Perhaps It was a bad Idea attacking humans first. Gotta Start Small and work you're way up.
Get as far away from you're current mess as possible, and then hunt down... say... A Kobold settlement.
Hell, If You Morph Back into that Dragonkin form they might even end up giving the place to you with only some big talk on you're part.
Something about Kobods and Idolizing large, scarey, scaley figures.
And if they don't give you their full and uncompromising adoration, their Kobolds, forceful subjugation cant be THAT hard can it?

[Geen]

Retry the plan. This time with more fairytale genericness.

[antlion12]

Hey that would work in a win win scenario you get a village full of kobold slaves and more land

[micelus]

You voices seem to be undecided yet...But I'll take what I can get.

I've sent scouts to look for a good, dependable spot by a river and they've found the perfect place. It's another ruin but it's currently being excavated by some guildsmen...They'll be easy to kill and we won't have to dig out the place ourselves. That will take some mulling over, so I've also sent some scouts to find a kobold village. They returned and found 2. Both are pretty well off by kobold standards; 1000 souls in each village, stone buildings, metal tools, paperwork, and even village councils. It's hard to find such competent kobolds these days.

I've sent some minions to speak with each village while the rest of the troop moves on and gathers some more recruits.

*A day later*

We've found a group of escapee criminals off hiding in a small cave...A starving lot. I've recruited them, but we'll need to pay their wages as well...

stealth x2

There are mixed results on the kobolds, however. One of them graciously spoke with my minions, even giving them a room and food...Then they killed them both in their sleep. Idiots....Anyway, the other village was more accommodating. They've spoken with the last envoy, and have hammered out a deal: they'll serve me as long as I can keep the humans from raiding their village for slaves. Seems easy enough.

Our raiding and waylaying operations have been good today. So good in fact that we've captured Martyn's sister...This is going to hurt.

Kill her and put her head on a pike.

[yourfears]

work your magic on the other kobold village. 2 villages would give u a good ground basis especially if after the guild finishes digging out those ruins u feel like acquiring it as a new citadel.

every warlord needs a citadel. of course your relatively unknown and those that do know likely assume u died in the carnage at the hill. so u have time to pick a proper place and build 1.

might i suggest reaching out to other generic stupid creatures to build up our forces. kobolds are fine but they are in the end just kobolds.

also refrain from killing the hero sister he was a pain before now isnt the time to give him an vendetta.

[Taricus]

Better idea. Turn the hero's sister to EVIL!

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Also kindly,(so as not to piss her off,we can always go the cruel and torturous route later) interrogate question interview her about her brother.

If that doesn't work mimic her shape. It'll probably come in handy at some point. Either in the classic "who's the REAL one" or just to make him hesitate, surely he'll have trouble striking down his own sister.

your twisted use of human psychology brings warmth to my metaphorical void of a heart. (wait do voices have hearts?)

[somebody]

If we can't turn her to evil then dominate her and let Martyn save her then have her kill Martyn while he sleeps or while they head back to town, whichever one is more convenient.

Indeed, Gnolls Might be a good future choice, their big, kinda tough, and not too bright.

Though First we should work on securing the area and Holding our part of the Kobold deal before getting too ambitious.
We over extended our-self last time, and nearly died because of it.

We need those thousand able bodies.
I would say, to start, request at least 200 Kobolds
Get 30 working the land around the fort under the direction of you're builders. We need to set up defenses, homes, barracks, and sources for natural resources other than wood, if possible. plus they'll be gaining the experience needed to lead the fortification of their town once our fort is set up.
Get 20 Making Weapons, if we have someone who can make weapons have them direct this. Training weapons will do for now since we dont have much to work with but, we need them making real weapons fairly soon, best they get learning early.
Have the other 150 train under the dictation of you're Hired Soldiers, and the best of you're indoctrinated soldiers. There's no way we can protect the village with our meager company, Training them in the ways of combat, and eventually, giving them weapons, Will not only allow them to better defend themselves, there bye fulfilling much of our part of the deal, but it will also greatly bolster our number of soldiers, which we quite frankly, desperately need.

[stabbymcstabstab]

I agree with Shiney but we we're to nice with our last prisoner that was from a noticable person just kill her our better yet have the other 'bold village kill her and tell her brother what happened in some form.

Right rather then a hostage to protect us from a righteous hero protecting the people,It'd be better to give said hero A reason for a personal vendetta against us. Roaring rampage of revenge anyone?

[stabbymcstabstab]

Damn you He's the old brother that means he's going to die sooner or later and un top of that his sister most likly has some magical kung fu of instint overlord kill power.
