I'm sure Mathilde is feeling reeeaal kindly towards the Amethyst Order huh
Hey, the worst that can happen is they kill themselves trying to figure out the swords!
I do not agree with the reporting structure of "Third person" plan, it seems like self-incriminating or self-reporting to the college/spy agency for no good reason. The thing about nondescript slogans is its difficulty to disprove and ease to prove. The college will be vetting Mathilde regardless, so there really isn't a need to write much on a paper with unknown destination.
The good reason for self-incriminating is the exam question saying "To the best of your knowledge, assess" and not "Write a job recommendation for". I'm more concerned this isn't self-reporting
enough, and wondering whether I should take Imrix's suggestion to also mention the embezzlement.
I like the third person Report A,except for the part where we talk about our Ranald worship. Who we worship isn't important (besides the Chaos Four), and one of the major tenants of Ranald worship is not talking about Ranald.
Mathilde is a wizard before she is a priest, the Grey College almost certainly has heard about her attempt to push Ranald on the Stirland Watch and will expect this mentioned, and dedication to a god other than Sigmar is a relevant fact that should be mentioned to the College when assessing someone's dedication to Sigmar's Holy Empire.
(Also, it's "tenet", and there's several other forbidden gods beside the Chaos Four.)
@Exmoorri it's probably too late now, but because your vote is titled "[] Third Person Report A" instead of "[] Plan Third Person Report A", the vote tracker doesn't count it as a plan and your vote is by default tallied seperately from everyone else's.
Argh. Here it is again now as plan, for what it's worth:
[X] Plan Third Person Report A
-[X] Evidence suggests that Journeywoman Mathilde Weber has an exceptionally high level of dedication to the Empire foremost. Beyond the ties and duties mandated by the Articles of Magic, there is also her dutiful work in the service of Stirland, the Knighthood that she requested from the Elector Count thereof and received with due affirmation, and upon the death of said Elector Count, both her decision to continue and her thorough execution of his crusade against the vile undead. Weber has also built a good rapport with the Dwarfs, closest allies of the Empire, and shown a willingness to overcome personal prejudices in appealing to the Light College for aid against enemies of the Empire. Her contacts in Altdorf and Stirland provide further motivation for her to wish the continued health of the Empire, above and beyond the the normal ties of a human citizen that would naturally hope to live in a country populated by fellow humans speaking the same language. However, it must be noted that Weber is a worshipper of Ranald rather than Sigmar.
-[X] Weber's dedication to the Grey College is also solidly loyal but not as personally zealous. It took prodding from her Master to get her to return to the College from journeying, but when she did, she demonstrated high aptitude and appetite for learning. Weber also has the gratitude that might be expected of a Wizard towards her College: for tutoring, for safety, for social and legal protection, for credit, for other services provided.
-[X] Weber's dedication to humanity is as high as might reasonably be expected from a wizard of low birth. Despite near execution by paranoid peasants in her childhood, her battles in Sylvania speak of a woman willing to fight for the living against the dead. As with most humans, she is less than entirely self-sufficient and therefore to an extent dependent on the existence of a human society to acquire goods and services.
And then reposting my other votes so they don't get overwritten and lost
[x] Seeking employ as an advisor to an Elector of the Empire.
[x] Seeking adventure in the Zhufbar expeditions into Karak Varn.
(let's not go Full Dwarf in eight peaks yet)
[x] Seeking adventure as a mercenary, ideally with Asarnil the Dragonlord, and possibly build a Mercenary Company of your own.
[x] Seeking knowledge by building a branch campus of the Grey College in Stirland, possibly on your estate.
[x] Seeking knowledge by investigating the phenomena and manifestations of Sylvania.
[x] Enchantment Services (payment in College rep)
