Hey, just knowing the stuff isn't something Mathilde would have a problem with. She'd have pointed questions how it was learned though.
Which is exactly why she keeps her necromancy knowledge mostly hidden

The trouble is, Chaos now knows the jig is up and they've been uncovered. They aren't just going to passively sit there for years until a whole lot of wizards and a proper army show up. Giving Chaos years to figure out its next move is bound to be bad news.
That's a 'no'. Dealing with it later is something to plan later.

How workable would it be to take Karag Dum, block the Waystone, hold the hold for a few days, unblock it and leave? Scouring the place for survivors and artifacts would take time anyway, so we would have to defend the place anyway. Or, I dunno, blocking a Waystone on the way there, and then unblocking it on the way back.

Any side-effects from the clogging?

I think the Colleges (and everybody else) will move on this quickly. Everyone knows how bad a demon army in their backyard is.

Just quoting our waystone teacher here so everyone knows the rules.
And that we'll be breaking it

They would have to come out and do it.
How much time can we afford to spend on this project?

Blocking a waystone shouldnt break it irreperably. Are you saying then that mathilde doesnt have the knowledge to do so in anything other than a totally destructive manner?
Figured from previous examples both in quest and out that we could temporarily block it. That would mean we would have to hold out long enough for the daemons to disperse if we pull it off or what ever forces they have on hand in vlag would unplug the blockage.
The beautiful thing about it is that the daemons will just dissolve on their own (after a few days) if forced out of the aethyr. If there are dwarves inside stubbornly holding out, they're instantly relieved and able to reclaim their karak once the daemons pop out of existence.
Hear that gentlemen? Time to steal a dwarven hold back from the enemy.
[x] Enter the hold.
[x] Enter the hold.
If we do it, we'll have to defend the clog for about a week, and then go check on Vlag, derailing the expedition.
If we don't, we might just have tipped the hand of a powerful sorcerer sitting on 200 years power supply.

Boney has said "Nothing that manifests over a matter of days" to this.
If they climb out of the warp and scour an entire mountain range until they find it, sure.
Every step in there is doable, but it does have a big honking question mark of 'what do the daemon inhabitants do when you yank them out of the warp and park them there'.
That specific question seemed to imply 'block it and continue with our journey'. Eventually the clog will turn into a permanent accumulation of Dhar that can only be solved by exploding it.

We should have pretended not to notice anything. Then again we would not know all that we know now then.

Okay, this is a BIG deal. Regardless of whether we directly intervene or not, after we make up our minds and do whatever we decide, we need to send messages to:
Teclis
Thorgrim
Kragg
Belegar (via Wolf/Pan)
Algard/Colleges of Magic
Emperor
Certainly a lot of major authority figures need to know what has happened here, and the more messages we send, the less likely worst case "we're blinked out of existence", or "memetic mindfucked" could happen to us.
Anybody else I'm forgetting? Feel free to add to this.

Clogging it seems to still be the best option, then.
When we're talking about clogging it, we're talking about clogging it at Karak Dum, aren't we? They'd have to travel an awful long way to come unclog it.
EDIT: Apparently not, per BoneyM clarification.

Okay, so we could cut the feed.
@BoneyM
The Karak Vlag waystone still exists, though it's no longer in reality, but it's still getting a power feed that we can see.
Can we use what we learned in our waystone class about how to prevent waystones from exploding in order to make the Vlag waystone explode?

There are individual Waystones between the Holds that move the energy along. Mathilde can find the next one upstream and muck with that.
Not while it's in a completely separate plane of existence.

There are a lot more waystones than you credit. They arent all city nodes.
There are minor Waystones between here and Dun, in these mountains.
The upside of channeling ([ ] Waystone Interruption) is that it can be started right away, not after we find the suitable waystone for a clog. That way we maintain our initiative. Do I get it right @BoneyM ?
