Tempting at firing from the dragon throne may be, the dwarves put a lot of work into making it what it is, and having it converted into something else is an insult I'd rather not pay them.

He's an experienced captain from a hotzone, and the Skaven intelligence apparatus is one of the best in the world, he's probably got a pretty good dossier on most major up and comers regardless of point of origin.

Like, the big takeaway from this discussion (And I am super glad sanity broke out and we tested the waters first) is that we need to bring our A-game to this, because this guy does not fuck around.

[Seeking a Punch Trainer - Karaz Ankor: 99]

You put out feelers through your networks among the Colleges and among the Dwarves. You find yourself sorting half-heartedly through a short list of various hoodlums, ruffians and ne'er-do-wells that all enthusiastically made claims you doubted their fists would back up. Then you answer a knock on your foyer door to see what you're almost sure is a Priest of Grungni, except unlike every other Priest of Grungni you've ever seen or heard of, he doesn't possess a pick. "SO," he says. He doesn't seem to be shouting, that's just how his voice is. "YOU WISH TO LEARN TO PUNCH."

You've encountered stranger and you refuse to be put on the back foot. "Not personally, for one of my employees."

"THIS IS GOOD. APPROPRIATE LEADERSHIP. LEAD ME TO YOUR EMPLOYEE."

The possible Priest of Grungni gives Johann a glance and snorts, but after Johann takes his gloves off and reveals his gilded skin, the Priest gives him a longer, much more thoughtful look. "FOLLOW," he finally commands.

You tail along out of curiousity, and watch as the Priest of Grungni pauses, catalogues and ranks every nearby rock formation, and leads Johann towards the least meritorious of the foothills. The Priest slams a bare fist into a rock-face; it is unmoved, but so is the Priest. "NOW YOU."

Johann obeys. The Priests spends some time correcting a number of different things about Johann's posture. A second punch. A pebble bounces down the rock face.

You walk away.

@BoneyM can we be assumed to automatically report intel on the Skaven civil war to the Grey College, or do we need to specify it somehow?
 
Well, that was interesting. And while I'm hopeful that we'll manage to get a lot more out of our Skaven friend, I'd say the insight into just what the hell has been going on with them is enough to justify taking him prisoner all by itself.
 
I really wanna see how Roswita handles all the mages. I sense hilarious times in choosing it.
 
I think, this:

[+] The Wizards of Karak Eight Peaks (locked in)
[ ] King Belegar, to try to get some idea of where he's at with his crisis of faith.
[ ] Oswald Oswaldson, newly-minted Chief Bombardier of the Undumgi
[ ] Roswita, as she rides out the chaos of the influx of Battle Wizards.
[ ] Empress 'Heidi', to be present for the birth of her child
[ ] Princess Edda, on a hunt for weavers across the Empire.

We need a present for the little von Holswig-Schliestein.
 
Skull throne is too awesome to use there, we want it to be SEEN.
We use it in the sitting room where the ducklings get to watch. Bonus if we put it in a shady corner so we can Invisibility our way behind it and Substance of Shadow into it, then open it like we were there the whole time.

Quick run through the socials:

[ ] Princess Edda, on a hunt for weavers across the Empire.

This one would be more useful for letting us broach the topic of the Undumgi tactfully.

[ ] Oswald Oswaldson, newly-minted Chief Bombardier of the Undumgi

Oswald is an artillerist!

[ ] Empress 'Heidi', to be present for the birth of her child

Time sensitive event. Do we want to be present for the birth of the future Emperor? I know I want to


[ ] Francesco Caravello, proud leader of the Undumgi

We hadn't ever talked to him on screen since we gave him the fancy hat have we? Approach Edda's concerns from the other direction.

No options seem to have manifested for Algard, so I guess nothing super compelling on their part?

Still we could do:
[ ] Write In: Belegar Ironhammer, whose crown lies heavy upon his head indeed.

I want to be named that Child's god mother, although that is unlikely.

I am definitely up for using the Deciever next turn. I think we can milk the skaven for a lot of stuff.

Boney's already added an option for Belegar. No need for a write-in

Hmmm. Would these be valid?
[ ] Johann's Dwarf Teacher, on how his order came to follow a different path from other Priests of Grungni
[ ] The Priestess of Esmerelda, on her insights from teaching the We

If the latter seems to give a mechanical advantage, perhaps this:
[ ] The Priestess of Esmerelda, on how she's dealing with teaching giant spiders

I think that setting Max to decrypt the Skaven book next turn is a good idea if we don't have anything else more pressing. Law of Logic + Patient seems like a winning combo and it could be helpful at faking a greater knowledge of Queekish than we know.

As for social actions, I'm commited to Belegar and Edda (Wolf too if he didn't get a scene) and I want Kazador too.
 
[X] Roswita, as she rides out the chaos of the influx of Battle Wizards.
[X] Kasmir, to see if he rejoined the Council of Stirland.
[X] The Amber College, to see how your donation of Lustrian eggs is going.
[X] Anton, to see how his firearm factory is going.
[X] Wilhelmina, to see how she's going when she's not a terrifying financial juggernaut.

I miss the Sylvanian group. Also, I'm really curious about those eggs.

These are a must IMO. That's the future fucking emperor. I want to be his favorite aunt. Also, interacting with Heidi might give us an in for theurgy later. She might let us observe her casting or read us in to the deeper Ranald lore.
 
I think helping Roswita with her Wizard issues and Edda getting along with manlings are the most interesting options.

I get that we won't get mechanical benefits but they seem like things Mathilde would consider important.
