I mean, as far as he's concerned his personal contributions to Mathilde's military strategy led to the Traitor-Clan Mors being annihilated. So Clan Moulder absolutely did win, and not even through a technicality - Qretch of the Seventh-and-Final Combe destroyed Mors.

And now he's moving on to the Chaos Dwarves! They should be quivering in their fancy daemon-boots.

I know there are a lot better names for the potential super-library, but if it ends up being called the Great Library of Mathilde I'll be really chuffed. :V
 
Staying here doesn't necessarily mean 'in the same position', let's keep in mind. There are plenty of changes in focus that don't require a change in locale.

For example, ritual magic. I want to do ritual magic. There's more mechanical basis for it than there is for standard spell creation (spell creation isn't bad, I mean ritual creation had a really thorough process), and a lot of our issues can be solved more believably with a suitable ritual than by, say, enchanting ten thousand detector items and embedding them in the tunnel walls (which would require enchanting a metaphorical thousand enchanted items, rather than putting everything on the table and trying to get it done all at once).

For instance, a ritual that causes foes who enter the tunnel system under the Karak to get inevitably lost and end up in certain places, (like pits full of We-webs, or otherwise inexplicable rooms full of sharp machinery that we had the dwarves add in for laughs).

Researching the ritual might make somebody explode, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to have them make (the person is us). :V

I foresee that Mathilde would get a lot of potent Martial and Intrigue traits after assassinating the Okral. You have my complete support for this plan.

Some members of the Okral took Mathilde's contributions to the romance book exchange with them when they left, without leaving books of equivalent value behind.

The only fitting punishment is death.

True. Any outsider who has read even a single scurrilous chapter of this book- let alone absconded with a copy- cannot be allowed to escape.

The Real Witch-Knight of Stirland: Säng und Dämmerlicht
-back cover blurb on a well-read book which abruptly stopped circulating in the Karak Eight Peaks Book Club.

This meticulously researched, scholarly tome reveals- at last!- the salacious, shadowed secrets of the dreaded Dämmerlichtreiter of Stirland. The author has retraced her secretive steps across Stirland even into dark Sylvania, interviewing those who knew her best- colleagues, employees, enemies, lovers. Looking into the early years in her career, this detailed exposé covers events leading up to the Purge of the Hunters Hills.

What dark deeds gained the Sängerkritisch her reputation? Was it purely merit, or was there favoritism- perhaps from her close relationship with the Hunter Count? Shocking interviews with Eagle Castle staff tell of midnight encounters in the darkened corridors, clad only in grey smallclothes, and of long, private audiences with the Hunter Count behind his sound-deadening doors.

Then, we examine her relationships with colleagues during these years. What was her relationship with Marshall Gustav von Jungfreud- rumour has it the Dämmerlichtreiter was closely involved in both the violent 'retirement' of his predecessor, and Gustav's subsequent appointment. Burgher Julia Massif- for several years the recipient of her largesse, to the tune of hundreds of gold crowns. For what reason would the Dämmerlichtreiter purchase a house, fund a staff and maintain the lavish lifestyle of the noted, unmarried, socialite?

Find details on these stories, and more, within The Real Witch-Knight of Stirland: Säng und Dämmerlicht

Excerpts from featured interviews with those who knew her best:

"How well did I know her? Oh, the things I could tell you... if you could afford it." - Socialite Julia Massif
"First-rate rider. Excellent in the saddle!" - Marshall Gustav von Jungfreud
"A manipulative, ambitious, treacherous witch! The very soul of evil!" - former Watch Captain Guion 'Lefty' Ragnier
"A most considerate woman. Delivered the sad news of my brothers' passing in a manure accident, don't you know." - Count Maksim von Stolpe
"Insatiable appetite for salacious novels. Quite remarkable. Funded my daughter through University." - Proprietor of Wurtbad Books, Periodicals, and Printing

Stop: QM Request Threadban

    Animal breeding advanced because it ultimately did grasp something about genetics, they may not have known about DNA, but in the end people understood that certain traits could be passed down from parent to child, and so they bred couples with the traits they wanted and specifically kept the children who retained those traits.

    "Do X to get Y result and provided you do X correctly you will get the Y result."

    But Apparently, If I'm reading BoneyM correctly, for humans, magic can't really be boiled down to this after a certain point, apparently two different human wizards of the same wind can end up with two entirely different understandings of said wind that can result in entirely different magical capabilities for each of them that the other cannot replicate.

    If Boney wants me to stop harping on about how humans suck and we should try to become something else... Well that's just the way I see the world he's... well not built We can blame GW for that, but Fixed up? Completed? Remodeled?

    • This looks like it can be used for combat precog. Simple spell, takes a half action to cast, gives a re-roll that can be used in combat. Hubert doesn't have it though. All he has is Aethyric Armour, Lightning Bolt, and Wings of Heaven.
     
    Sure they do.
    First Portent of Amul: Re-roll one die on your next turn.
    Second Portent of Amuel: As First Portent, but can be used within the next hour.
    Third Portent of Amul: Rerolls a critical hit against you during the next 24 hours. Only one instance can be active at a time.
    Premonition: Re-roll one of your skill dice during the next 24 hours. Only one instance can be active at a time.

    Also Darth Hubertous should learn Force Wind Blast: Targets in a large area are knocked prone and battered about, negates missile fire in area.

    I don't think Heaven wizards have access to combat precog. Closest they get is a few extra Fortune points.

    The first portent of Amul lets you reroll any check in the next round, including weapon skill checks. The second lets you reroll any two checks in the next hour. The third lets you reroll a critical hit in the next day.

    Their fluff is precognition, and you can cast the first portent and make an attack in the same turn by the RPG mechanics, so Celestial Wizards do actually fight like that.

    Second Portent takes a full action to cast, meaning you can't attack in a round if you cast it. Third Portent takes even longer to cast. Premonition works, but it's got a CN of 16 so it's harder to pull off than First Portent, which in DL translates as harder to pull off in the hectic confines of close quarter combat.
