This dragon greatly resembles Boreal Serpents I've encountered. There are a few differences, but they're otherwise quite similar- particularly in shape and elemental affinity.

Seeing as a number of us seem keen on returning it to the ocean as originally promised, I think we can agree it's in everyone's interest to calm it first before any further damage is done.

[A breath, then barreling through the rest with the grit of someone fully expecting an argument]

..So, I'm going to try and put it to sleep. I don't fully expect this to work, and I don't expect it to work swiftly, but all we need to do is calm its mind enough to work with. It's otherwise proven itself to be an intelligent creature.

But this will take time to manage. In the meantime, it has the body of a serpent: strong, scaled, and greatly flexible. Straying close isn't wise or likely terribly effective with ordinary weapons. Held at range and distracted would be ideal.

..As such however, this only has a chance to work with assistance.

Ah, so generous! My thanks as well, the Lan Sect can only do honours to any qin left in their capable hands.

( he's fairly sure no qins will be DESTROYED )

[Can divine weapons even be destroyed...?]

Who's generous?

[Wow, so rude how dare you imply such a thing!!!]

I'm merely doing what is most logical. I can't tie down the dragon and play at the same time. Jiuge may as well go to someone who can put it to use.

Practicality and generosity do not need to be mutually exclusive, ah? Also, to check: do you mean literally tie down.

[wooden_one]

[He is going to decline to answer the first part, thanks.]

Tianwen can summon willow roots. If I reinforce it with more spiritual energy it should be strong enough to do the job.

Even if all it does is slow the creature, that's to benefit. Fascinating technique! I'll have to ask for you to speak on it sometime when we're not in the midst of chaos.

[wooden_one]

We can exchange pointers later.

[He's not opposed to sharing even though he knows others who would be. But also he's a nerd he wants to know about what everyone else can do.]

[weifinder]

I'll hold you to that!
