[Iituem]

You make a brief return to your lair with the surviving pigs and let them loose in the area around your lair's entrance.  They immediately start to run free, but it isn't as if you can't easily track them down.  Some sort of mortal swineherd might be a useful investment in future, though, if you plan to make a habit of this.  Speaking of habits, you decide not to make a habit of livestock raiding the kobold homesteads.  Not just yet, anyway.

You've been stalking through musty old passages for too long.  Time to cause some trouble here on the surface world.  You consider your options.

First and foremost, there is the shrine near Igrylligus.  You slew the Bloat King's daughter there, Phragmita, She of the Reeds, but not the spit lizard colony.  On the one hand, the fact that the shrine still stands is an everpresent reminder of your defeat.  On the other hand, the Bloat King suggested that he would replace Phragmita with someone more potent, and you can certainly expect some other defences or surprises as an obvious target.

Next, there is the possibility of hunting one of the Bloat King's other daughters.  He must have other shrines, perhaps some more remote or even those near the other two villages, likely tended over by other monstrous children.  You could seek one of those out, slay the guardian and topple it to make a point.

Third, you could try and find a powerful mortal champion or hero and slay them, either in glorious combat or through skulduggery.  You don't currently know of any, but you could always stalk the mortal villages in search of one or abduct some travellers and interrogate them.

Finally, you could search the swamps for some sort of powerful roving beast or monster.  No doubt there are deadly and terrible creatures out there like yourself, worthy challenges to pit yourself against.

A) It's time for Round 2 at the Igrylligus shrine.  Bloat King, I'm coming for you!
B) Let's show the Bloat King we're no pushover.  Push over one of his other shrines.
C) Hunt down a suitable mortal champion to put the fear of you into the kobolds of these swamps.
D) Seek out a powerful and deadly beast living in the swamps, to thrill your hunter's instincts.
E) Something else?

E Those ideas suck. Lets go kill more mummies. We can only fit in those tombs for so long, and we want more loot!

We want to assert our swampland dominance

Our size depend on our gold amount

seeking glory will make us stronger but not exactly bigger

I would be all for returning to the cave and seeking to make some traps while we wait for our spy

but as people seeks challenge

B no reason to be stupid and go right into the trap, let see if the bloat king knows how to deal with guerrilla style

it will probably be enough a challenge for we to get better

Three way tie again!

E we should really clear out our base of all those mummies

[Iituem]

You know, you do have a challenge waiting for you already, down below.  Not to mention loot to pick up.  Maybe you can find glory in overcoming that bastard guardian mummy and her sixty-something minions.  You head back into your lair and descend to the second layer.

It seems that over two months of silence is enough for the undead to consider you sufficiently dealt with.  The surviving mummies have returned to their sarcophagi.  This does mean that only the inner crypt and two of the outer crypts are still occupied - there are three outer crypts you cleared but never got around to looting.

A) Keep quiet and loot those outer crypts.  Best to get any trinkets safely back to our lair before we go killin'.
B) Do this stealthily.  Go through each tomb, sarcophagus by sarcophagus, and rend or flame the inhabitants before they can wake up.  Loot and safety are the important things here.
C) Do this like we did before - challenge each tomb individually by tearing the casket lids off and try to take them on a tomb at a time.  !
D) No, no, no.  We're here for glory and true battle.  Bellow out a challenge to the one who defeated us and take her and her whole damn army on at once.  !

Silent as death (the in-your-sleep variety at least, not the village-on-fire variety) you slip from casket to casket, silencing those within by claw or breath.  You eliminate an entire tomb in this fashion, as well as two-thirds of the second outer tomb before a hastily-dropped casket lid causes the remainder to emerge.  You snuff them out with a well-placed gout of flame, before they can make any more noise.

Even so, you can hear the tell-tale grinding of sarcophagus lids from the central chamber - but only a handful, not all of them.

A) Stealth is working nicely for us.  Get in there as fast as possible and silence the wakeful dead before they can alert others, hopefully preserving our advantage so we can rinse and repeat with the inner tomb.
B) Assassination is the way to go.  Race into the inner tomb and ignore the waking mummies - get that guardian's lid off and execute her before she even gets out of the box.  Then we can deal with the peons.
C) Quick and dirty wins the day.  Don't worry about anything fancy, just get in there and whack mummies as quickly as they appear, while we still have the element of surprise.
D) Now that we've evened the odds we can do this a little more properly.  Bellow a challenge to the guardian and engage the lot as one.  !
