[X] Belegar, to discuss the northern Karaks and the Expedition.
Because Belegar and because it is actually relevant to our current activities.
[X] Elder Hluodwica, High Priestess of Esmerelda and civilian leader of the Eight Peaks Halflings.
Because it is a shameful display that we have yet to talk with her.
[X] Sir Ruprecht Wulfhart, leader of the frontier town of Ulrikadrin.
Because he will probably be coming to hell and is thus relevant. Plus I would like to know how interacting with a Wizard ambassador has changed his views.
[X] Kasmir, to see how he's keeping himself busy in Sylvania.
Because I want to see him before we go to hell and doubt he will win a 'who sees you off' vote.
[X] Eike Hochschild, to get to know your future business partner.
Because she is still young and impressionable. It is practically our duty as a Grey Wizard to protect / take advantage of her.
[X] The Gold College, to see what's become of their research into Skaven technology.
[X] Follow up on your donation of the Skaven organ-vat, and see what has been made of it.
Because I find Progress interesting.
Now for the contentious one.
[X] [ROMANCE] Journeywoman Panoramia
Pan is my romance choice because I believe (in large part due to Vebyast's arguments) she is the only one who would be more 'partner' and less 'project'. She is an equal, not a subordinate.
On a side note I feel people need to keep in mind what they are actually voting for. It is my understanding (and
@BoneyM can correct me if I am wrong) that all the [ROMANCE] actions guarantee is that Mathilde will express interest. There is no certainty that the other character will be receptive. Or that the two will be able to make things work between them. As the recent Study Coin action showed; just because Mathilde and the thread think something is viable doesn't mean it actually is.
Consider that Cython is an Emperor Dragon. They are by definition one of the oldest creatures on the planet, gods included. It is entirely possible that Cython predates the
Slann. They might have academic interest in a magic using human and they might want her for her library, but emotional attachment seems highly unlikely. At least for the first few decades of their acquaintanceship.
On the other hand there is arguably much entertainment for us readers and much character development for Mathilde in having her advances shot down by the biggest nerd on the continent. If such interests you then by all means vote for it. Just be aware of what you are voting for and tailor your expectations appropriately.
Hubert... honestly I'm not sure what Hubert wants.
He want to be a noble knight of Ulric without having to chisel off the chunk of his soul that lets him fly unaided. With his ambassador position he has basically achieved that as much as it can be achieved. He probably also has the usual noble knight ambitions: Fame, glory and recognition. Hence why he is eager to follow Mathilde through the gates of hell.
Oh and he may want to deepen his romance with a certain lady knight, but that isn't really Mathilde's business is it?
