Well, we did get some speculative information on the movement of the plotter demon, and I'm not going to pretend I'm not tickled pink with a giant pile of money to replace the other giant pile.

We in fact got information that the demon is likely sustained now, by having sacrifices. So that's super bad.

Ooooh, I like that.
That neatly ties up a lot of somewhat-loose threads. Giving a self-cleaning silenced hunting rifle to an experienced sneaky Grey Perpetual sniper makes way more sense than making one just because we can and then trying to find a use (or a trustworthy buyer) for it.
Not sure I'd want to gift it to him outright, depending on how much work it takes to make, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker either.
...ha, idea: we tell we require him to take notes about any quirks he discovers about it, as he makes use of it. Then we can use those notes to write a paper on the complexities of enchantment-Windherding. THE PAPER BACKLOG MUST GROW.

To be fair, it's also possible that it's dead (well, dispelled, but you know what I mean). The local Moulder forces might not have been expecting a surprise Daemon attack from the west, but they should have the capability to kill a Greater Daemon. Doesn't mean they did, of course, but I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility.

The Kurgan are pretty much a superhuman horde powerful enough to make whole nations tremble in fear.
They are not to be underestimated.

They aren't to be underestimated but when whole nations are trembling in fear, it's not JUST the Kurgan that are moving.

We don't actually know how that fight went, to be fair. We know that Moulder pulled all their more capable dudes back to deal with them, so it could have gone either way. We know Moulder's not in a position to attack us, and that the Chaos Dwarves are busy capitalising on this too. But whether the Daemons won or lost remains unclear.
I think the correct way to refer to such would be Mountains of Madness
But is it thin enough to Mind Crush people sent to the Shadow Realm?
Anyway, I've got a new spell idea:
Try It And Find Out blinds the target to the consequences (both good and bad) of a course of action specified by the caster, before the target chooses whether or not to engage in the course of action.

If Mathilde can buy passage for the lands or find more information that would be useful for the expedition. Also I love the world building Boneym is doing.

That would indeed be great. I've tried to float it, but we never had the time.
Low-stakes action to avoid the overwork penalty?

If it still works like it did in his time he could make a lot of actions actually feasible instead of impossible. As his assault on Dum showed, he's almost unstoppable against conventional forces so long as he has good enough support.
Though he'd probably spend a few years beforehand making every modern runesmith cry at their own inadequacy as he outfits entire throngs for any planned offensive.

Jump as in Jumpchain, a connected series of CYOAs, which mostly involve the jumper entering a universe for a 10-year adventure, during which they gain powers appropriate to the worlds they visit. You may have seen some Jumpchain-inspired stories; there's more than 1200 published jumps so far, so there's a lot of material to work with. The incident that triggered that quest omake was the publishing of yet another 'Jump', this one focused around Warhammer Dwarves. The author decided to import some famed SV characters to add to his jump, which allows the jumper to (among other things) self-insert as King Belegar, hire Mathilde Weber to help reclaim Karak Eight Peaks, and then (on succeeding), drag the reclaimed Karak Eight Peaks across the multiverse along with its loyal population, including Mathilde herself and the Eye of Gazul.

I'm worried about these three and I'm hoping that a friendly ear might help them deal with the last battle and the stress of this expedition.

I've long wanted The Hochlander to have a Shadowsteed item, even if we bought it with college favor but I know that's not really gained much traction, so what about working with someone to try and make an item of Shadowsteed with The Wilds Undisturbed?
To be fair the Windfall is like a half social action, since we'd be doing it with the Light Wizards. It's a chance to interact with all four of them, albeit less deeply than in personal conversations, and help them out with one of their experiments.
It depends on how broken you want your bullet to be.
In the end, a gun only function is to throw the bullet at 'sufficient velocity' (ba dum dash).
[Rune of the Unknown: when held by its owner, at a thought it can disappear, and will reappear again when desired. If not currently disappeared, weapon can be summoned to the owner's hand from a distance of up to several hundred yards. Kragg thought he'd never find a use for this rune because no Dwarf would trust their weapon hidden away somewhere they couldn't see.]
if not currently dissapeared, it can be resummoned from several hundred yards. A skinflint assasin (us), can reclaim the bullet if the kill is made from several hundred yards. In all our quest, this is 90% of our engagement range.
When you make a single bullet with this rune, or all three rune in our sword for sufficinent killiness..
[Master Rune of Kragg the Grim: each blow delivers as much force as required to cut or shatter whatever it is struck against, up to the approximate impact force of a cannonball.]
[Rune of Superior Skill: any foe struck by this sword has all magical weapons, armour, items, and positive magical effects cease working for several minutes. Though an original rune, the effect is very similar to Thorek Ironbrow's prototype rune. Knowing Kragg, this is almost certainly deliberate.]
[Rune of the Unknown: when held by its owner, at a thought it can disappear, and will reappear again when desired. If not currently disappeared, weapon can be summoned to the owner's hand from a distance of up to several hundred yards. Kragg thought he'd never find a use for this rune because no Dwarf would trust their weapon hidden away somewhere they couldn't see.]
All three means:
1. It can pierce with the force of a cannonball
2. it can eliminate all kind of magical shield/armor/aura, so you can kill everyone.
3. you can reclaim the bullet, provided you're in range.
If you need size for all three rune, then perhaps the bullet need to be 50 cal or 20mm cal range. not imposible for a ulgu enhance witch to use.
It's practically a game breaker.

Yes, except you're talking about putting melee-runes on ammunition and that's the sort of thing that'll do nothing but set Runesmiths off grumbling. It certainly won't get you a runed weapon.
When a rune is stated to be melee-only, that means it's melee-only, it's not an invitation to try to find loopholes when the Dwarfs react to those with force.

I would struggle to find a definition for melee that would include bullets. Also, since this idea is obviously game breaking why would Boney allow it?
