So, then organize sacrificing ritual, make every minion standnearby if shit happens, and sacrifice cash.

EDIT: bolded for clarity

[LordBucket]

I would just as soon wait on the sacrificing then. Next mission, regardless of what it is, we can simply have our adviser bring back some extra incidental hostages.

Would be curious to see if "sacrifice 10 humans" results in a stronger minion than "sacrifice 1 human."

Maybe we should be building holding cells. We're going to want  to keep making minions, not just do this as a one-time thing so regular, incidental kidnapping over time is probably preferable to going out of our way for it right now.

SACRIFICE THE TEDDY BEAR

After than, ask Cerulean if we can take a sample to see what happens when we use it in a ritual. Perhaps we get an adorable demon thing?

I'd rather use said cash for a permanent upgrade to our minion-o-matic. We really need better meatshields, rather than  a corporate lawyer of Evil.

It's an inversion.

Shadenight, your game is absolutely superb and you have my undying gratitude for making it.    

I would like to humbly request to join it and, in the meantime, remind the existing players that we still have an uncorrupted scientist from Psysquid's bloodbath mission that we could possibly use to manufacture better cannon fodder. Or, you know, wrap him in cash and throw him into the abyss to summon the demonic equivalent of a Monsanto executive.

On the note of what to sacrifice, we always have that shard of glass if we really need a powerhouse - the link to the mysterious past.

MY SHARD OF GLASS HISSSSSSSSSSS

[Knit tie]

Actually, do we have to do a mission each turn, or can we do something else like designing weapons for our cogs or bolting a death ray onto our lair?

We can do a mission, or upgrade the base. But not both.

Welcome, Knit Tie, of course all can join the suggestions!

You decide to err on the side of caution. With your entire 'staff' assembled, you near your SAD system and take out a bundle of money. You have wagon loads of the stuff, so one bundle isn't going to change your meaning of life.
You know that as far as wealth goes, it is supposedly the Wealth of the object. Is green stamped paper worth something?

Still, it has been taking dust in your lair for a bit, all this money.

You then cough and start pronouncing the words to summon forth, well, something while wielding your Dark Rosario.

"I CALL THEE FORTH, SPIRIT BOUND BY MONEY! I CALL THEE FROM THE ABYSS, THE BEYOND, THE BENEATH AND THE ABOVE! ANSWER THE CALL OF OVERLORD INCOGNITO!"

There's a bright flash of light, a wave of dark malevolence and then...

"Oink!" it's a sort of...metallic sound.
"Oink!"
You look, half-expecting something majestic and grand.
"Oink!"
You lower your gaze.
"OINK!"
You look further down.
It's a Piggy Bank.
A very small, cute, metallic Piggy Bank.
"IS that a Dark Minion Material?" you mouth towards Chemista, who nods.
"Well, it does have abilities, I suppose..." she replies. "Maybe...Control? Certainly not Destruction. I mean...it's a metallic Piggy Bank...and it's the size of a cat."
"Aw...he's cute!" Cerulean states then. "You think it does something special?"
Gamington prepares his cane-lance. "You wish for me to try and test its mettle, your Evilness?"

The metallic piglet oinks, and then narrows his eyes on you.
You thrust the Dark Rosario forward.
"I BIND YOU TO MY NAME, INCOGNITO!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1d12= 11 + 2(Control) + 2 (Dark Rosario) Vs 1d12= 8 + 2 (Steel Will) 15 Vs 10. Win.

The piglet oinks in approval, and then wobbles forth towards your feet. "Oink!"

Well, for this day you're done summoning stuff.

Tomorrow, at Upkeep, you'll try with sacrificing a Teddy Bear to SAD and see what happens.

Resources Acquired: 1 Dark Minion: Steel Piggybank

It's a shard of silver held in a glass actually.
Weapon designing is freely done whenever you want. Tell me how you want your Cogs to be, and I'll tell you if it's feasible or not and the requirements. Guardian Cogs for example are feasible enough.

Do you let Gamington test the Dark Minion? Considering how it might end up destroyed during the test...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now you can do TWO mission OR upgrade the Base. Yup.

[Tomcost]

No testing.

And I vote for guardian cogs.

[LordBucket]

2 (Steel Will)

We know it has at least one ability. Gamington probably isn't the adviser to handle this. We want to "see what it does" test it. Not "smash it" test it. We're a control overlord, not a destruction overlord. Things cn be useful even with no combat ability. Maybe it multiplies objects put inside it or something.

[Knit tie]

A metallic pig toy? Now this thing either has some hidden abilities or paper money is seriously unappreciated in hell.  Perhaps we should buy gold with our loads of cash and sacrifice it insead. Or buy a brothel worth of wenches and a truckload of wrenches and get Cerulean a replacement mommy.

As for the turn, my inner dorf is saying that we should start a mining program and begin the guardian cog project, except with additional steampunk gatling guns - our normal mooks are little more than walking scrapyards. Also, corrupt the scientist, perhaps with excessive bribes.

[Tomcost]

We can just break the scientist, no need for bribes. He will be staying with us, with a lot of luxury items already.
