I think the question was more that is there going to be a diceroll with the outcome "Panoramia dumps you" involved, or if the worst outcome is just "not happening".

'Not happening' is the worst case scenario. She's from a fertility cult, she's probably got weirder than that in her extended family.

By "the possibility", do you mean the possibility of relationship damage, or do you just mean the possibility successfully bringing a third in?

The latter.

Understatement. Kittybirds and giant wolves probably need between four and ten times the food a human does.
Deathfang… possibly not. Dragons are as much magic as material and their food requirements are only vaguely related to their physical dimensions.

@BoneyM Has Cython been observed eating? Or have they mentioned anything about their current diet?

Progress is progress I guess.

But the overall effect is much greater than the sum of its parts: any mundane blade would shatter long before it could mar the weave of the robe, and a tap of the brooch extends the effect around your full body while filling your muscles with vigour. The length it lasts is frustratingly inconsistent, seeming to vary based on time of day, the level of light around you, and another variable you suspect to be the phase of the moon, but even under the worst of conditions it lasts fifteen minutes - about five times the duration of the spell cast conventionally.

…good enough for the expedition but still something to replace should we have a spare moment.

Now all that stands before you and a finished spell is the final component: the way the spell travels from the Wizard to the anchor-points.

So we might manage to get this thing working before the expedition. But it is going to be tight.

Just that it finds Orcs unappetizing. Difficult to say if you can draw conclusions from Cython though, since thermodynamics have quite clearly left the building in its case.

I was thinking that that might be the case, but didn't want to say it. Doesn't surprise me at all.

I doubt that anyone in her extended family would be able to top an emperor dragon, though. :p
I wonder if we could keep them from figuring out we're not norscans. Keep all the dwarves inside the steam-wagons, hide all the holy symbols... I guess the kittybirds are probably pretty distinctive, aren't they.

I actually attempted to nail this down a while back. It's more like fifteen or twenty times as much food:

How much mass do you need to package this, and how much space does it all take up? This nice convenient table of American Civil War rationing info shows how much space and weight various rations took up and how much of it was useful versus packaging. They could store 163 pounds of salt pork in 109 pounds of packaging, 163 pounds of salt beef in 129 pounds of packaging, or 165 pounds of bacon in 29 pounds of packaging. The salted meats are presumably much heavier because they're brined while the bacon doesn't have as much (or any) excess water. Assume we'll have a similar mix and we'll end up with about 3:2 useful meat to packaging or 3:5 useful meat to total stored mass. In other words, those 6,000 kilograms of raw meat will be about 10,000 kilograms of barreled stuff.

(For comparison: A horse would need ~2000 kg of rations for the duration of the expedition; almost all of that would be useful mass, rather than packaging like barrels, as wheat and grain are way easier to store than meat. A human, going again from the table of civil war ration weights and bulks, would need <1000 kg total mass, including not just packaging but also toiletries, coffee, and alcohol.)

They've probably never seen demigryphs and we've implied that the mounts are in fact mutated humans. Honestly the weirdest thing about them will be how consistent the "mutations" are, Chaos mutations tend to be rather, well, chaotic.

A lot of the time chaos will herd together those with similar mutations, especially if the mutation is useful, just to see if they can get more of it.
