I was not expecting an empowered Champion of Khorne, I must admit. May have underestimated the potential lethality - was probably closer to 5% chance of death given Mathilde's skill at escaping.

That seemed more like a 55-60% chance to lose the duel to the Khorne champion * maybe 50% chance of Ljiljana not getting there on time? Mathilde didn't really intend to try and escape at any point. So about 25% chance to die. This was ridiculously risky tbh.

Also, fuck Ljiljana for not warning us that we were going to fight like this. What an absolute disgrace.
 
Chaos champions are no joke. Came a lot closer than I would have liked, but we pulled through in the end.

As for the vote, I'm thinking the Shrine because it doesn't seem chaos-aligned, and might give us some more ingisht into the divine (and another discussion topic with Cython). And jewels over silver because the leader of this encampment was slaneshi, which makes me inclined to think he would not be satisfied with fake jewellery, which means it is probably worth more than the silver. Silk would be mostly prestige, which doesn't seem worth it. And everything else is at least potentially chaos tainted, and unlike necromancy chaos is inherently corrupting, rather than incidentally corrupting, making it way too risky to mess with.

[ ] Jewels
[ ] Shrine
 
That... was far too close for comfort. I thought we were done for.

Now lets leave the chaos wastes. Tis a silly place.

[] Magic Weapons
and
[] Shrine
are probably the most interesting. Scrolls and Brass too dangerous, the silver and jewels too uninteresting.

RIP our research backlog though.

So as far as I can tell, we came a roll away from dying there.

Not that i disagree, but if Ljiljana was coming, would the champion would have had enough time to properly chop Mathilde up?
Does the seed not also return her from from mere death, assuming she said he will need to 'confirm' the kill.

Seed of Regrowth: An enchanted seed lying dormant in Mathilde's palm, this is capable of healing wounds up to and including death.
"It will trigger automatically should you be slain, or can be triggered with a mnemonic.

but yes, it was way to close.

Maybe?

Round 4, Ranald won and made sure that Ljiljana (who was on her way anyway) intervened before the Champion could finish you off.

The Champ wasn't going to let us sit and heal, but he might not have had the chance to rip the Seed out of our body before Ljiljana arrived.

So, you know, maybe two rolls from death? Still pretty close though.
 
Shrine. Magic weapons. Jewels. No cheating on the spooders for inferior silk products. Nothing that could get us burned regardless of whether or not Horstmann is on the level.

Well, I am pretty sure that we are not picking Silver, Jewels, or Silk, since despite being useful they are all mundane and we almost always go for the unique and interesting...

I am partial towards the Shrine, but what else should we pick? Magic Weapons or the Scrolls? I am not crazy enough to pick Khorne-Brass though...

Scrolls are still borderline heretical so I'm going to vote weapons b/c they aren't radiating dhar
 
Anyway, this prolly done Good Things to the relationship between Ancient Widow and Ranald.

Certainly did good things to the relationship between us and the ice witch. Prolly will be good if we ever do business in Kislev again.

I wonder. Hysh is anti-chaos, the main source of which is the sun, right? And the moon, though made of stone, is almost constantly bathed in sunlight, and perhaps Hysh, so it's not unlikely that it has absorbed a bunch of it, right? Perhaps that's where the mitigating effect comes from, the moon radiating some of its absorbed Hysh?

But don't you know?!?! stone is an excellent insulator for magic!

And for the final key roll it came down to, Ranald edged out Khorne literally by one - 86 to 85.

That's a typo, Khorne actually rolled a 75, since the base roll was 75 and it went up and down by 10.

Though to the person above who said we need to get our swordmastery up, we could spend those actions getting our pistol skill up and it'd increase our martial stat faster since its an easier thing to learn pistols to an intermediate level than to master our swordsmanship.

...Man, I wish we'd encounter an opponent against whom our belt of Reflect Damage (amplified) was relevant at least once. Alas.

The Orks were! We counter-suckerpunched orks a bunch of times with it.

I'm just a little sad we didn't seem to use the dragonfire flask. I guess in a blizzard it would have been counterproductive?

Or just regular reflection. The light of Mannslieb is still sunlight.

- Ranald vs Khorne rolls: 1st round, Ranald won and tried to use that victory to get an upper hand in future rolls. Rounds 2 and 3, Khorne won and used the opportunity to buff his champion, including the antimagic effect. Round 4, Ranald won and made sure that Ljiljana (who was on her way anyway) intervened before the Champion could finish you off.

PRAISE RANALD!

I'm pretty sure mastering our custom sword-style will have benefits beyond a pure martial boost.
