I've been sympathetic to the rats thus far, but attacking the Emperor is where I draw the line. My love for dwarves certainly has not returned, but if they're willing to help put the punishment to the rat-kin, I say let's butcher first and argue later.
Earl Jodas is hereby emptying his ale stores to any dwarven (or heck, any) generals who are in on destroying the rats. Let the Skaven suffer this year, and let them suffer mightily.
Coincidentally...does anybody have any idea what the rather high-ranked vampires are actually...up to? I mean, every week "and the vampire host swells by more bodies..." ...but why? Are they actually after anything?
And for those who care, that's all IC. OOC, I still love the furry little mice and the dwarves...as long as they're not on the other side of the battlefield.
