I think I blurred together 'as strongly influenced as' and 'influenced as much by'. Tweaked it.
There are several ways to translate it, the kindest of which is that she doesn't like male spellcasters. But yes, 'baby magicians' is on the table.

My translation of this would be something like "snot-nosed brat wizards", for the record - "bachor" is not a polite term.
That's OK, crone probably isn't a complimentary term in Reikshpiel and witch certainly isn't. I think it evens out.

Very bad idea. As far as I can find, the closest thing to a canon fate of Karak Vlag (the background of a narrative campaign - Hunt of the Vlagians - in a 2008 issue of White Dwarf) is that it got dragged whole into the Realm of Slaanesh and any resident not taken with it was hunted down by an army of daemons.
So, y'know, poking the site is probably a good way to get munched by a hell-portal.

Huh, that did settle a lot of my concern with Borek. He's clearly done the maths and despite "rushing" into this expedition, there's some sound thinking behind it.
Deathfang, on the other hand, seems to hold grave disdain for the "naturalized" Dragons. Heh. I kind of find it interesting in comparing Traditionalist Dawi to the Radicals.

So they're basically machines where you feed in gold and they dispense violence on a level comparable with the rest of the expedition combined, but unlike the rest of the expedition they don't require food or fuel. WOW. No wonder Borek couldn't say no.
That McGuffin would have to be enough to risk open war with the Empire and the Karaz Ankor. That's a big risk to take.
It is on the other side of the continent and provides no immediate benefits. Rather iffy as a Loremaster project.
That's protagonist hubris speaking.

Hmm. Implied but not stated to be the same entity...
We do apparently have amongst the best Windsight in the Old World, plus Avatar to detect divine interference.

Man i really don't like deathfang.
At least Cython was nice about being a superior being.

This one has to be done, not even really expecting much but gotta do it.
[ ] Ranging far ahead of the convoy
[ ] Magister Michel Solmann
[ ] Ice Crone Ljiljana
As for the last ones, talk to the other magister we've not said hello to, do some scouting further ahead and talk with the ice witch.
Per BoneyM we can credibly claim to have the best windsight in the colleges and possibly the old world currently, it's absolutely worth our taking a look.

Going to be voting like this when it opens:
[ ] Ice Crone Ljiljana
[ ] Magister Michel Solmann
[ ] Journeyman Cyrston von Danling
[ ] Journeywoman Alexandra Kohler
I want to finish doing a roundup of the people we're directly responsible for, as well as getting an idea of what Ljiljana is up to. In particular, I really want to check out Cyrston, because of this observation:

Now, one might say "but wait, this is a canonical character and is totally legit there," to which I would point out that we're on an expedition to Karag Dum with Egrimm van Horstmann and we have been actively told not to assume either of these work the same way they do in canon, and that's not even considering the notion that this might not really be Cyrston von Danling and might just be using his name.
if its a key of ice? or something like that, then ya, it is.

Personally I think we should go to Karak Vlag if for no other reason than the chance to work our avatar and windsight traits. Outside of talking with the Ice witch none of the other actions are as important at this point.
And yet, Mathilde failed to even notice Grombrindal.
I am very certain that Mathilde wouldn't notice anything, it's just not the QM's style.
Anyway, I am extremely glad that we had this chat with Borek, and wouldn't be opposed to another. It gaves multiple valuable insights in his character and outlook.
Furthermore, the better we get to know him, the greater the chance to be able to influence him, even a bit, when push comes to shove.
Also, let me just say that it is such a relief when characters aren't 1-dimensional caricatures.

mmm...I feel somewhat reassured by Borek and Horstmann, but concerned by what Deathfang said.

Grombrindal being a 'god' might be true but he's certainly not operating on the scale of the other ancestor gods and especially not the same scale as the human gods do. Mathilde failing to notice him is sorta meaningless, beyond that pretty sure this option was offered by the QM, i can't imagine the QM would offer it if there's literally nothing that could happen here.

I mean, that and the fact that we had the poor taste to court a debased mutant traitor.
But yeah, Borek seems more on the 'determined and focused' end of the scale, which was reassuring.

Strongly disagree. We should try to get our conversations with the movers and shakers on this expedition done quickly so that when we hit the actually dangerous part of it (the Skull Road onward) we have the AP to spare for scouting and adventures then. Speculative sightseeing isn't important compared to "hey, what are the motivations of the powerful wizards we're responsible for?", or the other four council members we have yet to talk to.

Which is why I'm perfectly happy to vote for the other magister option and the ice witch, the journey men don't need to be hand held and their impact isn't going to be as great. You call it speculative sight seeing as if that's a bad thing. I'm interested to see what BoneyM intends with this option I don't think it's being offered as a giant nothing burger.

So true, and speaking of Dwarf Infection @BoneyM Does Mathilde still keeps her hair loose? or is she using braids?
It keeps her hair secure when it could be a safety hazard.
