Even aside from our existing mountain of dosh, developing a reputation for generosity on our looting expeditions is a good incentive for people to accompany us on more of them.
I salute your bravery, but I've been playing quests for too many years to think that you shouldn't vote strategically.

By technicality, we did demonstrate a Battle Magic in front of him. That the Seed isn't technically our casting is academic and that we're apparently able to use more than one Lore fits within his understanding of Skaven Magic users as far as I understand it.

You missed a bracket here, whitout it the vote won't be counted.
Could you elaborate ? Since when do we need goodwill, or even companions for that matter when loting ?
Is a weird paradox, because what is the point of more people acompaining us when looting if that only reduces the amount of loot we get ?
Guile
Having a really great time right now
Yes, but we have no idea how valuable the garnets are; we have confirmation from the GM that they may be worth less than regular garnets due to their oddity.
Gold is gold.
Because we want to keep a stockpile in case of emergency. More gold = people being more free with their gold = more books = more power.
.... that doesn't make sense, the vote is 'Claim and Research' not 'Claim and Wear/use as material'.
the whole point of research actions is recreation, it doesn't matter if two people know how to recreate it if one of those people is us.
if we know how to make it, we can make 20 if we want.
the only advantage to full ownership is the paper bragging rights and solo CF.

What sort of emergency are you picturing that requires 2000 gold immediately with no time for looting? And how does that differ from one that requires 4000 gold immediately with no time for looting?
Because from my point of view I don't think there's a level of stockpile that will satisfy the desire to stockpile and leave everything else as spendable, so I'm not all that interested in more stockpile.

I think realistically we should hold off on the sabbatical until K8P is fully taken. This is still an active warzone with enemies all around us and all manner of perils that Mathilde is uniquely suited to deal with.

This guy was locked in a war of "experiment-subject-retrieval" with Chaos-Dwarves for years, I would not take that as a given.

It depends, in every edition and side material other then the RPG 2nd edition book Children of the Horned Rat warlock engineers are full spell casters capable of using the Lore of Ruin at a battlemagic and magic level 1-2. In the rpg they depowered them for...reasons? BoneyM uses 2nd edition rpg as the main source but doesn't seem to limit himself and it would be foolish to underestimate Skyre because of that.

@BoneyM is this something Mathilde could eventually write a paper on? Magical architecture, the winds and divine dawi, etc.

Another hat thrown into the ring for the "Qrech is actually a victim of the 13th Spell."
Qrech is actually a former Chaos Dwarf.
The influx of East-Dwarf coin, materials, and personnel shows that the Skaven have definitely been doing raids into Chaos Dwarf areas, and Qrech has demonstrated himself as competent in what is an unconventional position for Skaven.
Defense.
I've been informed that, per canon, the Skaven don't have any outposts or whatnot in East-Dwarf territory. That's not the case here which suggests that this is a relatively new expansion, possibly only a decade old. If that's the case, a Grey Seer being the backer for the expedition is reasonable enough, and if they decided that there wasn't enough progress being made then kidnapping an East-Dwarf for information to help break open the front would be effective if successful.
And a cooperative informant is generally better at providing information.
The 13th Spell takes hold, the Grey Seer interogates the newly named Qrech on their "history" and then Qrech gets sent off as a favor to help deal with some Dwarf nonsense far away from the Grey Seer.
Qrech ends up underneath his new "Boss" and gives his honest personal advice for dealing with Dwarves in an entrenched and reinforced position.
"Don't."
No clever tricks, no attempts to go around the front lines, just an enthusiastic encouragement to not be an idiot and attack them. Keep on target (Traitor-Clan Mors) and settle the Grudge.
Granted, he was counter-infiltration not counter-attack, which would have maybe had those clever tricks which may or may not have worked, so it's possible that he was just a bureaucratic mixup.
But if this wasn't, then we might have an opportunity to get some deep East-Dwarf intel after we secure our primary objectives.
And who knows?
What better joke for Ranald to play than to steal a worshipper from not one god but two?

We've sometimes been at loss for a good use of a Duckling action.
Well, joint (as in directing and supervising Gretel via the Duckling action) research into the Gem: That's an opportunity that fell into our laps.
Other than that, we should be fair. So I like this plan.

Luckily we have a half-yearly budget exactly for that sort of thing.

I definitely saw some people float this possibility, but this is the first take on it with a convincing hypothesis of how and why this happened and he wound up where he did. Good post.
Be advised that Plan Even Split is identical to Plan gemkeeping, which was proposed first and currently has more votes.
Probably it would come out of our library budget.
The problem is that King-Bro is thinking about slowing down, so 'fully retaken might be awhile.
Maybe a point where 'we aren't doing much for the next 4 years might work.

Maybe, but compare the size difference between a mortar barrel and a hell pit abomination. Now compare the size difference between a shotgun barrel and a human. A mortar with grapeshot would still be hella effective against Moulder's bigger stuff.
Hell no, our backlog is massive and we'd get college favour for sending it to them.

[X] PET: A pet rat, of course.
[X] BOOK: Rarer Dwarven books on the Ogre Kingdoms.
Incidentally, the concern here is not that the books will give the Skaven an advantage against ogres (though that can also be an issue). It's that the Dwarven perspective on ogres can give the Skaven an advantage against Dwarves. The books might contain things like Dwaven tactics against monstrous infantry, for example.
