Not even mentioning just a barrel enchanted with Ferment. Running out of drinkable fluids is usually of greater concern on ocean voyages.

Wind Herder Project! Barrel of Ferment and Taste of Fire!

Taste of Fire requires Water to convert into an alcoholic beverage. Ferment can turn A Liquid("no matter how foul or brackish") into a light booze of choice (wine/ale/mead are given as examples in RoS). Taste of Fire can make something that's already alcoholic and bump it up to the potency of hard spirits.

Party in a can! Just gotta keep the spells from like lingering in the booze and dharring up, but hey that's windherder's problem! 🧙‍♂️ :whistle:

Sorry if it's been brought up, but would it be possible (depending on the status of the Karak we're heading to, of course) bring back some sort of metal beams/struts/supports that are strong enough to hold the wagons to fix up that part of the road?

Take measurements of the hole size before we leave?

Or use wooden struts + Law of Form (Max), and he recasts it for each wagon, assuming the gap can be crossed easily in that time period.


Just trying to think of how we can get over the hole, or make it less risky.

That was on Rite of Way and Skywalk, not on other magical methods of making the road safer.

No, its for anything:

means no more questions that involve Skywalk or Rite of Way in any way, shape, or form, or any other magics intended as a solution to the problem.

There is no available magical solution to this, at least not one that can be done quickly enough.
 
My prediction is that we find a bunch of "Dwarfs" who are actually Kurgan who, over the centuries, migrated to Dum looking for food security and better living conditions. By this point the population is mostly made up of these Kurgan, who the actual Dum Dwarfs insist are Dwarfs.

Everyone turns to Mathy to ask how they should react to this, and she's like "nothing to see here, just normal Dwarfs. I should know, I'm a normal Dwarf too."

Mathilde is hardly normal. After all, normal dwarves don't actually succeed in retaking Karaks. She's actually a badass dwarf.
 
My prediction of what we'll find there will be determined by Ranald.

1. Tzeentch, JUST AS PLANNED!
2. Stupid Sexy Lahmians
3. To Everyone's Surprise, Mork
4. RANAAAAAAALD
5. Clan Eshin, yes-yes!
6. The Slann, somehow

You know, Borek really is lucky Mathilde was a part of this expedition. More and more we've been carrying them, and now our magic is the best answer to keeping people fed as well. I shudder to think what would have been if we hadn't joined.

Also if I understood correctly, this week is going to be the last one before Dum, right? Any last bets on what we'll find there?

Going out on a weird limb here and saying Golems. Yes those are a lost art. But what if you just... put the dwarf soul into the construct body? It's a bizarre thing but it could be something that protects against the winds.

Well, it's where Dwarves are said to have lived, and the winds of magic strip away the metaphor of "dwarves are stone" so something that can insulate against that seems likely.

You know, Cathay does have Terracota soldiers.

Not that it's really relevant to this, but it'd be interesting if the "don't turn to stone" protections failed, and they also couldn't escape, so instead they figured out how to make it so they can still function and survive as stone people.

Opps. Didn't notice that, ty.

Still depending on the status of the Karak, there might be something that can be brought to stabilise or 'shore up' that part of the cliffside road on the way back, depending on complicated things like size of hole, and weight distribution and stress on metal and rock said metal is attached to and...

Regarding what we'll find at our destination:

Edit: " Stupid Sexy Lahmians" Hey! Haven't seen those peeps in a while, wonder if any of them are part of the.... uh... crime community. Think any of them might be from Marienburg? I keep hearing rumors of perfectly reasonable criminals being accused of being vampires, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it, and clear these innocent criminals names.

Yes, personal policy with joining new quests is to read the entire discussion beforehand for maximum context. Just getting the threadmarks doesn't get you general thread culture and stuff, though its certainly understandable for people who don't have as much free time as I do. :V

Thread itself was also just entertaining. 'We have decided that Mathilda is actually, literally a Dwarf' had me wheezing. I'm sure seeing it come up in the story would have been funny too, but this was like dropping a bomb and it was glorious.

So being willing to read through 8000 pages of discussion on the topic probably makes it obvious, but @BoneyM your quest is great and I love it. Your worldbuilding skills are nuts, as is your ability to roll with whatever the dice throw at you.

You are literally the antithesis of the poster who didn't think they needed to read any of the earlier posts, including the actual story post.
 
Did the thread get linked somewhere with a lot of viewers? Noticing a surge of new people

BeepSmile's been online for very long razor - I mean like, why not both?

------
The questions, and the rational given for asking them were obviously dumb, disrespectful and thoughtless, but none of those exclude malice.

(I'm aware that malic sounds like a strong term, but that's what trolling, (even low-level trolling) is. Also the razor you're referring to uses the word, so I'm going along with it)

Grey's Law - Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

I usually just chalk it up to a new update streak, which often has the side effect of taking over SV's entire trending tag cloud (besides worm). Every time Boney updates I get a few notifications on threadmarks being reacted to from new people.
