It seems you waited too long however.
A small village has been started near the ruins of your tower...

What dark powers do we command?

What do we have to work with?

>>24770080
Wait some more. They'll probably leave.

>>24770080
start working towards becoming the leader of this small village, they will make excellent minions.

>>24770104
>>24770111
>>24770123

If we have necromancy at our command, we can make them into excellent minions

>>24770080

It seems that your power has waned significantly in the time you have been resting.
While before you could summon legions of the damned to serve you, you now find it difficult to summon so much as a flare of dark energy.

Still, you are skilled with a sword. That counts for something.

>>24770111
People like this tend to simply multiply.

>>24770157
Right now you could probably reanimate a small mouse.

>>24770169

Seconding that we wait some more... We just need to play the waiting game...

>>24770198
go on a quest for the leader of the villagers to earn his favor

>>24770198
find the minion burrows and the tower heart? Where is that lazy git gnarl?

>>24770198

We wait. We wait some more.

And while we wait, we animate small rodents, day by day, week by week.

With time we will unleash a horde of plague-ridden undead rodents upon the world!

>>24770198

Curses. Is there any way for us to disguise ourselves? Do we have a cloak or something handy? We could wander into town and pretend to be a traveling sell sword and scope things out

Reanimate a small mouse
Use it for scouting

>>24770198
For starters, dress up in something that doesn't scream 'Evil Overlord' and head into town.

We need information.

>>24770213
Why should we do a quest for a tiny village elder?

>>24770266
to get in a position of power and influence within the town.

>>24770281
Okay.... If we're going with this plan. Can we time-skip to when we have our hoard of zombie-rodents?

>>24770281
Get Gnarl
Find the loyal brown Minions
Raid the countryside for souls
Unleash them to enslave the village once you can

You idle away a few years, waiting for more of your power to grow.
Now you can summon skeleton imps. They may be the reanimated bodies of already dead imps but a few are still enough to take down most men.
Your control over the elements has increased as well. Before a small fireball was all you could summon but now you can wrap your entire body in a cloak of flames.

In the time you have been waiting the village has grown. Everyone once in a while you hear the joy of festivals, perhaps even a wedding or two.

>>24770238
>>24770265
Why would the Overlord wear anything other than the most evil of armor?

>>24770355
Do we know the timing of the festival? I say a good slaughter is in order

>>24770355
Alright, let's go subjugate some villagers.

>>24770355
we should sneak out to the graveyard and work on reanimating dead humans.

>>24770368
Seconded
SLAUGHTER THEM WITH YOUR MINIONS
Actually, you should find the Brown Minions, they always stay the longest

>>24770355
Send five skimps out at night to capture the village idiot and bring him back here

>>24770355
We can reanimate dead imps, can we reanimate people too?

How many can we summon?

First, we need info.

In the dead of night we will go into town, find the nicest house and kidnap the residents. Rich folk usally have more information than peasants.

We will question/torture/mind-rape them for an update on the modern world and local area.

>>24770422
Why would we want the village idiot?

>>24770453
Exactly, no one would expect it.

Or send a minion. Maybe a spy, a spy that the people can trust.

Why, no one would ever expect this to be the face of their doom.

>>24770453
A village idiot who sits outside homeless all day would see and know a lot, moreover, wouldn't be missed and would not be believed if he escaped

>>24770462
No one will care either.

>>24770368
>>24770412

Can we gather some information before we rush into the slaughter. For all we know, there could be a sickly good Lord and his army just over the hills.

Skimps, what a delightful name. You send out a few of them to do recon. It seems at the moment that you can summon a total of 12 at any one time. 5 should suffice for simple recon. They will find out more about the village, including it's weakness.

No need for kidnapping an idiot. Instead...

>>24770431
Soon the Skimps return with the information you need. You know that in the center of the town live the wealthiest of the people. Under the cover of night you leave...

>"Hey! You there!"

Hrm... It seems you were spotted...

>>24770491
We should go grab the mayor or whoever runs the place.

>>24770499
"You dare address me in such a way, Worm?!"

>>24770499
"No! YOU there!"

>>24770499
Wait for them to respond before we slaughter them. They could be a willing servant, and those are always nice.

>>24770499
Hey, me here! Then gut him

>>24770489
Well, I guess we could try the village idiot. I'm skeptical of how much use he'll be but it won't really cost us anything.

