I don't suppose there's a way for you to put your hands on some webs, is there? Can you trap a webber demon behind a drawbridge or something? It would be incredible if you could cage trap all those monsters with webbed traps.
I've got a few webbers who'd do a decent job at it, but I've no real inclination or cause to go grabbing more titan corpses at the moment.
With the taming of Hell and the cleanup of the overworld reaching their natural conclusions, I puzzled over what to do with the captured human warriors. I lacked any easy means to safely transport so many prisoners out into the surface where they'd hopefully run home, without turning to banditry or undead state. To execute them all was also an option, but presented an equally daunting logistical challenge. With so many humans with such long names I'd always be worried I'd accidentally execute a necromancer, a were-creature or a historic corpse titan, so I decided to just place each human in hell with a were-sloth - Doge Pesli.
I figured Doge Pesli would do as were-sloths were want to do, and spread the curse. Perhaps I would gain a small cohort of were-sloths?
At first the humans did not warm to Doge Pesli. A hammer lord tried to break the were-sloth with his bronze warhammer, to minimal effect.
Doge Pesli responded with characteristic friendliness, strangling the Hammer Lord to submission (remarkably, the hammer lord did not die).
Upon the conclusion of this frightful full moon, the were-sloths and humans ceased to fight one another. Total peace gripped them all, even when the full moon returned. It was as if the humans and were-sloths had struck peace in this hell.
I have no idea why they will no longer fight one another, but whatever the case, there are now more of them.
Elsewhere in Hell, the construction of a great filter commenced.
Pictured here, the foundations of the filter being built.
A simple maintenance shaft connects the filter to the rest of hell.
The sacred walls of the filter were raised and the corpse bomb placed within.
Demons would arrive from an intake pipe and quickly seek to passage through the filter.
They would fly on their little wings down the pipe, where visibility is limited.
Upon reaching the centre-chamber, the demons at last see they are surrounded and beset by the filter's diligent operators. Undead creatures and constructs of many shapes, sizes and quantities identify a demonic intrusion and begin cleanup, until no demons remain.
Now my mistake was not making the great filter 5zlvls tall. As a result, demons arriving from the lower pipe can see the undead before they emerge into the filter chamber. This can lead to... Blockages.
If the demons arrive from above, then they do not see the undead until they are in the chamber.
The undead being rather persistent, do not have any issue with annihilating the demons - they have the patience of eternity on their side.
However, arriving from the bottom, webbing demons have found they can make a right mess of my filter by attacking from the zlvl below without having to enter the filter chamber itself.
Now the whole damn machine is just clogged with webs.
Those two demons have since become demon lords of warfare, masters of all forms of unarmed combat possible. They are also unlikely to ever be disintegrated because none of the undead are capable of actually reaching the demons - the filter does not facilitate non-flying movement through the pipes. I am not sure how to resolve this issue, so I am leaving the demons in this eternal battle for the time being.
