I think we should practice binding on some slightly less hostile forest spirits when we're, you know, not in the middle of a battlefield?

Can we please please please not try and pull the same thing Alkaline did to get himself mind-whammied? You even spelled his name correctly. That is a Bad Sign.If we try this and it blows up in our face, Alkharad will be incomprehensibly smug about it when he eventually reconstitutes, and that just can't be allowed to happen
what about the Kislavines watching us right now?

Well you want the blow up to come out of our face....okay so trying Bind and finding out is admittedly deeply tempting, but...

If we fail, we lose the ability to get rid of Drycha while she still has no idea who/what we are. After this? She'll be coming for us. Assuming she survives and if we go with Bind and don't roll a nat 100, she's probably getting away.

She can't have any contingency against it active right now. We hit her with our sword. Even if she had a belt like ours it wouldn't work right now.Can we please please please not try and pull the same thing Alkaline did to get himself mind-whammied? You even spelled his name correctly.

That really isn't the issue here!
Likewise. Hag Witches do something similar all the time.

The binding involves tying a spirit to Mathilde's soul. Which is partly made of Ulgu. And Drycha is an Ulgu caster. This is opening up the possibility of not just Mathilde's potential death, but even worse being done to her soul as well. Like, "Mathile-Is-Now-A-Tree-Quest" isn't even the worst that could happen.
Your saying like that would be a bad thing. Afterall, the ambush you can see is coming is an ambush you can counter/plan for.
And we can have another go for it.

Imagine if it succeeds and we turn a legendary lord into our Pokemon though.
Doesn't these binding become more difficult to control and create the more of them we already have, which is especially troubling with entities we can't perma-kill and can only release and would hold a grudge over this sort of thing? That's a thing, right?
If we only get a limited number of slots, we've got to go for high tier captures.

If one sword strike didn't solve your problem, than obviously you aren't using enough.
Just ask Shirou of FSN about it.

Hey @Boney a clarification to ask. As I understand, the Binding process, as we were originally meant to experience, was to go out, find an Apparition, beat it up, trap it, and then experiment at our leisure since adapting the binding methods to Ulgu would be difficult.
Is that correct? And if so, would a binding attempt here just constitute the capturing of Drycha for future experiments?

Consider that Drycha is still capable of at a minimum casting Fiendishly Complex magic, she's hurt but she's hardly invalid.
Then consider that we don't even have a guaranteed working framework for whatever we try to do, we have a framework for a different wind we think we can kitbash into something workable after some trial and error (Of which so far we have done none).

The only reason he did not succeed was full force of dwarfen indingance, and i am not aware of any dwarf that would stand against Mathilde when she is avenging like bazillion grudges (or their artifacts)Can we please please please not try and pull the same thing Alkaline did to get himself mind-whammied?

She can bring an army on said Ambush. We aren't exactly good at taking on armies.

Same vote as before...

with a little something extra.
Let's get ourselves a Forest of Shadows.
Plus, this could be the key to an actual Wood Release, which is the first step to making Actual Konoha in Warhammer.

The biggest recommendation Gehenna gave us for binding apparitions was specifically that we shouldn't go after any Ulgu apparitions, because tethering a hungry dog with bacon strips doesn't work very well.
This is, somehow, even worse than that. Lets not.

"Well, I've got nothing."
If I could magically ensure the results of the dice rolls here, I'd absolutely go for Binding, just for the Smug Meowthilde points (also for Boney needing to take, like, twelve breathers to deal with the dice being insane).
But alas, I'm not Ranald, and this feels akin to throwing yourself into a volcano while gambling the updraft will be enough for you to fly across to the other side.

With zero prep time, there's no reliable way to trap Drycha for future experimentation. Mathilde would have to give the binding a go here and now, and hope for the best.

Consider that it's very hard to counter someone's else magic when you are currently attempting to teleport, especially when if you don't teleport away you are straight up definitely going to get killed.
