A demon such as you obviously deserves a mighty champion. Samana has received your blessing and served you well, but Damena is just as valuable…and he can be taught magic. First though, you must find your next target. You scan through the minds of the tribe, and gather that there are three tribes who live somewhat nearby, and several much more distant:
The Caz live about a week’s march to the south in a cluster of hills surrounded by a low palisade. Smoke drifts from fires behind the wall constantly, and a shining metal hoop stands atop a stone spire which can rain down fire from within their compound. There are perhaps 200 of them.
The Naz-aza roam to the west, and it would take two weeks to get to their territory and then likely another two at minimum to find them. They consist primarily of lizardfolk, and often spend time in the water – their shaman can supposedly control it. There are about 80 or 90 of them, all tall and strong and equipped with vicious claws.
The Savta live to the east, and they are not friendly. They are humans mostly, with a few beastfolk of various types, and they steal from other tribes whenever they can. They are small however, and there are only about 40 of them. They live one and a half weeks to the northeast.
Each option has potential, you muse. And you can always seek some other source of power…
But that is a matter for later, Now you must teach Damena the ways of magic. He is an eager student, thanking you profusely for this honor. But you aren’t a good teacher. After several attempts at explaining your magic – it primarily functions by manipulating evil, and you do that as easily as breathing – fail, you try to brute force it by merging your minds. Damena nearly goes insane, curling up and sobbing for an hour. He has almost certainly lost some of his capabilities. A simple gift of power would fix that, and probably make him stronger, but does he merit that.
As you debate, some random tribe member comes over. “Greatest One, your prophet had us capture many beasts, believing their sacrifice would please you. However, now he is uncertain. What would you have us do?”
