Retech

Jen assembles her grand army and begins training them in squads. Ten dwarves for each of the elves, with twenty dwarves and thirty humans for herself. They all fall under her control, and she also controls all their minions. She waits until Bob deciphers the code. She checks up on the status of the dwarven mining, to see what they've found.

(War machine is more like, her armies, not a literal war machine) Jen asks her dwarven smiths to create small daggers for her minions. Once this is done, as are the rest of her armor and weapons, then she goes with her elven commanders, 100 dwarves, 30 humans, and 60 minions to find this new minion hive.

Jen attempts to recover. (The stairs were supposed to be safe for her. :P)

Jen releases the two dissenters, and says that any elves that wish to leave may do so, but that great rewards remain for those who stay. She reminds them of their accomadations, and tells them they will be leading armies soon. Meanwhile, Jen asks fifty dwarves to go digging to try and find and stockpile metals, for preperation for a war machine. Jen, her fifty dwarves, and 30 human soldiers, go scouting for something to fight, to pass the time.

Jen returns to her lair and asks the dwarves to make ten sets of plate robes, ten wizard hats, and ten quarterstaves. She also asks them to make another fifty dwarven armor/weapon sets, which will take how long? She gets the dwarves near her lair to prepare housing for the elves, luxury housing (so this is my "good" tactic, since elves seem rare and powerful). Jen asks them for their abilities (are they good at bows, swordsmanry, magic, etc)

Jen has one of the invisible minions get the dropped invisiblity amulet before the elves get it. She gets her minions to back off and asks again. "What is your decision?" If they say that they will never join, Jen orders the soldiers to beat the elves till near death, before they are bound and brought back to camp for...other purposes.

Jen goes to Grim's tower, to give him the Mystril. After that, she returns to her tower in preperation for Nex's arrival. (I'm going to try to find the nemesis, but I want to finish this test with Nex first, if that's okay with you.)

Jen tells the elves that they must join her to survive. She offers them the chance to be the commanders in her armies. In the meantime, the dwarves surround the elves, and her invisible minions get ready to pounce behind them, if they prove hostile. The impressive show of strength, coupled with the frightening spell and the offer, will hopefully make them join her.

4:48 :P

Jen examines the cyan metal very carefully. If the effect seems to be something that isn't about life draining (not my kinda thing), then Jen takes one bar of mystril, one bar of the cyan metal, and one bar of einherjarium, before returning to her tower.

Yay, dwarves! Mwahahahahahahahaha Jen equips the 50 trained dwarves with the battle axes, shields, helms, and platearmor. She now has...50 dwarves with fun fun axes! Yay! (Can I just call them dwarves? :P) Jen goes scouting with her army of 15 minions, 15 hallies, 15 swordies, and 50 dwarves for stuff to pillage and people to kill/conquer.

Jen goes in and examines the various metals, thinking about which three she should take.

Goblins? I thought they were dwarf-like. That's why I was making axes for them. Jen sends a welcoming present to her fellow overlord: a gem. Meanwhile, she checks up the progress of the training cave dwellers. Then she goes exploring for a dwarf-like race to take over. She tells her cave dwellers to reproduce, hoping to make an additional 100 of them at some point, for sacrifice. So basically she's heading out exploring with her 15 minions and the halberdiers and sword-buckler.

Well if it takes you a while to get up, and I return from my errand, there might be a few...large snowballs rolling down the cliff for ya. :P

Aren't cave dwellers like humans? I was using cave dwellers as my fighting force. Jen returns to the cave dweller tunnel, which is her second base, and asks them to forge 50 battleaxes, 50 sturdy shields, 50 helmets, and 50 platearmors of decent quality. She creates five normal minions to make her contingent 15 minions, 30 sword buckler folks, 30 halberdiers, and she also creates 2 more smithy minions to help the cave dwellers do the smithing. She asks how long the smithing will take. She asks 50 more cave dwellers to practice using clubs, swinging them like battleaxes. Meanwhile, Jen sends ten cave dwellers with invis pendants scouting, trying to find loot or other overlords (maybe I can find Mather, since we seem to be in the same climate :P)

You mean you're trying to get up to my tower. :P

(10) Retech, you dont have enough people to do so. you only have 30 people... Retech: you and your 15 halbediers, and 15 sword/ buckler soldiers follow the lone soldier inf ront to the cave. he says he will not go back in there. ^ I thought I had 200 cave dwellers, half in the original cave and half near my lair. Then you take off the twenty or so people that may have been killed, and it seems I have enough. Jen sends in the invisible minions (they all have invisibility amulets, since you said I got many of them) to sneak into the cave and report back what they find. If there is the standard demon, then the halberdiers are ordered to march in a solid line with halberds in front. The minions are to attack the demon's weak spots, and Jen fires ice beams and stuff at it.

Jen asks the guard to tell her where the demon thingy is, and that she will avenge the guard's friends, if he will follow her. She returns to her lairs, and asks how the weapons and armor is going. If they are completed, she tasks 20 people as halberdiers and 20 people as sword/buckler soldiers. Then she asks the guard to lead them to the demon, so that she may slay them.

Jen checks up on the progress of her weaponary and armor being built. Then she heads out with ten wolfback minions in search for another kind of hive, or another artifact which will allow her to hold more minions.

Jen kills five more cave dwellers to create five more regular minions, bringing her total up to ten. (Can I have minions working at my lair and not have that as part of my limit? If I can't, then I make 2 normal regular minions). The three smith minions are told to receive metals from the cave dwellers, who should be mining. They are asked to help the cave dwellers make weapons and armor, in the secondary cave. Jen asks the smith cave dwellers and the smith minions to make 20 swords, 20 bucklers, and 20 halberds, while the tanner people with the cows should make 40 leather vests. She tells 40 men to start training using sticks.

Jen calls over cave dwellers one at a time, trying to take out the people not in families, and slaughters them to feed life force to the hive. She does this one at a time, so she only kills as many as she has to. After that, she attempts to spawn as many minions from the new hive as possible.

Jen brings 100 cave dwellers out with her back to her lair and sets them to work chopping wood, building homes for themselves, and farming. The other 100 cave dwellers are to continue living in the cave, and make some armor and weapons for themselves and the minions when she gets back. Jen asks Bob what should she do with her new hive.

"Excellent. I guess I will spare you. Now you may be rewarded in the future, but you have yet to prove yourself...Wait here, and I shall tend to you in five minutes. What is in the next room?" Jen, her four minions (except invisible), and ten cave dwellers, wander into the next room to get the loot, if it's there. If not, the cave dwellers that swore allegiance are to convince the guards of the ghosts, to win them over as well. So she keeps going to the loot.

In the confusion, Jen rushes in the other four minions, who are hopefully hard to see in the panic. They are also instructed to start slitting people's throats. After a good minute of that, Jen walks in and demands completely obedience, or else "she will leave and the ghosts in the room will finish the rest of them off."
