On their own, yes. But then you have geysers spewing out sulfur into the water and soil non-stop, earthquakes churning up and burying any plant growth, and the floodwaters are a flash and then recede away from the desert. To say nothing of the orcoid ecosystem present and dominant.
Are we sure that Marienburg is behind the plague? I mean, the Skaven are enemies of Order and the canal that's being built will immensely strengthen both the Karaz Ankor and the Empire. They have plenty motivation all on their own to mess it up. They have the technology to do this and the science/lack of care needed to risk starting a plague. Isn't one of the abandoned Karaks near to the canal occupied by them?
That's not to say that Marienburg is innocent of the plague; we don't know. There could be two factions plotting against us. We lack evidence right now and should keep an open mind about who are enemies are right now.
Hopefully this put a chill on any more Marienburg operations against the canal since the dwarves already twitchy enough due to this crisis.
Could see Marienburg pull back since enough of their leaders would see how close Marienburg from being the scapegoat, the dangers toward their position in the future if any of their people got caught hanging around even if its unrelated to what happened.
The Empire could remind them of this.

Don't count anyone out just yet, least of all Marienburg. Human notables do occasionally hire or trade with Skaven, even if the Rats in question usually try to rip them off. Eshin in particular work as killers and saboteurs for whoever has the means to hire them.
Also, mixing some crushed warpstone into your gunpowder to give it more kick isn't exactly rocket science, especially for applications like bombs where you don't need to worry about overstressing a gunbarrel.

Unfortunately, you don't have the privilege of seeing the Council react to your new promotion. Among Dwarves the news of such things spread quietly behind the scenes so nobody inadvertently gives offence by addressing a newly-promoted craftsman by their former title, and everyone transitions seamlessly to referring to you by your new title, or at least various attempts at it. Khazalid doesn't have established labels for Wizards - not complimentary ones, anyway - so you find yourself referred to as everything from the relatively brief Dalokri to the intimidating mouthful Dalmhornzhufokralaki, which isn't precisely correct but you take the compliment in the spirit that was intended.
The beginning of the Council meeting is dedicated to touring the work of the Okral, which you suspect is being treated with a great deal more respect than would have been the case if their trip home had been uneventful. Karags Rhyn and Mhonar have been restored and dedicated to Valaya and Smednir respectively, and most of the Clans of Karak Eight Peaks are moving into them from Karag Lhune. It's far from necessary as Karag Lhune would only begin to approach cramped if every Dwarf, Halfling, and human in the Karak decided to live there, but it does mean that five of the Eight Peaks are at least partially populated. It's never a good idea to leave a vacuum in the mountains for too long, as there's a great deal of hostile beings that will eagerly fill it if given half a chance. Besides, the smelters and forges that have been established in Karag Mhonar are a big step on the way to the Karak being self-sufficient.
Also toured are the exterior Sentinels and Morzund's Wall, a series of walls and watchtowers that keep a wary eye on the gaps between the southern Karags where the terrain isn't quite difficult enough to fully dissuade a determined attacker on its own. The Western Gates are the final stop and certainly impress, as the towering stone edifice looks forbidding enough even before you factor in the cannon that line the battlements. Not toured, but definitely important, was the great deal of work put in to the tunnels below the Karak, mapping their extent, exterminating anything left in there that shouldn't be, and collapsing, filling, and barricading until what was left presented as defensable and patrollable an underground perimeter as possible.
"Time for settling in properly," Belegar says as you all make your way back from the Western Gates. "No doubt there'll be some sort of teething troubles as entire Clans move in to what will hopefully be their homes for the rest of time." Belegar grimaces. "I'd planned a celebration, but with the attack on the Okral it seems like it would be in poor taste. And speaking of which," he nods to you, "anything you can uncover before it's time for your Expedition will be of great help."
"I wish the timing was better," you say with a frown. "The attack, matters with Marienburg... I worry I'm going to come back to a war."
"If we waited for good times to get things done, we'd never do them," Belegar says, to nods of agreement from the other Dwarves. "Karag Dum called for help a hundred and eighty-five years ago, it's about time somebody answered."