If he doesn't have anything we'll just zombify him and grab someone else.

>>24770499
WHO BE IT
If it's a FIIINE woman, see if she can't be corrupted and become your mistress.
If not, kill him and steal his soul; it'll be useful once the Minions come back around

>>24770499
Ask what he wants, if he comes close envelop self in flame cloak, run around screaming fall over and pretend to be dead

>>24770499

It seems we've found our first undead servant. The skimps kill him.

>>24770499
>Hrm... It seems you were spotted...

Grab him, take him for questioning/torture/mind-rape.

We need to keep him quiet, might as well get some use out of him.

>>24770550
Which reminds me, we may need to keep some alive for blood sacrifices in order to open a gate to hell, amusement, and to be broken into willing warriors.

You turn around and see the one who spoke to you in such a rude manner is a simple peasant man.
Dark red flames grow around your body as you say in your most menacing voice.

"I am the Overlord! You dare address the dark lord in such a way!?"

>>24770643

>>24770643

"And then he was all like thats cool man but people are trying to sleep."

So I turned the flames down and whispered angrily to him how rude he was.

He then apologized and we went our separate ways.

Can we devour his soul to power ourselves?

Or is there any other way to speed up our recovery?

>>24770688
It ain't a woman? Damn, just capture him, steal the information from his mind, and gut him.

>>24770709
Yes, and that would be a fine way to gain back power.

>>24770725
Very well.

You punch the man through his gut, your sharp gauntlet tearing through his skin like soft dough. Before he can even scream his soul is sucked out and his body changed into that of a minion.

The soul fuels your powers and with it you gain some knowledge of the village. You know that the next festival is soon and even where the mayor of the town is.

>>24770789
Festival might not be a good time to strike, everyone is alert and awake... We should raid the village at night and execute sleeping villagers for their delicious souls.

Speaking of, is there a favored minion you have had which is living? Because ruling over undead or an empty wasteland is rather boring.

>>24770789
Time to practice Subjucation!
Also, ask the minion where the hell Gnarl went.

>>24770829
Or browns for that matter anon. Also op you are awesome for trying to run a evil quest just make sure you run with an iron grip to deal with white knight scum.

>>24770825

why kill them when we can use their faith as fuel instead.

HAIL THE OVERLORD! PRAISE THE OVERLORD

>>24770789
>You know where the mayor of the town is.

Kidnap the mayor and anyone else in his household. Take him back for a through mind-rape.

Can we enslave minds?

Mind-slaving the mayor and gaining control of the town sounds useful.

>>24770849
That will have to wait until we know we have the power to back it up.

>>24770848
Yeah, some serious shit must have went down for the Browns to have buggered off.

>>24770849
CAN we do so? If we can subjugate then lets get to it.
Subjugate the mayor, have him arrange for people to come see you one by one so you can subjugate them all.

>>24770825
Yeah, attacking during the festival might not be a good idea. Killing, and stealing souls at night is a good way to raise our power but it will raise the alarm soon. We just kill few hobos to not attract attention.

>>24770905
Please boi
They'll think its some Werewolves or something like that
Come to think, were Werewolves even in the Overlord series?

Breaking minds is not your area of expertise. You specialize in destruction and reainimation. Anything else you only have the most basic of skills in.

>>24770829
The name sounds familiar but you are not certain as to why. Perhaps he was the minion of a cousin of yours?

It matters not. With a few Skimps in tow you manage to go deeper into the village without incident. It seems the security of the place is rather lax. They have grown dull in your absence.

Using the knowledge gained from your newly acquired soul you manage to find the Mayor's home.
It is far too easy...
You manage to capture the man and take him away back to your ruined tower. He is a fat man, one who has led an easy life.

He looks around with eyes that only the rich can have.

>"I say, how dare you kidnap me you fiend! I will have your head rolling in the morning if you do not let me free!"

Just a quick look into his thoughts show he is weak in both mind and body

>>24770939
I think red riding hood was one

>>24770905
I was honestly thinking we take the entire town in one night. Nobody will survive to raise an alarm as we work through the night.

Of course, that was assuming we do not have the power of subjugation... but even if we do I feel we are too weak right now. We should harvest this one town and then subjugate the next one... Assuming QM even gives us the power of subjugation at all.

