If we're not going for Drycha, then this seems the most efficient to me.

Yes, Drycha is super powerful (I've been told), but Mathilde does not not know it's her, and maybe not exactly who she is anyway. Making use of the element of surprise - that she'd lose the moment she does anything else on the battlefield - to kill/chase away an enemy leader poised to ambush, seems like something Mathilde would go for.

Ah, I did missunderstand you then. Though I think any "do two things" plan will suffer from doing neither as well.

Not dealing with her now ( or at least trying to) will probably lead to someone, maybe even Mathilde, getting a very bad Drycha interrupt next turn. Spellcasters are important, but the Ulgu caster that is lurking on the edge of the battlefield , while also leading the enemy army, is even more important.

We'll, we can always ask. @Boney is this viable?

-[ ] When discovered, cast universal confusion at the Dryads with attached Smoke and Mirrors to teleport into combat with leader. Fake a charge at the dryads as well if range is not enough.
This way we disorient the dryads while also going for Drycha. There might be a better way though.

I'm convinced this is the way to go. The other obvious targets have people dealing with them but if the spellcasters get to fight unopposed it will mean very bad things for our allies.
I kind of hope we get to finally unleash the dragon flask here. Seems like a decent opportunity.

Do you want to just repel the incursion or do you want to kill Drycha? If it's the first there is no need to seek an encounter with her at all. We have powerful reinforcements coming, so we only need to hold and minimize casualties for now. However she is very likely to just escape outside our/Kislev's reach should she lose this battle, right?

Oh great, Drycha is one of those fans. "If they were important, they would've gotten an army list." "Of course Araby would lose to the Empire; that they don't have an army list indicates they're not really a great power."
Chaos' mockery of Chaos' noble Griffon.

So Drycha is not a worshipper, but she's at least knowingly participating in a plot right? The manticore is chaos only right?
But the elves are anti-chaos right? Isn't there a conflict of interest between elven genocide and anti-chaos? Also, who is "they" in "but they don't worship the Chaos Gods", her warband or wood spirits?
So just Drycha? There is no bad blood between wood elves and wood spirits that do not live with elves?

I have really big misgivings about targeting Drycha. This is normally someone that I would not advocate engaging without the deck being absolutely stacked in our favor, but allowing her the choice of when and how to engage is a big risk. She's uses Ulgu much like Mathilde. She will 100% use that advantage to tilt the battlefield when it's incredibly inconvenient for us. Maybe as a sneak attack on Boris as he fends off the Manticore, maybe to gank one of the ice witches as they face off against the threat in front of them.
But it's not like we're doing this alone. The forest is actively resisting her, and we've got a whole army coming to reinforce. In this case, my goal would be stalling until the reinforcements arrive. It's clear that Drycha was expecting a much smaller army. Once she realizes that she got a bear and not a rabbit into her trap, I hope that she'll reevaluate and cut her losses.
However, I wouldn't begrudge people for going for the softer spellcaster targets.

Forest spirits are magical beings that arise from forests. The more magical a forest is, the more and the stronger the forest spirits. Athel Loren is the most magical forest, and the polity within it it an alliance between Elves who split off from Ulthuan ages ago called the Asrai, and the Elders who lead the forest spirits of Athel Loren. Those Elders began as three, but Adanhu died and Coeddil went crazy and was sent to Tree Jail, so there's just Durthu left. Drycha is a follower of Coeddil and wants to wipe out the Asrai, and so is not really aligned with Athel Loren as a polity.
There are also the Eonir, the Elves of Laurelorn, which is a forest less magical than Athel Loren but still pretty magical. The Grey Lords have bound the forest spirits of Laurelorn to the service of the Eonir.
The phrase 'Wood Elves' can refer to any or all of the Asrai, the polity of Athel Loren, the Eonir, or the polity of Laurelorn. Technically, this force is none of those: it contains no Asrai and these forest spirits are followers of a now-deposed former leader of Athel Loren.

Drycha also knows that the reinforcements are coming, they aren't exactly subtle. It would be smart for her to strike now and strike hard , so that she is able to break this part of the army before they arrive. Defeat in detail and all that. And Drycha striking from the shadows is probably not minimizing casualties.
