Ah. So they will be at the fortification, but not literally the main part of the walls of the fortification? I assume they will function as keeps behind hastily formed (Dwarven) stone palisades.

Good point, but we have nobody to deplete the wind of Death.
Odds are they sold their souls to Khorne (diametrically opposed to Slaanesh, and much more palatable to dwarves than Tzeench or Nurgle) if they sold them at all.
So we would get Khornate slayers, who are just as likely to fight us as to join us and fight everyone else.
Slaaneshi Dwarves would probably focus on drink and artifice, and maybe psychoactive chemical warfare and napalm as a combination of the two.
Albeit their ruined front gate IMO means that there are no Slaaneshi dwarves - they would not have left it that untidy.

On the other hand if all they have to sustain them is Shyish, well, it's not exactly known for its nurturing qualities.
Imagine Dwarven perfectionism, but taken up a notch. 185 years is probably not enough for any masterwork piece to be declared finished by a Slaaneshi Dwarf artisan. If "finished" is even still a part of their language.
If that were the case the internal siege would already be done and over, with one of the two factions having emerged victorious. Khornate Slayer Dwarves wouldn't stay behind fortified walls for a century. Or I guess timey-wimey Warp-stuff could mean that they only just converted and are sallying out screaming blood and skulls just behind fleeing Slaaneshi forces.

[x] Fortify the road to Kislev to keep the Daemons isolated from population centers.
I want to point out that while fortifying in front of the Karak has its share of demerits, we do have a Dragon Breath magic item that we can use unexpectedly for when a massive assault occurs at the gates.
Certainly, they would expect the dragon to breathe fire, but Matty would not be the one they expect to glass the demonic chaff — or better — with fire. It mitigates the early initiative of the Slaneeshi spawns, which is a good thing considering that initiative is the name of the game for them.

Good with these three, less good with the fourth, nope on the fifth. As always, can be subject to change.

How so? It all seems like pretty straightforward logical inference to me, other than maybe guessing how long it would take the daemons to dissipate.

I have no idea how long Deamons would take to dissipate or how fast they could travel. Seems like uncommon knowledge to me. Or the bit about being able to stay longer if they kill people, I don't think anyone in the thread brought that one up.
Daemons being able to stay longer through sacrifice or possession is something most priests of say Sigmar would be able to tell you. It's in their holy texts. It shows basic understanding of Chaos sure, but not even as much as Mathilde's lessons in the Colleges involved.

Shyish is totally Tsun, and once you get past the hard shell, it's going to nurture you... forever.

That would require actual knowledge about how to use Shyish to wield Dhar. Sure, the daemons won't have any scruples about it, but the chance that they have a few Necromancy hobbyists among their numbers seems slim.

Well, the road is not a bad point to fortify but the entrance is better

I kind of prefer harassing to fortifying the road, but the road is better than the karak in my view.

Some rereading:
I think it would be a good "objective" indicator that someone is at the magic level of an LM. A magister has mastered their magic, but an LM lives it. Of course, it can't ever be an actual criterium, because then you'd get people who really shouldn't trying it.
Given the events of the Expedition, the demand for wizards may explode. Can't argue with retaken Holds. And they'll talk to K8Ps first. That makes founding a College Branch much more useful, though it may develop on its own.
I wonder if she set those rugs up for this situation in general, or if she first carefully arranged some rugs to carefully shove the books onto.
@BoneyM Mathilde wasn't able to read other magic users, because they're one color no matter what they feel. Is the skaven sorcerer an exception because he uses dhar and Ulgu?
We never went back to this. Sounds like a research topic that could not possibly go wrong.
Gehenna is just so great. I wish I could think of some reason to have her around. She's one of my top favorites, despite having all of two scenes.
Johann is also great when he's having fun with his mom/big sis.
This sort of casual magic for everyday use is kind of recent.

I love that K8Ps has become the Wizard Place for dwarfs.

I wanna highlight this, because it's just such a great line. It tells you something about his past, his present, his expected future and even a little about Mathilde, because it's her perspective. There's a whole character arc in that single line.
Mathilde is such a nerd.

Mathilde probably had to figure out the whole puberty stuff herself with books and maybe some older apprentices. That sounds pretty plausible for her behaviour.

Belegar is a good guy. I guess dwarfs have to get good at caring for stubborn people.

Im fine with most choices but I absolutely wont risk the steam wagons. They are a lifeline for the expedition, both for our supplies and to ferry possible survivors back. Our primary mission is still Dum.

1: we are a cavalry heavy army: chokepoints are not to our advantage and demmonettes are better then mathy in a brawl.
2: the longer we can avoid the engagement, the weaker they will be, fortifying at the entrance is fighting them at full strength.
lets give them time to weaken.