Also, someone mentioned gaining power from being worshiped by subjects, this is definitely not canon so its another question of "do we have such a power"?

>>24770956
>Breaking minds is not your area of expertise. You specialize in destruction and reainimation.
Kill him for his soul, go door to door, house to house, killing every person in the night for the soul. And reanimate the whole village afterwards.

>>24770956
Give him a swift backhand. Inform him that if he does not mind his tongue he will have it ripped from his head and fed to him

>>24770983

But that is easy. If we leave some alive we can enlist the poor souls and have them act like us and raid near by villages for slaves to rebuild or keep into a giant castle.

>>24770966
How big is the town?
Depending how many people live here we simply might not have enough time to quietly kill them all without anyone raising the alarm.

>>24770983
Playing a truly evil overlord for once, I approve. If we don't start immediately this will turn into "pragmatic" overlord who has more good deeds than bad.

We should try to get info from the fat man first though, we did go through the trouble to kidnap him.

>>24771053
I'm glad we don't have mind control. I hope we never get it, either. Necromancy and raw destructive might, you kneel or you die. end of story. Game over.

>>24771023
>We can a persons knowledge by eating his soul, this is how we found the mayor
>We suck at subjugation
>He would be found to be missing before long and the village will become more alert

What? Why?

>>24771053
>Depending how many people live here we simply might not have enough time to quietly kill them all without anyone raising the alarm.
True, but we specialize in necromancy, and we gain magical power with each murder. By the time they notice there would be a large army of undead in their town. Also we can start some fires with our fireballs.

>>24771053
Aye, get the info, but I think we should make him eat as much as he can while till we find the Browns, then give them him for their own use.

>>24771087
Because it is fun? We are an overlord and this boy is being rude to us? Because evil?

>>24771087
You're tight on both accounts. Lets do some evil then.
Eat souls, raise an army of skellies and then take a break for few decades

"Enough. You will not speak to me unless I have asked you a question. Is that understood?"

He spits at you in reply.

"..."
======================================

It only takes a few moments before he sees the error of his ways.

"Have we reached an understanding?"

He nods.

>Why torture for info?

Soul draining only provides very basic details. Besides, this is fun.

Now that he is more open to discussion is there anything you wish to ask the man?

>>24770956

First, torture/mind-rape until we have any useful information he might have.

Second, soul-suck and minionise him.

If the mind-rape doesn't raise any warning flags. Return to town and kill most of them in their sleep. Kidnap and skilled craftsmen or fine bitches that could be useful and take their families for leverage. Soul-suck the rest and gain power.

>>24771106
We are specifically torturing him for INFO not for FUN...
If you want to torture him for FUN then please explicitly say so.

>>24771144
I was cool with torturing him for both actually. Evil Overlord: Multi-tasker

>>24770956
QUESTION:

Do we want to ransom this guy, or do we want to raid his family?

I mean, we could do both, I suppose, but it wouldn't make us any more money than just raiding.

>>24770939
They did exist in the wii spin off(short but fun) and pretty nasty bastards too, also fairies are dicks even by Overlord standards.

>>24771120
Ask how long the tower has been around.
Ask about missing minions.
Ask about local power houses.
Ask about rumors(to investigate later)
Ask about history.

>>24771120

As mayor of shitstain on my dorrstep ville who is the lord in charge of the surrounding lands, how often do you answer or send info to him?

>>24771159
Agreed

>>24771171
Best to kill were planning to raid the village anyway so not much point for for ransoming.

>>24771171
No ransoming. Get info, eat soul, reanimate and then maybe go around the town eating souls and animating skeletons.

>>24771173
Also any knowledge on the assholes who took us down last time. They may have descendants.

>>24771120
>Soul draining only provides very basic details.
Fair enough, I guess this is justified then.

Info we want:
1. Town size
2. Town defenses
3. Town's allegiance (independent colony? part of a kingdom? etc)
4. Which nation is in this area, general info about it (size, army, borders, populace, age, things of note, mages, heroes)
5. Which other nations are around?

>>24771196
Yep, exactly.

>>24770789
>Before he can even scream his soul is sucked out and his body changed into that of a minion

Please clarify. We killed him and turned him into a zombie minion, or, we transformed him into a 'Minion'.

"Hmm... You have been quite helpful."
Anything he hasn't already said will be revealed once you drain his soul anyway.

