i am reminded of
"... probably"
Oh, that IS a good one... and actually, a cat familiar might be a good way to combat the asp. maybe boost the cat with magic?

Currently, we are voting for giving a report and what options we offer the Count.
The actual actions we do come later.

Those will almost certainly be choices for our actions next turn.
Right now we're reading the results of what we did last turn, and offering options to the count.

I believe this is the 'propose what we do in our report' part, not the 'our actual actions'.
We've already agreed the advisors are a stretch goal, so we should be good on that one.
Tentatively, our six actions might be
-former spymaster- ask Anton(? Naive, won't know much)
-former spymaster- roll out
-something network/lieutenant
-Asp!
-Enchantment? Swords or summat. Or magic training.
-discretionary? So maybe military advisors... unless that will be three actions, given it's one per councillor.

No the magic snake must be our familiar!
See he doesn't want to hurt us that is why he not attacking us he wants to be our friend and familiar

We already have a magic weapon though

We had previously told our boss that taking over the league is not viable until we capture the previous spymaster first. So rather than offering it as its own option, put a note under "find predecessor" that states "leads to being able to take over the league"
Are you sure? I thought we have a mundane sword which we cast a boost spell on (and that said spell would be more effective if used on an a more powerful weapon)

Our sword is just a sword. We can shadowmagic it, but all that does it make it count as Magic, able to hit ghosts and the like. So I'm not sure that stacks with proper magic swords.
But, getting a thousand year old death-magic greatsword is a possible fringe benefit, yes. The Lector already has a badass runesword

On the plus side, before we did that the QM was rolling each turn to see if we catch pneumonia. now he won't do that anymoreOr perhaps you'd like to ask your other good friend, the heavy purse of gold?
Because we spent 20g on buying the shack, but 40g on the furniture, getting a bargain on the latter to boot. That's some expensive furniture.
We LITERALLY just told him it was the vampires last turn, and we LITERALLY just tortured a dude with him together who told us it was the von carsteins.
Stop making write ins that involve explicitly contradicting what we already told him. Or worse, explicitly contradicting information the two of us tortured out of someone together

The strong implication is the former spymaster is involved in the plot. Maybe threatened and fled for his life, maybe complicit, maybe dominated by a vampire... who knows at this point.

I wouldn't get my hopes up that magic swords are too spectacular they could be a simple enchantment like never losing its edge or being slightly harder to break

If that is what he meant then his phrasing is terrible.
fair enough... and likely not wavy greatswords either...
we know enchantments so maybe one day we will get around to enchanting our own swords...
Actually, maybe we should enchant some equipment for that nice champion who is training us

But if we examine them, we get to call Dibs...
Not sure how many greatswords there are tho.

I suspect we'll be getting investigated by the Count this turn, on the grounds of "I trust her too much to allow for any possibility of doubt". Admittedly, I could be reading too much into his paranoia. Also, I am very surprised that we don't have an identified Interrogator trait on his sheet when we just learned it from him.
...I wonder how he'd react to our going "I miscast some magic and now a not-as-illusory-as-I-want snake that lives in mirrors is trying to crawl out of them and strangle me in my sleep, so I need to deal with that and it'll take a bunch of time, sorry"? I'm not sure if he'd find it off-putting (because witch hunter) or reassuring (because we're revealing ourselves as flawed, and he believes all men are flawed and therefore knowing their flaws is necessary before you can think you truly know the person). In any case, I'd be willing to consider bringing it up during our solo report.

Not a fan of the plans currently in play. Nor of the fact nobody's come up with a report yet. I might have to give it a go myself later today.
Points I'd like to see:
An actual report
Action on the previous Intrigue advisor
Action on vampires
Point I don't want to see:
Telling him about meeting the thieves in anything more than the most vague terms
Switching tracks to the Stirlandian League, especially in terms of taking it over -- we've still not fulfilled the conditions for that to be possible
I'm disappointed we went with the criminals and peasants, really. I expect we'll get some blowback from not going in the direction he told us to, ie securing Wurtbad. Yes, yes, the criminals will give us information, but this guy's an Elector-Count and a Witch Hunter, so he's not going to be wanting the security of his city in the hands of thieves.

I would rather enchant our own sword first and it will be good practise for us

[X] [Options] Plan About Time
-[X] The disappearance of your predecessor is very concerning, especially since he's actively trying to sabotage the hunt for him. He must be found, and I've got a lead: Julbach.
--[X] You really want to deal with this. It'd allow you to throughly deal with the Stirlandian League next. Not only that, there are very few people who'd have the ability to move the ledgers discreetly like that. The spymaster is one of them.
-[X] I've got a whole bunch of friends now, but I could always use more!
-[X] The castle staff can be a great source of information and first line of defence - they should report to you.

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea. It'd also help us deflect from the fact that we didn't get a whole lot done on our assigned task this turn.
If he buys it, we might be able to get away with only one As Per Orders action, and we can take a bunch of the non-essential actions we've been wanting to do.
@BoneyM, with our Shadowsteed mastery, would it be possible for use to travel to Altdorf and our college instead of writing letters? We'd be able to do the advisor vetting, magicsnake research, a Letters Home equivalent and get a new spell all in the same trip.

Lies and slander clearly the snake just wants to cuddle with us specifically around our neck but that is just a coincidence!
I mean just look at him is this the face of a strangler

Previous reports: Vampires were probably involved.
My write in: And one of the few people who could have done what was done is this guy.
Not hard.

I was reading bits of Realms of Sorcery, and, quote from the life of a Journeyman section:
"...to travel the world for a period of several years, during which time they are forbidden to return to within fifty leagues of their master or their College building. This period of wandering is known as "journeying," and a Magister's apprentice in this period is known as a Journeyman Wizard."
So, if I read it right, we don't go back until we're ready for the test of Magisterhood. Can't go within 50 leagues of Altdorf.
So, bad. But, gives us a reason to tell van Hal we need to focus on Magisterhood, so we can move freely.
Incidentally, if we do go with this text, we appear to some sort of super-prodigy, (which I think might have been alluded to in the jealously of fellow apprentices?), as:
"No apprentice younger than late-twenties early-thirties has ever been released to become a Journeyman in the recorded history of the Colleges."
Or we were deliberately sent out unprepared and early by those Mysterious Parties Unknown. Either-or.
