Silly idea, prepare a food offering for the dragon. I mean sure it has plenty of rats and greenskins to eat... but do you think a dragon would be satisfied with such low class (possibly poisoned and diseased) food?

I don't think they'd be told about the Book, but they would get things like our traits and wonder why we have some of them. But things like the First and Second secret will be hidden as a ???.
Not exactly as when Anton does his thing it's usually in a support roll that while awesome isn't a long multi-post series of choices.Isn't this basically what happens all the time with Anton?
Then the Paranoid players begin combing previous posts that Mathilde is involved in or mentions her backstory at which point they begin constructing a conspiracy theory that is simultaneously close to being correct but completely misses the mark.
Then they get Mathilde's perspective, possibly with dropping hints about something that makes the players really interested in some of the ??? on her character sheet.
I think you forgot to account for the practical effects of the Black Hunger where, immediately after they stop fighting, the Skaven will need to ingest about a quarter to half their bodymass in food immediately or starve to death on the spot.
Retreat and negotiation needs a phase where they have both time to eat and lots of bodies to eat. They won't even make it past the Caldera perimeter without a feeding
Its actually easier once we clear out Rhyn, because that changes the frontage from Eight Peaks to Two Gates, One Karak Drazh Underway.
We collapse it down to three fronts, one of which is fully covered by a superweapon.
They just had a break while we were attacking the Trench.

I... I can't decide!

for High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer, clearly, one moment Thorgrim is like "oh I see the latest scion wants to reclaim Eight Peaks again" and the next moment he's like "Belegar did what? How fast? And he got Kragg the Grimm to come? With a wizard? Seven wizards?"

If Yar and Rhyn empty out (Rhyn because we kill them all, Yar because the dragon kills them all and then goes home), a thing a lot of people have been floating is using the ~15 hours before the Waaagh could possibly get here to barricade them, either conventionally or with controlled demolitions to collapse their entrances. This would force more of the Waaagh to fill up the Caldera instead of just flowing into mountains we can't afford to defend, allowing us to catch more in the Eye's crucial first shot.

He did put all the pieces we need into position.
And he managed to wait for years until this perfect opportunity showed up.
This is still his victory in some parts, even if he can't see it right now.

We should introduce the dragon to the concept of banking and compound interest. In simenway that let's us use intrigue and the EIC to get the dragon as an ally instead of...letting it eat more mountains.

The dominant vote at the moment involves us mopping up Rhyn (several dozen trolls spread out in ones and twos over the mountain, should die handily to expert crossbows without casualties) and Zilfin (more likely to be an actual fight, if it turns out there are pockets of resistance the dragon missed, but we have the troops for it).
Of those, I think Zilfin is more time-critical. Don't leave mad scientists in a corner where they have time to prepare and nothing to lose. Just finish the job the dragon started and get out.
How does the saying go? "It was an overnight success, after decades of hard work."

We got in one little fight and Belebro got scared, something something and that's how we became the undisputed Dwarf King of K8P?
No no, he'll be okay.

Rhyn and Zilfin are time sensitive.
Rhyn because once the trolls actually get done eating they'd be a coherent, dangerous foe again(rather than scattered at a WoG concentration of one troll per room(maximum 5 trolls to a room), which ANY of our ranged forces could deal with)
Zilfin...a mad scientist Skaven with nothing to lose can potentially performs all sorts of messy activities, and its better safe than sorry to clean them out.
Yar can probably wait though. The Skaven literally cannot disengage if they wanted, unless they solely disengaged hero units who didn't trigger Black Hunger yet

I mean, isn't a King's greatest victory when his kingdom can win without him?

The problem I have with fortifying around Yar is that in addition to not holding the Dragon, I'm not sure it will hold the Skaven. If somewhere between 50 and 25 thousand rats (after casualties) come out of that mountain like the furriest flash flood since the last time the Winter Wolves had puppies then significant numbers would probably get past us. We just can't kill them fast enough and Dwarves are not one of nature's pursuers.
Technically the greatest victory of a King is the one his army won with him dead on the field.
But we did that once already and I don't think we want to again.

I agree that we should hold off on the skaven-dragon rumble until we get the latest information at least.
but we should definitely hit the other two mountains right now.
This way, we wont have to spend the time doing so later, we ensure that there are no threats to us left in those mountains, and we can begin a survey for fortifying the caldera entrances asap.
At this point, we are "barely involved" with soo much stuff, "barely involved" might be taken as "I totally did all that and is being very smug about it."
Sort of...
Belegar: "...After you repelled Broken Toof orcs that decided to attack your reinforced position with barely a few thousand orcs and no siege weapons..."
Mathilde: "Dunno why they did that. Who tries to siege a fortress with no siege weapons? Did something happen to theirs?"
Belegar: "...You decided to blockade Under-Karagril in such a way to ensure that remaining Skaven are going to stall the Drazh waagh for hours.."
Mathilde: "Well, that's just common sense. Let them fight, as people say."
Belegar "...Then you proceeded to take the Under Kaldera and under-Citadel with minimal losses..."
Mathilde: "It is mostly Kazador's work fault. He looked ready to run off alone if I didn't send him and his army to finally kill something."
Belegar: "Meanwhile, Kvinn-Vyr trolls decided to just... mutually annihilate themself with orcs. For no discernible reason."
Mathilde: "I still wonder about that. They must have been very hungry."
Belegar: "While Skaven and Eshin decided to do the same in Yar, until dragon landed on their heads."
Mathilde: "We talked later; pretty nice for a dragon, actually. A bit lonely, maybe. Asarnil and Deathfang are going to be sooo happy about their new friend!"
Belegar: " And it all started after a campaign of sabotage that provoked Skryre into attacking said dragon."
Mathilde: "Well, actually, I just stole a single gasmask. There was an accident, you see, and I..."
Belegar: "And then you annihilated a million orcs off your tower."
Mathilde: "...Well, you did tell me to build a DOOOM tower. That is just what DOOOM towers do. I tried very hard to make it more useful; still sad Panoramia refused to use it for pest control and agriculture."
Belegar: "Is that all? Do you have anything to add?"
Mathilde: "...It was all an accident?"

Assuming that dragon is not a problem, we will have to control over K8P - it opens possibility of actually facing Drazh waaaagh from behind closed West gate.
There is very little time to prepare, but to be honest, I wonder how risky it is compared to allowing greenskins to actually enter K8P to be burned by the Eye.

We actually know this reason.
The trolls literally had nothing to eat but insects, rocks and each other for the past...2-3 years.
The INSTANT the Mystery moved, they rushed out to get food. And then they found Mhonar had no food so they kept going. Then they attacked a mountain full of orcs and goblins with a thousand trolls, who managed to get close unnoticed because the orcs and goblins were too busy fighting each other...then they ate the orcs, ate the goblins and what the hell, trolls are green too, ate the trolls.
Moral of the story: Trolls with the munchies can be unstoppable
