Balthanor should take more than one cultist with him. I'd say, the ten with the highest mental might.
No, big group is much less stealthy, for minor guys we can always use the circles, in fact i'll update the plan to send that magically gifted poor souls

He should also create more crystals for his new apprentices, by using the Source of Evil in the asylum.
NO!. This will drain the power of Asylum, we don't want this


And I see CFM as a nice trojan horse
1) Kingdom of Barrtal assembles a big army, and, more importantly, send almost all their mages\priests with it
2) Bunch of trained Necromancers led by Balthanor attack the lightly guarded capital, raise new armies from the killed enemies and turn capital it in a big undead city

Twelve travellers (the necromancer, the child cultist, and the ten other cultist) fleeing from the destruction near Akataki and trying to reach the capital wouldn't be surprising at all. There must be tons of refugees fleeing the area right now.

Also, the Source of Evil is 'Nearly bottomless' and the crystals only generate 5 mental might. Since the necromancer has only 10 mental might and I doubt that any trained cultist will reach that, crystals are very important to get competent mages. Besides, if the necromancers don't have the power to create powerful spells by themselves, they'll be forced to use the source of evil anyway. I think the crystals are a worthy investment.

Maybe, but single traveler with a child even more stealthy. And in that way Balthaor can concentrate on teaching the kid, while Acolytes in CFM. will give basic education to the new mages

Only 5 mental might? ONLY? It's a very powerful artifact, remember what effort was put in Barrsdoom, artifact of similar power and I reaaaaaally doubt that we can create dozens as you suggest, maybe one more by draining "Nearly bottomless" source of evil

As for source of evil - Asylum, Balthanor's crystal and future killings. Isn't enough?

Hey, a couple questions about Akatrees:

1) What is the approximate gestation time?

2) When Akatrees span the countryside, how do we prevent cultists from being accosted by the trees? (Without our say so)

When the child reach a certain age, she could be sent to travel around the contryside with her pets to gain strenght and power. As the father started all alone, the daughter should do the same.

Our daughter is smarter than the average human. I am sure she could start to train. You have to begin early you know. Freaud style.
And, he is a Necromancer, I dont think he is stupid enough to think he can get away with that.

for organisation: cultists in foreign towns (aka not within our domination) shall organize by cells of 16, and sub-cells of 4. With each cultist only knowing 4 other cultists (I caculated: if carefully put, it can link every cells and sub-cells strongly, with minimals risks of getting busted by torture and all the "give-me-your-accomplices-names" thingie.

Our daughter is a future fire mage, not a necromancer

It would, in fact, be litterally impossible for your daughter to become a necromancer, as necromancy is mortals using demonic magics despite the limitations of their human bodies. Your daughter, not sharing these limitations, would not need to learn necromancy to use demonic magic, nor would she ever fall 'victim' to its corrupting effects, on account of already being corrupted.

Which is not to say that she couldn't learn something about using her powers effectively from a necromancer.


Aaaanyway. Can we get a consensus all up ins?

1) What is the approximate gestation time?
~3 months, though the child/seed will not be born in winter- if it is 'ready to be born' in winter, it will 'wait' until spring.

UR's plan it is.
