I believe that this has been suggested multiple times before and I don't know why nobody mentioned it yet, but weren't there plans made by the thread for something to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of Abelheim's death?

It turns out that we had the date wrong; that's next turn.
The most recent timed update before the Drakenhof assault is dated Ulriczeit 2476, but I had forgotten that those were two-month chapters starting at that date and Ulriczeit marks midwinter near the end of the year. So the final purge turn covered the last two months of 2476 and then the assault on Drakenhof began; this means Abelhelm didn't die at the end of 2476, but the start of 2477 and the ten-year anniversary is not in Turn 34, the second half of 2486, but Turn 35, the first half of 2487. Not this coming turn, but the turn after. @Omegahugger, I am sorry for having led you astray.
Hopefully on that turn there will be a social action to reunite with the gang + Roswita at Drakenhof, or something similar.
 
I managed to get rubbings of their runes, and while I can see while the Witch Hunters were coming from..."
Shouldn't that second while be a where?

Always handy with the citations. Thanks for the clarification.

Since I'm here I might as well vote even if my options are winning.

It's an issue anyone with basic familiarity with the Winds can spot: the Lore of Metal and the Lore of Death are both rather antithetical to natural growth, but removing the Winds from the equation would rather defeat the entire purpose of growing these mushrooms in the first place.
Hmm...
Does Shyish stall decay? That seems not quite right, but maybe?

Even a transcendent boon isn't getting us runesmith secrets.

Or, well, it might, but it'd cause a lot of damage in the process and I'm not down for that.
I seem to recall it was stated that that a Transcendent Boon could get us Runesmith secrets... but they'd remain secrets. We can't tell anyone else. Or use them in a way that risks revealing them.

Which is still SO WEIRD to me. I mean, the conceptual restoration of the undamaged form of oneself as a simple, low power basis for healing rather than accelerated regrowth?
Well... uh... accelerated regrowth requires a good deal of precision to result in healing rather than megacancer or something, while going all 'you are now restored to your perfect form' is a simple application of Sufficient Magic.
... still kind of odd the Jade College doesn't have some healing spells - a less powerful/longer cast but versatile sort of thing?

Thinking on the fungi.

Shyish shouldn't be TOO hard. Fungi already grow on decomposing matter, so replace the typical planter filler with decomposing bodies? That'd let the Shyish concentrate its action on the carcass without killing off the fungus maybe, since the fungus would be part of the rot process then.

Chamon...there should be some material that is compatible enough with Chamon that doesn't kill the plant. I recall fungi can uptake heavy metals, though I'm not sure how chamon works with metals in solution.
 
@BoneyM does all Dhar form on the actual world from clogged waystones and the like or does some of it come from the north and south as winds that didn't get refracted?

The levels required for these mushrooms to absorb the ambient Winds are higher than those 'natural' levels, and experimentation found that there's no level between 'low enough for mushrooms to grow' and 'high enough for the mushrooms to absorb it'.

Unknown. You'd need to travel very deep into the Chaos Wastes to actually observe the entrance of magic into the world.
 
Ambient Winds don't have any macro-scale short-term effects unless they're at extremely high concentrations.
At the concentrations we're using for growing the windsoak mushrooms, then.
Perhaps the bacteria breaking down bodies and breeding are simply at a sufficient remove to 'count', while it notices and objects to the mushrooms growing.

Not sure if Chamon likes self-replication, fundamentally. Making them uptake metal might help in binding, though. Of course it'd likely also make them toxic, but...

Very high Shyish levels tend to result in more dried, shrivelled, 'mummified' corpses. The exact mechanics of why this is is unknown, and successfully investigating would require a better grasp of microbiology than the Empire currently has.

Ah...so anything that works around that is at least Windherding, if not outright impossible. Makes sense it'd take a full action to investigate further.
