Given the things Mathilde stumbles upon without meaning to, it wouldn't surprise me if a Borek ended up the same as a protagonist.

Probably futile, but I don't think we can handle this right now, and the original objective takes precedence. I know that leaving a threat in your rear is unwise, but I like the options of dealing with that later than the uncertainties of poking it right now.

Possible Discrepancy: K8P has only been lost for three thousand years, not four, hasn't it?
Also while I'm at it, I had some lingering questions, clarifications from anyone that remembers is appreciated:
1. Did the rule of Dieter IV end with his execution or did he manage to flee after getting deposed?
2. Can we recycle/reuse the Helldrake scales currently attached to Mathilde's robes if we decide to make a better version?
3. How easily available would it be to purchase Helldrake scales, if we need to find more? IIRC there was a roll for loot in Barak Varr when we first bought the scales, so that implies it's uncommon and relies on luck?
4. Did Kasmir return to take up his position as Stirland's Religious advisor again, I can't remember?
5. Was getting a Nagarythian diplomat stationed as Ulthuan's ambassador decided with a dice roll, when we gave them the captured Dark Elf working with Moulder? Was quite lucky, but not sure if it was from author fiat.
6. Are K8P and KaK the only Dwarfholds to maintain a standing airforce with which to project force independently, as opposed to Barak Varr's Gyrocopters which serve as extensions of their Navy and are attached to other units?
7. Who was the 4th God that Mathilde perceived when firing the Eye of Gazul? The first 3 seems to be fairly obvious as Ranald, Grombrindal, Mork/Gork, but I'm not sure if it was confirmed the last was Horned Rat?
8. Dwarven Slayers by definition seek their deaths in enemy territory where chances are they won't be able to receive a proper burial rite. Does the Slayer ritual performed beforehand allow their souls to return to the Underearth?

Random Dwarf: "There seems to be an awful lot of trees around here, are you sure we're going the right way?"
Borek: "Of course! I know the way to my own home, even if I was blind and deaf I'd be able to find my way back! See, there's a welcoming party right now!"
Welcoming Dwarfs: "Thank the Ancestors, fellow Dawi have come at last! Welcome to Karak Zorn! How fares the Karaz Ankor?"
I would argue the opposite, the original objective is Borek's pipe dream about the place that was swallowed up by the Chaos Wastes. That is not a phenomenon we can fix, maybe the Slann if they ever wake up enough but not us. On the other hand Vlag is still supposed to be out here where reality holds sway, there's only a spell to break to put it down and we can actually reclaim this Karak or worst case scenario they get lost in the Warp forever and Chaos does not have a back door into reality on Kislev's doorstep. Even ensuring that is likely a better use of resources than Borek's stated goal of reclaiming Dun.
Naw, usually we'd see an Outnumbered thing in that case.
Keep in mind that Slaaneshi have the highest raw skill mods amongst Chaos - Khornates are more well rounded combatants, but Slaaneshi favor the glass cannon duelist format.

A very nice way to put "superhuman berserker."

A lot of Slayers seem to integrate themselves into the regular military throngs of various dwarf holds, which would often resolve the problem, but it's still a good question.
There are four big metrics of what makes an effective asset in a Warhammer Fantasy-type battlefield:
1) Strength (more generally, raw potential to inflict direct physical harm on the enemy)
2) Durability/Endurance (ability to withstand enemies' efforts to inflict harm)
3) Skill/Dexterity (ability to reliably live up to the potential for inflicting harm described in (1) )
4) Esoteric Bullshit (things that don't do direct physical damage, but still make a significant difference)
Khornates balance (1), (2), and (3) fairly well; their champions may be berserkers but they wear armor and otherwise have respectable defenses and tactical competence, stipulating that their tactical objectives usually involve maximizing for bloodshed and honorable combat.
Nurglites focus heavily on (2) and (4), Tzeentchians on an extra helping of (4) with maybe a side order of (3), and Slaaneshi on (3) with a side order of (4).

They're also highly durable and can replenish themselves by killing. Their only weakness is a lack of magic.

Its really weird that Khorne is into honoranle combat. Is that a thing?

Guys, if Vlag is still holding out then clogging the ways tones might well de-power defenses that they're relying on to survive in there.

Khorne is a god of violence but he's also a god of honor, that's also why he hates magic, he views it as a form of trickery and cheating and that's why Khorne champions and Daemons often have anti-magic traits.

Like many things in Warhammer it depends on the depiction/edition, but generally yes.
Though it's probably more accurate to say that Khorne values strength. If you're one of his servants, you shouldn't be so weak that you need to cheat, and if you're fighting something that's weak enough that it needs to cheat you need to up your game and fight something whose skull is actually worth something.

Others may have said it already, but leaving something like that at your back, would be kinda suicidal.
Sure there is a possibility that nothing happens, but on the other hand, if something follows us from the Warp Karak it would make the whole expedition even more ridiculous dangerous than it is already.
Yes, doing something right here and now, might be dangerous as well, but at least we can prepare.

This has already been discussed.
The original lore for the chaos gods was they were corrupted gods of other things as well as there main thing.
but that one aspect took over.
Khorne was the god of War, Honor and blood.
Honor is still there, it's just that it's not as important as war or blood.

"Well of course this was a plan years in making, why else would she have gone to all those Waystone lectures years ago, with permission from the highest officials?"
"Oh, you became the God of entire race?" Mathilde asked Sigmar. "How cute," said the Goddess of Secrets and Magic, Friend-Goddess of Hope and Change, World-We of Wisdom and Learning.

Nah it's pretty clear the chaos forces have banjaxed the waystone node in Vlag for their own purpose there's no power getting to the runic defences from that, now the ambient magic in the air is another thing entirely.
