Whoops...well, carry on with discussion. Just ignore the idiot who apparently can't read
Eeeh.
Then we kill it when it's distracted by other enemies and be done with it rather than risk fighting it when we are distracted by other enemies.
Which is why diplomancing it is first on the list. However, it's not necessarily hostile - Eshin certainly are.
Eshin assassins and lord's are Bullshit. Don't underestimate them.
Are you suggesting that it's better for Mathilde to try to solo the dragon than to have that fight with the entire armed forces of Karak Eight Peaks, including two Runelords?
We are just as good and Hysh can severely cramp our style.
Funnily enough warming enchantments dont really exist in the Bright Colleges repertoire, and rune craft requires metal and time. Kragg might be able to whip something up but the seat of power is a pretty big deal.
If it goes back to sleep, all the better for us. We can throw that hot potato back to Belegar, and in any case the dragon will probably be easier to kill if we can attack it while it sleeps.
No, I'm arguing that if it's hostile we can retreat and organise those armed forces + two runelords. You know, instead of the other situation where we'd be busy fighting a waaagh or otherwise taken by surprise.
You mean it would be easier to kill at the heart of it's power? Which freezing temperatures? And low oxygen? Probably enchanted and infused with Hysh which upgrades the dragon and says bye-bye to our ulgu?
If the dragon is hostile, we are probably not walking out of that negotiation alive. We're good, but we aren't good enough to get away from a hostile Emperor dragon with Hysh of all magics.
While it's sleeping? Yes. Take 20 cannons, point them at his head, fire.
At which point we can bond over murdering enemy elites, a time honored traditon the world over. And it can lead to both Mors and Eshin getting wrecked much more throughly
How will you even light the gunpowder? How the hell will you get 20 cannons up a mountain without waking up the dragon?
Point being, we will have a hell of a lot more time to make and execute a good plan. Right now? I don't fancy our chances.
That's true; 'You hate these rats too? Prove it.' is a lot less of a deal-breaker when we'd be fighting side by side with a Healing-type Emperor Dragon.
Yeah, exactly. I don't see any downside in helping ensure the enemy elites are done and cause no more trouble for K8P.
If it's not hostile, then we don't need to negotiate with it right now. If it is hostile, we will probably die trying to negotiate with it right now.
What plan could we make? We can't sneak up on it, Hysh and extreme cold make sure of that. We can't bring our armies or our Runelords. It's a hysh battle-mage that is also a dragon. I really don't fancy fighting it in it's equivalent of our tower.
