their northern and southern river trade.
This, plus at least one random and possibly unexpected war would essentially make up an average decade for the empire.

When Business Lunch is available (for free) again, I'd like to spend it with Kasmir to chat about that combo, and what he thinks about it working so well together. If he's receptive, float the whole "Was that the Blessing of Sigmar upon Magic?" idea- it would be huge, especially coming from an obviously devout priest.

Averland's occupied with the remnants of a Waagh that swept in from the mountains a couple of years back. Ostermark, as you know, is occupied with the forests around Mordheim. There's tensions between Middenland and Nordland over some stretch of unoccupied forest or another. Ostland is busy dealing with beastmen spilling over the border from Kislev. There's an Elector's Meet in 2477, some dwarves are trying to take back some hold in the middle of the Badlands and have asked the Empire for aid.
In other words, business as usual.
He keeps himself to himself, but he's taken it as an affirmation that it worked at all, let alone as well as it did.

That sounds positive, this might be a small opening to begin to chip away at Sigmarite distrust of magic? Such a seemingly ringing endorsement from the Champion of Humanity, at least when it comes to smiting the enemies of the Empire.
Worth pursuing.

On the subject of the skull, can we have the symbol of sigmar carved on the inside of the thing? Just as a troll if anyone somehow managed to revive the guy.

Why not carve the symbol of every god of order to be the ultimate troll

Sure why not, we can stick Renalds symbol on the inside then.
I'm tempted to choose something like this:
[ ] Additional: Getting To Know You
-[ ] Kasmir
[ ] Tutoring: Abelhelm van Hal
-[ ] Martial
[ ] The Dwarves have crossed into the Empire and joined up with the Empire forces. Perhaps you could spend some time with the general staff as the two of them start to work together.
Talk to Kasmir for the propaganda benefits, talk to Van Hal for consolidating Martial learning, talk to dwarfs for tunnel fighting trainers.
There are a couple of things I'm not sure about with this plan, though. All three can probably only be taken this turn for the benefits we want, but I'm a little less than half willing to use an extra action to get them all. I would likely cut the Dwarfs to remove the Overwork risk, since we can go through an intermediary later. I'm also not sure the benefit of Abelhelm's instruction outweighs the cost of his time during the Purge; we might want to take training alone instead to avoid the chance of being refused. Any other thoughts?

-[X] Qhaysh Skunkworks: It would take careful study to unlock the secrets of the liquid. It would take considerably less time to find out if it can be made to burn, or explode, or do something militarily useful.

None whatsoever. She didn't manipulate Dhar herself, she didn't cause any to be used or created. All she did was look at it in the course of fighting the enemies of the Empire, and all her experiments afterwards were with Ulgu.

Glad to hear it. I was a little worried, now that we published, that people might start asking how we came up with the Matrix.

Just that training Martial can wait. Usually, we'd get bonuses to a stat training after a full six month turn. We can afford to accumulate more experience with the Dwarves, and probably the Castle assault, before we need to roll to train.
Other thoughts? I'd join plan Train The Watch if I were you.
I agree Kasmir is important, but we can get a similar freebie business lunch post-purge.I am very persuaded that Stirland doesn't need another explosive/incindiary that is only available from a single secret source in very very limited quantities (militarily speaking). We have gunpowder, pitch tar, cannon, and so on. There are probably far better things to use it for than making things go boom, not least Enchantment- see the text about forcing winds into objects?
We might have Liquid Winds. Soaking absorbent objects for fun, profit and Enchantment? Maybe!

i been wondering how useful are the woods to us
as in a few year it be re-infested i would burn it down or at least divide the forest into more manageable blocks
it make it a lot harder for enemies to hid in it and easier to purge in the future
it
like this only the gap is a mile wide[/spoiler]
Mist, Aspect, Mark, Insubstantial, Eyes and Shrouded would have been as bad, only slightly worse, or better
Trickster or Unnatural shadow would have been much worse and forgettable a catastrophe.

Some things I noticed while looking at the vote tally:
-[] The Dwarves have crossed into the Empire...
@Dadarian, @SAGrognard, your votes have the same isssue. They are also very similar to Alliterate's plan, but are counted as different votes because of minor differences in how the vote is phrased.
@Alliterate, the vote tally doesn't recognize the Dwarf vote as part of your plan. There needs to be a - in front of the [ , like this:

Thanks for this, to @Dadarian and @SAGrognard it's all my fault for tinkering around the edges of my plan and adding other trainer ideas.
I've added the dash and moved the Dwarves first, as they just walked into our tent, so it makes narrative sense and also logical- what if we befriend a Dwarf trainer on a Crit?

Nope! You get Bad Things when you cast too good in Warhammer.
