Ares surrounds the guards in a ring of fire, before attempting to mindwipe them. If this fails, they will all be killed.

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.

Ned attempts to retreat.

 

Grim, congrats on the second banner here that is somewhat how it should look.

(The magic type I will be using is light magic and okay the minions attack with clubs)

mather, you already got away.

grim, i need ur magic type.

(15) the smiths do so. you need to decide what type of paths the gems should take. Frank " your gems can be used in four ways. but you need to find somthing to hold them. do so, and ill tell you more"

(9) you mind wipe half the guards who kill the rest of them. Scathe " good job master! the path is now clear!"

(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.

Erm I already said the type I would be using: Light magic

( grim, it dont matter, but i was just saying the minions dont need to sue clubs on some tougher opponents.)

(8) Grim: you get 50 gold, 5 life force orbs, and a gem. you gain +.2 light magiks.

I go out and scout for something that can hold the gems.

 

Also does that mean the smith has sorted out all metals (give a list please), made my armor and made weapons and armor for my 30 minions guarding my lairs?

Karl and his minions go out scouting again. (just as a note to the location of the plains they are in the southern area so to speak).

(7) you find a single animal skull, to hold more, you must find another.

(20 bars of shoddy iron. 30 bars of good iron. 15 bars of perfect iron.)

no, ICU, they havnt, there are only three of them, and you need more for it to go any faster. at current pace, they can finish in 5 actions.

(10) Grim: you find some more dead guards, but have no indication of who killed them

Karl checks the guards for weapons/armor before giving his last respects and moving on.

Ned sets the gnomes to mine for metals, gems and minerals.

He then sets some minnions to create a large clay forge.

Then he and some guards go out looking for a raven, crow, dove or magpie, or possibly an even larger bird.

I'm okay with that,

 

I scout for something to hold my gems in armor.

(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.

WOOPS! sorry retech! i thought you meant your human contingent! and yes they are invis.

(3) Grim: the guards have already been looted thouroly, suggesting another overlord. ( maybe maybe not. there are NPC overlords in this game)

(16) Mather: the gnomes find 40 bars of pure iron, 10 gems, and some einherjarium. the minions make a huge stone forge. the minions find an eagle.

(4) Umbra: you find nothing, but you are atacked by some angry humans. they number in 10, and carry clubs

(14) Retech: it is just a magic user disguised as a demon, and he is killed by your minions slitting his throut. you gain control of another minion artifact ( you can now control 15 minions!) you have 295 cave dwellers left. Bob " 15 minions are now under your control! 15! thats double the average brain cells in the average sheep!"

I set my 10 minions to even it out, I then fire bolts of shadow from afar.

(13) Umbra: your shadow bolts kill half of them. +.3 shadow magiks. the minions kill the rest. you gain 5 smith life force, 5 brown life force, a skull, and another random life force shipment comes in. this numbers in 10.

Karl and his minions continue on scouting.

The gnomes delliver the metals to the forge and continue mining, the minnions take a break and Ned and his guards try to tame the eagle. Gender please?

Ares loots the temple, before razing it, and burning the earth around it so nothing can grow

(15) Grim: you hapen upon a camp, numbering 50, with 2 gnome cages and farming tools, animals, and seed. ( im trying to give everyone the basic building blocks of the lair. the next parts will not be easy.)

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)

Karl talks to the people and asks if they would wish to join with him.

(14) Mather: the gnomes fnd 4 more gems, and deliver the lot of it to your forge. you hasve a female eagle already tamed:

(19) Ross: upon a stroke of luck, you find another artifact ( of your choice) has been left by nervous townsfolk. you gain this wuth the three other artifacts ( one mana, one health, one minion) and the smith hive.
