Have our archers shoot at their archers while the catpult fires nd we charge all combantans and the ram at the weakned portion of the wall.

[Qloos]

Oh god, I'm so hungover, cast Embossed Zone on the enemy archers to try and remember what the hell it does again.

[Armok]

Don't forget we need to not kill some of these soldiers so we can brainwash them for more minions!

[micelus]

The termites are doing their task wonderfully, my minions shall do the rest.

I command the archers to stay in place and fire back at the horrible mug-stealing scum on the battlements while the rest of my troops, battering ram included, will break through via the weakened section of the palisade. The rogue is still hiding behind a crate, and could do quite a bit of damage from the inside. Everyone is too busy trying to fight of the siegers that they ignore my assassin!

The battle progresses...and results are mixed.

The archers are just plain outnumbered. That and all the human archers have crappy bows, and one of them actually broke! We killed two of theirs, but they also got two of mine. Luckily, it was those two idiots with crappy bows.

The breach was made easily enough, but my enemies weren't so dimwitted. They grouped together next to breach just before it became a breach. The men are at stalemate currently.

Oh, and yes, I should really see what Embossed Zone does...lets see...*chants some mumbo jumbo* ...Oh gods thats painful. It pushed the skin inwards of those inside the zone...In other words, the skin itself strangles the poor poor idiot who happens to be inside. It's not pretty.

Shame that it also struck my troops, but lessons can be harsh at times...

Minion Deaths

-2 orc beserkers
-2 orc peasants
-1 dwarven blacksmith
-2 human archers

Enemy Deaths
-4 human guardsmen
-2 elf guardsmen
-4 elf archers
-1 elf spellblade
-6 human peasants

Any more ideas?

(That's what happens when you try a spell that ain't obvious and I happen to roll a 1. Yeah, harsh.)

Use minor dominate on any surviving enemies and make them stand still while your soldiers kill them.

[micelus]

Well there's only three of the scumbags left, but best not to risk it. I use Minor Dominate...But it seems only one of them was affected. Damn. Well no matter, my men will just have to fight properly.

Seems those two idiots were green, barely grazed the flesh of my minions!

Now the fort is mine, and all its supplies as well. I also have my mug back. I'll be drinking some blood now while you voices in my head think up a plan, eh?


Loot!:
Weapons x3
Armour x3
Food x20
Gold x70
Tome of Minor Enchants x1

Oh yeah, I should probably enlighten you guys on how this all started. Problem is I don't remember most of it. I remember sneaking into prisons, jails, cities and inns and gathering my  army. After that I was marching to Syclum but I don't remember why. Then this guy stole my mug! I don't remember the details but now I'm here. Anyway, back to drinking. This guy's blood tastes stale...


A little side note on equipment:

The Overlord may use equipment to power herself up, Thus increasing our magical and physical capabilities. But you may also give the items to your minions, who can then train to become a much more powerful class, or at least get stronger. Giving that tome we found might just get us a spellblade.

Any more ideas?

Give the peasants the weapons and armour, then give them some training.

[Armok]

> Check out the tome, you might learn something.

> Have the dwarf make new equipment for everyone.

[Trapezohedron]

Eat a few pages of the tome to see if I get enchanted with various spells.

[micelus]

A tome, eh? Probably some power in the thing. Let's see....*spends 30 minutes reading* Yes...useful.

Spell Gained: Harden Stone
Spell Gained: Better Sharps

Still no idea what they do though; the book doesn't explain what they do, only how they do it and their names. Well, I don't know if this a good idea or not, but I'll take your word for it and eat a few pages!

*OM NOM NOM*

Oh..I don't think my stomach is made for this....Blegghh! Ah that ain't good...I can't feel my ability to shapeshift...Oh gods...

*Sobs for a few minutes*

Ahh....Perhaps I shouldn't obey everything strange voices in my head says...Should've learned that before...I should go and armour my...minions...

[Gamerlord]

Read 'em.

[Trapezohedron]

Read the writings, then lick the ones colored red, as I might learn to speak parseltongue by doing that.

[micelus]

No red ones. But let's see what they say...

Spoiler: Letter 1 (click to show/hide)

To my dear Lockham

Lockham,

Things are going as planned. The hill orcs have been pacified and we've found the artifact. We're a step closer to getting rid of this foolish king!

The artifact is being sent to you as we speak.

Regards,

Jerald Dimms

Spoiler: Letter 2 (click to show/hide)

Mayor of Syclum,

There is an army gathering against you! Some vile warlord has been freeing prisoners from all over the region. I do not know why the warlord comes, but you best be careful.

Regards,

Jerald Dimms

Spoiler: Letter 3 (click to show/hide)

My Gem,

The mayor is hardening his defenses. All is proceeding as planned, soon the warlord will come be defeated at the walls and then we can extract..- < the rest of the letter is obscured by wax and flame>.

Spoiler: Letter 4 (click to show/hide)

Lockham,

I've taken the fool's artifact, she doesn't seem to want to relinquish it. She has begun a siege of my temporary lodgings. Had I better men on hand I would have rushed out and slayed her, but I do not. I send this message asking for aid.

Your friend,

Jerald Dimms.

...Seems the old fart knew about me before he even stole my mug. Wonder why this mug's so important? And who the hell is this Lockham or this Gem? Many things to find out.

From here I could go and attack Syclum, but it seems they've fortified the town. Not a good idea. Perhaps raiding a few villages or even taking over a few. Or even trying to find some other form of recruitment....
