Hmm, I wonder what the Ogres who bought all the livestock are up too? We were told they had been pushed out of their territory—by what? And where would they go? I wonder if they'll cross our path at some point.

I haven't decided when the snippet will be part of the threadmarked chapters, but I don't like the idea of a temporary threadmark on it. Those that just want to read the story should be able to, instead of having it interrupted by the more meta stuff like previews and teasers and whatnot. I'll have a link in the notes of the chapter it appears in to the original preview, though.

Wasn't there a huge Ogre problem in Kislev not too long ago?

@BoneyM
Can we do as @Ericwinter
suggested?
Buy some Dawi Zharr Weapons now, then when we go to the Skaven place, kill some Rats with them and pull off a False Flag espionage operation, thus inciting intensified conflict between the Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs?
Even if we do not mount a raid and rescue, more fighting between evil factions only benefits us.

The Zorn Uzkul turning into an active warzone has a bunch of possible scenarios that would hinder the Expedition and very few that could help.

So we would need very good rolls then! ^_^

Could we feasibly pull off such an operation during the return from Karag Dum? I doubt Mathilde would be in any shape or mindspace to do such a thing after whatever we experience up there, but we ought to live up to our new Dwarf reputation.
Would Asarnil and Deathfang recognize the Magic Seeds if we showed it to them?

I think people are very heavily underestimating the competence of the enemies here. This is the sort of thing Mathilde spent weeks pulling off against Orcs, and people are talking about her doing it in a matter of hours while she's in the neighbourhood against two of the factions that most often pull this kind of thing against themselves, and they're already on high alert and extremely honed by the tricks and schemes they've been pulling on each other for forever.

Every variation of the question "can we do X on the way back" can be answered with "it depends on what state Mathilde and the expedition are in on the way back, which might be very poor indeed".

But the items are already in the hands of Chaos-aligned factions, and what the chaos NPCs are getting up to is "sell them for money". And I'm not aware of any special recent Chaos raiding attempt giving them an unusual amount of things like this, so I think the reasonable assumption is that Chaos has stuff like this passing through their collective hands every few years. Mathilde is seeing a random sample, not a unique opportunity for Chaos.

If it's a lizardman thing... Well, it's probably not an outright Old One relic but it's almost certainly a slann relic. If anyone's got good enough anti-scrying security to defeat Gold Wizards, it'd be him... and I'm worried for Johann because his magesight is all he's got so if anything screws with that he's really in trouble.
But I may be being paranoid.

It gets better, because I think you can read it a little deeper than that.
The List has an order to it, after all, and it wouldn't surprise me if that order was chronological. So, for instance, when you get: "gilded skulls made of black bone, anything from the Temple-City of Zlatlan, any mummified bodies of large, frog-like beings"
Then first you had those vampire's skulls floating around, afterwards then someone stole from Zlatlan and made a mess, and once the vampire coast really got going then someone dragged a relic priest in and that was a whole affair all of its own.

Even one being asleep is a terrible idea. Because Lizardmen will go to any lengths to get one back. Any. Lengths.

Does Max know the spell as well or is it just Johann?

So I'm concerned that we seem to be collecting one of these.
And that the Dwarves at the gate might catch us with the thing they said wasn't supposed to go in here.

So, my thoughts on the nut and my reason for not buying is actually because of the buyer, what with not giving us information or stopping smirking at us I can't help but feel he's looking at us as an idiot monkey who he's about to scam out of so much money for a fairly potent and impressive looking but not actually worth near 1000 gold magical seed. Even if it is a seed from the Oak of Ages I don't think we actually know how fast the tree produces said nuts, it could be that hundreds of these things are collected to by the elves and for all it looks impressive is fairly rigid in use. Valuable, but a rip off.
Meanwhile, the arm is looking to be a god damn lizardman/Old One artefact being sold by an ignorant barbarian (and I mean that literally) merely for its value in terms of raw materials. I don't think you can actually get any more 'bargain' on magical items than that and even if we're unlucky those raw materials happen to be gold and the exact magical properties are a mystery box that still looks like a good gamble. Better than the Elgi certainly.
...and Ranald knows we should give the Gambler some worship here if we can't worship the Protector. For now.
