Mmmm I'm so tempted by the idea of trying to squeeze in another stab at sword stylin' last minute but so many things to do and so few actions haha.
Really do need to finish that spell, but the temptation of overwork for another sword skill instead of a safety net!!!

Hmm. If they find out that that isn't the case there might be quite a bit of grumbling. Each Karak having near independent Guild branches is a major cornerstone of Royal/Karak independence. Belegar's Loremaster being more beholden to Altdorf than Gotri is to Zhufbar might be something to gripe about.

If Mathilde were to fight a mantis shrimp, my money'd be on the mantis shrimp.
If a bloodthister were to fight a mantis shrimp, my money would still be on the mantis shrimp.

I'm pretty sure that most would let it go with a quick grumble, since Manling Wizards doing Manling Wizard foolishness is to be expected.

You say this as though Bloodthirsters aren't really overgrown mantis shrimps that fell to Chaos.
We're actually covered there; because the sword itself is also under Substance of Shadow, which means it doesn't cause a cavitation bubble in that circumstance.
It does, however, makes me wonder about what happens if somebody submerges themselves in water and then casts Substance of Shadow.
Do they cause a cavitation bubble as the water immediately rushes in to where they were? And thus makes a light? And thus immediately dispels Substance of Shadow? And thus potentially splinches the wizard?
@BoneyM what happens if somebody casts Substance of Shadow on something underwater? Or if something dispels/ends Substance of Shadow while the object or person is under water?
Ok, shockwave was a bad word choice, that's terminlogy for super-sonic waves. Still, a sword sized vacuum would produce a very loud bang. Not as loud as it would get in the ocean, but that's still between one and two atmospheres (Depending on who deep in the water she was) of pressure slamming the water into itself.
Sure, but It's not going to make her ear drums that much tougher, it's a thin piece of skin, and water transmits sound/force much more easily.
Getting your eardrums burst underwater is damn disorienting (also nausea), without even the full-body water punch. Getting suddenly disoriented in a fast moving river is not a fun time.

We asked? Can you dig that up?
Anyway, I'm generally fine with all three subordinates investigating it, Fog Path + Conditional Overwork on it, recruiting ducklings or sparring with them, and actually dig down!
Come on folks, there were some cool rooms left over. Prevent forcible entry? It's as absurd as it was before, our penthouse is already finely secured by conventional defenses, plus an entire fortified mountain that's inside a fortified mountain range.
It's a matter of hundreds of years for it to be at any possible risk of forcible entry, assuming a massive siege started right now.
IIRC that action was to the tune of "set up a manned checkpoint at the sole entrance". That sounds downright inconvenient.

The answer is simpler than you think.
The light is from intensity. At the instant of a cavitation bubble's collapse, all of the energy of the mass displacement is discharged onto one point. This, even for a small bubble is extremely intense at the center point, producing the light, and causing nasty damage to ship propellors when they go fast enough.. This light is diminished or nonexistent when the bubble fails to collapse fast enough, allowing the energy to disperse faster than it hits the critical point.
However, the total energy is determined by the size of the bubble. A sword sized bubble would be harmless to a human unless said human was at the epicenter.

Looks good.
Looks good.
There's a few types of shrimp that can achieve sonoluminescence without negative effects on themselves. As long as Mathilde isn't hugging the sword to herself while she disappears it underwater it doesn't seem like it should be a problem, though I admit I haven't got the level of knowledge required to sit down and math out the amount of energy an instant vacuum is dumping into the water.
Not that you've noticed. Kragg did design it to be compatible with stealth, though probably not underwater stealth.
As Belegar said, getting settled in. Make sure there's no teething problems from getting everyone moved in and the new patrol schedules nailed down.
They're capable of hiring whoever they think can help them achieve their goal. Handing them an AP drain unasked is at best annoying and at worst insulting.
Many of them think currying favour with the Skaven now will result in them having positions of authority when the Skaven conquer the surface.
All he knows about it is that it makes bullets go.
It's a matter for Barak Varr and Karaz-a-Karak as the aggrieved parties.
Yes, Dwarven Guilds are local so they're assuming that K8P's Wizards is a tiny guild in its own right.
Bad things. That's why Mathilde avoided doing so.

3x investigations and standard personals, only difference is the Duck action and the Penthouse action.
That said, I think basically all the plans on offer this vote are totally reasonable, and I cannot imagine myself being too fussed about which one wins.
