Finishing the spells off seems the most important. Besides finishing our obligation, we will get +1 Magic, which could help in all kinds of things.

We've been given wide authority to build magical towers. And the first fuses magical and divine energies to destroy the enemy. Why not push for the Tower of Fertility?

If we can get runes that give us a heated cupholder and a jacuzzi, we can get runes that play Barry White and scatter rose petals.

Not really helpful for the population as a whole, but it's the thought that counts.

And the double entendres about wanting to climb our tower of fertility, but mostly the thought.

I feel like we should get into another fight and see how our current kit works before buying more guns. We do not need to be killier.

I would like to do queekish, tower, invisibility, we soul next turn.

ranalds shrine can wait one more turn. It has nothing waiting on it.

Waiting on the we soul means we have to wait even longer before we can start writing the book.

Ranald blessed us this turn. The hype in the thread was incredible. I want to honor that really fun couple of hours where we were all losing our shit as a community. Give Max other jobs to do, he does not need to paperslave for us all the time.

What should we do with the last one in that case? See if we can give Edda a crash course in how to Umgi? Get the We's telepathy studied so we can get started writing the book on them?

I'd like to spend an action on the Idol Paper out before it fades even more then it already has and then combo that with getting the Ork Magic Paper done too.

Edit: I forgot, I want the Gambler Temple up, nevermind the paper.

Belegars issue comes from the inherent contradiction of what he's doing
He's decided that the traditions of the past aren't what drive him, but then what does?
If he isn't avenging grudges then he's preserving Dwarf lives right? But if that's the case then why is he leading his people into a war zone, encouraging others of his kind to settle in an area that might not be safe, telling his brother kings to gamble on his success?
Well he's rebuilding 8 Peaks then, restoring it to it's former glory for his people. But at what cost? If it costs the lives of his people and the very traditions that 8 Peaks represents in their hearts then what's the point?

He knows that he's fighting for something, and he has to believe that whatever that may be that it's worth it, but he isn't sure what that actually is
And that weighs heavily on him
At the very least he can tell himself that Karak Azul would not exist as it currently does without him, but that's only a partial salve

It's almost like he has... Divided Loyalties.

Man this update was hilarious, I didn't even vote for Roswita but this was exactly the blend of early Overlord hilarity I was expecting when I saw her trait change and I absolutely love it.

Poor Belebro nor wonder he is stressed, people have pointed out that the solution is to see this as hope for the future but I think they missed how he talked about all the space they have, if all he wanted was to build a future he wouldn't need to fight for a place to do it.

And welcome to the world Mandred, we are going to be you favorite aunt, try not to pay attention to the nagging felling we are contant juging you, you have bigger shoes to fill than you will ever know and I would wish you luck but that is the only thing you got covered be default.

On to the options we realy shouldn't vote to say the tower is completed, sanding the rought edges takes way less time than starting something from scratch, and with how many precomited actions we have next turn we can't afford a new project right now.

Don't think of negatraits as problems to avoid, think of them as trials to overcome!

With a bit of work we can upgrade it to a positive one! And who knows, maybe it'll be like the Sigmar disdain one and be an objective benefit! To Omegahugger
 
I wonder if it's within the realms of possibility for one of the ancestors gods to make an appearance, if so, whether we could do anything to tip those odds a bit... Ranald intercession? Rally the Elector Priests? Dance around the big Gazul rune begging for an interview?
 
Smh. All this talk about spending, but none of you are even considering how sad Mathilde sounds when she says she doesn ´t have the fun kind of dungeon. We should remedy this.
 
I am super against getting another pistol. Getting the previous one already ruined the smol wizard carrying a great sword aesthetic, and I don't want to further slip into the over armed D&D hobo.

Or Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau.
 
So I'd like to raise a bit of a concern regarding little Mandred, it's nothing urgent but... his mother is a spell-casting priest. That is to all intents and purposes a wizard who channels the gods, same three soul mutations make them as make arcane mages. That does not guarantee Mandred will have the ability to channel magic of course, but as the Jade College shows there is a better chance he will with one parent having the talent, so something to look out for and Mathilde is one of the few people who can look out for it since the Empress' nature is secret from everyone including the priesthoods of the other gods and the Colleges.

Disdain for Sigmar is an objective benefit to everyone! Sigmarism is the root cause of at least half of the Empires problems.

I don't think this is right; the categories are racial for enemies but cultural for allies. We have +7 for Empire of Man, which would include Imperial halflings, but +0 for non-Imperial humans, which would be people from Estalia or Araby or Cathay. Halflings are culturally and psychologically much closer to us than such strange foreigners.

Likewise, our books on Ulthuan presumably are completely useless with wood elves.

@BoneyM: If we want to commission an item of clear skies for the tower, would that be a purchase this turn, or an action next turn? And if we cast magic through the hole made by clear skies, would that cause Dhar?

Action, and no.

Did the (40 year old) kid talk to a Barazul? Seems like something Math might have been curious about, given her own experiences.

If he did, it didn't stop him. The inner workings of the local Cult of Grimnir aren't her business.

@BoneyM Does the ease of representing its complex structures through a hologram, and the incredible popularity that an entire new Lesser spell added to the curriculum brings, revitalize the efforts of adapting the Matrix?

Any long-term influence along those lines this might have would be on the scale of years to decades.

@BoneyM if only we could reply to his open question.

Click to shrink...

Why do they need to live in Karak Eight Peaks to have hope? If he spent his entire life and got very lucky he might be able to make his people almost as safe and comfortable as they would have been in Karaz-a-Karak or any of the other ludicrously underpopulated Old Holds. All the things that make Eight Peaks meaningful are tied up in the values he's discarding to conquer it.

Lupercal said:
@BoneyM would "An Examination on the Use and Effects of Mathilde's Mystical Matrix on a Longterm Prisoner" be an approrate topic for a paper? Probably after a bit longer holding Qrech for another turn or two.

She tested for long-term side-effects before she published the first paper, and the use she's putting it to isn't at all novel.

Hmm. Best way to deal with that is probably to enroll him in a Templar order of knights until he is ready to take the throne then. Ain't no rule saying that the Emperor can't be a miracle working lay brother. He just can't be a priest or a wizard.
 
I do love how Algard is like 'You're a credit to the team, keep up the good work' and then just right after Mathilde's College Reputation increases by about a third thanks to the We and our MAPP. I can only assume Ranald heard him and asked Sigmar to hold his beer.

I mean, a spell casting priest as the Emperor isn't necessarily that bad- I think one can definitely argue Magnus the Pious qualified. A Ranald-caster on the throne is a bit problematic in a lot of ways, but a bonafide Wizard as the Imperial Heir? I can't see that going down well at all. For a number of justifiable reasons at minimum let alone the theological and discriminatory issues involved.
