So who wants to bet that Kragg the Grimm would love for us to sketch out these five different runes that we can see with our mage sight?
I don't really expect fortifications to stop the Eshin Sorcerer running, and I'm not confident they'll be great versus the assassins, either. Certainly helpful versus Mors, though.
Look, I like Kragg as much as the next guy, but isn't it kind of irresposible to just share secret runes with an apprentice like that?
Because if they win they leave, and we don't have to bother with them anymore. There;s nothing more for them in Karak Eight Peaks.
I'm also reluctant to get into a game of assassins with Eshin, but I'd very much prefer them not making it out of the Karak alive either.
Those elites will continue to exist whether we fight them now or not. Or the Eshin elites. If we're going to finish reconquering K8P then we'll have to take on those elites at some point.
Mmm.

Probably not, it seems like the elemental is just using a basic lookup table (say, a list of Runelords in residence with casualties crossed off). Kragg's too young to be on the list, so he's just some random dwarf to it.
… That's a good point. The Dragon is confirmed not-hostile, the other Karags are clear aside from the Under-Karagril defense and Kvinn-Wyr, and we've got something like an hour or so before the battle ends. If we could bring down some of our siege weapons and grapecannons, a defense of the Under-Caldera becomes a lot easier. Look how big a concern Mors' one Warp-Lighting Cannon was on the defense.
Well, that's a very pleasing report.
What do you counsel, then?
These are our options. Low-risk targets of opportunity are... probably not super relevant. Hero units are difficult for obvious reasons.
Actually, if that turns out to be the case, I wonder if we could use the theory to stick runes on ranged weapons. This could be the answer to getting that runed sniper rifle.
Wait, where di the Azul throng go after they pulled back from Ziflin?
So, all of those men and weapons in dug in positions vs. a nearly obliterated force of Skaven that are exhausted and on the tail end of the Black Hunger.
This likely isn't all of Mors though. All under 8 Peaks yes, but the lone survivors of the entire clan, I really much doubt.
I actually would be in favor of hitting low-risk targets of opportunity. That might let the Mors' mooks cascade up to swarming the elites, and if Eshin starts running out of mooks, they might go for an All Or Nothing strike against Sleek, which means the Heroes and Lords will tear each other apart.
