hmmm this may require your personal appearance changing.

find a relatively secluded area surely there's a quarry or something around here u can use as a temporary bastion and the stone walls would be an improvement.

make yourself appear human.

either use your new human form to enter a local village in something less than your usual grand attire but not to meek. perhaps as a trader u certainly have the animals for it u can even claim you heard about the new overlord everyone knows he is a real monster and that's why you have come to sell weopens to help them defend themselves. take a room at the tavern and during your stay slowly indoctrinate the locals.

alternatively head to the major town and if some1 questions you for why u have these armed men their protection for your goods on these dangerous roads. treat the guards to a few rounds every night while u indoctrinate them. having the local barkeep keeping u informed is no small thing plus free room and no1 would expect the evil overlord to go where he is most likely to be targeted

Turn into an elven princess. Have your minions stage a kidnapping when the hero comes by. After he slays your minions, he'll do the generic hero bow, which is when we stab him in the back of his neck.

GENIUS but first do we still have that kid locked up I say we kill the little bastartd now just kill him bash in his skull or stab him just kill him so he can't rate us out!

[micelus]

He's gone.

[yourfears]

kid died in the old hillfort wich i imagine is a pile of rubble now on top of a ruin

[micelus]

(Yeah, your plans didn't work out. At all)

While I may be out of a base, I still need recruits. I've sent some minions to scour the land and the results are good.

soldier-melee 4
soldier-projectile 2
stealth-1

Of course, since they haven't been brainwashed, they expect payment. Bloody idiots to demand payment from me!

After this little recruitment stop, I order the troops to move on, away from the enemy troops, the hill fort, the ruins, and this blasted fire.

*A day later*

We were once again attacked. I sent off the minions to strike at a weak-looking village. When they entered it, they found nought but dirt and filth. They were soon enough surrounded by the damnable hero! It's like he's hunting me down...I lost 8 minions.

I immediately got the minions to continue on, to look for a securable area, such as a quarry. They found nothing but dark beasts...

That's it. Time for something crafty...This might take awhile

*A week later*

I've turned myself into a bloody elf and I've ordered a ruse to be done. I shall pose as a kidnapped princess and my minions will try to be the kidnappers. The hero will see this and come to the rescue. After killing my foolish minions, I'll stab his throat!

*2 days later*

Did. Not. Work. I'm not saying what happened, but 4 of my minions are dead and the peasant almost killed me! I'm starting to believe it was foolish to trust you voices at all...

Oh, and we've found food.

PTW on here.

I'd say finding somewhere to bunk down which has resources it the most vital at this point. Somewhere with a river, quarry and near trees.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Have the builders build a fort in the forest near a river using trees covered in dried mud to make them fire proof.

[Trapezohedron]

> Polymorph into a shoggoth of Epic Proportions, and kill everyone in the hero's entourage. It's the only way you're going to win this battle.

[yourfears]

well i dare say we need to go to an extreme either subtly or over the top carnage not like we can set the forest on fire or anything

whos idea was it to directly challenge the hero whos been blocking us at every turn?

i still vote for the tactical retreat and recruitment i like the new base by the river but that might take awhile

[Armok]

Maybe we should just shapeshift into some kind of extremely long distance flying thing, and restart on another continent.

[Shiney]

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?

[stabbymcstabstab]

How about just turn into a human peasant and run away with our human,elf,and dorf slaves and all of our hired troops and get far away from here and hide for awhile slowly expanding our forces and leave the rest goblins, animals, kobolds, a elf or two and but take our strong more normal locking animals donkeys, horses, cows and take as many of our weapons and armor as we can too.

[NRDL]

Recruitment, recruitment, recruitment.  Payment is trivial, warlords need troops.  Keep moving, throw the hero off your trail.  A fort would be no good right now, an army led by anyone could crush it.  And that scheme with the shapeshifting didn't work, so let's not rely on tricks.  Same tactics of looting, and pillaging defenseless sites, but be more careful for ambushes. 

[stabbymcstabstab]

The shapeshifting is for any one that isn't out there to kill us so we can hopefully run away to some town somewhere and hide for awhile and not be attacked by the locals.
