[X] Agree
Unless the item is a building (or some sort of mage-killing, Ulgu-disrupting arcane monstrosity) then this should be fun!
[X] [ROMANCE] The Ice Dragon of Karag Zilfin
This sounds hilarious. It won't win, but...
I wish Gehenna were an option!
[X] Elder Hluodwica, High Priestess of Esmerelda and civilian leader of the Eight Peaks Halflings.
Let's get to know her!
[X] Julia, to see what she has gotten up to as Stirland's most experienced spy master.
That spy network was our baby : what did it become?
[X] Eike Hochschild, to get to know your future business partner.
How is Wilhemina's fourth attempt to raise a child going? Will this be the one that doesn't end in a complete mess? The kid seems alright despite having been bought off her desperate mother, so who knows? Vote for this and find out!
[X] Follow up on your donation of the Skaven organ-vat, and see what has been made of it.
Was this actually a big deal, or will it just get ignored?

Phew, dodged a bullet with Asarnil in Marienburg. That could've been a disaster.

Can we visit Kashmir before we leave? I'm pretty curious what he's been up to these few years since we saw him again.

My point is that your "inexhaustible flame + steam boiler" idea does that, so we have to look a the world building and consider why it's not a thing in WHF already.
Sorry to bother you BoneyM, but my take is that a casting of inexhaustible flame would save the owner of any steam-driven mechanism a fortune. I'm assuming it's the creators of the table-top wargame not thinking of the consequences of the spell they put in, but do you have a thing in mind about why it's not used for stuff? One casting per year, for a small(?) source of fuel-less energy, seems like it would be very appealing to those who want to cut costs/save space.
That was his part of the deal with the Gold College. It'll be covered on-screen at the Duckling Club meeting.
Speaking of thoughts existing outside heads, what do they know/think of the Aether, demons and/or magic?

Awww, I was hoping we'd be involved at least partially in the training the gold wizieboys were up to.
Well for one thing the Empire doesn't have steam engines outside the tanks which are quasi-unique, the dwarves wouldn't want to mix engineering with magic unless the engineers in question were deeply ensconsed in mage cadres to get used to the idea of taking advantage of it. Dwarves wont like the idea of something that could be dispelled and fail because of it.

Pretty sure empire could do small scale trains, not enough to make city to city transportation to work, but hauling produce from one side of a city to another.
Could be useful for moving large amounts of goods uphill as well in places.
Also mining operations, though not sure if empire has any mines deep enough to be worth it.
Biggest issue with using trains is not the rails, it's the cost.
Because without long rail network, it is not worth it to use an expensive locomotive, but a magic boiler could lighten the wieght enough to make most of the train from hardwood instead of iron (think steam cars instead of locomotives).

Legal human wizards have not been around long. And dwarfs rarely work with them. I bet were a few examples of this sort of thing back in the golden age when the dwarfs and elves worked together. Or not. I don't know if they had steam engines back then.

As ever, I prefer the social options focused on an interesting part of the world where the socialising is incidental, and to tie up loose ends.

Take the sword training duckling action.
That's for Gretal, Hubert and Adela Iirc.
That... is a disturbingly accurate description of a slayer faced with the possibility of redeeming their honor via death by dragon especially when the dragonrider has no idea why they're looking at his partner.

I'm looking at the social options, and none of them are seeming more desirable to me at the moment than the four Sounding Out options we've got left.
We owe it to everybody to at least try them all before locking anything in, and even beyond that I'm genuinely interested in seeing how they'll go, so I think I will be supporting a full press for this turn. Six months is a lot of time; don't fall into the trap of thinking that we'd be taking it hastily just because a turn sounds small.

I would like to request that people seriously consider approval voting all four as-yet-unpicked [ROMANCE] options this social turn, even if they do not favor actually romancing those characters.
My primary reason is this: the first scene that's on the table for them is not explicitly romantic. It's a getting-to-know-you scene. And the getting-to-know-you scenes for Johann and Panoramia have been amazing. Like, to the point where I, despite not favoring a romance with either character, really enjoyed them and am glad they won, and am now way more okay with the prospect of either of them winning in the end. A bunch of other people said similar things. Boney wrote really awesome, in-depth scenes that helped us get a sense of them as characters, understanding more of what makes them tick, and I'd really like to see that for all six of the candidates, even the ones I don't want to be in a romance with.
I think it's most likely that either Johann or Panoramia will eventually win. The base of support for them is just so much meaningfully larger than it is for the rest. But I think it would be a shame to skip that incredibly delightful getting-to-know-you scene that they've gotten. All six of these characters deserve a day in the spotlight so that we, the thread, can see them put their best foot forward and figure out where we want to go from there.

the first stream pump was put aside because slaves were cheaper in Egypt.
no joke.
Their race preys almost exclusively on Skaven. Sometimes a Skaven will pull a hook on a tube and fire a projectile with terrible force, sometimes a Skaven will say funny words and fire appears from nowhere. The distinction between those two sorts of things are lost on them.
A year is at Lord Magister levels of power, which is not a person that's hired for cheap. Especially since at the Empire's current tech level, you'd be lucky if the engine itself lasts a month, let alone a year.

These two options have just become more important to consider in the next turn plans, should we agree to the offer of the Ice Witches.
