You set four of the kobolds to hunting with Gugujib, one to swineherding and the rest to assist Jibjibjub in clearing out the outer catacombs to be repurposed into a set of barracks for your future minions. Leaving them to the task at hand, you begin the process of venturing out to the various homesteads near Igrylligus to claim them with your brilliant presence.
8!
Apparently news of your defeat of Tulumata has already gotten around. By the end of two weeks of travelling between villages, presenting your shimmering scales and displaying your flaming breath, demanding submission, over a third of the central swamp's homesteads have bent the knee - every single homestead close to Igrylligus. By your reckoning, around a thousand kobolds are probably under your claw at this point. You can expect even more food to be sent to you as tribute, and by committing their craftsbolds' tribute to the development of the marketplace in Igrylligus, you should see completion in three seasons instead of five.
However, this is the limit of which you can convert through word and force of personality alone. The remaining homesteads are either pledged to Korobatbat or Bomugil, or else fiercely independent and unwilling to submit without a display of force or similar means.
Still, you have extracted a worthy tribute for now. You return to your lair, where the kobolds have cleared most of the sarcophagi in the entry chambers to the side and are busy disassembling them for materials, and eat your fill from the stockpiled rice, pork and spit lizard flesh. You could quite comfortably take a nap now, or do something else.
A) Get some shut-eye. You aren't likely to grow, but you could do with healing your wounds and you feel the ancestors have memories waiting for you.
B) Convert some more homesteads through displays of force or guile.
C) Investigate one of the other villages; Korobatbat or Bomugil.
D) Find another shrine to the Bloat King and start taking down his daughters pro-actively.
E) Seek a challenge in the swamps.
F) Seek a new source of wealth.
G) Seek treasure and combat in the catacombs.
H) Something else.
