Kumis is horrible stuff. It tastes like sour milk, mostly because it is.
That's definitely how we'd sell it to the Kurgan. I'm worried about how we'll sell the supply deal to the Knights of Taal's Fury, whose response to "aren't you glad we aren't fighting extra Chaos worshipers beyond the ones at our destination" is likely to be "no."
With this in mind, I am fine buying supplies.
On a emotional level, I simply don't trust plans based deceit. Certainly not where Tzeentch hold's sway.
They aren't fae and bound by their word.
But another way of looking at it is....
How would anyone know that we are neck deep in anything if the only thing they see is that they keep their distance from the expedition and have skirmishes with other Kurgan?
If it were only for safe passage or safe passage and supplies, wouldn't it make sense to the Dolgan that we hope to have an unhindered pilgrimage through multiple tribal territories? We wouldn't even need to keep that a secret.
Flying is generally not an option? How would we have gotten there if we chose to scout Karag Dum vicinity first?