As you stab him with your gauntlet he lets out a short cry.
As before his soul is added to your collection and his dead body is reanimated as a minion.

>>24771332
huh, fascinating.

Are our minions good at anything other than fighting, by the way?

>>24771367
They are good for pillaging.

>>24771196
No, we will keep him for now. Let him watch as we destroy everything he has worked for, let him become an empty shell of a man who is forced to watch the souls of his own family be devoured before his eyes, break him utterly within and without. Only then will we kill this man.

>>24771332
Excellent. Gather our minions and head into town under cover of dark.

Start killing people in their sleep. Any skilled craftsmen we might need (smith, mason, taylor) will be kidnapped along with their families.

Also, any fine bitches. Overlords need bitches.

We will then take our new slaves and as much loot as our minions can carry and head back to the tower.

We will then send the minions back for and loot they missed.

>>24771442
Oh god dammit, nevermind. We really jumped the gun on that last souls steal, though. Just because we are evil doesnt mean we shouldnt think things out and plan ahead.

>>24771220
Please answer this.

>>24771449
We can secure the Miss Elizibeth to secure the Blacksmith's aid.

>>24771332
We should make our minions steal any and all stray animals and pets. Kill them, reanimate the corpses, then invade the town with their former trusted companions.

>>24771449
And then set them to rebuild the tower.

Question, can we undeadify someone such that they retain their skills?

>>24771442
Too much work for the lulz of it. He has never done anything to us and we don't have the time or power right now.

>>24771499
He is also already dead, so theres that. It really wouldnt be much more work, though. We just had to keep him in the dungeon instead of killing him outright and continue as planned.

Still, though, Im not too broken up about it and will drop it since its a moot point.

Minions are good for basic cannon fodder and pillaging,

>>24771465
Whoops.

Well, this is but one small village. there are many more out there. So many more.

>>24771449
You go out at not with minions and Skimps close behind. Breaking and entering is so easy when there is no need to break anything...
Soon you have drained 4 new souls from various townspeople and kidnapped a priest and a scribe. Not the most useful of people but it is a start.
You also acquire two 'fine bitches'.

>>24771499
They retain most of their skills. A minion created from a strong warrior would still be a strong warrior. They're simply not much for talking.

>>24771479
Hahaha. You had not considered that. The new souls teem with information and you can easily locate this Elizibeth.

As you move through the village you are stopped. A woman's voice calls out to you and you turn to see a knight, clad in armor and holding a shining blade. The blade hurts to even look at and some part of your mind recognizes it as one of the many that destroyed your armor.

>"My grandfather warned me of you! He said one day you would return!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

>"Don't lie to me! I know who you are! You are the dark Overlord, Jezebel!"

You shudder hearing your name. It may not be your full name but it is enough to make you worry.
She needs to die.

>>24771499
>And then set them to rebuild the tower.

Right now I'm thinking of those other towers the mayor mentioned.

We need the power boost and resources but murdering this entire town is going to attract a lot of attention.

Maybe we could move into one of the other towers. One that doesn't have a massacred town next door that will attract every adventurer in the country.

Best of both worlds. New slaves and minions. As much loot as they can carry and a nice secure, secret base to launch our reign of terror from.

>>24771596
Holy relic and were still stuck with week minions crap. Well at least we got magic make sure fodder minions are between us and the bitch. Then began blasting her with destruction magic.

>>24771596
Make her our woman. She has information more than others and might be fun for a while

>>24771596
>Jezebel
What the fuck are we, a Mormon? Anyways, use minions to distract and disarm her, I think we found a better target to break than that boring old mayor.

>>24771596
... do we even have a weapon? No matter, set your skimps to flank her while your minions attack her blade arm.

Then light all the minions on her on fire. Cook her alive.

>>24771657
I believe OP said we have a sword

>>24771596
>They retain most of their skills, they just can't talk
Then why are we even bothering capturing them alive? Minionoize the entire town. Zombie smith is 10x awesomer then living smith who is blackmailed to work for you because his family is captured.

Set every single skimp and minion we have on her. Thats 12 skimps and I believe 6-7 minions? Support them with destructive magic. We really should have been more efficient about this and going door to door rather then faffing about, had we done that we would have more minions by now.

