Honestly the hardest thing to justify would be our Coin Collection and we might get away with "Of historic value" or downtime enjoyment like with the romance books as long as it's kept subtle.
This just makes me imagine Mathilde crying as Bursar drives off with a cartload of smut of variable quality and origins laughing menacingly.
 
Pretty sure our dragon chair counts as property without direct and practical use of pretty ridiculous worth.

On the other hand do trophies count? Did we ever pay for anything that doesn´t has a practical use?
 
Sixteen thousand gold coins into our library so far, huh? We might actually have a better collection than most colleges, given they have other priorities for coin. I wonder how much, say, the University of Altdorf's collection is worth?

W/r/t the grey college, the real threat isn't death, is that they could, if they had a good reason to kill us, also make all of our friends hate us (prob for same reason) and that would be much worse.

Speaking of, are we ever going to tell Pan about the Liber Mortis?

And lastly- I'll just say it, thread madness sucks. Lots of pointless debate on niche and/or heavily reheated discussions.

Post some omake!

They are a heck of a lot more fun to read than post #6583 about why we could take our allies on or if we should move on from K8P.
 
Happily, Grey College understands the value of relaxation and downtime.
Which is why our dragonchair, smut collection, and extra super luxurious bathroom are filed under "of direct and practical use".
 
It's too bad we didn't decide to romance Johann, imagine Bursar's expression should she find out our boyfriend is basically made out of gold.

Mathilde, innocently: "As you can see, he's of, ahem, direct and practical use."

Also Mathilde: "Why yes, I do sleep on gold. Is there a problem with it?"

I remember an Omake for Hochlander Quest where the players saw our chair and started wondering how we got away with, and the GM pointed out that it was excusable if you acquired it yourself. Which is also the reason we were under consideration for Lady Magister. :V

I also remember the conversation about our extra super luxurious bathroom that the emperor might envy, and Boney mentioning the importance of downtime, so as long as we did not go out to brag about it, it was fine.

Alternatively, if we married royalty, well it's hardly Mathilde's fault that Dwarfen tradition requires her to wear 10 pounds of gold and jewels on her person.

First instinct is no, cause, well:

"You know what they say, 'three can keep a secret if two of them are dead and buried in a properly sanctified Garden that you've checked on recently'.

And the danger that Pan might be a bit less skilled at keeping secrets than a Lady Magister of the Grey College.

Maybe something to consider if they're still together in like 20 years. :V

(Also, yes, the possibility that Pan herself does not take it well. That one is hard to judge.)

But, like. Pan had to know what she was getting into, dating a Grey. There's always going to be secrets that she doesn't need to know.

I want to give the Liber Mortis to Roswita. She's grown enough and has dealt with wizards enough that I think she's ready to have it, and her family have kept it safe for century upon century.

Not sure whether or not we should let Roswita know Mathilde is the one who had it, but I do feel like Roswita deserves to bear the family legacy.
 
The Belt Kragg made us is worth more, let alone the sword :V
They are holy artefacts, like all runic items, crafted by the most respected priest in all of Karaz Ankor, as gifts to a friend of the dwarves.
Anyone arguing that Mathilde can't keep those would, even without the direct and practical clause, have hard time justifying it.
 
You know, even after the 16100gc that we spent on books we still have enough silver to use it a bed, Dragon Style... I wonder if Mathilde has ver done it for shits and giggles...
Well of course we've slept on a pile of gold, what kind of philistines do you take us for.

Later, there'll be meetings and celebration and ale, but for now things are near enough to settled. With another extremely dubious look at the Warboss' former bed, you instead clamber atop the pile of wealth to perch upon the second-softest thing in the room: a rolled-up rug, presumably from Ind or beyond. To the sound of the grumbling thunder of a fading storm, you quickly surrender to fatigue and fall asleep.

Why burden her with that? I mean there is no inherent value to that book for someone like her except that is in the redacted version. Her father did not wish her to ever be burdened with it and now we are supposed to burden her not just with it, but also with the knowledge that Mathilde had it. I don't think she would rat us out as the potential second coming of Nagash, but why put that weight on her shoulders?

Look, it's about sending a message.

NOPE NOPE NOPE

This is a terrible idea.

pls no
This is a lovely idea. She's becoming entirely too resistant to the mysterious smug, and so we need to let her catch us nonchalantly reading it, clearly. Yes, there might be some minor consequences, but this is a matter of priorities.

The real question is, when are we telling Belegar? That sounds like a much more fun conversation!

No thanks. If we're worried about safe keeping, we can have a runic vault built.

More importantly the Dwarves know those belong to Mathilde and no one else.
There aren't many runed Swords around.

None except the Runefangs I think?

Her father told us we'd know what to do with it. He didn't say "never give this to my family" nor did he say that we should - he left the choice with us.

Knowing the truth of her ancestor, the reason he did what he did, and how he changed through doing it? Yeah, I think that has value. The redacted version has none of that, it has none of the truth of the skaven threat, none of his slow slide to darkness, none of her family's true history.

I do generally agree it would be better for her not to know Mathilde has read it. I'm just not sure how to give it to her and have her know how to open it without actually talking to her about it.
