Maybe we should find a elven teacher for the We, I've heard some guy named Teclis has experienced uplifting primitives.
Gods but do I want the prime-We to form an Under-Empire to the dawi, those vast caverns unexplored by Order could become Eight-Pits-Under-Dawi-Friends capitol of Prime-We.
Hm, I wonder if We could eventually eat shrooms derived from Panoramias Ork shroom research. Then we could introduce a meat substitute, cause right now silk comes out at less than 10% of 10% of the Spider caloric intake.

You and I are very far apart on this. My feeling is, the project is 75% done and we've already made incredible progress. Now that I think about it, with two successful document raids this turn we have enough translation materials for another turn without doing any more raids at all. You do recall the comment that Mathilde was carefully rationing the material, right? In fact, honestly we could write the military lexicon and call the project done with that alone. Done at the very lowest stage of acceptability sure, and I'd like to do a little better than that, but still an acceptable result to me and to Belegar.
You appear, incorrectly in my mind, to think the project is in a much lower stage of completion.
Yes to the former, up to Mathilde for the latter. The mist will disperse within a minute or so in open air if you're not constantly adding to it, but it'll linger much longer in contained areas.
Typically four.

How much writing material do we have left, if we don't go on any raids next turn to feed the translations will we run out before the six months are over?
I'd consider that ultimately a failure though, I want to get most of the written language and actually have a good deal of work done on the spoken language.

Yes. You can't exactly stockpile it because you're not yet able to tell in advance what might have information that gives away how old it is, and feeding him stuff going on a year old will undermine the supposed objective.

Because we got "Dämmerlichtreiter" from people noticing our awesome shadow steed all the time, and I am desperately curious what people's response would be to this very different look. Suddenly Mathilde isn't the feared shadow rider, she is the cheery exercise nut who goes on a two hour jog every morning regardless of weather. Except this time we're jogging for several days straight across Every Terrain without stopping. Bonus points if we give a cheery wave to anyone we encounter on the way there, totally ignoring their baffled stares.

Actualy that is entirely dependant of how well we make a item, that is one of the may reason I want to learn to make powerstones since incuding one makes it more likely the end result won't have need to recharge and be able to function all the time.

I know this was forever ago (though only this morning, that's like 30 pages), but I love how we've basically joined Ranald's cult on a meta level by interpreting signs given through dice rolls in an attempt to ascertain His will.

That seems incredibly hard, but giving intangibility without a light vulnerability and decent flight that doesn't interfere with your other spells seems like it'd would make this well worth the AP.
I'm not sure it's even a spell, as opposed to a vampire thingy.
But this is, by a wide margin, the most attractive spell creation suggestions I've heard so far.
A true game-changer for Greys.

Thanks!
I'm certain the library vote is going to be another knock-down drag-out fight (although I've learned my lesson about what the thread will and will not spring for), but I asked my second question because I want to get everyone thinking about this:
This is a very good idea and we should absolutely do it. At only 5 crowns, sending Lord Magister Olenus a firkin of top-quality dwarf ale ("It's not Aqshy, but it burns just fine") as a thank-you seems like a steal. Dude did us an incredible solid by crediting us, and then showed he had a sense of humor about the entire thing by playing along with our naming scheme. He's a class act, and we should repay that with a classy gesture of our own.
So yeah, I want to see all the purchase plans next voting round include a gift for LM Olenus, verified bro.

He didn't just "not screw us over," he played along. It's the difference between "my academic integrity requires me to give credit where credit is due" and "I'll make sure her dumb joke remains intact when I rewrite her spell so everyone can use it." It's not just honest, it's not just charitable, it's downright nice.
5 crowns? Hell yes, get that man the top-shelf stuff that Karak Azul has had aging since before the Articles of Imperial Magic were written.
It was an arcane mark.
/Still funny
To be entirely fair, at least our papers are geographically consistent. We didn't travel to Araby to write a paper on local magical traditions or something, it's all right there next door.
/Still funny
Hey I am wandering what benefit does having arcane mark of ulgu have. The chat moves really fast and I dont know where boneym explained it's purpose. As a lot of people seem to want to have it and from my understanding marks are generally annoying or add flavor.

I squirm a bit at how close a crit actually came to becoming detrimental to us, thankfully what we ended up with isn't too bad a mixed blessing
It's more helpful than detrimental thankfully
Mantle of mist is either inconsequential or beneficial to stealth in most circumstances
We might be able to use it in ways as to appear more intimidating when we want to
Smelling like smoke is avoidable and unless we bath in it should be faint enough that it's only an issue around creatures with a refined sense of smell and enough intelligence to understand why the fact they smelt a faint wisp of smoke even matters, of course we are right next to the Skaven currently, so a bit unfortunate
There shouldn't ever be enough smoke in an area that the smoke itself would be problematic unless we're in the middle of a forest fire or something, of course if we ever are in a situation with a bunch of noxious gases then the mark will magnify the negative effects as it draws in the stuff
We can control it enough that we could turn it into a beneficial resistance to harmful gases by causing them to pool and concentrate away from exposed skin and breathing holes, but that takes concentration

Shrouded and Mark of Ulgu are beneficial
Aspect of Ulgu and Disturbing Eyes are mostly inconsequential
Insubstantial is a trade off of physical ability for stealth, in my opinion it's more detrimental than beneficial
Trickster and Forgettable are potentially devastatingly terrible

On the arcane marks table, upon which Boney rolls entirely random dice, about half of remaining arcane marks have very unpleasant drawbacks, so the thread kind of doesn't look forward to rolling any more.
