I think the time traveling students have a good chance to get at us this turn, they would unfortunately have to sacrifice that promising young magister that joined the expedition, but Mathilde doesn't know him and he has a reason to get close to her, so the opportunity is too good to pass.
 
Just a thought, but would belegar have a going away party for us planned? Probably not with the whole boat bombing situation, but it would be cool to see how the hold reacts to mathilde leaving.
 
I'm totally voting for Rite of Way, with or without name attached, but have we considered the possibilities in confusing and irritating future time traveling apprentices by deliberately naming our next series of spells so that their abbreviation matches that of existing spells?

So we'd be better off breeding generations of mushrooms in an Ulgu rich environment to enhance their capacity for containing Ulgu.

... We need an apprentice to be our Lab rat... or maybe we could see what Hochlander thinks :)
 
I'm sure there would be some use to Qhayshrooms that could be found, since that is essentially what AV is.

It's worth it for the name alone tbh.

That's still Lamarckism, we would need to breed them in an Ulgu rich environment and then select the ones that grew bigger and more Ulgu-rich, to breed the next generation. that's assuming it works that way with mushrooms, it could be one of those weird cases like apples in which the offspring is a crapshoot (hyper something, zygo.ty?).

that been said, epigenetics do exist and it's possible that just breeding them in an ulgu rich environment could work, at some level, with potentially faster results.

#Lamarckdidnothingwrong.

Lamarckism is certainly a losing bet with RL biology, but this is Warhammer where if you rub the glowing green rock on a squirrel it might develop tentacles and a taste for blood. I figured the already magic sensitive shrooms to raw magic it might induce some small mutation even though the substance is not normally mutagenic like warpstone.
 
Voting is open! All hail the banner! All hail Xon!

[X] Spell name - Rite of Way
I prefer this to the version with her name. Simple, punchy, to the point. A+ punning, Alliterate.

[X] Greet and get to know the Wizards joining the Expedition as they arrive at Praag.
Let's find out who the actual fuck answered our call, and also say hi to Horstmann, a totally legitimate and unsuspicious fellow.

[X] Adela, to see how her gradual nepotistic takeover of the Karag Nar Gunnery School is going.
The Celestials told us to keep an eye on the Gunnery School, and I like Adela. We've invested a fair amount into her education (we had Johann train her, we collaborated on research with her and wrote two papers), and I'd like to see how it's going.

[X] Spend some time exploring the Karak now that everyone has spread out into their hopefully permanent Clan Halls.
We won the war. Belegar's negotiations with Thorgrim won the peace. I want to see what it's like to live in this place we've helped build up from nothing, now that the dream of thousands of years of exile has been achieved. This is what we fought for: maybe not from our perspective, but from the perspective of tens of thousands of Dawi.

I swear, Mathilde is going to be hated by the people who have to say all of her contributions with a straight face.

So historians probably.

The running gag is that at some point we will have to deal with this:

I really like the new voting thingy. Wonder if they can add a scheduled vote post too? Probably not, but it's fun to dream.

[X] Spell name - Rite of Way
Rite of Way is the right way. I like MRoW too, but I'd be more inclined to vote for it if it was MEoW instead.

[X] Greet and get to know the Wizards joining the Expedition as they arrive at Praag.
[X] Join Hubert and the Winter Wolves for the final leg of their journey to Praag.

These all seem fun. Might be a hectic ride trying to catch all of them though.

[X] Adela, to see how her gradual nepotistic takeover of the Karag Nar Gunnery School is going.
I like Adela, but probably a good idea to make sure her nepotism isn't getting too out of hand. Plus, the place is supposed to be coming in handy in the future, might as well get a look at how it is now.

[X] Julia, to see what she has gotten up to as Stirland's most experienced spy master.
I'll keep voting for her until we see her, she's the last of the Stirland gang we care about that we haven't checked on.
