We should leave Egrimm until a turn where we check on other wizards, so as to not raise his guard, if he's doing something shady.
 
Spend time getting to know:
[X] Head Ranger Snorri Farstrider
[X] Asarnil the Dragonlord
[X] Deathfang
[X] Magister Egrimm van Horstmann

Become involved with:
[X] Hunting

Given how absolutely fascinating Cython turned out to be, chatting with Deathfang is my highest priority here.

I wonder if Asarnil will feel like we're snubbing him if we just choost to talk to Deathfang but not him lol. Should be good for Deathfang's ego though.

"You're telling me we've got enough food to get there, but nothing for the return trip?"

"That's one way to put it. I've been trying to convince myself that it just means Borek has faith in this deal you struck with the horsemanlings, and in the ability for these Knights to hunt and gather."

You know, I've been trying to give Borek the benefit of the doubt. To believe that while we can't trust him to be rational about Dum, that we can at least leave things like logistics to him. To believe that while he's desperate and doesn't grasp how bad the kislevite winter is, he at least understands the absolute most bare-bones basics of what the expedition needs to suceed. We've seen several examples of characters doing things that looked stupid at the time but turned out to make sense later, after all, so I extended him that courtesy.

But this? This absolute fucking idiocy?

...well, unless someone has a very good explanation for why he's setting forth without enough supplies to even reliably make it to Dum (he supposedly has enough to reach it, but anyone with a lick of sense knows there are always delays), then I'm officially writing him off as anything except a liability.

I want to see this interpretation of the Dwarf who could have become the least successful Slayer. Ever.
I mean outliving your world...
[ X] Magister Egrimm van Horstmann
The leader of the second largest group of wizards, probably the second best wizard in the group and one of the biggest worries
[X] Asarnil the Dragonlord
[ X] Deathfang
pretty much a packaged deal
A very different point of view from those we usually interact with
 
[X] Deathfang
[X] Magister Egrimm van Horstmann
The dragon and the wizard. Pretty important.

We know the other command staff, let's get to know the other guys.

I mean we did tell them we'd set up a trade deal with the local inhabitants to provide us with food.

So he unreservedly trusted that Chaos worshipers would keep their word. Yeah that makes him look sane.

Gorek may talk a good game about rustling cattle, but if I were a greater daemon of Nurgle I would just infect all the animals and plants up north and let the expedition starve on the way back.

Borek has somehow caught wind of Mathilde having the Liber Mortis and, in the event that we run out of food, count on us having to eat the demigryphs to the bone before Mathilde reanimates the skeletons.

To be fair to Borek, the original plans for the Expedition had enough for the round trip and then some, before a lot of hungry mouths and hungry guns drastically changed the equation.

And suddenly all those logistical difficulties that weren't Mathilde's head-ache are looking like they will become her stomach-ache.

He looks at Snorri hopefully.

Oh yeah, in most Dwarf Holds the head Ranger is the go-to guy for weird stuff.

as the journey has little chance to become eventful until you emerge from High Pass into the Zorn Uzkul

Presumably she will lend a spell when the convoy hits a river, but an hour or so casting Rite Of Way isn't really an action-grade time commitment.
