We decided not to go bragging there, remember? Besides, our library does it for us.

Hey, @BoneyM, just checking; are we going to be waiting on the results of the skull river thing until we definitely lock-in the Protector next turn? (Sorry if this was already covered.)
Also, a question for the thread (I recall @picklepikkl expressing a desire to be tagged in these instances?): I know that our current understanding of necromancy in the thread is that it uses shyish to manipulate dhar without interacting with it personally, which functions as the basis for our belief in the possibility of tongs. However, I am unsure where this originated from, and some canon materials I am perusing (quite vaguely) seem to suggest a focus on direct manipulation of the black wind for the most part, along with several thematic spells that occasionally touch upon the lore of death; i.e not purple wielding black, but black wielded as if it were purple, (and sometimes perhaps a corrupt mixture of the two?).
Can anybody tell me which book we're getting our lore from on that, or if it's a quest specific thing? I'm not saying that it isn't how it works, but I'm going through a lot of books trying to get more information on Shyish, Necromancy, and Nehekhara and such and I'd like to know if there's any reference material for it.
(A useless but interesting factoid obtained from this research already: The Chaos Gods are apparently 100% willing to hand out magic power to any ghost who wants to mess with people, absolutely free, like a soup line for evil spirits. This neatly explains why all those evil or unpleasant people are able to cause so much more havoc as a ghost than they were as an angry clerk or whatever).

Those windsoaked mushrooms.... Can they absorb the mirror boxed snake drippings?
Cause that sounds like a wonderful way to shove Qhaysh into food.

It's still a rather interesting experiment to preform, low chance of anything unexpected or useful but worth trying all the same.

We've already locked-in the Protector for this turn. And the events of the interlude happened during this turn, not next turn.

A dozen dockworkers heard him no doubt. And have nothing to do but gossip...
The windsoak mushrooms might make for a valuable trade export. Especially to places with low amounts of Wind such as Araby.
I could easily see Karak Eight Peaks Celestial tea being pretty desirable either as a magical aid or something to help bring about a peaceful and contemplative mindset.

We can now mass-produce Powerstones-lite, perfect for giving yourself a temporary boost when you need to blow up an enemy formation. That's the kind of thing you literally always want to have on hand Just In Case, the way we have that Ulgu powerstone and could have (if we'd thought of it) used to make our rescue operation safer. The way Mathilde just casually made up a huge pile of mushroom tea for Hubert shows exactly how I expect most magisters to react when they're kitting out their journeymen: Relatively cheap and super useful.
The best part? Once you set up an appropriately wind-rich environment for the mushrooms to grow, you can probably make them without substantial spellcaster intervention. And when you do have the wizard support, you can apparently crank out batches in days.
TL;DR Investing a few AP in setting up production of these could probably give us a consistent stream of a few CF a turn. Or Panoramia could make a mad load of dosh, that's also an option.

Sliminess is probably just raw mushroom things. Once you dry it and rehydrate its basically chewy instead, unless left to soak for a long time.

If a Grey Journeyman is in a battle long or fierce enough for that, then they probably fucked up somewhere. Like, badly.

It isn't quite literal light and we haven't gotten the hunting part down but I think they'll be pleased.
