I think it might have been more that they could not reach the doorknob, that would have been the point of contact where the Star of Chaos was in our vision.

Seeing a "dwarven" tag on our individual magic wind categories is gonna be weird, man.

@Boney could "drums" work as an instrument?
Drums and drumsticks. Dead simple instruments. Dead simple to replace or repair too. Dead simply to play and use.
They are also some of the oldest instruments. Or ones that remain anyway. You could even make them out of bones.
EDIT: Or something like a xylophone; that was what I was thinking of.
Xylophone, not drums. Because a xylophone can have a set of 8 or 9 bars to hit with a thingy.

The opening had me a little confused initially, I did not have runesmith books on my radar. It's kind of hilarious that Mathilde once again stumbled into being a Big Help.
Also, this bit also shows just how close she is to Belegar. She doesn't even try to smugly suggest it was all a clever plan. Just straight up admits it was an accident. There's even something there you could take as implying that's a not too rare occasion. I'm not sure she'd say something like that to anyone else.
Maybe Heidi, but she'd be very smug about, and maybe make a point about how lucky that was.
I kind of feel like she's overthinking, and it was actually pointed at Kas, who may or may be a Hedgewise related person.
Normally I have to wait for the discussion in between updates.

Can someone help me out here? What's the other thing?
The Return of Sus Egrimm! Been a while.

This isn't what I read this quest for, but I welcome it anyway.

Pretty sure we won't know anything about that bit even with the social action. That will be for the Fire Spire haul.

So the drum itself would need to be tuned to an individual wind?

If it's not now, than it definitely could be. We've fought gods for Big R's lost temples before. This is extra sneaky Mork.
"More lost than you can comprehend". It's possible Ranald didn't "need" his own waystone network but rigging this first up to this temple in his name would be clutch.
It would have to be a set of drums and they'd be trickier to fix than you'd think but yes, it's plausible. Clapsticks or similar would work too.
Johann knows Mathilde has a different relationship with luck than most people do.

Gettung to know whats in the fire spire haul is what I meant, yes.
[ ]: Other (Pipes)
There are few instruments that hold more historical weight than a flute/pipe. It is easy to make for damn near any woodworker and more than that easy to adapt. Outside of drums it may be the oldest instrument. (Looked it up, pipe/flute is the oldest)
It has the metaphysical weight that simply cannot be ignored. Isolated shepherds use their pipes to signal to their neighbors, it guides people to safety among rolling hills. Not to mention the inherent use it has towards the military, pipes and drums strike up a tune! Battle is ahead, and when it meets those pipes lose their tune amidst the violence.
Not to mention since they have to be enchanted and presumably modified to recognize the winds it would be an easy sell to most villages. "Well your best player's gets this super special pipe that they have to play at least once a day. It will change it's tune if danger is about!" There is a reason (presumably outside of torture or they were the cheapest) the American education system put those little shits in the hands of fourth graders.
Honestly I can think of few better options than Pipes or a fiddle. Also that little catch with Egrimm? Might be worth spending some time with him on the social.

So, the goal is something easy to maintain, easy to transport, that won't be tuned out, and won't be to annoying to listen to right? And pipes are probably the best at that so I'd probably say the Organ but wouldn't just an actual set of pipes work? Like an 8 Piece Pan Pipe

Heavy use of the KISS principle is the best bet for keeping these instruments usable for as long as possible.

They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods...

Good point @Graf Tzarogy, that's gotta be a good bargaining chip for either the Asur or the Asrai, having a holy grove located again...
I mean who's taking it from the goblins? It's not worth much to either where it is now unless someone can evict the current inhabitants.
Wonder just what it is that we found here in the Forest of Gloom, that was sacred to Ranald back in the early days of the world, when the form He had was something that has been forgotten by everyone alive.
Magical penis alarms is a very comedically tempting idea.
I'm all for getting that back when we have the time, but it's not going to the Asrai. That's Mathilde's Ranald-without-a-moustache place now.
It would work, but easy to maintain and easy to transport are directly opposed here. An organ requires a big impact to damage and can be fixed with smaller, carefully-placed impacts. A pan pipe would require at least a tinsmith with steady hands and possibly recarving part of it from scratch.
I was thinking of a xylophone instead of drums, once I remembered what I was envisioning; a xylophone can basically be 8 or 9 things to hit with a thwack after all. Just run a drumstick along a set of 8 or 9. Not sure how many pieces a xylophone usually comes in though, but, eh.
That could also work.

I suspect that the current mode of thinking for dealing with the runkit problem is to just wait it out. Getting all the Runkit to agree not to pass on their knowledge any further then wait for them all to die of natural causes. Stashing the books away is part of that.

Ah, can't just use reed, wood, or bone for it then?
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You could, but they'd be even harder to repair.
