- Rolls were made for what you were able to find, but were not displayed to avoid giving OOC information. Mathilde does not know if what she found is all there was to find.
I always find it immersion breaking when GMs
don't do that. Even in D&D, if it were up to me, all search and perception checks would be done by the DM in secret.
But the alternative is that this might be Skaven running a false flag. We took out some of them in a civil war, and it sounds like they're attempting to take out some of ours.
Couldn't it just be Skaven doing a regular attack with a bit of obfuscation through Human mercenaries added on? Like right now, is there anything at all that points to Marienburg other than that they have some beef with Barak Varr and that mercenaries cost money?
For all we know Marienburg isn't even directly behind the piracy in Stirland, even if they are the currently most likely culprit.
Huh. Genuinely wasn't expecting that. How does a giant rat go about hiring human bandits, I wonder.
Eshinzhufi.
So, is it because rivers are full of Ghyran, which the blade is absorbing? Or is it because the fame of our accoutrements is starting to make them look subtly fancier? Or is it because we just personally saved three hundred dwarves with the Protector sure to be retroactively on and as far as runes go that counts for something?
Maybe it's just because we activated it under water, forcing the Rune to summon/create more matter at once to prevent a vacuum explosion.
@BoneyM when we unsummon Branulhune, be it in water or air, does it make a sound or suck things towards it?
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.
Should we have corrected him? How does your average Dwarf react to being referred to by a
higher title than the one they have earned?
Yet another thing to consider: it would appear that the monitor carrying the okral was specifically targeted, which says two things:
It hit the first Monitor in a Multi-Monitor convoy. All this tells us is that they wanted to harm Dwarves.
No. AP isn't just for game balance, it's also to limit how much writing needs to go into a given turn.
And if we were to hire the people and have them report to Belegar or Dreng? That would limit additional writing needed to a blurb at the Council meeting.
They might know about long-established cultists to the Horned Rat or things like that,
How does the Cult of the Horned Rat even express itself among Humans? I think I've seen the
existence of such Cults mentioned in some canon source or wiki, but I've never seen anything like even a basic example.
Anyway, the suspects' list is still open, though I think we can safely exclude Druchii at least.
Marienburg being desperate is a possibility, Dawi Zharr as well (though very unlikely, maaaaybe via proxy) and Skaven.
If its Skaven, the relatively low-tech vector of the sabotage suggests a non-Skryre clan.
Could be Eshin, as they are crafty enough to hire human patsies.
Could be a Warlord clan, as they tend to be versatile, whether the remnants of the Mors or some other player.
@BoneyM Can we (or Max) ask Qrech whether he knows of any non-Skaven that can potentially create or gain access to their fabled high efficiency blackpowder? It doesn't seem like a secret to keep safe for the good of Moulder or the glory of the Horned Rat.
If possible, I'd rather we do it. And I think effort wise it should be fair to fit it into the quarter action we dedicate to helping each of our Gold employees at their day job.
Dreng's working out the best patrol schedules and guard rotations for the finished defences
Finding the bandits isn't his full time turn project?