Actually, how fast can you summon? If fast, then rather then destrion magic just summon minions non stop

>>24771642
Oh capture clever...turn the bitch into a dark knight yess I like that well if she survives then yes. Stockholme syndrome here we come. Anyway have minions swarm and us hang while blasting her with magic.

>>24771596

"Sorry, you must be mistaken"

Turn around and carry on with your business like nothing happened in order to anger her. Hopefully she charges at you and into your prepared counterattack.

>>24771596
>She needs to die.

Swarm of minions. Once they dog-pile and restrain her movements, stab her in the face without delay.

I totally agree with you. Hence my love of you Anon. Plus her grandfather clearly told her something, so we need to get on that.

>>24771837
I get that, and its cool idea.
But if we do it we should do so via our strengthes rather then weaknesses. We are worst at mind control and best at necromancy.
Make her into a vampire. Its necromancy based corruption

Killing is easy(less fun/) less rewarding, while corrupting is hard(more fun) yet more rewarding.

>>24771861
>minions
Easy to replenish, as we have tons of corpses in our castle. The main issue at the moment is the ability to raise more than 12 at once.
>somehow
We have time to figure that out. This is going to be our pet project, as something like her is worth more than the entire city. She knows more than the rest of the populace and is powerful to boot
>hope she doesn't fuck everything up
The point would be to contrive a scenario where she corrupts herself on her own blade before she does any damage, not just let her run about willy nilly and hope it sorts itself out.

Has anyone ever heard of stockholme syndrome shit we wont even need any magic just a couple weeks and BAM we got ourselves a corrupted now loyal knight.

Once we have everything of value, I'd prefer to ditch this place. An entire town getting wiped out is going to attract a lot of murderhobos.

I'd like to move into one of those other towers the mayor mentioned. Find one in a nice secure location. No town right next door. A good secret base to launch raids from and begin our reign of terror.

You send them all in. Every Skimp at your command and all your minions.
As they rush her you begin casting all your spells at her. Dark flames and ice fly toward her.

But they all break. The spells fizzle out before they hit her and your minions are killed. The Skimps are easy enough to replace but the minions she strikes down... Not so much.

She stands there, surrounded by the pieces of your minions. She only seems to be slightly wounded, if at all.

>"Is that all you have, demon!?"

>>24773191
She will get tired eventually. Let's send more Skimps

>>24773191
"Best part about the dead is there is always more of them then the living."

then animate yet more dead and send them while this time casting buffs on our minions instead of destruction spells.

get out your sword, charge it with fire and attack.

I am almost impressed. Shall we see how you manage against double their number?

>>24773191

Ok, summon skrimps as fast as you can, then try to stab her while she slaughters them

>>24773191
Force her to strike down the mayor. Make his corpse beg for his life and that she put town her arms and save him while attacking her. While she is distracted and distraught by that, disarm her with our own swordsmanship.

>>24773191
Send more skimps at her while some Minions go inside the building next to her and climb to the roof.
When she is distracted, the Minions can jump on her. At the very least, the impact will jar and distract her.
The moment she is open, lunge in and stab her in the face!

>>24773323

Sadly the ones you gained from those who have been soul drained are gone forever.

You do however still have plenty more Skimps. You summon as many as you can and have them charge her again. She slashes at them, falling down many in one swing.
However for each one she strikes down another appears, eager to take down the swordsman.

Instead of casting spells directly at her you instead use them on your Skimps. Fire surrounds their claws and unlike the direct spells you cast on her these hit.
It takes a few minutes but she soon falls.
The Skimps pry her blade from her hands and once it is no longer in her grasp it's holy light fades.
She kneels there, not begging or anything.

>>24773536
Skimps are a type of imp minion. The other minions you gain from soul draining are more like zombies.

Hmm I doubt she will break without a great deal of torture... Kill and minionize her. She will be an excellent general.

>>24773622
Eat her soul and transform her into an undead abomination that will serve us.

Then carry on with our mission. We've got a whole town to soul-suck!

>>24773685
+1
If you can put extra effort to make her a specific kind of advanced undead like a mummy or a vampire or a zombie do so. But otherwise just move on.

Also, she is not even begging. I don't think we would get info out of her via torture.

>>24773671
>>24773685
Now hold on, folks. Good guys love to gloat about how good prevails in the end, so lets work with that. Shes gonna say something like
>It doesnt matter if I die, X will still stop you!
And now we know that X is gunning for us and that we have to be on the lookout for X.

