That Karak reclamation attempt fills me with dread, to be entirely honest, given that without special circumstances that sort of thing usually just ends with a lot of dead dwarves by the end of the day.

And Dum, of all places, seems to be a little bit of a hellhole. I hope this was not provoked by K8P reclamation.

I mean, the Eye of Gazul handles the western gate just fine, even if not as completely as the Eastern Gate.

It can't really do the outside of it as much. I don't think it'd be too difficult for a wily enemy to stay out of sight of the Eye while still managing to besiege the gate.

Admittedly, the ones I'd really expect to manage that are the Chaos Dwarfs, and they'd be coming from the other side. Still, more fortification can't hurt.

Agreed. Let's NOT go to the brink of the chaos wastes after the Grand Patriarch of the Colleges flash-checked us for tzeenchian possession. Do we REALLY want to tempt fate that badly?

[jk] PROJECT: Tell Wolf he is a Good Boy

I'm inclined towards assisting the Karak Dum project. We've demonstrated once we're an able assistant to such projects, and I doubt the dwarfs would turn down one of the three Names of the Karak Eight Peaks reclamation coming to help ensure lightning struck twice.

It would make sense to switch our coin to night prowler. MAPP the whole Karak.

I want to do Karak Dum. If for no other reason that it is a good chance to meet Gortex. If I got the dates right it is the first one where Gortex get his axe. Or it may be the third expedition when the dwarfs flew in a ship.
 
Getting involved in the Karag Dun preparations is tempting. Not for Mathilde to go along herself necessarily, but her 'press tour' recruitment was a significant factor in Eight Peaks' success, and her reach has only grown since.

A suggestion to the Grey College to send a talented Journeyman or novice Magister along, if the expedition is successful, could nudge along a 'tradition' of Grey advisors in new Karaks, which is the kind of influence-mongering the College might well be interested in fostering. And a new penpal for Mathilde to commiserate with.

How miserably they failed, in canon?

If it was an actual fight with some chances, I am not opposed to voting to assist them. K8P should be able to bolster them considerably with mercenaries and such, in addition to our efforts, and have observed snowball effect in action for army gathering efforts before.

It was bad and only a handful of dawi made it back. Mathilde is actually in the perfect position to help them prepare. Since she has a way to superpower runes and knowledge of magic.
 
I think Marienberg and Waystones are pretty clear frontrunners. Marienburg to prevent a war, Waystones because good grief, Waystones.

I loved the interaction with panoramia, she really gets Mathilde, and I love it!

I'm going to vote for her in the future. We should help her to become a magister soon, that way she can pull more influence to help with the Waystones
 
Panoramia is now in the lead for me as far as romance goes.

She seems to be able to understand us on a level that Johann is just not capable of, and this is something Mattie noted herself. The whole scene also honestly seemed a lot more intimate to me then the Johan date as well.

Also, Johann is an employee and Panoramia isn't.

Just my opinion, don't expect everyone to agree.
 
So. Yeah, Am SERIOUSLY feeling the Pam vibes.

[ ] PROJECT: Karag Dum
Though at the opposite end of the continent, no Dwarf is disinterested in a reclamation attempt, and that goes double for those living in a reclaimed Hold. Perhaps Belegar would be willing to assign you to aid the preparations of Expedition.

Wow. Didn't think we'd have an option for this.


[ ] PROJECT: Aethyric Vitae
You're reasonably confident that there's a great deal of potential yet to be unlocked in the Vitae.

This is related imo, in that Anvils of DOOM can now be recharged quickly and therefor can be used offesivly without as much concer but... I don think that is what this action is referring to. Hmm. am ambilvlant.


[ ] PROJECT: Cartographer
Your maps have made significant differences to several battles, and could prove just as useful in its ongoing defence. You could map the entirety of Karak Eight Peaks and enchant a map room so that it would forever display your findings, and could be updated as needed.

Honestly, if we do this, I want to learn MMAPP first/try to do so on that turn. If we are not trying to learn MMAPP, I am utterly opposed.


[ ] PROJECT: Dragon
You've supplied one weapon for the possibility of a hostile dragon, perhaps now you should see to securing the possibility of a peaceful one.

No idea how we might go about it, but worth trying, especially considering how uh, not great the thing we ordered on behalf of Belegar was in terms of 'risky' .


[ ] PROJECT: Black Waters
Though you're unlikely to be able to contribute to the construction yourself, you might be able to indirectly aid the ongoing construction of the canals and locks between the Black Waters and the Aver.

I'm at a loss as to what Mathilde has in mind for how she might contribute, outside of "prevent beast men/orc/mercenary attack", so if it's not too rude would you mind expanding on what Mathilde has in mind for this? Personally I'm not that interested in going for this, but I am curious @BoneyM.

So yeah, for me, it's the Hold, the Dragon or the Waystones.
I look forward to reading arguments for and against all the options.

All but a few of them died out of the whole expedition. Most of the survivors became slayers and the ones that did not were already slayers. They were constantly bogged down fighting chaos forces because they rushed a force there . I really can not put it in other words a lot of dawi died horrible deaths. Gortex thought it was bad.
