Hasn't boney said in the past that bound spell items' total reliability doesn't extend to battle spells?

This puts us at 4 revolvers, which is the max. Revolvers are a great way to clear out large quantities of crap troops without getting bogged down by them. Also, having loads of pistols is always awesome.f

@BoneyM I forgot to mention, the Ducklings' part of the update was very wholesome, and definitely a step in the right direction when it comes to the participation of the other wizards during it.

Genuine, non-rhetorical lore question: have dragons ever caused the fall of a Karak before? I genuinely don't know, not being familiar with the history. Smaug was Public Dwarfemy #1 in Middle-Earth, but I don't know if he has parallels in Warhammer.

Click to shrink...

Not really. Closest a dragon ever came to being responsible for the fall of a Karak is when Graug the Terrible chased of the orcs/goblins/skaven that were responsible for the fall of Karak Azgal. Afterward, he found the hidden treasure chamber and drove off any dwarven reclaimers until he was eventually killed by Skalf Dragonslayer. Other than that, I can't think of a single hold that was destroyed by a dragon.

-Francesco's quite likable, and I am really liking what I am seeing so far. I would be happy to dedicate socials to him in the future, even if we decide not to pursue him romantically.

I would like to make the rounds on the humans in the peaks before deciding who to dump all our actions on.

One to gain a global Intrigue asset against the Skaven, one to investigate the single most suspicious thing in that scouting report, one to get a handle on how our rat stalemate is likely to go in the next few years, and one to find a solution to the figurative elephant in the room. Looking good, I'm not super excited about putting the Vitae up there, I wanted it to be Mathilde's thing only, plus I want to understand it more before we start looking around for Runic help. After we're done with Qrech there shouldn't be any more obstacles to digging into it again, unless we find another person in danger from vampires.

I still think we need more tower defenses, but probably not immediately given all the other fires to put out.

Considering how close a Burning Vengeance item came to success in the purchase vote a few turns ago, why is it getting no backing now, even as Skaven politics is getting on the project list?

Good ol' warhammer worldbuilding consistency. XD

What about high elves?

Click to shrink...

Mortal, but very long-lived (high hundreds to low thousands). 4e RPG says "thousand years or more". They do age (Bel-Hathor ruled for something like 600 years and died from old age), but Dark Elves have sacrifice-based rituals of immortality and eternal youth. Malekith, Morathi and Hellebron are all extremely old (Malekith is about 7000, Morathi is his mother and Hellebron is often spoken in the same sentence as her, so it's likely that she is a contemporary). Morathi still looks young thanks to Cauldron of Blood, Hellebron is alive due to it, but Morathi didn't share "eternal youth" part with her and thus Hellebron is old and ugly most of the time (she is only temporary de-aged by sacrifices).

Thunder Mountain was stated as falling to a Dragon in at least the 4th edition army book.

You forget Battle Magic is 100% fluff, 0% crunch for Divided Loyalties.

Click to shrink...

Not realy otherwise Mathield wouldn't have tabletop stats, crunch influence things even if fluff gets the Lions share.
But fair enough, not like you are helping your case any, crunch wise one could say the dragon is likely to come uncated due to potential to roll sixes, but fluff wise it is almost guaranted, because for all the fire that spell produces nothing indicates it would be focused enought, hot enought to hurt an emperor dragon of all things, remenber the reason Dragomas is Supreme Patriarch right now is because becoming a Dragon trumped everything the other contestants had, and the spell he used doesn't even get to Emperor Tier in the first place. Dragons are one the BIGGEST deals fluffwise.

All three of them came really close to fifth place this past turn. I think we can get a couple into the next social turn if we try hard and believe in ourselves.
