No, I liked it. Oswald's cat should have been around when it was said, though.

Hey, did we ever break 400 voters in a single vote, or is 393 from Necro College Loot the highest we ever got?

That's the highest, I think.
Hello, new reader here who has been going through 19 chapters of the story so far. I just want to say thank you for voting to read the Liber Motis instead of taking a boring option. I can't wait to see what happens.

Can you start by explaining who or what that is? (And, if possible, where it's from)
Edit: Ah, Belegar's canon wife.
Well, she probably exists, but Belegar is unmarried and hates Thorgrim, so I can't see him marrying Thorgrim's sister.

Eh, I don't think Belegar is one to extend his grudges towards people who are just related to it. So if Vala Kemma turns out to be nice and reasonable, it could still happen.
By far not the most unlikely ship seen in this Quest.

Granted absolutely none of them have to do with the Liber Mortis.
No, that's clearly Alucard and the dragon.

I feel like she might take issue with Belegar believing Thorgrim has betrayed the Ancestor Gods.

Is it too late?
More familiar with Anton and always preferred sweet types over the moody, dark, politically damaging, and/or weird types.

So out of curiosity, How long do people think we can squeeze papers out of K8P? as I remember that boney said at some point that everywhere we go will eventually run out so that we will have to go looking for stuff to meet our quota.
looking at the papers we have...
Orc: we are nearly out, only two papers left from the expedition. (two papers)
Skaven: not many papers after the books are finished but so many artefacts, and will take a while to get through them at this pace. I really think it would be a good idea to get Johnna to train up Adela so that she can help soon. (I do wonder what we can do with the Preserved bodies without bringing in a specialist tho. (soooo many papers. 13 at least for every artefact)
Coin: This is would be a great research topic and will take a long time, but its not something we can write a paper on. ( cant send in results to college unless we want to start something with the conservatives.)
AV: starting it, I think we have at least a paper on using it for enchantments, AV itself, and hoping for a paper on power stones, might not be allowed to write a paper about the rune stuff. (3 papers at least?)
going at the current pace (1-2 papers a vote.) 18-9... that's 5-9 in-game years of papers at the minimum.

Depends on how ethical we intend to keep our studies.
On the low end of improper, there are still plenty of Skaven secrets to wriggle out of Qrech. If we go one step further, we could sneak also a peak at many a dwarven secret and figure out how they work magically (without permission).
And of course: Oh the revelations on the mechanics of necromancy we could discover if we took a swan dive~

Probably evil, unfortunately.

I don't think we could really turn dwarf secrets or necromancy into papers, though. At least not so long as we want our head to remain attached to our neck.
oh, but I'm not talking about research, I'm talking about papers we can send in to prove we are keeping busy.

I mean, we could publish the dwarf secrets anynomously like we already have other subjects, then there's a theoretical chance we'll keep our head.
Similarly, if we research necromancy hard enough to be able to write papers on it, there's a theoretical chance our head to keep working even once it gets separated from our body. We could be Belegar's Head Researcher!

Honestly, in the position we are in, i don't think we really need to prove we are busy. We are doing the forces of order a great service with just doing the normal duties of a Loremaster.

We are performing a very important diplomatic function assisting the Empire's oldest allies while bolstering the defenses of a fortress that significantly changes the geopolitics of the world and provides certain rare goods that will benefit the empire. As long as we do not get embroiled in a civil war (a real possibility), no one will tell us to go elsewhere even if papers dry up, because our mere positioning is a valuale tool for humanity to maintain. Worse case scenario is just that we won't have any favor left to spend, but even that is less probale than just having less favour to spend.

Fairly obvious who's writing the papers if a paper on Dwarf secrets comes out after we are known to be living and working with Dwarfs...

Yeah, Hubert really betrayed the trust the Dawi put in him.

So, out of curiosity, what is the usual process by which the research we do is turned into advantage for the empire and it's allies? There's kinda the feeling that the papers we write and the knowledge we rediscover is looked at, approved, and added to the libraries for future reference.
Except we know that the libraries are not real secure- the bit about how many times they've been burned over when Mathilde was looking at the dwarf grudges drive that home. So it seems like there is a half-life to knowledge in this world; advancement isn't possible long-term because the foundations keep getting burned.
So I guess what id be more interested in than trying to move to a new place and milk more research out would be a plan to leverage the research we've done into immediate uses. Rather than waiting for someone else to do the same and potentially losing it in the meantime.
Like, the vampire paper in time for the Sylvania battlemage campaign. Or the way we've been making an effort to show the ducklings how we mess with Waaagh firsthand. More like that please!
Especially once we understand waystones enough. That's the infrastructure that would let us really build large-scale benefits for allies.

So basically you want to build, instead of research. I could get behind that.
There's a reason asking the Dawi of K8P to build, maintain, and defend a Grand Library is such an attractive boon, yes.