Overwork incurs no penalties on the turns taken, only on the turns recovering from it. You can take as many actions of overwork as you have unfilled boxes.

Okralaz - Guild (formal, usually only applied to respected Dwarven Guilds)
Okrali - Guild member in good standing

Dalokrali - Grandmaster in good standing with a guild
Dalokraki - Grandmaster of exceptional skill
Dalokralaki - Foremost Grandmaster in a specific guild

Dalokraz - something very well-made
Dalokrulaz - something made by a Grandmaster
Dalokrulakaz - greatest pinnacle of a particular craft in the current era

Dalokrulakaz-ha - greatest pinnacle of a particular craft era, usually reserved for the works of the Ancestor Gods
Dalokrulakazi-ha - greatest ever craftsman of their type, usually reserved for the Ancestor Gods.
Words to specify the specific craft go before the 'ok'. Eg: Grungokri = miner, wutokri = carpenter, zhufokri = Wizard, mhornzhufokri = Grey Wizard.
Dalmhornzhufokralaki = Foremost Grey Wizard Lord of their Guild, applied to Mathilde due to a lack of understanding of the internal structure of the Colleges and how the K8P Wizards fit into them.

The two aren't mutually exclusive though? Strygos had a fairly low population, yet was still driving the Orcs and Goblins out of the Badlands. At least, until Neferata ruined the whole place because Ushoran isn't allowed to have nice things.
So presumably they were also using them as troops.

It seems like we've never tested what happens if our blade is summoned and de-summoned while we are in water? Water specifically even, because Mathilde never swims.
It could be the case that it has some kind of visual effect if you are not in pure air, and are in strong gas or mist or fog or in weird concentrations of light or atmospheric conditions or something... or in a liquid. Probably liquid because, again, Mathilde never swam before whereas we've probably at least summoned it in fog or mist or in concentrations of Winds of Magic.
Should just be "that" I believe.

Yet another thing to consider: it would appear that the monitor carrying the okral was specifically targeted, which says two things:
Dude, I Iliterally say that in the bit you quoted. I'm asking why the barrel wood didn't end up anywhere else.
- Whoever did this was aiming to simultaneously inflict maximum damage to and cause maximum grudging from the Karaz Ankor.
- We need to take a look at dwarven information security. Someone knew which boat to hit in advance.

Well, first glance at that list has me wanting to put everything possible onto investigating the Okral mess- so Johann, Max, and the Hochlander all taking their actions on it. Mathilde, meanwhile, I'm thinking finish fog path (with overwork allowed, as pre-approved by BoneyM) and take an action on scouting. And lastly, put the coin on Protector, for previously discussed reasons.

nooooo there are so many new good actions, we're never gonna infiltrate that cult
(Though, I thought Wilhelmina had agreed that she liked the idea of Stirland having domestic gunpowder production. Is this a case of "she's likely to get to it eventually, but we can accelerate the schedule with our EIC action" or a case of "if we want it done at all, we need to use our EIC action for it"?)
Wilhelmina would get it done herself at some point, but Mathilde has resources and expertise to call on that Wilhelmina doesn't.

Max and Johann have been preparing for the Expedition for the last several turns, so it isn't a big deal if they investigate here. I definitely support that.
Is there anything we need to do personally regarding the investigation? I thought that we would be spending an entire AP to meet up with the expedition right away instead of later. If not, Rite of Way plus Branarhune, with Overwork finishing up Rite of Way if needed, and if not it goes towards Branarhune. Finishing both would be absolutely incredible.

Thanks.
Some thoughts on our Duckling and Penthouse actions, since I suspect our Golds and EIC will be all-in on the attack:
I kind of really want to take "Work with Panoramia to try to implement the Waaaghsoak Mushrooms as an aid to spellcasting" this turn. We've got a bunch of Wizards going up to Karag Dum, and if we can bring along a neat little boost, that will be quite handy. It will also give an opportunity to see the Greenhouse tower in action.
My thinking here is that we should take "Have firing platforms built around the Penthouse so that it can be defended from flyers or climbers without granting access to it." If worst comes to worst, this will give the Karak a place to defend the summit from while leaving the Penthouse itself locked down.
