Since it's a type of metal golem, I expect his legs to have melted upon re-entry, but aside from that, it should still be operational, albeit less mobile.Out side oxygen loss (which i dont think is q problem for a rock), height doesn't matter past terminal velocity (unless you go into reentry distance, then its all about fire resistance.). Aka I expect the mitral golem to keep fighting!
Great plan to door it outside the mines tho!
Thanks for the chapter!

I think the idea is for it to hit the ground at terminal velocity and get decommissioned by the impact. The part she didn't think about is adding a crater to the landscape near Mireera and that an unexplained tremor might be felt by the residents.Out side oxygen loss (which i dont think is q problem for a rock), height doesn't matter past terminal velocity (unless you go into reentry distance, then its all about fire resistance.).

Her gloves are puppets, so she has no paw pads there.i love the action poses, the uppercut, charging up the punch, etc, all being done in a onesie. Especially when the paw pads are visible
This: terminal velocity depends as much on aerodynamics as gravity. A skydiver can exceed their flat-body terminal velocity by diving at the ground and thus minimizing their frontal area; similarly if the mithril golem is coming in legs- or head-first it could conceivably exceed the local speed of sound if it's heavy enough.re-entry is about more than just fire-resistance.
A large factor is the shear-stress (I think that's the term) it has to survive too (why stuff like parachutes can't be deployed from the start - they will just be torn off from the body due to differing drag).
Besides that, there is also mere mass combine with air-friction and re-entry angle. It is not impossible for a slab of mithril to hit the ground at above terminal velocity, if the angle was steep enough and the velocity at re-entry high enough that it didn't have time to slow down to terminal (that said, I would also be surprised if it is much above terminal. Since the higher above it is, the faster it slows down. But my rockets have managed to crash harder than they should)
No I were talking about angle of re-entry (falling straight towards surface, vs falling tangentially to the surface, and everything inbetween). Not angle of attack (angle of the body that is performing re-entry).This: terminal velocity depends as much on aerodynamics as gravity.
