I think you mean worst. She is a thief in a dwaven hold. You can see how this might become a problem, yes? It's one thing if she is good at stealth, but with a greed motive and a thief? For an Amethyst? With us having the Fucking Liber Mortis? This is a problem. Remember that the Amethyst have followed Van Hal for a long time. Who's to say whatever fraction/conspiracy among them suspected they had the Liber Mortis, now suspects Mat for it?

The thing it's the Skaven's problem, not ours. She's not going to steal from her hosts and boss.
There's no alternative but a brief return to the College for Advanced Assassination training next turn!

We do deserve to exist.
Depending on how things go, I'd say either kill him to guarantee he doesn't manage to escape somehow, or send him to the Empire, but probably kill him since the attacks on Under-Nuln and Ubersreik will bring in plenty of Skaven bodies (and likely captives if they're interested.) Ugly, yeah, but as I understand it, part of being a Grey Wizard is doing ugly things like this.

hmm... that new trait...
Don't the Amethysts also swear a vow of poverty?

I don't think so. That's a Grey Wizard thing because their magic makes being thieves who steal for their own profit really easy. Amethysts don't have the same magical loadout.

Hmm... according to the wiki, at least, they do: Joining the order is like a Death.

Damn, journeymanlings gain stats at the drop of a hat.
Gretel is absurd for a Magic 3 Journeyman.

No.
They are among those less interested in material wealth, on the average, but there's nothing explicitly forbidding them from making loads of money and spending it however they want.
Edit: Loosing what they had before entering the Order does not mean aquiring new dosh is forbidden.

That's not the same. They cut ties with their old life, they're not bared from worldly possessions in the future.
Amethysts like a grim fatalistic outlook, which helps with attracting Shyish and spell power.
Its not a requirement, it just happens, like Grey Wizards being enigmatic and Gold Wizards being Beep Boop.

They have to give away all their current possessions when they join, but there doesn't seem to be anything preventing them from gathering more afterwards.

They forget their old life. They aren't barred from getting rich from their new one.

@Abby Normal Do you have our sheet from just before the Expedition!

When you think about it, that's really weird from a 'stats should imitate fluff' perspective, though. They seem to just in general have a lot of points. Stuff that would make them an advisor in Stirland has flavor text along the lines of it not being too good, and Stirland wasn't that bad.
I know that we're actually a piety/learning type, but given that we did head a fairly thorough state run intelligence agency for a few years using actual stealth and memory magic you'd think we'd at least have the edge on the people we mock every time they get screen time.
Like, are they secretly all worthless college students who dump-statted stewardship and piety or something?

Interrogation might be better.
I mean we can still get a lot out of him. Advanced Skaven Tactics/Strategy and Anti-Chaos Dwarf Tactics come to mind immediately.

A couple of things. First, note that Qrech is evil. If we release him, he will continue to do evil. Second, Queekish is not the only valuable thing he knows, and we can learn much about how skaven-kind works from him. But once we extract all of the knowledge, he is still useful as a native speaker who can teach, so we send him to the Grey College for that purpose, so that other Greys can learn how to speak queekish and can extract more information.
Also, the thing about Gretel is we need to wait to see if she developed this trait now, or we discovered she already had it. In addition, when we upgrade security for the tower, it needs to work against falsified entry, as social engineering is very dangerous. This means having certain parts walled off from each other. Ideally, library (being semi-public), Dungeon (having an enemy in it), and our living quarters (being private) should not be accessible from one another except through the entrance, which should be where the security is.

I mean, K8P is rather high risk, high reward. It makes sense that the more talented and confident journeyman would make their way here.

Also more constantly active and violent. Not the sort of place to attract those who want to spend their time studying spellcraft. There's a reason all the ducklings are swordmages.

It's more right to previous wealth, including any heir rights to still alive relatives' fortunes.
Ergo, what came from your previous life? Gone. Anything further on? That's a new life, so it's okay.
