Well, yeah, castles are usually well-defended, it makes sense that they are hard to steal without violence.

You know, I wrote this, but upon reflection this isn't actually surprising at all.
Ranald is the God of Deceit and Lies, yes, but inbetween his Protector/Night Prowler aspects and general dislike of nobles, he is very much also the God of Sneaking In And Revealing the Lord's Misdeeds For All To See.
Or, in other words, snitching on them.

Usually, yeah, but I get the feeling that if someone had tried to steal Eagle Castle as it was at the very start of the quest, not many would've cared about it going missing.Well, yeah, castles are usually well-defended, it makes sense that they are hard to steal without violence.

Well, the wizards weren't giving him grief, but the giant army of Chaos was, and one of the things the wizards probably wanted (or Teclis wanted on their behalf) was to not be bound to the Imperial Throne if there was a legitimate reason for a revolution. And the wizards always had the option of just leaving the Empire and letting Magnus deal with the Chaos Sorcerers on his own.

Kazador: *sniff* I've never been so happy to have no chance of winning.
If Slaanesh ever figures out that they can tempt us with the prospect of headpats, we're doomed.

Wait, what happened to Tobaro?
Mathilde happened to Tobaro.

We passed them for the number 2 spot of "best human dwarf-friend of all time." They were winning up until now because centuries of steady reliable good relations trumps less than ten years of some admittedly incredibly wild shit.
UNTIL NOW.

Imagine for a second how the thread would react if Roswita somehow managed to liberate two Dwarf Holds and surpass Mathilde in Favour.
Would we be annoyed at being overtaken? Yes, but that annoyance is way, way underplayed compared to the sheer joy of having something so great happen to a group of people in desperate need of good things.
I imagine Tobaro would react similarly.

Clearly, the time has come for Tobaro to unshankle their training weights, crack open the Fifth Gate, go Super Saiyan, unsheathe their Zanpaktou and show Mathilde how it's really done.
I expect to hear Skavenblight has been conquered in the next five turns.
On a side note, the Tileanization of Grungi in Tobaro is amusing.

It's not important, but I'd love to see Mathilde visit Karag Vlag at some point and stumble out hungover a week later, having made 20,000 new friends as the whole mountain partied like it was the golden age once more in celebration of life and freedom.
Something of note that I haven't seen mentioned in the thread; there has been talk about a hypothetical boon from Thorgrim, but every last Dawi of Karag Vlag knows, soul deep, that they owe Mathilde everything.
If Dame Mathilde Weber should ever call for aid, they will answer.
Mathilde has to be the best toy ever.

Personally I think he was grinning like a madman the entire time.

Ironically, the coin lets us tell that prepared story and be perfectly convincing about it, if we feel the need.
I'm not sure that Ranald the Protector would dislike nobles. Most revolutions/rebellions are lead by disaffected nobility or gentry who dislike the restraints that their superiors place on how they (ab)use the very real power they have. The poor are the fodder who die in those rebellions to serve the interests of the already powerful who want more power.
An awful lot of theft and deception is done by nobles as well; as they're in situations where they can take the risk or are insulated enough from the consequences that they can manage them. A medieval rural peasant is just that much less likely to be able to get away with stealing, lying, or be able to afford to gamble.
From this perspective, Ranald's ideal worshipper seems to be the the noble rake or cad who dabbles in revolutionary rhetoric. He's not a god of the poor. He's the god of the liquidity impaired or thrill seeking wealthy class.

Belegar has already promised to do whatever we ask of him.
It's hard to promise any more than that.

Eh, he would probably suggest Vlag get their own. This isn't his debt. If anything, they might owe him something for having told us to help the Expedition which led to our being there. That's pretty tenuous though.

He might, but he might also decide that just as there is a Master-book of Grudges there should be a Master-book of Debts. The Everpeak can have the grudges while K8P tracks the debts.

I suppose that works too. Man, Mathilde is going to have a lot of entries in that thing.
He WOULD highly approve of the rich nobleman with martial training and top class arms and armor doing completely nonlethal(which he can afford because he's fed and trained like a knight) vigilante work in the night, while being a generous philantrophist in the day.
Though his favor would be highly confused if said vigilante comes across a cat themed super burglar who makes a point to embarass and loot the rich and powerful....

Friends, I had a thought. A terrible, silly thought. Consider the following: the booksellers in Barak Varr who supply us can now boast of their extremely prestigious customer to prospective other clients. Being the dealer for the #1 living dwarf-friend and reclaimer of holds has got to increase your merchant street cred. Heck, they might even offer us a discount! And all we'd have to do for it is enchant a small item with an Illusion of our face and voice:
"I'm Mathilde Weber, and this is my favorite shop in the Karaz Ankor."

Remember to set the coin to Deceiver before recording it.
