Awesome chapter!
But! Suffocation shouldn't have worked on Farlyn. Considering she has real anatomy and not just magical power to sustain her, this huge body must have giant lungs and small human mouth\nose is not enough to provide enough airflow, so she must have another way of breathing. Well, maybe she uses human lungs to support her brain and dragon body with giant lungs gets oxygen separately, in this case suffocation could work, but to leave such vulnerability means it's not very thought-through chimera design by Thistle.
Besides, in previous chapters we witnessed her physical power when she lifted enemies using one hand, so there is no way she was unable to break the LIaus lock. She could easily break his arms or even smash his head. As justification one can say she was really drunk and was unable to resist properly, though adrenaline should help in this case. Our adventures should have added some sleep grass into the carry and it would be much more plausible.
But well, it's not documentary anyway, so it's just nit-picking.
