Knighthowl isn't leaving yet! He has 4 turns of taking back his wounds (Now 3)
"I think that depends on the hero, unfortunately," Knighthowl remarks. "If I could save an innocent life, I would in a heartbeat sacrifice myself. Many others share this belief, but some instead think that killing evil first will save more in the long run. It's not a clear-cut solution either way. Some prefer the now, others prefer to think of the future possible victims. I say they're both equally important. To destroy evil is to save civilian lives...and to save civilian lives is to destroy evil's power."
You nod, and then you leave Knighthowl to his resting.
Guys, you manage to always surprise me.
I've got a Cogify Chihuahua: Tomcost, 3man75, Vash
Anaconda Chihuahua: escaped lurker, naryar, knit tie
octopus: imp
A tie between anaconda and cogify. I'll flip a coin and let Gamington decide XD
Lord Gamington turns thoughtful for a moment, before stating. "Your Evilness! Dance-Dance-Party Deluxe Torture Edition is out! It even has coop! I think I'd really like a Lady Gamington if possible," he states, "But that's really your final decision your overlordness. I'm sure even with scales she'd be a very good side-kick."
You decide to go with Cogification.
Psysquid coughs politely. "I think, if we had some medical equipment or some mechanic equipment, the work would proceed more smoothly, your overlordness."
You nod. You'll try and get your hands on those as soon as you can.
Chemista is ready with more mutations when you pass her by, and you watch as she inserts a needle into the sides of a lion.
The Lion squawks.
You blink.
Wings start to grow from the creature's back as his size slowly dwindles. You can see his mouth elongate in a beak, while his sharp teeth show clearly. It foams from its mouth, before giving a flap to its new wings.
Like a baby bird, it hesitates for just a moment before taking off.
And then it gnaws on Chemista's head.
"Very funny," she states plainly as she removes the 'intruding' thing. "Now spit out my hair you stupid beast."
"Meowsquawk?"
"OUT WITH MY HAIR!"
"Gah!"
Hair reacquired, Chemista slowly lifts the thing in her arms as a music starts playing from the nearby radio.
It's the circle of lifeeeeee..."I present you, your evil overlordness, with a
Liondor!"
"Griffin."
"Liondor," Chemista remarks. "A griffin would be sort-of bigger."
In fact the flying lion is as big as...well, you'd say the puppy of a dog.
"What do we need to make a Griffin then?" you ask.
"Win the genetic lottery, I suppose," Chemista shrugs, before petting the liondor who starts to loll his tongue out. "He does have a nice feather-mane."
You grumble, and then watch as Chemista proceeds to inject a Pink Elephant mutagen in Meanie Bearie, the Mean Bear 'misunderstood' for eating five children during one of his circus tricks.
It was later found it had been 'Pedo', his evil twin, and so they had sent him to the Misunderstood Animal Shelter.
The moment the injection is done, Meanie Bearie howls in pain, before he starts to lose his fur and acquires...a bone armor? Apparently, tusks grow from his mouth as he grows a bit.
He looks like an armored bear out of a fantasy setting.
Only, he's covered in bone-plates.
"Bearphant!" Chemista exclaims.
"Beer fart?" Psysquid brings his head in from the corner of the lab. "Did someone say Beer Fart?"
"BEARPHANT!"
"That's an ugly name." Psysquid states plainly, before disappearing once more from where he came from.
You then explain your idea to Lord Gamington about having a Cog-o-mancer.
He turns thoughtful, and then snaps his finger.
"That would be something for the SAD System, my Evil Overlord! An ability such as that...indeed!"
You haven't yet cogified Chihuahua. Wouldn't want to lose her without at least trying to see if the next mission offers a way to improve the chances.You grab an empty Cog and firmly plant a magical crystal into it.
Nothing seems to happen.
Maybe you'll have to try it on a 'moving' and 'working' cog? But then...on a Minion-Cog or a Wuffle-Cog?
UpkeepAnd you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
That's a lion on your head? That's a lion on your head!?
Who are you gonna kill tonight?
And you're planning evil along
Thinking this is the Evil Overlord's life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size...
"Get this damn thing off my head!" you snap.
You grab the Liondor and pull it away, before throwing it out of your room. Really! Why can't overlords sleep in peace for once?
You build five more normal cogs, bringing your Minion-Cogs back to Ten with ease.
You now have Ten Minion-Cogs and two Wuffle-Cogs.
Then you step towards the SAD System.
You can sacrifice blood and a wrench to get the Hydraulic Succubus...or you could 'fondle' with the recipe and add the BSDM magazines you bought. Because, unfortunately, it appears as if Psysquid has magazines about...
other things.
It did appear strange he kept on pestering Chemista of all people. Well, if he likes Cougars that's his decision, not yours.
Or you could try something to summon a 'Cogomancer'.
Cerulean moodily steps in the breakfast room.
"I can't find my magic wand. How can I be a Dark Advisor without a magic wand?"
"Keep on being a side-kick then," you reply smoothly. "I'm sure that one day you'll find your magic wand again."
"Uff...oh, right, why is that woman insisting I call her 'mom'?" that said, she points to the 'Luchador' Hero who is currently discussing dancing and wrestling tips with Lord Gamington.
Chemista watches the scene with frank disgust -probably because there's a human out and about the lair.
"You aren't divorcing mom, are you dad?" Cerulean eyes you with wide doe-eyes.
You are now in Upkeep
