That would serve no purpose...

Even worse, it would be ANTI-USEFUL! We wouldn't be able to eat them if we were using them as streamers!
Also what is that [/acronym] thing.

Update is in the works for tonight or tomorrow and barring interruptions (IC or OOC) will involve interaction with the village at large.

FYI, we just rolled a natural 20 for a lack of interruptions, meaning that we will not be caught in a drop assault by the Imperial Guard while we are trying to have dinner. That would just be plain rude.

Anyway, the village.

1. Kill the miners and turn them into horrifying creatures under your control, unleashing them on the villagers before giving them a choice - follow you or be torn apart and snacked on
2. Do something over-the-top like blasting out of the mine tunnel like a cannonball, exploding a few heads, generally not have a backup plan, and so on and so forth
3. Get creative with your more subtle powers and bide your time, weaving a net of terror and insanity before emerging in your full terrifying glory

I like 3, but I don't mind 1

We could combine them, creating minions during the afternoon and evening, causing absolute chaos at night with our psykiness, and ATTACK AT DAWN!!! Or something. Make that option 4.

[RAM]

I want to combine three and two, generally sapping their morale and then bursting out in a rampage but never really having too much of a plan. But there should always be one survivor, that is going to be our thing...

Collapsing the tunnel would just keep our problem from escalating then we can deal with whoever is left inside.

It would inhibit the escalation of the village's trouble too...

Thats if any of the soldiers told them what is happening.

Besides it will help flavor the populace within the by settling fear based on rumor.

True, but it would also deprive us of resources. We may be partially incorporeal, but meatbags are not.

Votes:

Option 1. 3 second choices
Option 2. 1 for 2/3 combined
Option 3. 3 first choices

Option 3 wins so far, with option 1 as a secondary.

Proposed Course of Action
The mine will be... pacified, starting with the men trying to escape. Efforts will be made to keep the bodies relatively intact for use in creating horrifying abominations for use in the conquest of the village. Overnight, we will infiltrate the villagers' dreams and play on their worst nightmares while also giving them the occasional flash of the events in the mineshaft. Just before dawn when they are suitably terrified, we will send forth our minions to eliminate the priest and militia before appearing ourselves and taking control.

Author's Notes
Do note that having worshipers is a very helpful and positive thing, as they not only provide continuous energy income but are generally more efficient at labor than the undead. Killing everything will provide us with a larger one-time stat boost and provide the bodies for use, but there are drawbacks. Once we reach a certain point, we will bleed even our base Strength and Mind without worshipers until it is below that level. This means that going on a massive, homicidal rampage can be profitable in the short term but extremely risky in the long run, and has led to many a daemon found and eliminated by the Inquisition in the past, not to mention their limited power if they do not constantly engage in killing.

Even as a daemon, having a strategy and plan and picking specific targets is preferable in the long run. One of the reasons the forces of Chaos have not conquered the galaxy yet is because many do not understand the importance of this.

In other news, this update will be pushed back to tomorrow due to unavoidable RL things, but will be over at least a 16 hour timescale and hopefully a 24 hour timescale.

[Morrigi]

Starting work on the update in about 1 hour.

We need to make sure that we aren't too horrific. Be horrific enough to our people for our continued survival, but if we keep a low horrificness, then the Inquisition will probably choose to kill the one that tortures his subjects with mind-flaying screaming and eats children by the thousand than the one who is generally creepy around his subjects and only devours one or two villagers a month.

We need to know about other demons, so we aren't the biggest target.

[RAM]

I really want to find an alternate source of sustenance, maybe we can devour the inherent order of the universe, or have the land itself worship us, or sustainably drain life energy through some sort of curse...

Lets see if we can find/make a force rod to use as a battery .