Consequently, she seems awfully new at this. Young minds are fragile, like eggshells. We just have to crack it a little, either through the destruction of her town or a few choice words. Maybe both.

need info, where did she get a holy blade? and we can keep her locked up for a while if we need to. maybe have her watch as we destroy what she set out to protect. and then, we be nice to her, confuse her, have stockholm syndrome set in. control her without magic.

>>24773806
This this this, a thousand times this. We have to corrupt her slowly.

>>24773760
agreed. Plus, she's a paladin, corrupting her is required, especially if it will make us better at turning living things into our minions. After all, the dead are boring.

Stockholme syndrome time anyone?

>>24773806
She explicitly told us her grandfather said you would one day return. She is probably the granddaughter of an old paladin that settled down in this backwards village.

>>24773897
yes.

>>24773926
Not same anon, but that does not mean we should undead her just because "She might not give up info with torture".

She is more valuable alive for now

>>24773926
>probably
And lets turn that probably into a certainty with a little information gathering. We could even tell her that if she doesnt tell us what we want to know, then we will be forced to ask her grandfather. And we wont be as gentle with him.

>>24773806
>>24773815
>We have to corrupt her slowly with stockholm syndrome

Vote against. Keeping the hero alive like that and giving them a chance to escape, undergo a quest for the magic sword of dues ex machina, then come back and kill us in an epic final showdown has been the end of many Overlords over the years.

Lose strings can be used to hang you.

>>24774007
exactly. better a minion now then a future enemy.

>>24773754
We can hold her while we take care of the town. Then, we see what advanced necromancy can produce for us. A death knight would be awesome

"Is that the best 'you' have young paladin? Beaten by a simple swarm of imps? Not even this holy blade could help you."

>"... Even if I could not defeat you there are others who can. All around there are people like me. People who have sworn their lives to destroying evil Overlords like yourself. You will be taken down. You will fall."

Beyond that she says nothing else. You have the Skimps bind her and take her away to the tower. After you are done with this village you can interrogate her more. Or maybe even make her into a champion minion.

The night goes by uneventfully and soon you have replaced the lost Undead, you even added 2 more to their rank.
However it is becoming day and your powers will wane if you stay in the dark much longer. You make a special note to the Skimps to see if they can gather Elizibeth without much notice.

You return to your tower.
Already the place hums with new energy. The souls you have drained power the magic of the tower, allowing it to slowly recover from it's damage.

The sun rises and in your weakened state you feel your powers slip away. Magic and summoning is now mostly beyond you. Until you become stronger the day will be your bane. While you may be weaker you are certainly not powerless. You do not require sleep, food, or drink.
You have some hours before night falls again.

>>24774046
Interrogate the paladin, and possibly soul drain her if we can do that during the day.

Go to the Paladin and stare at her. Do not speak, do not do anything to harm her. Just stare at her. Drive her mad with the anticipation of her doom.

>>24774106
Occasionally have a minion come in and do something odd, then write something down and leave after staring at her.

And have to again, say >>24774105
soul draining her is not for now

>>24774106
This just stare at her everyday when not torturing/converting her. If were busy we some minions do it for us. All day every day till the day she becomes one of ours. Even then when she glances behind she sees a minion disappear around the corner. Just to send the message that no one can resist even death will not keep you safe from our grasp.

>>24774105
no soul draining.

>>24773976
>She is more valuable alive for now

Why is she more valuable alive? We will gain a lot of her knowledge by soul-sucking her.

By the time we've finished off the entire town, we'll know more than any one of them could have told us.

If the town has a archive or library, we can loot that too for extra intel/something to read in our spare time.

She is a skilled warrior with holy powers that repel us and fuck up our magic. Keeping her alive is a pointless risk.

If you absolutely MUST keep her alive. At least cut her hands and feet off to stop her being a problem.

inb4 she has holy healing powers and regenerates, escapes and becomes our arch-nemesis.

>>24774105
Don't interrogate her on anything important, though. Not yet, anyways. Fuck with her mind by asking her about mundane things like the festival, her aspirations in life, her grandfather. Stuff like that. We want to keep her off balance.

>>24774106

I like this, gloating is fun and all but fucking with her mind a little might have interesting results.

>>24774186
>We will gain a lot of her knowledge by soul-sucking her.
Correction, we will only gain SOME. Likely little more than she has already told us. Of course, we can always threaten to soul suck her in order to learn the location of her grandfather.

