1. I just want to say there is no one to get revenge on, he died due to a string of bad luck, not a arch enemy or a plot.
2. The vampires or 4th wave can't be blame, as the vampires are just defending themselves and even then, it was the dice and luck that ultimately kill Val, the 4th got a nat 1.
3. Instead of unjustified and pointless revenge, why not aim for something better, a way to end the war with less bloodshed, liberating the people from being food for the vampires.
4. Why not give the vampires and necromancers a chance to surrender, if they disarm their armies, stop practicing necromancy, stop killing people for blood, live in quarantined areas, with their magic sealed. A safer way for blood to be given to vampires. Its good to try to make the world a better place, instead of relying on genocide or ethnic cleansing.
5. Let Mathilda do something good and heroic like stop persecution of wizards, witches, improved living conditions of people, raising Van Hal's children, improved the barbaric justice system with less death penalties, improved the life of peasants take a step towards vampire coexistence with any sane nonevil vampires and other worthwhile activities. Maybe the woman who claimed to be a vampire could help or be a step in the right direction.
6. Avoid the he who fights monsters trap, especially if Mathilda wants to kill someone, just to vent her frustrations like some voters want to do, when ist been shown, it's no ones fault among allies and enemies but the dice rolls. Van chose too invade, the vampire defended their areas, even then it was bad luck that killed him.

Wait until we reinvesigate Anton.

[X] The vacuum must be filled. Step forward and take command. Fulfil Van Hal's final legacy in the manner that it begun.
[X] Do nothing with it; your role is to safeguard it.
I'm really looking forward to studying the book, just not in our current condition.
I still like the idea of inventing a new subschool of magic by using Dhar through Ulgo.
Madness would propably still be inevitable, but directed and contained for a time.
That obviously won't win any votes though, so at least I want to learn all the little tricks to undo Necromancy and disintegrate undead.

I'm thinking that this spell is an interesting idea, but Mathilde shouldn't be the one doing it - how terrible an idea would it be to go to the Amethyst Patriarch for this? Heck, that might have been one of the hopes that drew the man here.

I'd rather not give the Holy Grail of tempting spellbooks to a man we haven't investigated to Nippon and back. If we ever do consider doing something like that I want us to have a dozen agents and witch hunters with guns pointed at him at all times, because the damage that could be caused by him getting corrupted is potentially astronomical.

Grab parchment, transcribe the Spell of Unmaking, hand only that to the Patriarch?

I don't think it's that simple and we can't let anyone know we have the book until we are 100% sure they are trustworthy.
And even then, maybe not.

We might not be trustworthy with the book.

Oh most certainly, the only reason we were told about it was because he trusted us and was on his deathbed.
Oh I'm well aware. After this campaign I am going to propose we ride for the capital and give the book the to Emporer personally.
...please be joking. The Emperor is even more volatile an option. The book is going nowhere and revealed to no one until we have personal knowledge and confidence in said person.
This thing is deadly in an organization with the temptation to use it.
Its best defense really is anonmity

I know, I am just in a paranoia frenzy at the moment. Mostly because our mysterious backers have shown an interesting in the undead and there is no way in the warp that they won't want to get their hands on the book if they get even a whiff of us possessing it....actually there is one group that I think we can trust to safeguard the book and never use it, the Dwarves.

Mmmm. They wouldn't use it, no. But... their hold is under attack by Skaven- sorry, Beast Men. What would the Ratmen make of the masterwork of the man who halted their invasion 1300 years ago? The Liber Mortis in the paws of a Grey Seer?
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

It is kinda scary that my first thought is "can't be any worse".

There is a Skaven Clan that has been dabbling in Necromancy, if they get it that is indeed a "It gets worse" moment.

Assuming only one person is appointed regent to the next count (and assuming it is a Van Hal), it would probably be a good idea to let Anton or Wilhelmina take the role. As much prestige as we have, there's going to be people who mistrust us for the power we already have, let alone what happens if we become regent.
Plus we do better work in the background, whereas we'll be even more action strapped as regent.
Also, it looks like Boney's dice have a quirk, in that they pick one character to utterly dump on, then switch to a new one after the old one is rendered inconsequential/an indeterminate amount of time. First there was the Mirror snake, these past two updates it was Van Hal.
Either that or Anton is in fact related to Inquisitor Bane from the All Guardsmen Party.

Anton was already made designated regent for just this eventuality. It's done. He'd have the inside track if you mean after succession to Van Hal's eldest, but I'd agree, we'd be better in the background.

You're mixing up your Watsonian and Doylist reasoning.
WE know that it's the dice fucking us. WEBER knows that the Countess had a secret plot and the army, Kasmir, Markus and everyone else failed her.

I mean, Skaven already have neigh unstoppable amount of ratpower to throw at a problem; so unless that book can unify them i don't think it gives that much power compared to all the warp-stone related shenanigans.
