Cool cool. Hmm. Wonder if it's worth getting a blessing on the weapon box, before we travel? Can't hurt...

I don't really understand why no one wants to pass the buck by allowing these weapons to be examined by the Emerald Mages or the Knights of Morr.
Unless we can have them thoroughly examined by competent institutions, we're effectively gambling with a pile of weapons which could be cursed, making them practically useless to us anyway.
Why not hand them over to say, the Knights of Morr, they find out which ones need to be destroyed/entombed, and which ones we can use. Split the non-cursed ones, and save an action.
We make a gesture of trust and reliance on arguably the most stalwart defender of Stirland, we save an action, and we avoid all risk altogether. Not to mention have the cursed ones disposed/guarded by someone who is most certainly not us.

We don't NEED one, but we probably want a dedicated laboratory in our base. It's just not a very high priority while we're engaged in the busywork of trying to do 10 years of intelligence networking in 3.
Already brought up:
-Knights of Morr - They will simply seal the whole lot away, because they're grave goods and thus should stay properly buried.
-Amethyst Order - The risk is threefold
--The weapons can be waylaid and stolen in transit unless we spend an action escorting them all the way to Altdorf
--The Amethyst Order will almost certainly get a fully accurate assessment, however, due to this they are almost certainly going to claim the best of the lot for personal assessment. Word of God is that out of this batch of 50 weapons, we will get back between 5 to 40 of them if we do this, assuming they aren't tainted.
--The weapons can be waylaid and stolen on the way back.
I made my case for the Amethyst order before, but its clear nobody else agrees(or at least, 3 people aren't going to outvote 10 any time soon) that losing some magic weapons is less important than making sure all of them are on the level.

Also, IIRC our count has asked us to look at them, not hand them over a potential treasure trove for Stirland to another order. If we still have doubts after looking ourselves, then sure, gets the Knights or whoever in.

Me: goes to bed as Boney is writing, figuring I'll read the update in the morning
Thread: Has update and seven more pages by then
Me: Wants to write new vote, also wants to write
But first I must dissent:
But if you're Pagan or Tribal, you're free to concubine your spymaster (concubine is a verb now) at no penalty, or as a Muslim ruler, take your spymaster as a secondary wife, because it's only the primary wife's attributes that figure into national attributes.
Thread: Has update and seven more pages by then
Me: Wants to write new vote, also wants to write
But first I must dissent:
National attributes in CK2 are calculated as (Ruler's skill + advisor's skill + 1/2 spouse's skill), but if you marry one of your advisors, you only get their skill once, not once and a half. So no marrying your spymaster, that effectively reduces your Intrigue!
But if you're Pagan or Tribal, you're free to concubine your spymaster (concubine is a verb now) at no penalty, or as a Muslim ruler, take your spymaster as a secondary wife, because it's only the primary wife's attributes that figure into national attributes.

Man, I really wish we'd had time to fit in Undead Lore somewhere. But three actions of spy network and three actions of clearing one-offs (Marshal, Asp, barrow-weapons) is good too, and things don't seem urgent enough for overwork at present.

-[X] PREDECESSOR LOYALTY: Their self-serving nature and incompetence only gave the Von Carsteins an opportunity.
--[X] Reasoning: The previous history of Stirland's rulers was a history of human bunglers, not a history of evil puppets. If they had been fully suborned, I think competent Von Carsteins would have moved more towards taking over; while less competent Von Carsteins would have revealed their hand more openly. The Stirlandian League in particular strikes me as a very human sort of corruption that vampires would have little interest in.
-[X] PREDECESSOR APPROACH: The rot lives on; we must excise it.
--[X] Reasoning: The evidence, particularly the hidden ledgers, speaks to me of long-term planning by an opposition that's still out there, working against us, and that possibly will turn to the Von Carsteins as they run out of other options, if they haven't already done so.
-[X] STIRLANDIAN LEAGUE: Do not clasp the snake to your bosom. Destroy the League.
--[X] Reasoning: If we had attempted to take control of the League at once, it might have been worth it at the time. Now, we have a replacement network of greater loyalty, as well the documentation to simply confiscate many the League's assets as we crack down on it, to the benefit of both the Count's own treasury and the rest of the province as a whole. The League's use to us has diminished, while its injury remains.

Interesting. I lean a little away from the currently leading plan here, though. (Voting is only different from Reason To Bits on the first question of loyalty, but I'm going to give my view on the two same votes anyway.)

You can poke around in Altdorf and make purchases for your laboratory (or any other purpose) as a free action while you're there. Actually setting it all up and learning how to use it all will take an action, but you don't have to do it immediately.
I have been entertained by how thoroughly the thread considers 'being used by anyone that's not us' as completely the same as 'being wasted'. Fitting with the character, too. And Van Hal would likely approve. Maybe the Amethyst Order may be able to use the weapons in a way better for the Empire as a whole, but it's not your job to work for the Empire as a whole. Your job is Stirland.

--[X] "I don't think there's sufficient evidence that suggests the rot was so widespread as to include my predecessor. Him being compromised would make it likely the League was compromised, together with his entire intelligence structure, and they could have dealt much more damage than has been done, had he truly been aimed at total subversion.

