Ok that kid is going to die use the staff to smoke out the little shit then use his head as our thrones decoration and eat hs dog.

>Make a map of the Hillfort. seriously, it would be helpful to know the layout of the place
>Try to see if we can't get operations going on, like a mining operation possibly.
>Try to learn about the kid, see who he is, maybe even try to get him to join us, or at least stop messing with us.
>Can we enchant helmets or masks with Dominate spells? Can we try to convert new followers by making prisoners wear them?
>Is it possible to create new spells?
>Try to figure out our weakpoints. is there a crack in the wall that an enemy can exploit? when we find them, try to note it so that when we can, we can remedy it.

>(Prepare to see my horrible GIMP skills!)
>Yes. But it takes time for these things to work...Unless I can get some new spells...
>Yes, with the right words and equipment.
>Well, there's still that huge hole we used to get into the fort in the first place...

Spoiler: Horribly drawn map of fort (click to show/hide)

There's supposed to be a 0.5 metre deep ditch around the fort except for the western side, which has no ditch.

[yourfears]

slap the minion who decided to store all your ill gotten goods outside the walls

fix or at the very least disguise the gaping hole in your wall

write back to the fool who thinks he is your better. you were already a lord its part of the title warlord. have rogue lace letter with something "delightfully evil"

make the kid stay awhile and listen hes more trouble than hes worth. there are other more compliant locals to exploit

rob travelling merchants any self respecting overlord has a better treasury to spend on himself

[micelus]

((The storage areas is actually that "room" next to the barracks.))

I've had enough of the brat!

"Child, come out...I just want you to...STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN!"

In that instant, the staff changes form and spews hot, deadly flame into the surrounding area. Does nothing else though. Nothing burnable means nothing gets burnt. Ah well.

And now the boy insults me; I hear snickering echoing from the ruins...Well the minions have excavated a corridor so I'm a step closer to flaying the child's skin! I've also noticed that there's some writing on the walls in the ruin. Shame I can't read it.

*An hour later*

I've started basic mining operations in the ruins. Although I now have a source of stone, clearing the ruin will take longer.

The raiders have once again failed to bring food; Their minds say that the hero ambushed them in the woods. 3 raiders died.

I've also posted some minions around the hillfort to rob passing merchants and a few others to fix the breach we made. While they do that, I'm going to test the artifacts.

*2 days later*

That was disappointing...All but 3 of the artifacts were non-magical. The remaining artifacts are as follows:

Another Strange Geometrical Cube
Glowing Tablet-A tablet written in an unknown alphabet. The letters glow pink when magic is nearby, otherwise, it looks like a normal tablet.
Sphere of Chaos-A sphere of Chaos acts like a...matrix (I hope I'm using the word correctly) of spells. Cast a fire spell at it, and you might end up with a storm of flame. Or you might be incinerated. Incredibly rare.

Well, results are mixed. The breach couldn't be fixed; the termites did a really good job at weakening the wall, in fact, it seems like the whole side is weaker. Also, most of the lumber was burnt by accident. The fools I assigned to the job are obviously being punished, although they're getting off lightly since they got run over by logs multiple times. As for the merchants, it was an overwhelming success. My minions were found a huge merchant train laden with goods. Even better, the idiots hadn't brought any guards!

good now laugh maniacally in front of the prisoner/soon to be servants. because gloating is part of the job description.

use the stone to build a better wall a termite free wall at least in the weakened area. u never leave urself vulnerable to other warlords who clearly already know the "you keep what u kill" law of the land.

seek counsel from the other voices and possibly enlist the aid of a local construction team lured in by your new found wealth and kept via dominance, the current minions r lacking in constructive skills.

[Armok]

(I think you mean amplifier)

> check if the books are worth reading.

> check if any ot the mecant could be any use as minnions.

[antlion12]

How does that tablet react to the ruins i wonder no way to find out unless we test it right?

[leone313]

Are the writings on the tablet in the same language as on the walls?
If yes, Concentrate your efforts on trying to decipher the tablet, you can then use it as a kind of Rosetta stone to understand the engravings.

Read the letters, this will help you know a by more about your surroundings.

[stabbymcstabstab]

just minonize them right now we don't have time for any thing evil and have them start to rebuild the wall and set a trap for the kid's dog and when we get it kill the damn thing that will break the kid.

[micelus]

I gloat in front of the idiotic merchants, not too much though.

*gloats for a day*

Indoctrination Time: 3 Turns

OK, maybe that was too much...Now on to more important business. I've gotten some minions to repair the breach with some stone, although it's pretty crappy. We don't have any dedicated builders here after all...Perhaps I should send word out that I need a construction crew? That's a good idea actually. I've sent a minion to look for one.

As for the books...They're all bloody erotic novels! No wait, the last one isn't, it's a guide to being erotic. These merchants are weird...Weapons, erotic books, food and horses? What kin-Oh. Even as an amoral overlord I'm severely disgusted.

I've spent some time at the ruins. The minions have cleared another room. No idea what it was for though. I've brought the tablet to try and decipher the alphabet.

*An hour later*

It seems some of the letters are magical; they store pure magic! I still have no idea what they say though. The tablet is the same language as the letters on the walls. I've also ordered a trap for the boy's dog...But the minions say they haven't seen it for days.

After all this, I go back to my rooms and read the letters.

Three of them are simply letters of credit. The other two however, are something more:

To Holder Arquette,

We've found some ruin out near Gohad; a temple or something. Not entirely sure. We need some translators, could you send some?

Ever Yours,

Questioner Hamen.

To D,

We've had reports of a new warlord raiding several villages...Recently however, a peasant by the name of Martyn has been setting up defenses all over the region. I hear that he's even requesting aid from the nobles...I still don't know whether we should intervene. Just an information report.

From S.

Interesting...Incidentally, my raiders have actually gotten some food. Seems the peasant boy can't be everywhere.

have rogue poison the wells in the neighboring villages that have become to difficult to raid. with luck they'll just submit after all peasants dont have the best willpower and you have the only viable water source within easy use

[NRDL]

They might come to kill the warlord, though.  This plan could be useful to draw the defenders out, and sack the defenseless place.  I don't think they'll just give up due to well-poisoning.  Fatigued, angered, and inconvenienced, sure, but not to the point where they'll even consider surrender. 

So, Micelus, please have our warlord recruit, lots of recruiting.  By brainwashing or by actually fairly hiring some people.
