Huh, curious how he's a Witch Hunter but his Intrigue is pretty sub-par.

Still, holy shit, that must have been a pure-blooded Vampire to pull that kind of force off. Just leaving a noteworthy noise on a door that thick is a ridiculous amount of power.

The perils of a family business - you end up in it whether you're good at it or not.

Luckily, books smarts, marksmanship and insane combat abilities meant he was still damn good at it, just in an unconventional way.

He, she or it retreated before the Greatswords were in line of sight.

Any noteworthy damage to the door?

empowered mortal servants of the vampires, perhaps? I've never encountered a Von Carstein that bothered, but some of the other bloodlines do.

So it's possible that the infiltrators in the castle aren't actually connected to the Von Carsteins who stole our ledgers (unless the Von Carsteins teamed up with someone else). Is it possible that there's more than one conspiracy going on here? And if so, would Regimand be part of one of these conspiracies or would he be part of yet another group?
 
Maybe we can ask van Hal in the private meeting if he can recommend any potential lieutenants he trusts?

I actually like this idea.

Ask Wilhelmina too.
And ask what's up with the East Wing. (I know it's been on our action choices, but I'd like to get a shorter-than-a-month summary.)

He might, if we say it's for a proper enchantment laboratory, so we can work on the swords! Also ask him what he wants done with those swords now that we know they're basically volatile piles of Shyish.

Von Carsteins are capable of empowering mortal servants, but are ideologically opposed to it because if a mortal servant deserves empowering, they should be made a vampire. Lahmians need trusted servants capable of going around during the day, Necrarchs like experimenting on the living as well as the dead, and Strigoi often do something similar with their ghouls.

You can add a request for information about it to either the normal or the private report.
 
Rumors are going everywhere now that the escorts had witnessed derpwizard in Count's coat. Intrigue 8 isn't that bad, he is just more suitable for field work. :V

Or the Von Carsteins are not actually behind the ledger-theft.

Maybe the noble we interrogated was decieved by a Lahmian posing as Von Carstein because those have a big reputation in the area?
 
So does anyone want to recommend a particular martial candidate to Van Hal? I personally favor the pistoleer since a lack of caution can be dealt with if it doesn't kill him while I see the other two being problematic. Overzealousness when the force of morr could be such a useful military asset could compromise the defense of stirland and the engineer is probably going to be taking maluses for the minor project that need to be done because of how much stir land has deteriorated.

Thoughts?

The Engineer is a gamble. I don't like him much because he doesn't have any clear benefit to actually commanding the army, but he could pay off in the long run.

I don't think the Pistoleer would be too good in command either, leading from the from is good and all, but Marshal is mostly logistics and troop management. Him dying from his own recklessess puts us in a terrible spot.

If the other guy can reign in his zealotry he'd probably be the best choice in my opinion. If he can't he rapidly becomes the worst though. We're not really in a position to take the "point in direction" approach that usually comes to dealing with zealots and they're an incident waiting to happen half the time. Plus we're a wizard. He's not going to like us.

I'd pick the Pistoleer personally. Less unknowns with him.

I favour the knight, personally. He will probably try to fill the officer ranks with sigmarites, but that isn't too bad as we are already building our army from almost ground up (with the previously hired officers being involved in mass fraud). As long as count makes it clear he isn't to go look for trouble with the morrites, the downsides should be manageable. In exchange, he is trained in dealing with our sort of problems and brings knightly order connections.
 
@BoneyM can we push for the other two candidates to stick around in other positions? Specifically I want to give the Engineer to be given a steady income and tell him to go wild.

^this.

I might have been overly negative stating my opinion of him, but that's just my dislike of zealots talking. He probably is the best option without taking that into consideration.
 
Him pissing off the morrites in our army and in Stirland recruits can be really bad it could lead to resentment or mutiny if he decides to push to far he would have to be watched closely to make sure he doesn't start some shit with the other faiths
