A compilation of snips after the dwarf infection was officially diagnosed as pre-natal.
In this case especially, I recommend that you go to the first post here and read it all in the thread. I skipped a lot of good posts that weren't snip-ish. Plus, it's just fun to read the thread completly losing their mind. That also makes it easier to like all those posts, as you ought to.

Slaanesh sees a magister poking at Karak Vlag:
"A magister?" sends a force of daemonettes to dispatch them
Mathilde: pulls out Branulhune
Slaanesh: "Mathilde the Magister?!"
Mathilde: unplugs the Karak-in-warpinator
About fifteen minutes of google searching and amateur paint editing and I feel like I've perfectly encapsulated Mathilde's situation right now.
"So, if I'm officially a proper, proven Dawi..."
"...Don't say it."
"And proper Dawi only worship authentic Ancestor Gods, as is right and proper..."
"..."
"Does that make Ranald..."
Belegar grimaces, while Ulthar scratches his chin, thoughtfully.
Mathilde thus achieves her long-held wish of legitimatising Ranald worship, very much (not) as expected.

So, of course, if the grey wizard is not particularly a thief, it might behoove them to go and procure the services of a professional.
I hear halflings excel in that line of work.

So, uh... does this count as growing a beard? Because that was the harder of two requirements to get Kragg's character sheet... oh god, he's gonna be pissed at Ranald for stealing a potential apprentice from him.
Also random thought, but I really do wish we had taken that Ancestor God worship option when it first popped up. It would be absolutely hilarious, in hindsight.
Notably, that's also the one point where a Dwarven god got a pretty good look at our soul. I don't think I've seen it mentioned that Gazul could be the source for this news... although it would imply that Mathilde really does have a Dwarven soul, and I'm not sure I want to believe that. It would be cool, but... eh. Don't even Chaos Dwarf sorcerers slowly turn to stone the more they use magic, due to that whole "metaphorical nature of stone" thing? If Mathilde has a dwarf soul, she would probably be turning to stone whether she got the mutations for magic or not.

You joke, but we could legit make this a thing if we play our cards right.

Here's another random thought: depending on where, exactly, Ranald theoretically stole our soul from, I wonder if the Ancestor Gods might ask him to start grabbing souls that fall outside of range for a priest of Gazul to return to them. Pay off his debt and whatnot.
That or, if he can get the grudge cleared by showing he stole Mathilde's soul from some unsavory place rather than the Under-earth, there's a chance—small but still there—that Ranald gets made an Ancestor God. He's got the whole ascended mortal thing going on after all, and Belegar did once liken him to a god of Rangers...

Well yeah but that seems to be an issue with their bodies. A sorcerer who is stone from the neck down can still blast off spells just fine as they are carried around by slaves. Your guess is as good as mine as to what would happen if you stuck one of their souls in a human body.

This might have been the least radical option they have, though that doesn't stop it from being true.

It still might be available in the post-expedition trait selection.
Which I expect to be decidedly strange.

Also it was brought up for a little bit and then kinda forgotten, but I think the reason Mathilde is getting called a stolen dwarf and Sigmar wasn't is because for all that Sigmar helped the dwarves a lot and built his empire from the ground to be their allies, he also did it as clearly a human and while hanging around in human lands with human institutions. Mathilde, on the other hand, has ensconced herself firmly within the Karaz Ankor, both physically and socially with two major dwarf titles under her belt.
Also, it occurs to me that the only two living dwarves who even know we worship Ranald for certain, or at least have a personal relationship, are Belegar and Kragg, IIRC. Maybe Gunnars, if he got the entire situation explained when he showed up. Hell, even Panoramia wasn't completely sure we worshipped him despite specifically setting up a temple in his name. So chances are one of them might have been consulted on this whole deal.

Exactly, it's their dwarven flesh that turns to stone. Mathilde's hypothetical dwarf soul can turn her dwarven flesh to stone all it wants, it has no hold on her human flesh.

I thought it was specifically metaphorical nature translating to physical nature? As the soul, unto the body? So a Dwarven soul would still cause even a human body to turn into stone under the influence of magic?
I mean it could be the soul obviously, not like anyone experimented with it, but it is notable than the curse of stone only affects the body, it does not make the mind slower and more stone-like for instance.

Aaaahhhh. Assuming that Boney is not still joking, in which case, nice, I am not a fan of this conclave. Don't like how it denies that a human could do this, and it's super bad that there's an actual grudge is declared against our deity. This feels like a 1 got rolled in how they reacted. I'd imagine that Mathilde would be fucking pissed.
If I can't have "Don't visit the Chaos Dwarves", I sure hope this thread can manage to not literally give them money. I would have to take a break from the thread if that happened.

If you are going to give money to a destro faction the Dawi Zhar are probably best, not because they are any less evil, but because they are likely to make a neat pile of it in some lighless vault and never touch it again.

It has been touched upon by plenty of others but there are suspicions that it's less "An Umgi couldn't have done this" and more "We can't allow ourselves to attribute all these victories (that should've been to a Dawi) to an Umgi. Thus she must be a Dawi."

I still think its just a legal fiction to allow her access to/not kill her for knowing "dawi only" stuff.
And we'll never know, so it doesn't really matter.
Most dawi - and maybe the empire - are going to assume it's true though, so it's the same thing in the quest.
It's going to be super weird if the Elfs find out during the vacation.
I like the theory about a dead chaos dwarf myself, it's sufficiently bizarre and explains why the Ancestor Gods wouldn't care.
edit: it also explains why she gets weird urges to sleep on piles of gold sometimes.

We could ask Ranald. He does like us quite a lot.
