Sounds like a plan.

[RAM]

We need to start stepping up goblin production, maybe we could ship in food and rally some of the surrounding goblin tribes. We need to get some stable cash-flow first I suppose. If we train the goblins to make weapons, we could sell those and train up their smithing abilities for when we need enough arms and armour for 20 million goblin warriors...

Yeah, soon enough we'll start being more proactive about obtaining money but for now we just need to organize ourselves and assess the situation.  The goblins have survived this long without our help so there isn't an immediate need for us to make changes.  Our followers in the tower however are all poor people and will probably starve if we don't get some steady supplies.  We have two bases but so far they are unconnected.  This makes the tunnels we're starting a high priority because it enables us to move both supplies and our followers from one location to another.  Since a lot of our land is going to be underground, we might want to start subterranean farms if possible.  Deathrot is another thing high on our list and should be easy for us to monopolize especially when we have an easy way of sneaking it or hiding it outside the city (via the tunnels).  Raiding could be another way of earning wealth but we should only pick safe targets since we don't want to lose too many followers if avoidable.  Uniting other goblin tribes would be a good idea but we should play things smartly.  Instead of waging all out war, win them over in tricky ways like we did with this one.  Later on when we have excessive force, we can just conquer stuff.

Since the loyalty of our followers could be in doubt and so we can gain access to more powerful allies, I think we should ask our god about how to summon demons, angels or whatever other kind of thing there is.  I'm thinking these things could make good commanders / enforcers to make sure our followers stay in line.

Also how quickly do goblins mature into adults?  Is there anything that matures quicker and is just as serviceable as cheap disposable minions?  Can we use magic to age our followers faster?  These are all things we should look into if we want to run the most efficient organization possible.

+1.

I take no issues with this.

[Tomcost]

Are we only 4 people playing this game?

[gman8181]

I think there's around 5 of us.

[Tomcost]

Let's see... RAM, gman8181, GreatWyrmGod, Pufferfish and Me. Yep, we're 5

[gman8181]

Guess it doesn't really matter as long as enough suggestions to keep the story going come in.

[Fr0stByt3]

Indeed. When I have plans, I'll post. Just like Patient Zero.

The goblins react what most sentient being would do in this case, and charge at you with a scream in which hatred is concentrated in intense enough doses that a hate-gnat would explode.
However, the shaman intervenes, screaming stop with a voice blast.
Most goblins stop, the few that rushed too fast were blown away.
This one has defeated our former chief in an honorable duel! By law, he is our new chief! Before any of you fine goblin folk, and Gloob, object, the gods have clearly chosen him to be victorious!

Gods don't actually do that, but you let their stupidity slide. Mortals can convince themselves of knowing things as much as they want.
As the writer is pretty sure that he's too lazy to write how you make a short speech, in which you reveal your devotion to Put, we just skip to the part where you reveal that you are an entity. The goblins were quite excited to follow Put, By the way.
By forcibly expelling yourself, shocking almost everyone in the camp. Fortunately, entities take over camps quite often. Though they usually do it by possessing the chief.
The change in how you took charge is quite respected. Speaking of which....

The goblin chief suddenly expelled a red cloud, which materialized into an entity! (Which is to say, it didn't materialize, but started shouting at you. Sort of like step-mother, It doesn't materialize as a mother but it's loud as shit.)
I will rip you to SHREDS! YOU FILTHY ROTTING PIECE OF-
He was quickly cut off by the shamans performing a barrage of magic. To say that the entity died would be an understatement, you can't even steal some of his energies.
(Entities can do that to each-other, as they are each-other's rivals)
The plan to make tunnels was met with some resistance, but goblins never resist a chief for long.

The tunnels are proceeding as fast as you'd expect. The walk to the tower takes about 30 minutes, so a tunnel would take around a month. And that's not even counting the farms you wish to set up, despite there being no sunlight or natural feces for your plants.
A subterranean farm sounds fun, but it sure as heck isn't useful.

Well, that went well. Also, now we have a nemesis, sweeet.
We should go back home with our cultists and get healed by the priest.

I say, we need deathrot farms, there are not underground crops that get energy from the nether (or al least, in this game).

[Gentlefish]

So who was entity?

Anyway, let's fix ourselves up and see what we've got in terms of resources in the camp. Any mines or dungeons (other than the one we came from) nearby? Weapons-grade materials?

Also, Gloob, who's gloob?

[Tomcost]

Also, Gloob, who's gloob?

Female goblins?

EDIT: probably our new nemesis instead

[gman8181]

So this isn't like dwarf fortress with subterranean plants?

Alright in any case we still need to find a way of getting supplies to our tower followers.  I guess we should go back and start up that death rot farm.  Send some back for the goblins to grow if possible.  When we get to the tower, we can free that alchemist if be swears his soul to us, otherwise kill him painfully for evil points.  Then lets sell some unneeded junk from the tower and order a food shipment to keep happy followers.

Before we go, we should look around the camp though and see what things look like.  Also talk a bit to the shamans, so we can build up loyalty.

Also what about summoning minor demons?  Is that something we can do?

Nemesis?  The other entity died right?
