I was rereading a bit more and got to the conversation/rant Belegar had with Thorgrim. How is Belegar doing at this point, is he still having a crisis of faith from taking the action we adviced, or has retaking the whole Karak finally lifted weight?

Don't know.

His character sheet still says "Stressed", but the events of the turn haven't finished playing themselves out yet.

If he's still stressed at this point, he's taking it out by punching tables and stabbing walls.

I would hope he's somewhat less stressed - he likely still has the distance from tradition issue, but at least one of the Ancestor Gods is okay with him, and he's now got a full set of bling on his crown and much fewer hostile neighbors to worry about. Of course, who knows what's going to happen diplomatically speaking, so we're anywhere from "suddenly the High King's best friend" to "schism in Karaz Ankor". Although "the High King is happy, this creeps me out" seems more likely than either extreme.

A long, hideously embarrassed silence later as the guards call suspiciously out at the darkness later, a voice speaking surprisingly good Reikspiel calls out. "I pretend that didn't happen and too-too-quiet man-thing does same, yes?"

"Deal," you finally respond, staring into the darkness and trying to figure out why your Magesight insists there's nothing out there.

"Good-good. Man-things never so quiet. You have skill. Have good hunt of the Traitor Clan. May I kill you last."

A skittering in the darkness is your only indication that whatever it was has retreated, and you exhale and try to convince your heart to stop beating so damn fast. The Grey College taught you to never take the best vantage point, because everyone else would; take the second-best instead. It seems Clan Eshin teaches the same.

Rereading the story. It is kind of odd. We used to use mindhole all the time, but ever since we started hanging out with dwarfs it is like we forgot it exists. This seems like it would have been a great time to use it.

I assume it's slightly harder to mindhole an Eshin Assassin than an unsuspecting human noncombatant.

If he saw Mathilde casting, he's got the reaction time to try to gut her.

The whole point of that was to avoid coming to blows with the incredibly sneaky Skaven that she didn't even realize was sitting within a foot of her for, like, half an hour.
 
@BoneyM Hey, Boss. Not sure what happened but something happened at some point to shuffle a lot of posts three pages forward, which means that a few of your old dice-rolling links (where you used the roll function on the forum) are now broken.

Cripes. Thanks for letting me know.

No worries. Did some experimenting and it turns out that it's between 3 to 5 pages.
I reckon the "easiest" way to fix it is to remove the page reference in the url so that instead of, say /page-4572#post-13989231 it's just /post-13989231

Very relieved it's an easy fix, was really not looking forward to having to manually find the new URLs of every single internal link.

While I'm here, personal circumstance update: currently looking like I'll have everything squared away and ready to get back into writing on Monday, though there's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip and all that.

I don't think "hardcure" is a word, even for necromantic reanimation of dead boyfriends.

I like to think of it as a more masculine version of PreCure.

I mean, we are playing as a magical lady.

Hardcare. As in it's hard to still care after all this time.

Yes it is hard to keep living in these dark times without Abel. It is hard to keep caring about the things that seem small and unimportant now that he's gone because they are, compared to him. But we still have to keep fighting, we can't just throw our hands in the air and go with the flow.

Remember what Luke Skywalker said in the Last Jedi: "No one's ever really gone."
And he became a Ghost afterwards, so we know he knew his necromancy.

Yeah, if you're trying to quote the absolute dumpster fire that is the Star Wars sequel trilogy to support your argument, you've already lost.

"No one's ever really gone" is something you write into a script where you're desperately trying to bring back characters that the audience gives a shit about because your dumpster fire of a sequel trilogy has utterly destroyed and squandered everything it inherited.

Pretty sure the "No one's ever really gone" was actually supposed to foreshadow Ben's return to the Light Side (especially since Force Ghosts were a well-known excuse for keeping Star Wars characters around since at least the prequels), but considering how disconnected Rise of Skywalker was from the Last Jedi I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a coincidence.

Either way, doesn't change the fact that the statement is true. With enough power used properly, no one is truly gone for good. Though you might need enough power to cleave a God in two and reweave the universe in your own twisted image, depends on the circumstances involved.
