Well, have him make a few more. Say, a baker's dozen total. That's good until we figure out what to do with it.
Also, I'd like to note that those Order Gods sounds terrifying. What are they even using the tax money for?
+1. And as for the order gods, I think there is a fanatical Lawful-stupid (there is a pun in french, with a word meaning "dumbass" sounding like "good", with only one-letter difference) elder god with a bunch of subordinates. Two of these subordinates we met in the updates. The others might or might not be less Inquisitor-like (Wh40k variety). Also, maybe that tolerant order gods are executed for "letting chaos spread" or something. Wouldn't surprise me.
As for taxes... Paying the army?
And they underestimate us greatly. Good good good... they shall be surprised...
1) we actually defeated Maher.
2) the castle is real.
3) we are allied with three different gods.
I look forward the ass-kicking sequence that will inevitably follow.
1) no, he was just playing with us.
2) no use, as we haven't outfitted it properly yet.
3) I only count gods two gods with non-agression pacts and one goddess neutral/friendly towards us.
Against the 100k soldiers that were mentioned in the last post, we'll need more than just the flying castle.
Could we give Edward a nugget of manarack if we have asked him for his plans and they sound reasonable? A dozen of the fire mines sounds fine, but let's have him spend his full time on them until he has finished the batch we ordered, so we instead of having like 3 or 4 of each of his inventions, we have a useful amount, but less inventions. Inventing one thing, then producing 4, then inventing another thing, then producing 2 or 3 and so on gives us less power than having him invent one or two things and then have him mass-produce 'em. Next, have him work on testing around with processing some plant saps, we could maybe get lucky and get something that burns
really hot to feed the firejackets with (so they produce more nector and we can make more of those bombs and maybe other stuff)
Let's also make pit traps that work on the same principle as those bombs, have them covered by vines that only hold because of their knotted chaos, and then once a Justicar or whatever steps on them, the vines give way to his falling on spikes.