>>24774186
Actually we only get glimpses of what they know. Plus not corrupting her shows we are only a shitty Overlord. It is much MUCH more impressive if we can corrupt instead of kill.

>>24774186
>Soul draining only provides very basic details. Besides, this is fun.

Again, at the very least, this. She clearly is of s different sort. She gas given us the basic idea there are more paladins. She is a goldmine. Crippling her might be prudent however

>>24774214
Maybe combine these two - >>24774200 and >>24774105?
Whenever she tries to get us to talk about our nefarious plans, we just ask her about her something mundane in her life.

>>24774170
agreed

>>24774237
Yes, but in our weakened state I'm doubtful we could do much if she rebelled. I also don't think sucking the soul out of someone and turning them into a minon is something a commoner or even a non-archmage magician would know, so it probably is fairly impressive in that sense.

Have the skimps make a nice dinner at a table for two. Bring her there to eat and talk with you, offer to unbind her if she agrees not to try to flee or attack for the duration of the meal. Acting nice is likely more effective than cruelty, and if it doesn't work we can torture her more effectively when our powers return anyway.

>>24774298
Yes, we will impress our forced loyal minions. Do you even dark lord?

As it stands you can drain out her soul, that is always a power you have. Killing her has it's benefits and it's downsides as well. So does leaving her alive.
Perhaps a compromise? You could easily cripple her or even take most of her soul. Few are able to put up any meaningful sort of fight with half of their soul gone.

Either way it seems she is not going to say anything.
You spend a few hours simply staring at her. Your bright red eyes are met by hers and she does not falter. You are able to stand as still as a statue and while her body moves ever so slightly as she breathes or blinks she maintains her posture.

>>24774403
I would prefer crippling. We can always have her fixed when we eventually turn her into an undead vampire or the like. I want her to want us to turn her into a higher ranking undead though.

>>24774403
every night we stare at her eat a little bit of her soul. She'll feel herself slipping away. Becoming weaker and weaker. Eventually she will break. But it will take time.

makes sense, it's only the first day. things like this take time. and we have plenty. have her cuts fixed up but keep her here. a slight drop of kindness will confuse her making the next stare-down better.

>>24774403
Does crippling her / taking half her soul impact our ability to make her into a champion minion as per >>24774046

>>24774403
"What do you think about becoming a vampire? A death knight? A specter mayhaps? I'd like to see if you'd guess right."

Make her into a champion undead.

>>24774403
Is there any way we can return her soul to her, imbued with our dark magics? That way, we can slowly weaken her to about half-death, and then slowly re-imbue her with dark life, all the while she is merely thinking it to be her willful fall to darkness.
>>24774449
Every day, rather. We have work to do at night.

>>24774497
Actually this sounds better. Changing from >>24774445

>>24774403
Don't cripple her, a cripple is all but useless. Staring at her like an autist has accomplished nothing, let's try lowering her guard with kindness.
"You're mortal, right? You need to eat? Do you hunger now?"

>>24774403
Soul steal a little, reanimate a little, soul steal a little, reanimate a little... Lets break her by making want to join us, for glory and ambition! 'eyes glare with passion'

>>24774403
>You could easily cripple her or even take most of her soul.
Yes, suck out half her soul and cut off her hands and feet.

There will be no daring escape and epic quest to defeat us from her!

Let's see the holy bitch hold her tong after this. She'll tell us everything she knows.

Also, cripple her first before the soul-sucking. Just in case she has any sort of 'holy soul' that protects her from that.

>>24774497
Perfect. It'll take months, if not years, but we have time.

>>24774449

EEEVIIIIIIIL

>>24774559
What's the point though? We could just soul-suck her then, and we'd have her martial ability too.

>>24774403
WELL...an overlord does need a son...

>>24774637
I'm pretty sure we are a sentient bit of energy in a armor shell.

>>24774537
>Don't cripple her, a cripple is all but useless

Implying any half decent necromancer can't stitch a few body parts together.

>>24774653
If we just want to do that, we could easily just kill and resurrect her. A corrupt mortal is a lot more interesting. Might be more valuable too, we don't know yet, but since it's not possible to unkill her we should find out.

