Returning back to our current topic regarding Orchid, I am unsure just how well this plan will work out to begin with - if the dragon will even come in reasonable range or how it will react to being boarded by a harpooner. Reasonably, I imagine it is going to stay out of our effective reach, but at the same time I have no real idea what this encounter is intended to entail. Part of why I am having Brannor seek out if there's anything we are supposed to be using. 

That said, [@Lucius Cypher] knew well the dangers of failure in this circumstance; death is all that likely awaits. Then again, being reborn as a badger does not sound like that bad an outcome. If we ever travel to the [i]Beastlands[/i], just as an example, most of us would end up as beasts in place of our race anyway.
