You're all missing the point. I am not incorrectly believing that we need to take a Lhune depths action. I am flabbergasted that the Divided Loyalties questbase is passing up their last chance to fulfill a request for Belebro as loremaster.

It's OOC for the thread, not Mathilde. At least as I have been perceiving them.

It just goes to show that just as the thread has influenced Mathilde's personality, so too has Mathilde in turn influenced the thread into being inscrutable and unpredictable like an Ulgu wizard.

The last time we had an actual plan vote was almost three thousand pages ago in October of last year and we have been planning what to do with our next plan practically ever since. None of those plans, or at least next to none, included the Lhurne depths.
 
But Towers are where elves keep their books. And the point of this library is to be dwarven-level defended - which means being in a mountain.

More seriously, Belegar practically asked us not to do this task unless we really didn't have other things to do instead. And I'm inclined to follow his intentions over following the role of our job.
 
Does Belegar consider it worth doing? Because to me 'do this thing if you feel like it' does not feel like a great interest in seeing the matter resolved and more than likely it will not eat into the next project because he will simply ignore it. Indeed I consider it likely he will ignore it even if we do the reports since it is unlikely that one halfhearted safe action is going to actually resolve anything. At least the sword training is more or less assured to show some progress even on a low roll.
Poking at the Lhune Depths was IIRC the second task ever given to Dreng, right behind fortifying the newly retaken Karak. At the time Dreng didn't come to us for Loremastery things in favor of some Longbeard, which meant that instead of actually figuring out the best way to deal with things they just lit it all on fire and screwed over Kazrik and the other Engineers before needing to find and seal some passages that were drawing air.

So when Belegar says 'do this thing if you feel like it', he's not saying that the thing isn't important or not worth doing but instead that there's no time pressure on doing the thing. Either way the new Loremaster is probably going to get told to work on examining the Lhune Depths, it'll just be a question of whether they get told "Here's what the previous Loremaster got done before leaving, have at it" vs "The previous Loremaster didn't get to this before leaving, have at it".

You are misremembering. Dreng had nothing to do with the depths. That was the clearing of the formerly grobi inhabited portions of the Karak, that is why there was mushroom to set on fire and make smoke. The depths have never been in dwarf hands and so the dwarfs have little reason to care about it beyond general paranoia of what might come out of them.
 
I'm so excited to finally see what the first step of research into Ulgu tongs will do. Even if this dead ends at least that itch that's been in the back of my mind about it for more than a year will finally be scratched, throughout the story there's been so many hints that it has potential, from the moment we crushed Gretals miscast using the knowledge from the liber mortis, to Rite of way its self being able to use Ulgu to indirectly shape further ulgu spells, to the windfall and other phenomena we've seen.

So hyped to see this.

I would vastly prefer if the 'final job' Mathilde did for Belegar was marching into hell to rip thirty thousand Dawi from the grasp of Chaos.

Additionally if trouble comes to Belegar's realm then you can bet your bottom dollar the thread will want to take a 'Foreign Relations: Involve yourself in the K8P situation' action.
Plus continuing to take any Belegar related social actions that come up.
 
It's been a long while since my last one of these, but I've been busy hunting for a new job and assisting my partner with buying an apartment. Here, therefore, are more typos slain.

This reads a little oddly to me; I would have written "you're welcome in the camp" or "you're welcomed into the camp". Feel free to ignore this.

with one confirmed dead and interred at Siegfriedhof, one cannibalized by a rival and probably out of the picture for at least a while, and a third fled the Hunger Wood with its army shattered.
The last part of this reads oddly to me because I am unused to treating the participle "fled" as an adjective, so I propose fled -> "having fled" or "fleeing". Again, feel free to ignore this one, I suspect dialect may be at fault.

"I take it you don't continue to rekindle that debate,"
I think this is an editing issue where "continue" would have originally occupied the point "rekindle" does now? I'd change continue -> care.

but you do raise an eyebrow at the books on ritual magic, as do the ones on Tilean history.
Grammar is a little weird here; "as do" implies that the books on TIlean history are also raising an eyebrow at the books on ritual magic. I'd change "as do" to "as at".

Oh, I was more thinking about making chestwraps and briefs look like elven lace for Pan, but Bok works too.
I'm pretty sure the spell only holds up to visual inspection. Besides, I'm quite certain we could handily afford the genuine article, and putting a perception filter on a gift to make it seem finer temporarily seems like a rather rude thing to do.
 
Oh come on, I would totally do that as a prank. Looks great right up until you put your hands on it. Then I giggle at you. :)
 
Well if you take out the obligation incurred by being paid and the personal obligation to one's employer what is left? Honest question what else makes a job important?
The oath we swore to Belegar to serve him as Loremaster, fulfillment of which requires that we do Loremaster things.

Now, I don't actually care about Lhune, and I, at least, am of the opinion that our oath does not require that we do this, because he said it was optional, but I don't think mere money is the driving force here.
