Warhammer Fantasy: A Dynasty of Dynamic Alcoholism

Nope, not at all, in fact. The item text states:

In Ulthuan, the egg of a Dragon is sacred, and harsh punishment awaits any who endanger or disturb a Dragon nest. In Naggaroth, a Dragon egg is naught but a potential source of power, and their nests nothing but cradles to nurture that power. So it is that for every Black Dragon Egg that develops into a hatchling, countless dozens more are taken and consumed, so that their devourers might take a portion of the eggs' strength as their own.

Say what you will about the Druchii, but they've definitively managed to wrestle Dhar with great success with regards to their Dragons quite well. I'm sure that there have been deliberate sabotages and the like to kill rivals upon consumption of a purposefully tainted egg, but it simply wouldn't be a practice involving 'for every Black Dragon Egg that develops into a hatchling, countless dozens' if it did that even a bit often. It is further also explicitly noted that Black Dragons may have tons of Dhar pulsing through their bodies, that they are also mutation free and completely stable as a species and individual entities.

I just question why you'd want to eat something that is without a doubt one of the most horrifically Dhar infused things on the planet. I give it way too solid odds of turning someone into a Chaos Spawn

It's a joke... mostly. From what we've seen it would be a potion that non mages can take that empowers/heals the user, and it's main ingredient is the yoke of a dragon egg. I doubt the asshole we took it from was going to buy something that would mutate him.
However it may be that it is made to be used by Elves only and it would do horrible things to Fred. Isn't it great that we have numerous Wood Elves some that are sane True Dhar casters? So even if Fred can't use it and the elves would know there is someone there that can safely use it to super charge themselves and wreak some dark elf sorceress ass? I can see the high elves not willing to drink it because of it's source though though I may be wrong there, and they may be practical enough to use what has already broken a few eggs.

@torroar does any of this hold up or am I missing something?

EDIT: ah your already here and didn't need the alert sorry bout that.

Huh! Well how about that. I mean, I'd still be against eating it if we somehow recovered something like that from this battle cause that's the kind of thing that will definitely get us the Witch Hunter stink eye again, and the Asur would probably give us a "Did you really just do that? You're disgusting" kind of reaction, but at least it wouldn't turn us into Spawn and would just have presumably all positive physical effects.
 
I don't know where the idea came from that the Druchii are constantly making everything they do also have some sort of Druchii-only repulsion field, let alone elf-only repulsion field. And yes, Dhar is bad, tainting, etc, but outside of certain stuff and outright Chaos deliberately extra tainted things or straight up Warpstone it is not - necessarily - going to make you go Chaos Spawn from being in the same room as it or whatever.

There's nothing about the eggs that imply that they have to be consumed by a mage only. Maranith wasn't a wizard/mage/etc and he was definitely going for an egg. Elves have their own advantages, sure, they're more magically attuned on average and have their agility/gracefulness and what not. But no, its not like the eggs would be, like, elf-only-or-else-you-die. Like, another Dark Elf Armybook Item:

The Hydra Blade was carved from a single fang of Akholrak, first and greatest of the War Hydras broken to Malekith's service, and like its many-headed namesake, its keen edge strikes repeatedly against its foes. Though Akholrak is dead now, torn asunder long ago by the great Caledorian Dragon Incalamir, its malice lives on within this gnarled and twisted sword. Only those of iron will can hope to dominate the Hydra Blade, for it is imbued with an echo of Akholrak's malice and is little inclined to suffer the commands of another. Most wielders discover the blade's willfulness more than offset by its alacrity, but more than a few have perished needlessly in encounters where skill would have served them far better than speed.

This sword is just angry as fuck, because the fang it was carved from came from the angriest War Hydra ever. So angry in fact, that it's somewhat sentient. Nothing in there about it only being wieldable by Druchii, save for the fact that its in the Druchii Armybook because that's the most likely possible people to have access to it.

Conceivably, if an Asur champion killed a Druchii champion wielding it, they could just...have the Hydra Blade. You know? Much like how a Runefang is an Empire Armybook, but its possible in some crazy scenario that its picked up temporarily by a Dwarf or Elf during an adventure or something. Or like the time that Felix picked up the Hammer of Fate which scalded his hand real bad but only rose up from the ground when he invoked the Dwarf Ancestor Gods when previously it wouldn't budge at all.

Like, things are possible, is all I'm saying.

Well now.

I didn't say that.

Sucks how dark elves can basically brute force breeding dragons with Dhar while high elves' have to deal with fact most of their dragons allies are in eternal slumber and don't make many eggs anymore.
 
More important question is, what's the best way to prepare dragon eggs? Hard boil, soft boil, sunny side up, over easy, scrambled?

Oh, we should make a quiche.
 
We should give the eggs back to the Dragons. How pissed would you be if somebody found a bunch of human babies and experimented on them to be loyal war resources?

Torr mentioned manalith was going for one when we battled him

to kill a dragon and it's rider, sometimes you just gotta crack a few eggs...

Also any eggs we get should probably go to the high elves imo, but at this point it's probably scrambled on the ground now.

So straight up Warpstone is no good, but Warpstone baked into a pie or blended into a stew are fine, right? I have some new recipe ideas for our Great Kitchen chefs to test out.:)

Elves are more resistant to mutation then humans though. Eating something that Dhar infused might well affect a human worse then it would an elf.

it's inherently corruptive and mutative. It isn't however evil or sentient.
Sufficient research by (All) the Elves, Colleges, Dawi, and Nehekarans,
, Chaos and skaven that it can be stablized and used as a power source or magical/runic reagent.

But it is a bit like Nuclear. Bad rep and bad handling.
 
OK then:

- If there are more Dragon eggs we know an Elven Archmage with an Arcane Fulcrum to purify them into something that we would want to hatch.

- @torroar has changed his location to The Utter Agony of Being Perceived so can someone do some fanart of a cinder peeking shyly over the bottom edge of a picture to look at the audience? At this point torroar you are leaving the impression of a moe blob running around all panic-like and trying to keep this thread clean and comfy.

- Um...is the voting done? It just sort of stops at one point without any information on which plan won.
