Ah. So that's Master Greatsword basically, is it? Had noticed "Master Greatsword (1/4)" on our character sheet, figured that was new.[Branarhune aspect developed: momentum dump. Remaining aspects: guard bypass, quick-draw, hand switching.]
Is Qrech still finishing up his university correspondence classes, or did he finish, or what?

Wow. Those rolls sucked. I hope this means the next few rolls are above average to balance out.
Cool, that works. So they last for "approximately one army-scale fight or several personal-scale fights back-to-back". I'd guess that they'd have had a decent chance of lasting the whole time if we'd activated them just before moving on to the Advanced Disciples in the College at Teufelheim, for example:
Definitely good enough. It's usually pretty obvious when we're about to get into a Real Fight and how many more we're like to get into in a given day.[Advanced disciples: Intrigue, 96+19=115]
Sure enough, the penultimate tier of Alkharad's disciples remain engrossed in dissections, meditations, and murmured conversation. You interrupt the first two, and spend some time contemplating the third until you realize you can encompass the three of them in the arc of a single swing of Branulhune. A single level remains, one you didn't scout because you didn't fancy sharing a room with a centuries-old Vampire until you were ready to go all in, no matter what spells cloaked you. You spend some time debating on the stairs, but in the end you didn't want to put much stock in the hope that a centuries-old Necrarch Vampire with a proven track record of novel magic use would have poor Magesight, and instead you pour energy into your shadow until it lashes about eagerly, ready to taste blood once more.

Emphasis mine. Mathilde is going full Jedi, apparently, now with the ambidextrous sword-twirling stuff. Except without the twirling, lol.[Branarhune aspect developed: momentum dump. Remaining aspects: guard bypass, quick-draw, hand switching.]
And I was about to ask you if that was a typo...Finishing up. I'll add him to the list of social actions.
Yes. Branarhune is the tentative name for the finished style, replacing the 'ul' of an item with the 'ar' of something that continues indefinitely.
[ ] Julia, to see what she has gotten up to as Stirland's most experienced spy master.
I really want to see how our intrigue protégé is doing. Pleaaseee?
Well, more that we guided her into her current profession. It's indulgent, patting ourselves on the back for her accomplishments, but we could do with some indulgence.Is she our protégé? It's been years and she has not really spent that long in Mathilde's employ compared to her time working for Sirlind directly. It feels a bit presumptuous to call her that IMO.
@BoneyM is there going to be a final Social Turn next turn, before we set off for Karag Dum? Or is a Social Turn, if it happens in such a form at all rather than being epilogue or series of interlude or outright social actions rather than the "turn by turn Social Turn" instead, to be for the end of that turn?
On the one hand, all those romance novels must have planted at least the concept into Mathilde's head.Mathilde has begun a romantic relationship with Panoramia of the Jade Order. What are her future intentions in this realm?
[ ] [ROMANCE] Seek a romantic relationship with a second partner.
Once you have allowed Mathilde into a position of power over you, forever will she dominate your destiny.Is she our protégé? It's been years and she has not really spent that long in Mathilde's employ compared to her time working for Sirlind directly. It feels a bit presumptuous to call her that IMO.
Yeah, its all just hoping and seeing silver linings for this.That is not really how dice work unfortunately, though it's how we expect them to work.
I mean the break up vote is right there, and it requires a vote to keep dating her too. If Mathilde ends up dating Panoramia then that's just democracy, not a "soft lock."
