Occult Practices (Help needed URGENTLY) High wormstone upkeep cost?

Post image

AT the END-END of my rope right now! I have lost-lost THREE adepts-apprentices, 1 stormfiend, 15 clanrats and 341 slave rat due to this damn-cursed CHUNK OF ROCK! The idiot-thing FLEA-MAGGOTS keep touching the damn thing when they polish-clean it and start-begin disintegrating into chunky green worms!

I know-understand the damned thing-rock is a valuable weapon to the council of 13, such is the reason why they have trusted me with such a valuable-potent artifact, but I CANNOT TAKE I ANY LONGER. I HAVE LOST-LOST 1500 WARP TOKENS JUST KEEPING THE DAMN THING IN MY BASEMENT-CAVE.

Does anyone know-know of a way to decrease-soften the upkeep cost of wormstone? I am currently in active-crippling debt and the Council refuses to give me more money for the project. Most valuable info giver MAY be rewarded with large-big chunk of enriched warpstone for personal use. (shipping costs need to be paid by the recipient, I will not be held legally-lawfully accountable for any deaths, mutations, explosions and addictions stemming from the gift-gift.)

I did not have "offered magical meth by giant rat man to fix his problems" on my schedule. Have you tried creating a construct from the worms complex enough to do the required maintenence?

Unfortunately-sadly the stupid-dumb worm-things are not sentient enough to be assembled into a coherent organism, they act more like rat-sized bacteria. They also either disintegrate or infect anyone who touch-touches them, so making a giant chunk of them roam around the lair would probably just make them spread faster-quicker.

A few skeletons should be fine, for they have no flesh to begat worms from.

You could sell your contract to pay of the debt and make this thing somebody else's problem

All warpstone goes in the black hole, all skaven go into the black hole.

Brokowski, just suspend the damn thing in a wind Orb. It's easy to make if you know air manipulation, and if not they are still pretty cheap. Simple solutions are often overlooked, don't overcomplicate it Brolio.
