[X] Magister Patriarch Algard

Next social turn I'd like to talk with Skretch and Regimald

Also, regarding "it's not interesting to write the same interactions again and again" vs. "we want to be part of our godson's life", I'm hoping that we might get a line or two about how we drop in for a visit and spend the day/a few hours.

Waaaay late, but while I support the option of just letting Qrech lives the rest of his life peacefully, if Mathilde still wants to get information out of him the best option is asking after anti-Dawi Zhar/Hobgoblin tactics. Since it's info that I don't think can be used against the Under-Empire and can still be used against its enemies Qrech probably won't have a problem sharing it.

So for a gambit to do this, something like this perhaps?

"There have been reports of travellers on the road being attacked by Hobgoblins somewhere relatively close by. The dwarfs believe this to be a precursor to an incursion by Dawi Zharr and have asked me to investigate, probably because I'm human and thus expendable. Can you share some things from your time fighting them to help me do my job and not die in the process?
 
A suggestion for future actions:
Translate the dictionary to Bretonnian, Tilean, Elf. Or commission somebody to do it.
We want that as spread as possible.

The Tileans especially would like to have it, since they're constantly fighting Skaven, while the Bretonnians just recently got into a fight with them.

I think just asking him is fine. He's got no loyalty to the Dawi Zharr, hurting them helps his allies (enemy of my enemy and all), and he doesn't know he's paid his stay a dozen times over.

honestly think that we should just let him be

he bound to realize something eventually, i'm not willing to risk it
 
Could even frame it as writing his biography as a Fire/East Dwarf raid-stopper. We derived a lot of tactical knowledge from Fredericks diary, after all.
 
Would we even have to trick Querch into giving us Dawi Zhar insights? He hates Dawi Zhar, just tell him the knowledge will be used against them and I'm pretty sure he would be eager to share.

I'm reasonably sure that the Grey College will do any additional translations needed, after all for a lot of countries it is a major diplomatic boon and generally a good way to screw over the Skaven.

Considering Slann, I imagine instead we'll just open the door to our inner sanctum some day and find a massive solid gold dinosaur statue sitting there, plus a small note saying 'thanks for the book'.

nah, that would require the Slann to do the work themselves.

why do something yourself when you have an army of over zealot, very literal-minded, and surprisingly adorable minions do it for you while you go back to napping.

sending skinks to do a job without supervision has never lead to wacky hijinks before. (kicks the boatload of wacky skinks hijinks under the rug.)

So what you're saying is we need to get ourselves some Skink minions.
 
So, this is touching on a shelved topic, but... regardless of what we used our Transcendental favour on, if it in any way involves "books being copied", we shall have it mandated that ink with metallic filings is used, unless there is a very good reason to not use metallic ink, yes?

Yes.

Also, Johan should build himself a familar asap, presumably one that he can see through, or get someone to read/re-write the skraven books for him in metallic ink. No need to be a Wizard or anything, someone trustworty in K8P who has some time and a steady hand.
