...normal Expedition turns, or normal actual turns? Not that I think we would actually try either way, but I do kind of wish we could. War mammoths are awesome.

Speak for yourself!also there's a difference between having fun joking about something an actually advocating for doing it, thread would change its tune real quick if the option actually came up I bet

I have zero regrets.'fights tooth and nail for months for flying battle pony, arguably the best mount for a wizard that's not spending in-game years of AP training up a Grifon or dragon.'
Thread: I don't want another pat, shadow-stead is fine, its a waste of time really...

On the other hand hand, ❤️ 🐘 ❤️Initiating a feast dedicated to the Chaos Gods as our go-to option seems to me like a very good way to piss off at least-
1. Anti-Chaos Knightly Orders
2. The Dwarves, whose Norse cousins were very possibly killed by these villagers' ancestors
3. our bro Ranald
4. Ljiljana and by extension the Ice Witches and Kislev
It may also raise some pointed questions in the minds of the other College wizards present.
But do flying battle ponies have an adorable nose tentacle? The defense rests.'fights tooth and nail for months for flying battle pony, arguably the best mount for a wizard that's not spending in-game years of AP training up a Grifon or dragon.'

All that, plus the worst shedding you can imagine.Speaking seriously, a mammoth is about the worst mount I can think of for Mathilde, it has all the problems people have with the Pegasus, while not being able to fly and somehow being less subtle. And it's advantages nullify Mathildes strengths. Also we picked up a few new projects on this trip on top of existing ones. There is no reason to pick up a mammoth that we don't have have a beast wizard to help us with.
Bah, that's quitter talk.Seriously guys Mammoths are cute, they are not worth sitting down to eat food that was among other things blessed in the name of Nurgle.
You know, there is a way to cut down on those costs, for when we get our mammoth.Food and haircut costs going through the roof if we're getting a mammoth.
To be fair, I did suggest finding and freeing the Mammoth deity.Unless that mammoth is Angkor reborn it's a sunk cost fallacy.
Your adoration of cute fluffy things is both marvelous and terrifying to behold.You know, there is a way to cut down on those costs, for when we get our mammoth.
We can also do some of it ourselves instead of giving this ninja village completely into the hands of others.Adding this to the plan threadmark. This is definitely number 2 on list of things for the EIC to do IMO (after the inflitration of the cult of Kurnos, or whoever. We should act on info we get.) And I absolutely love the idea as well.
Here's a rough outline of the plan, and people with additional ideas please add on!
YAGIGAKURE NO SATO: The Village Hidden Among Goats.
PREREQ: EIC
PLAN(s): Have the Hochlander setup a EIC headquarters there. Then build a place to teach people to spy (maybe dedicated to Ranald?)
TIME: ?
COST: Many EIC AP, probably.
PAYOFF: Ninja Village
Also, if people have other ideas that aren't on the plan threadmark, toss them out. I've not dome much since the start of the expedition, so I could be missing a bunch.
Well... As long as the vote isn't closed we are only costing him productive work and IRL time, which might cost him free time down the road, which might lead to less writing time...Think I'm going to duck out of the thread for a while, it is moving too fast to keep up with. And since I *know* boney reads all of these, I don't want this to become a situation where he spends all his time reading and has none left to write.
Could you expand on this?We can also do some of it ourselves instead of giving this ninja village completely into the hands of others.
I am of the mind that, before the next big adventure*, it would be good for Mathilde to learn one directly damaging offensive battle magic, which means Penumbral Pendulum or Pit of shades.
I'd prefer to create our own Battle Magic offense spell.
Even ignoring my interest in a mist battle spell for the purposes of making it safer to cast due to our staff (and to be fair I've been interested in Cloudkill long before we got our staff) I like the idea of creating new spells to share with the college more than learning other people's spells.
If we go down this path I wouldn't want to do it purely through EIC actions. I'd start it with two actions (one EIC and one personal) and then I'd alternate between both of those as needed.
We could invest AP into developing a Fitness specialization which lets you run really fast by letting your arms hang loose behind you.
I'm pretty sure it's just thread madness and joking around.'fights tooth and nail for months for flying battle pony, arguably the best mount for a wizard that's not spending in-game years of AP training up a Grifon or dragon.'

It's a bit of a separate matter.Indeed I agree we need a battle magic before our next adventure but it seems you have forgotten one. An option that would bring one of the factions of the thread to your side in battle magic argument. A faction that I am proud to be part of.
And I would like to invite you to Apparation Binding and Appreciation Faction;

Yes. BoneyM pointed out what that vote really meant. So did other posters.
I don't want to be that guy, but for most of the quest if an action doesn't say that mathy will be in a group/create a group...Yes. BoneyM pointed out what that vote really meant. So did other posters.
