What the hell??? I went sleeping for 6h, and somehow people decided to bind Drycha? I don't know if I should laugh or cry :V

Would that be a game over, or would this turn into Drycha Quest.

If we could ensure it became Drycha Quest, ind honestly be tempted to choose bind😏

Yeah, it's a terrible idea, but I'm mostly here to have fun, and it seems like it would be a lot of fun.

Or end with us dying horribly, but I won't kink-shame you :V
 
Wonder if the Kreml guard are gonna have a healthy infusion of recruits after this considering the performance of those loggers within sight of Boris.

Using your soul as the sealed can of evil seems like a bad time all around.
 
I was going to argue against bind, but realistically that feels a bit like arguing against Diplomacy with Mors back during the battle for Eight Peaks, or like making a stand at the Wyvern Caverns when when Waagh came, there aren't enough votes for it to be worth it IMO. So instead I am going to pose another question to the thread, what do you guys think Ariel is going to make out of this? She certainly has the magic to scry what killed Drycha, so how is she going to react? The way I see it there are three possibilities in descending order of likelihood:
  1. Indifference: Drycha overreached and got killed by some random humans in Kislev (where was that again?)
  2. Rage: How dare this mortal slay one of the elder spirits of the Dreaming Wood of Athel Loren!
  3. Gratitude: Her killer lives where? Ah perhaps it is the work of our long sundered kin, I aught to give them my thanks.
 
@Boney is there something stopping us from simply shooting Drycha with our guns? It doesn't take long to draw them and they've got good stopping power thanks to the runes.

Why would you shoot her if you are close enough to hit her with the flask or even just run up to her with the sword? It's like deciding to punch someone when you have an axe already in hand. The Pistols are designed for long range.
 
Let's drop the fire bomb. We spent a lot of favour for this thing.
And not casually enslave a sentient to our soul. Aside from them being an Ulgu user, which is orthagonal to regular Apparition binding patterns.

That is the best case scenario, mind you. and while pokemon'ed Drycha might be even more potent I don't think even Ranald would take this particular bet.

To be fair Ranald bet his divine essence on what? A 50/50? 70/30? Chance of winning against Mork and Gork? He is totally the God to take this.

How likely is this?

I imagine they've lived a long time and are aware that if you live long enough you just die through random circumstance. With the amount of incidents that led up to this, wouldn't they just point to plotter (Tzeentch?) guy?

Why did they do that?🤔 Does someone knows the Quest's name, so I can witness so glorious an idiocy?

What shounen does to a mfer Going Full Kubo (Bleach Quest) [GOOD END]

I don't think it's that stupid that I wouldn't vote for it if I was there, but it is funny.
[X] Kill yourself.
--[x] By stabbing yourself through the heart.


Basically, the logic is this: killing him is abandoning our honor, our pride, I order to fain power. This is failure in the eyes of Kyoka Suigetsu AND in the eyes of Zangetsu.

To not kill him is to walk away from power. Power that you need to save Rukia. It is to hesitate. It is a failure in the eyes of Zangetsu and Kyoka Suigetsu.

But to kill yourself with this blade? This is the righful path. It shows that we do not hesitate, and, when faced with inevitable failure, still choosd our own end. It shows that we value our honor, ojr pride and path more tha power and would sooner die than abandon it. It shows that we understand that this is OUR inner world. This world IS Ichigo Kurosaki. We won't die from this (this happened in canon).

And it shows that we remember how power is transferred from shinigami to other shinigami. Which is bystabbing recepient with the sword through the heart (Rukia did thjs to Ichigo in the first chapter of manga). By running Kyoka through, we give it our power. By stabbing ourselves, we get its power.



Plus, I like to vote for killing ourselves whenever appropriate. Full Kubo, right?

Sleeping and waking up can be very jarring. Wow, what has the thread been up to.

Anyways, I'll just be a neutral observer for the time being. I realised that my frustrations yesterday were likely the cause of me being too invested in my arguments and feeling like a clown for being so thoroughly wrong (it might have helped that I was off my meds). I spent so much time and effort playing up Drycha and her achievements that I felt absolutely silly when she was split in one hit. Maybe I should take a break and go do something else.

That would be because she didn't come here to hunt down an Ice Witch. She planned to ambush a single Boyar and his guards. For that purpose, she wouldn't even have to show up. Her forces would have been more than enough to tear her targets to shreds.

Mathilde stumbled on Drycha completely by coincidence, and we picked the right options to use the knowledge by informing the Ice Witches, the fuckmothering Tsar and the latter's elite royal guard, before using our unique spell to accelerate the army's march massively. Drycha could have adapted to all of this (primarily by retreating and trying another day), but she botched her scouting rolls, so she didn't know the Tsar was on his way, or that there was a Lady Magister with a spell that could make said Tsar reach the forest in time to make a difference. All she knew was that some group of doods may or may not be in the area while she's carrying out the ambush. That's fine, she thought. Before they even get there, I'll kill the target and leave.

But everything changed when the invisible wizard attacked and smacked her in the face with a sword-shaped cannon.

The rolls in the recent update weren't Drycha going "all according to keikaku"; they were her going "I don't like this Keikaku anymore" and desperately trying to salvage the situation despite the terrible conditions, because suddenly she realized her brilliant plan got wrecked by bad luck and a meddler who doesn't even know her name stumbling on her.

Sure is lucky Mathy arrived just in time to gather extra support, issue a warning and ambush her. That's a lot of bad luck for her, and a lot of good luck for Mathy and Kislev. Why, it's almost as if...
Damn it Ranald! Stop breaking the fourth wall!
