Or maybe they're having her choose not to ignore her oldest friends as opposed to people she sees nearly every day.

This is certainly a factor for me; with the council and everyone else at K8P, there's a sense that we spend enough time around them just on a day to day basis to maintain whatever relationship we have with them without explicit social actions. For our friends back in Stirland, on the other hand, there's a real feeling that we might lose contact if we don't visit them every now and then.

We've socialized Kragg every time. We skipped Belegar twice; once in a regular turn and once in the mini-social-turn interlude during the battle.

I'd only count that as skipping Belegar once, and we picked Gunnars and Kragg instead on the mini-turn anyway (both of whom are obviously dwarves), so close enough.

Niter factory options are sadly not available to us at the moment.

The additional handgun factory options (through purchase turns) are available, but I doubt the thread will be willing to go for it again, at least for the next couple of turns.

Niter Factory was folded into the EIC, no?

Shouldn't take long for Wilehlmina or Anton to point out the new guns would do even better with some quality powder.

The resulting weapons are no less prone to fouling or resistant to battering, but you suppose to a Dwarven point of view, it's the fault of the Umgi for using substandard powder and not treating their weapons with sufficient care.

As others have mentioned, maybe the Niter factory could be expanded to supply Stirland.

IIRC they were producing so much that they were accumulating stockpiles, at least back when Belegar was looking to equip his hand gunners from Zhufbar.

That has to be pretty gratifying for Mathilde. "Gosh, they think what I'm doing is that interesting? It's just my job, you know?

Yes, as far as I can see there's nothing in the articles that state that familiars aren't allowed to practice Necromancy of their own volition!

Granted, there's nothing preventing other magisters from executing familiars on suspicion of being necromancers and we'll have to use the Coin to convince anyone we aren't the source of Wolf's knowledge, but strictly speaking it possibly wouldn't be illegal!

Legally, the familiar is part of the magister, IIRC.

Even if the familiar were a separate legal person, though, it wouldn't help. The Articles exist in large part to protect Magisters of the Colleges. (Article 4.) Everyone who's not a Magister is forbidden to practice (arcane) magic by default. (Article 3.) That includes being forbidden to practice Necromancy. So the "Wolf isn't a Magister" excuse only gets you "Wolf is a rogue magic-user".

This sounds like an incredibly interesting noodle incident. I suppose they could have demonstrated loyalty in their own separate ways... or they got caught up in a stereotypical fantasy novel adventure.

The danger of necromancy is that even those with very little power can utilize it to terrible effect. So yes, Wolf could theoretically become a necromancer.

Interesting. Could Wolf use a staff to get a +1 to magic? :drevil:

Well, for starters, it's the 'god' that the Ogres worship, associated with an all-consuming hunger that can never be satisfied.

It also might be a literal hole in Mallus caused by a comet or something. (The Ogres were encroaching on Cathay and eating people, and Cathay responded with a meteor or something that devastated their lands, forced them to migrate to the Mountains of Mourne, and possibly created the Great Maw?)

That's the Cathayan version of events. Their mages could just be taking credit for a coincidence.

We had a lot of conversation recently about the EIC and how we want to engage with it going forward. I think that's got her on voters' minds and so people want to check in on her, since we last saw her at the sword presentation ceremony and, before then, after the Expedition first succeeded.

I'm not super invested in her, but I don't mind checking in every now and then.

[X] Hubert, have a talk to him about the Masterpieces and how its not about what it 'should' be, but making it what you 'want' it to be.
