So interesting tidbit here.

when the substance was borrowed from a tree in the first place

Drycha did make her current body out of the tree she came out of, this could mean that drycha can return to another tree or her main tree, whichever is applicable here. We might see her again.

No can do, those limbs are going to be Eike's staff.

That raises an question in my eyes: would Drycha's leg's general 'magicalness' better than the dragonbone's malleability when it comes to making the best possible staff for Eike? Hopefully we'll have an answer by the time we're to make a staff for her.

On another note - if our Dragonflask use goes well (it has a massive lead in the vote atm) then part of me very much wants to send a firkin of dwarven ale to Magister Wolfgang Scheunacht, the man who made it for us for his use or regifting as he sees fit.

At risk of being like, the 20th person to ask this, does ambient #otherwind make it more difficult to teleport? You said that Dragonflask is usable in these circumstances, but i assume there is still gonna be a contest roll. If Dragon flasks loses, will the fact that we just flooded the ear with Aqshy impose penalties on anyone but us(who get debuffed by casting it)?

No. The Winds naturally avoid each other, and most of the Aqshy involved is being converted to fire.

EDIT: ACTUALLY, Mathilde got lessons from Gehenna. Is it possible to bind Drycha?

I am horrified to report that there doesn't seem to be any reason why not.

~~There's only a few scant seconds before she teleports away. Hardly the time to speedrun a binding ritual that hasn't even been invented yet.~~

If we try it can we find out?

Should we Try It And Find Out™?

That would be one apparation I'd be willing to give up Nazgul for: a spooky Entwife!

i want to

i want to try

i want to find out

edit: I say this with love, @pucflek: your mind is beautiful and terrifying
edit edit: ya know, if we were to bind Drycha; would that not add another thing to our list of "things we can never tell people about, no. seriously: tell no-one"? And I for one think that the chance of being able to add to that list is worth the risk.

Let's try it!

edit edit edit: I've seen two votes for 'bind' - holy shit no! I was joking! "Bind" is a terrible idea! I love you all, but I'm advocating against this choice!

Nerdasaurus Rex · Mar 5, 2022

Man, if Mathlide binds Drycha that's going to look like some 5d chess right there.

"Yes, I totally mobilised the Kislevian army just to catch this one dryad in a pokeball and I got paid to do so by Paranoth."

How likely is this to actually work? IIRC you said that specific types of entities require specialized binding methods, and we haven't really gotten down to researching how to handle various apparitions yet. Would a set of general binding methods work?

Execute/Dumbo · Mar 5, 2022

It- okay, there's no specific reason it wouldn't work, exactly, but this is still Drycha, a wielder of the Wind we'd be using to bind her. There's no risk of Dhar, but there is the risk that she beats us over the head for the attempt.

We've just felled a forest it tried to bind itself to, while a god of that forest tried to intervene, there is probably enough green energy to tie together a treeman.

ITs actually going to be probably easier because until very recetnly Drycha was flailing around to connect to something thinking it would be forest. But Forest ended up refusting .

The only ones that have achieved something like this are the Grey Lords and they haven't published their techniques, so there's no research that can be done here. The only way to find out how likely this is to work is to try it.

I think we should only consider binding those apparitions or creatures that we could reasonably overpower given any other circumstance.

Remember that if a creature is bound, it can still "break free and attack you," when it is deployed. Binding a creature is not permanent victory.

I 100% do not want to risk this with Drycha.

Citation: the chapter where we learned about Gehenna's golden hounds.

Well we are Grey and we are Lord, technically, so 100% chance of success, right?

Chlof · Mar 5, 2022

The possibility of binding Drycha and taking her to Queen Marrisith or the grey lords is highly appealing to me.
