It's complicated.

As far as I know, Gryla can't be killed. Not by me, at least. Maybe something like the Leshy could off her, but idk. She can normally be kept away by simply chasing her off—that's what my parents talked about that night. Or you can give her other food, I guess, like my father suggested, but ngl I don't want her coming back cuz she thinks she's welcome here.

I'll be honest, ever since then I haven't really had any problems with her. Marian's death was more than enough.

I feel like she’ll come back for the next generation, as if Marian was her toll, but the toll will be asked again. Please be careful. I don’t remember if your siblings had children yet, but if they sleep over at your place…and you also have a child… it would be a prime moment for her.

That's unsettling. But you may be onto sth.

I don't have any children and I'm not sure if my siblings do. Maybe. But none of them have ever stayed over at my place. I'm pretty disconnected from my siblings, except for my little brother. Come to think of it, he does have kids but they're not at risk for different reasons. It's a long story.

Anyways, I do think Gryla is wherever misbehaving children are.

Well now you’ve piqued my interest

Why aren’t they at risk 👀

Oh that's actually a mundane thing. See my brother fathered a bunch of kids but he's not involved with them. He only pays child support, doesn't parent. So I don't know them. Ergo, they never stay over.

Hit her with the Titus Andronicus and trick her into eating one of her own sons.

Depends, are you are the Baltic estate, cause if so gryla's presence borders on that of a sub-jould class entity, if your the western estate you could probably get them to leave the area by encouraging/introducing competition from simmaler entities, however this is inadvisable for obvious reasons

Alternatively: somehow convince Wrentworth to solve their presence, but you'd most likely end up the one unmade
