  Pretty well what I was thinking, but I wanted some confirmation. hard enough to stay balls, not hard enough to take any stress. I can see the alynxes staying away from them; who wants to clean that up? ...except if they wanted to play a joke; I get the impression they are smart enough to have a sense of humour.
  So, they'd be collected regularly, some given to the Lhankor Mhy for ink and paint, and the rest dumped in the cesspit, where the pit gnome mixes them in with the rest of the stuff - good for helping keep the smell down, helping the pit wind. ;) Activated charcoal equivalent...   Then you get the pit gnome to bundle the results up outside from time to time with a dirt cover, so it can be put on (or in, with the field gnomes) the fields.
  Play nice with your daimones and life is good. :)