--[X] "Tentatively. The concept is incredibly useful, giving us a ready-made flow of information many rulers could only dream of, without lifting so much as a finger. Yet, this requires that we find our predecessor first and look if we can claim it in the first place, and maintain it without employing the same...popularity-decreasing tactics."
I honestly think that the other reasoning is reaching as fuck, and is making presumptions then using those presumptions to make presumptions. We know very little about either the Stirlandian League or the previous Spymaster, to claim otherwise is simply a lie. Thus don't act on information you don't possess; instead first seize the league and the former Spymaster if he lives. Then we can find out truly what's what, and if the League costs Stirland more than it helps then it can be subsequently dismantled. After all there's no reason for ones beliefs to remain static and stagnant when you're presented with new information.
There's also a benefit that it'd be dismantled with far greater efficiency after you've seized it as you'd know the size and extent it possesses along with the people involved from merchants to nobles, where as dismantling it from the outside means you're highly likely to miss things.

Perhaps we'll even be told the location of some journeymen who we could recruit, given having a Grey Order mage on the council of an Elector Count should be prestigious for the order.

Eh, loot is loot. Btw, can you give your WoG on whether or not handing the weapons off to the morr knights will result in all of them being buried/sealed away as grave goods? Like is it a certainty, or possibility.

Just one thing, we won't have a chance for another a Grey Wizard until we're a Magister. To do that, we need to seriously practise our magic (which we are failing to do again this turn).
I guess it *was* a very brief stay in our Journeyman Wizard second career before we got bundled into our third Spy career. At least that explains where our WS boosts are coming from.

An Optimistic View Of How Things Might Have Gone
"My lord." you say nervously, taking a deep breath to gather your thoughts.
"Weber?" Van Hal looks at you.
"I'm not sure how to put this. But- ah, in several of the books I've read, there's a question which indicates things are about to go wrong: 'When were you planning on telling me about this?' So there are some things I want to get off my chest before that happens."
"Is this about the fact that you worship Ranald?"
You blink. You were sure you'd been discreet about that. "How did you know?"
"Kasmir told me."
"How did he know?"
"He didn't tell me. Priest business of some sort, I suppose?" Van Hal shrugs. "As I've said, as long as you're loyal to Stirland and the Empire, it doesn't concern me that you worship Ranald. But you said 'things'. What else?"
"...it's more than just worship. I've bought a place in the city so I could work more discreetly outside the castle, and I turned it into a shrine to Ranald the Deceiver, and I've made friends with some of the thief-priests of Ranald the Night Prowler."
Van Hal makes the sign of the comet. "Sigmar preserve me from the plans of wizards. But I've worked with worse. You do intend to make these priests part of your spy network and have them warn you, and me, about attempted vampire infiltration of the city's underworld, right?" His tone makes it clear that this is actually an order despite being phrased as a question.
"Yes."
"Good. What else?"
"The posts listed as 'Magical Expenses' and 'Contacts Outside Stirland' in my budget report are padded with interest payments on my debt to the Grey College."
The Elector Count rolls his eyes. "Weber, the most relevant part of that sentence wasn't the embezzling, it was the word 'debt'. A spymaster in debt to someone else is a spymaster whose loyalties are uncertain." The silence is oppressive as he weighs his next words carefully, glaring at you sharply. "But you have a record of good service, even if it's short, and the Grey Order is a respectable institution, not some Tilean usurer. How much do you owe?" You tell him, and he grunts. "Mmm. I'll have to talk to Wilhelmina, but here's what I'm thinking: You'll stop embezzling, I'll lend you the money, you'll pay off the Grey Order, your debt is now to me. And Wilhelmina will be scrutinizing your future expenses."
(Relation -1)
You nod quickly, hoping that the word 'future' in that sentences means he's willing to overlook your past indiscretions.
"Is that all? Because I have a province to run." Van Hal looks sour and disgruntled, but not angry. Not quite yet. Time for the last card.
"Only one more thing. My former master in the Grey Order sent me a letter. He said that --- ------- --------- ------ --- --- -- -------- ----- -- - ------ ------ -----."
"Well, what did he say?"
"What? I just told you." You reach for Ulgu and try to explain again, listening to yourself speak. "- --- ----- -- ------- - ------ -- -----. Oh. I see. -- ------- ------- -- ----------- -- -- -- ------- -- ------- ----- ------ - ----------." The Count is tapping his fingers impatiently, so you try a new tack. "Hypothetically speaking, a wizard might be able to use Ulgu to magically hide certain information a person knows so that it cannot be passed on. Hypothetically speaking, if I'd had a spell of secrecy put on me this way, there might be certain things I'd be unable to tell you and I'd have to talk around. Hypothetically speaking, such a spell could be dispelled by a similarly powerful wizard. Hypothetically speaking, - ----- -- --------- ---- ---."
"Bloody wizards." Now Van Hal does look angry. "Has your former master asked, told, instructed, or otherwise suggested you do anything contrary to the interests of Stirland and the Empire?"
(Relation -1)
"No." At least you can say that much.
"Then I'm going to conclude this is bloody stupid wizard business and leave it to the bloody stupid wizards to keep their bloody stupid wizard secrets. Get out. Get out, do your job, and see if you can find a way to dispel whatever happened to you. Hypothetically." He spits the last word. You have a feeling he's going to be watching you a lot more closely from now on.
(Entirely speculative post.)
He's not taking that too badly, you think. But he would have liked to be notified earlier. You should probably tell him about the other things earlier rather than later, too.BoneyM said:

We still roll a completely separate roll for injury/exhaustion/burnout. and that one does not benefit from the renald bonus
Renald find it amusing that we would be better casting magic as a priest than as a wizard.

One of the things we should look into getting is a copy of each of the in universe Gotrek and Felix books as possible, because despite how crazy they are and how many believe them to be purely a work of fiction they are actually true.
