[X] Act normal

With the clarification that Mathilde thinks inviting all the other wizards to shank any incoming spell in the ribs will have better odds then just doing it alone, plus the earlier foreshadowing in the update about not tipping off your mark, I'm switching to this.

That makes to much sense to try doing it alone. Perhaps it fails and the traps goes early but we tried.
I have already voted for all options at this point, god dammit.

[x] Act normal
 
fuck it, if the plan is to ambush the ambush, then I feel more confident in this plan.
you realize that acting normal is going to bring everyone there right?. and only the leaders will know that there is something there and if it is an ambush they will ambush the entire expedition.

I mean I don't say it to reproach you. but it seems like a very bad plan to me

Could someone point out the WoG clarification where Mathilde thinks it's outright better to regroup with the Wizards? That statement would skew the portrayal of one option as the best, which I don't think Boney would normally do.

I can believe the premise is logical, but I'd like to confirm authenticity because I didn't see Boney ever bringing up this new information, and this assumption seems to be prompting reactionary voting in response.

Can anyone point me the so called foreshadowing? If its a good one, I may switch votes , but without it, I still think that the chance of catching the being flat footed with a fast alert has better odds than hoping it hasn't noticed us and ambushing it.

I believe everyone is referring to the section with the celestial wizard in the latest update.

Thanks, but I cannot see anything relevant? Unless you mean him talking about the strategy of acting when seeing the future, but that doesn't map to the situation. We haven't seen the future, haven't been nudged to Vlag by someone who has, and we are in a situation when there is a decently big chance our spy is already compromised so the parallels are thin.

Hey, Boney if Mathilde died could play in the next quest like a Weber?. I mean Mathilde had siblings, didn't she?

Boney already has the next quest seed ready. I'm really hoping that Mathilde doesn't die here; but if we're about to poke something that's been having a direct feed from a damn Waystone for the past several centuries, I'm not holding my breath.
 
Mathilde has not kept track of her biological family. Presumably some are still alive, but that's not certain.
I know but I would like to think about it and I think it would be fun.
Even more so if that distant relative of Mathilde manages to do such ridiculous things as her distant relative. Imagine how the dwarves would react :V.

Uhh, no? Act normal is just about the way we get back to the expedition. Once there, whether we tell people, what we tell people and which people we tell will either be up to a vote or be judged by BoneyM to be a non-choice, prompting him to let her do whatever makes sense IC and continue writing the chapter until the next significant choice.

Anyway, time to pray to Ranald for luck and fun.
