Chamon wouldn't tell us what sort of metal it was, to the best of my knowledge.
Could be silver, it could be gromril or something more exotic.
Golden implies we can see color.

So either our Windsage has improved even further, or we are seeing visible light.
Or the GM made a typo.

Magesight is seeing the winds in colors, and Chamon is the yellow wind of metal. While it could be other metals, gold is the best intersection between wealth and practicality: valuable enough to be ostentatious but not better suited to be in weapons.

Some thoughts: how do we want to handle Eshin if it turns out that Mors's awful rolls and the dragon's merely OK one means that their other heroes are in position to get away clean?

Honestly, if we kill the Council Agent I don't really care about Eshin's remaining elites, and if we don't kill the Agent there's a fair chance we'll no longer have a choice on the issue one way or another.

Because with the Agent dead, all the council has to go on is the he said/she said from the various involved clans, which, well.

Moulder: Eshin assassinated our boss!
Skryre: Eshin murdered our boss, raided our ouposts, and blew up our gas refinery, bringing the dragon down on all our heads!
Eshin: We killed off Mors, no help from the rest of these idiots. By the way, the dwarves are being lead by a man-thing wizard, whose magic is totally different from what our sorcerers use, really!

It looks like Eshin doesn't feel like putting in the effort for a proper lie, is what it looks like.

And sure, the Council will want more information on K8P after that report, for any number of reasons - but who are they going to give the job to, Eshin?

Anyway, voting.

[X] Both must die.
- [X] Let the Sorcerer's attack play out, then finish off whoever survives.

[X] The Council Agent must die.
- [X] Let the Sorcerer try, and finish the job if he fails.

So, uh, why are people debating over the color of the thread on the robes being metal? Last I checked, using metal as a thread is like, really hard and uncommon. It makes no sense for that to be metal. It's just thread colored gold.

While I don't know much about the Lore of Stealth, I find that there exists a vast disparity of power between the Lore of Stealth and the Lore of Necromancy. Which I find a bit peculiar given that my understanding from this quest and what I can find is that the Lore of Stealth mixes Ulgu and Dhar similar to how the Lore of Necromancy mixes Shyish and Dhar. I understand that Shyish just seems more potent than Ulgu (with the downside of being much more noticeable) but I just don't understand how both lores which seem to mix Dhar with a wind can have such drastic disparities between their power. Or is the Lore of Stealth just Ulgu with some Dhar mixed in while Lore of Necromancy is using Shyish to control and manipulate Dhar?

In the roleplaying books, non-battlemqgic necromancy is no better than non-battlemagic Lore of Stealth, and is arguably worse, as Lore of Stealth Skitterleap is just that good. In the roleplay game, where Lore of Stealth comes from, regular necromancers have no more access to battle magic than apprentices, journeymen and Magisters from the Colleges or Eshin Sorcerers or Master Sorcerers, i.e. absolutely none.

What sets Necromancy apart is that there's much more material published for it in Night's Dark Masters, multiple rituals and many more spells, while we only get a glimpse of the Lore of Stealth.

He's basically an agent of the Evil Empire's Evil Elector Counts. I bought that it was actual gold without a second thought, because that sounds like the sort of thing that people who use warpstone as drugs would wear as an emblem. Plus, it being hard to make helps cut down on counterfeits, presumably.
 
@Abhorsen

At this stage, I think we need a plan for the stuff we need to make for our plans...

An Enchanting Plan: all the stuff we need to make for our other plans.
PREREQ: better enchantment?, Black Gem?
PLAN: There are enough different plans that need enchanted items that creating a plan to create them all is worthwhile.
Staff
Power-stone (basic, practice for snek juice plan)
Wards for K8P
Saving Ward for self
An enchanted item for scent?
More?
TIME: ? turns
COST: gold for materials, college favours,
PAYOFF: the stuff we created, moving forward in our study.

Using metal as thread is really hard, but goldwork is a real thing, in part because gold (and silver, and to a lesser extent copper) is a lot softer and more supple than other metals.

I'm pretty sure this is why Mathilde is calling it gold thread despite not being able to see well at the moment.

Process of elimination - there's only so many shiny metals that thread might be made of in the first place, and this is a high muckety-muck.

Bok means "shit" in Turkish.

So I can't shake the feeling the elemental is constantly cursing. :V

Strictly speaking, "bok" in khazalid means "the act of hitting your head from above" and is used as an exclamation to express the same emotions- like stubbing your toe and saying "ow fuck"
So really, it is constantly cursing

Bokskrund is too precious a cinnamon roll to be outright cursing all the time. That would be too unrefined, it is clearly too much of a gentledwarf elemental.
It will be instead saying it cutely and innocently. Like "ah, fudge it", or "ow, shugar."

If you play as chaos warriors, instead of the archaon invasion in the end game you get a cutscenes where the old man calls you an idiot and mutates into the changer of ways Sarthorael the Ever Watcher (who in non chaos play is just another Archaon Invasion Lord like kholek and sigvald), and forms an enemy chaos faction for you to fight
