Mathilde can tell him she's preparing for a crazy dangerous scouting mission, those enchanting skills are going to be used to make armor and a staff at least. A comparison could be made to a runesmith preparing his runes for a battle or something.

Sorry, what's this about Uber-robes? Are they just the straight updgrade we've been expecting, or did I miss something in the last day or so?

Putting aside the fact that you have now quoted my same post twice.
Who cares?
The "success" will or won't happen in 3 turns at the earliest.
If we somehow managed to underperform for 3 turns in a row - a scenario that will never come to pass, the thread wouldn't stand for it - we'd have one below average result among all the ridiculous successes.
Frankly, our Dwarf reputation is at 130 reputation and climbing. Short of something catastrophic, in the extremely unlikely event things went badly enough for it to be affected, we have so much we'd barely notice. Seriously, we have enough reputation at this point that we already have access to everything that they would be willing to share.

What's the rationale behind learning that this turn specifically?
@BoneyM since we are spending an action partially interacting with Qrech, could we also get a free Qrech Gambit, provided we were to use the Deceiver instead of the Gambler? It would be an interesting option if we are willing to drop Coin experimentation for this turn, which seems to be gaining slight traction right now.

I am interested in asking for people from the Colleges to join in, but only after we've taken one or two scouting actions for it so that Mathilde has a direct idea of what the place looks like, to see if she thinks it might be a good idea IC.
Also, max books on everything about the place asap.
Edit: I uh... don't wanna free Qrech. He knows that we learned Low Queekish from him, and may well report that. Reading comp fail

[X] Plan Keep It Classy
I still wonder who we could meet if we took this action. Somewhere out there might be a grizzled Grandmaster Ranger with an eyepatch and a mechanical arm, and we could get scouting andcardboard box Master Infiltration training from them for only 10 favor...

How rapidly do Chaos Wastes expand? And did they expand as a result of Chaos victories or did they facilitate said victories? I was assuming it was a terrain type that required more than simple Chaos army occupation.

@BoneyM Does this apply to the expedition?
Qrech gambits are based on Mathilde getting her focus on, which means spending long hours planing and cajoling Qrech followed by the results if it succeeds. She can't half ass that.

Yes, but our timesheet is only audited in the event of a failure.
Yeah, I expect our report, should Keep It Classy win, will be "I talked to my contacts who have special knowledge of the route and prepared myself to go scout the region personally."
It's the attempt at enchanting always-on Aethyric Armour into our robes with our Tirelessness Mastery and our higher magic, to make robes with the protection of plate armor and which make us immune to physical fatigue while wearing them. There's also been some research, spearheaded by @Andres110, into finding useful spells from other Winds we could add into it with Windherder.
My belief is that learning this will give us better odds at including subtler or more complex effects in our work, as opposed to just straight up "more powerful". So doing it before we turn our staff or make our robes seems like a smart idea.

I am assuming that the LM Grey part of the action will be somewhere in the ballpark of a single conversation and a written and collated report. So for the rest of the month it is pretty much just Qrech and combining the information he gives us with Grey's for a bigger picture. Barely any less half-assed than when we were double-checking his info and learning a language.
Guys, I know I'm a little late to the party, but has there been appropriate discussion about the fact that the two leading plans only contain one action that pursues the goal given to us by Belegar? It seems inappropriate, especially considering he wasn't exactly thrilled with how we handled the last problem he gave us. We should probably ax one or two of the classes to get more done on that front.

I don't know about an eyepatch and mechanical arm, but thanks for reminding me we can get top notch Dwarven trainers in the appropriate skills. That it would also prepare us for our internship in Ulthuan is icing on the cake.
I hope so. It'd be better for us if we could increase the quality as opposed to just increasing the likelihood of crossing a single Success DC.

It requires the winds of magic blowing very strongly from the north which generally happens during the big chaos invasions and Karag Dum fell during the big last one during Magnus time. It also probably didn't help that it is located in an area that has fallen ever more to chaos and chaos aligned factions over the last few centuries (I mean as far as I am aware the last big non-chaos aligned nomads/inhabitants of the region were the Gospodars before they moved west and settled in modern day Kislev) and stuff like Waystones and the like which counter events like that are probably non-existent at this point in time (if there were ever that many to begin with).

They're talking about a Qrech gambit that does not cost AP, i.e. is free, not a gambit to free Qrech.

There has been extensive discussion of that on the last few pages. I personally don't think it's a problem; if we succeed on the project overall, there's no issue. It's only in the event that we fuck up that our timesheet attracts attention.
That said, if you wish to be more conservative with project actions, take a look at Plan Fulfilling Obligations v2 or Plan Fulfill Obligations with Gretel.

That the anti-chaos course does not apply only came to be known a few hours ago.
I am trying to get other plans going that meet the requirements:

I want to fill the last couple of turns before the expedition choke full with scouting and request College aid right after that as well. So if the average amount of actions spent over all 3-7 turns doesn't drop below 2 I really don't see the issue. Even if Belegar heavily disapproved, he literally doesn't have any direct insight regarding the exact timeframe we did any of the things we are going to do to help the expedition. Did we recruit Wizards while in Altdorf this year or six months before launch? Who knows.

I understand the position of the leading vote, but I cannot condone only taking one action towards the goal we're hired to do, just because we can get away with it. Even two actions is a little questionable. Furthermore, I don't think trying to hire Gretel and the Besiegers for the expedition would be a good idea, especially not at this time with them being put on retainer by Barak Varr for the upcoming blockade issue. If that gets resolved before the expedition starts, then I could probably be persuaded otherwise.

Half actions for terms of AP count as full actions for terms of job fulfillment. There's WOG somewhere validating this.

That is news to me.
Quote please.
I'm fairly certain this is incorrect, or at least Boney has said that if Belegar audits our activities, foisting things onto our subordinates would not be looked upon as kindly as personal intervention.
