Well, his master did tell him he'd have to fight off arbitrary numbers of peasants if we goes far enough with gilding."Keep your silver, we'll keep him."

I love how there's a constant undercurrent of wanting to use/teach Necromancy. It's like Mathilde was mildly corrupted from fighting vampires and reading the necronomicon, but instead of hitting her directly it went meta and spread to the thread.
...Say, wasn't one of the option for leaving to go across the Great Ice or something? We should do that instead of trying to drive back over the uncertain road; then, while we're in the area we could check in on whether the Norse Dwarves are really dead.
I am a ok with this. We should continue to reclaim all the Karaks!

Dolgans are sort of ranchers, and that's a kind of peasant, and their numbers can certainly be arbitrary.
Also to thinking in terms of grey areas. "I must never touch Dhar" to a light mage is a clear-cut simple rule. Mathilde has grabbed dhar with her hands to ground a journeymanling's miscast, and she'd be willing to grab it again to use the second secret.It's a little hard to completely forget that you could potentially become the most powerful magic wielder in the entire world, raise nation-conquering armies, and even bring those you've lost back from the other side. Especially when your brain's, like, 10% Ulgu. She'd never do it; she's forbidden herself from taking even oneAPstep down that path. But a shadowmancer's mind is accustomed to what-ifs.
Potentially, anyway; whether or not Mathilde is willing to use the Second Secret is down to the playerbase, and generally it seems to be regarded as a 'break glass in case of apocalypse' option.Also to thinking in terms of grey areas.

Mmm, that was more (self-)deniable, grabbing a Shyish miscast in the process of curdling, with a reasonable expectation of (momentary) Dhar resulting from mixing with our Ulgu. Not quite the same as straight-up reaching out and grabbing Dhar, at least in my reading of the event.Also to thinking in terms of grey areas.

True, but I feel like there's a general agreement on the "break glass in case of apocalypse" with a majority being willing to go for it even if it was only Sylvania+Stirland, or only K8P, that was going to be lost - so to the extent that the thread is her mind she's got a willingness to do it, just a question of how much would have to be at stake.Potentially, anyway; whether or not Mathilde is willing to use the Second Secret is down to the playerbase, and generally it seems to be regarded as a 'break glass in case of apocalypse' option.
We won't really know until it comes to a vote. I hope it never does.True, but I feel like there's a general agreement on the "break glass in case of apocalypse" with a majority being willing to go for it even if it was only Sylvania+Stirland, or only K8P, that was going to be lost - so to the extent that the thread is her mind she's got a willingness to do it, just a question of how much would have to be at stake.
I'm not. Mathilde can state that she has never used Dhar, and I don't want that to change until and unless we really have to.Ehhh, I'm fine with using the second secret as long as no one is around to see it.
Belt will burn the dhar off, and it should be a fairly minor amount.
Does weaponizing a miscast and using it to dispel an enemy mass illusion count as using Dhar? Because we definitely did that.I'm not. Mathilde can state that she has never used Dhar, and I don't want that to change until and unless we really have to.
Miscasts aren't Dhar, they're just magic getting out of control.Does weaponizing a miscast and using it to dispel an enemy mass illusion count as using Dhar? Because we definitely did that.
It definitely does not, otherwise our master would not have been so open about having done something similar.Does weaponizing a miscast and using it to dispel an enemy mass illusion count as using Dhar? Because we definitely did that.
Even the second does not get you killed by the Grey Order, because Regimand did that, but it will have people looking at you like you are making a hobby of cooking grenades.Plus, there's a difference between 'I've accidentally set off a nuclear explosion in my hand, I might as well do something useful with it as I get rid of it' and 'I'm going to deliberately create nuclear explosions to throw at people'.
