Probably freaking the fuck out as they realize on a meta level that their scouting rolls probably failed horribly, or else they would probably know the answer to that question. Especially if they got any indication at all the more stuff was about to go down, or recognized Boris from a description and realized he wasn't who they expected.

Probably, although depending on if the Scouting rolls were shown or not their reactions might differ. They could just have Drycha's perspective like what we saw in this last chapter which they used to form this ambush plan.

I get the arguments about ceding tempo to an unseen enemy, but I care more about Mathilde not dying alone and isolated from her allies in a shadowy forest grove more than I care about the broader outcome or other characters here.
Drycha might even have her own honour guard.

We have reinforcements coming, so time is on our side. And Drycha is unaware, so she might be willing to wait longer than she should. Not fighting Drycha is a more comfortable state of affairs than fighting Drycha.
So what I'd like to do is keep an eye on her while contributing to the battle (maybe by Boris, who I'm assuming is the most likely target) and only attack her when she makes a move.
I just don't think we'd be able to pull it off. She's sneaky as it is, before our focus is split between tracking her and the monsters in our face, to say nothing of keeping her from noticing us noticing her... Eh, toss that idea. Apparently "Do all the things" isn't gonna work, who could have guessed?
other pair of eyes hawk?
I don't feel confident enough to vote yet, so I'll just ruminate for a bit.

Moving on to the dryad casters, I would like our unexpected ally to keep feeding us information and not get magically yoinked- particularly if we're fighting Drycha. I'm just not clear on the degree to which "the forest" that is the surrounding trees is equivalent to "the forest" that is renting space in our head. Also... Milica might have this in the bag. How likely is it that she has windsight? Related question, where is her

Man, I would feel so sorry for them if that was the case. Heck, they've probably just got word that Mathilde showed up and we're given a choice to strike certain people or keep waiting for a better opportunity, and they dismissed her because… I don't know, she's a random Grey Wizard in the Forest of Shadows. Not usually a super martial threat and they probably outclass her in stealth. Or, If Drycha's lack of knowledge about the greater world reflects in the players, they would probably just assume she was a Hedgewise or made the connection between Shadow Wizard/Forest of Shadows and think she was just in the area for some reason.

It's also worth considering what Drycha's current actions are. From the bit of her perspective we got, I think she's either in the middle of some form of casting (which should be stopped) or waiting for her moment for an assassination attempt on the "boyar" (which should also be stopped, and is most easily stopped preemptively.) That was a big part of why I came to believe that it was safest to attack now.

That is assuming she noticed Mathilde yet, if I had to guess their post set up would probably have been the scouting stuff to get them a general idea of the situation followed by a planning turn on how the army is deployed.
Now we are technically in the middle of their update with Mathilde being the first of the unknown factors to appear and cause complications. I'd imagine that things will sync up with us here after the next update for whatever Mathilde does.

Milica is busy keeping the river frozen. If she drops that to try and 3v1 the Branchwraiths it probably won't end well, on either count.

The mentions of lilac means she's currently buffing the army right? Are buffs something that typically need concentration or are they fire and forget?
But I think in general I agree with the arguments Drycha is gonna do something at some point and I'd rather try to put her on the defensive vs letting her do whatever.

No, that's Nadezhda, who's next to Boris. Milica is busy fighting the non-spellcaster dryads in melee, and probably doesn't have enough momentum to push towards the spellcasters for a while.

No, she's fighting the Dryads.

That's Nadezhda, with Boris.
Millica is currently engaged with the non-casting Dryads. If she noticed in time and was able to disengage she might attempt to disrupt or counterspell the battlemagic they're attempting, perhaps.
E: OK, lot of

Ah, my mistake. I find it even less likely that someone engaged in melee will be able to counterspell 3 enemy wizards though.That's Nadezhda, with Boris.

E: OK, lot ofninjaEshinfriends here today.
Heavily spell-dependent I would guess. I suspect most magic leans towards fire and forget though, because if you're focusing on maintaining one spell, you can't throw around others, and it's a rare spell that's worth comitting to, to that degree.

We really have no idea what Dyrcha can do. It's a risk to engange her like this, but i di think the risk of letting Dyrcha react to both Mathilda and reinforcement is an overall bigger risk.
Who kniws what tricks she has up her sleves, that she can now carefully plan on how to use for optimal effect.
This may not be optimal ground for us, but it's better then letting her pick the fight she wants.

I'm probably too trusting of foreign thoughts in Mathilde's head. If you murder some innocent trees, mysteriously receive inside knowledge of tree politics, and then get told through the same mechanism "here's the big bad, you can go stab her lol," what's the appropriate reaction?
But dammit, I can't shake the feeling that it's such a trustworthy mental intrusion.

I had the same though until I realized that the Forrest most likely hates some outside influence trying to control it. Also the Avatar trait seems to be helping us twice in a few months. I wonder if we will get any boost fro the Kislev gods for hunting a enemy of Kislev.