>>24774559
>cut off her hands and feet.
Why? if we do that she will be useless to us as a minion, and currently she would make a CHAMPION minion if turned.

>>24774497
How is this soul corruption method a better corruption method then sucking her soul? Sucking her soul would:
1. Make her soul a slave to ours which works in our tower
2. Transform her body into a champion minion with most of her skills from when she was alive and using the magics we are best at.

Did we take her sword?
A trophy case full of the sacred swords of former paladins would be a nice bit of decor.

>>24774637
It's sort of unclear if we're actually flesh and blood or just a wraith in a shell of steel and hate.

If we do have fleshy parts though, we'll have us a proper harem like and half decent Overlord.

Might be good to get one anyway. Sort of a 'show harem'. These sort of things impress and it would be nice to have entertainment for guests.

>>24774649
So? gods have children, and we at least have a solid physical form.

>>24774732
We want to corrupt her slowly, twisting what she was into a dark parody of every paladin in the land. We want her very existence to be a willing enemy of what ever force of light still remains in this land.

In short, draining her ASAP as you seem to want to do is no where near as satisfying

Just the word kindness makes you feel a bit ill...

>>24774485
It shouldn't either way. If you steal her soul you can simply return it later. Or take it all and she will retain her fighting abilities.
As an undead though she will have lost the ability to think clearly.
This >>24774497 is possibly the best plan. It fits your schedule better anyway. You have infinite time and so long as she is within your tower she does too.

You reach down and touch the paladin's face. It is a soft touch at first but the tips of your gauntlet sink slightly into her skin. She is still able to maintain her glare until you take a small portion of her soul. No mortal can maintain their composure at that and she is no different. Her eyes glaze over a bit and she looks ready to faint. You release her and simply walk away.
You can return that portion later, after it has been corrupted.

>>24774653
It is still messy work. If she is stupid then you can do this. For now she seems to be too weak to fight back anyway

.>>24774649
You do have a body. However having a son is not on your list of things to do. It would be distracting.
Besides, why have an heir when you are an immortal ruler? Heirs imply that you think you will fall.
You can never truly fall.

>>24774732
>Corruption method
Creates a living and free thinking champion who is still tethered to our will
>Death method
This kills the paladin. Now all we have is a useless hollow shell.

Its basically the difference between a super soldier and a robot of equivalent strength. Both are damned useful, but only one can think on its on and provide valuable insight as well as useful information about the surrounding area.

>>24774790
We should have a harem either way. Though if we can't actually partake, it's more for appearances than anything else.

>>24774403
No crippling, no draining.

>>24774806
>Me: How is corrupting her slowly superior method of corrupting then using the method we are most magically proficient with
>You: We want to corrupt her slowly, twisting what she was into a dark parody of every paladin in the land. We want her very existence to be a willing enemy of what ever force of light still remains in this land.
And that does not in any way answer my questions... WHY do you want to corrupt her slowly?

>>24774839
Ok, we got confirmation that soul corrupting gives a superior minion and that it is within our power. Case closed, moving on.

>>24774839
Sons can be trained to administer our domain, and as beings of our seed will hold a fraction of our power. As they take time to mature, we should get started before we need one. But, not necessarily now. We should wait until we have sufficient infrastructure that children could be raised without distracting us.

>>24774847
I favor corruption but
>useless hollow shell
Still a good warrior.

>>24774732
>Why cut off her hands and feet?

Honestly, I just want to turn her into a minion and be done with it.

Unfortunately, /tg/ seems to have found a new waifu. If everyone is insisting on keeping her alive to play mind-games and corrupt her, I just want to take some precautions.

We can put her back together later if we want to.

>>24774953
Children would also try to kill us. That seems too much effort to deal with right now.

>>24774953
>Sons can be trained to administer our domain,
So can corrupted former paladins. Just imagine, those who were once the paragons of justice across the land, now meting out your own version of the law and enforcing your literally iron fist.

hows the town doing ?
(i think we can deal with her later, she needs time to acitvly support us. (having someone able to think and help us would be nice, we need more than just stabby, get stabed minions at least for end game ))

>>24774956
While I have nothing against using her physically or considering her part of an official harem, I don't think anybody is trying to do waifu anything. Choosing to have a powerful servant over a weaker (albeit immediate) one is hardly waifufaggotry.

>>24774982
Only if treated poorly and/or given enough power to think they'd have a chance at succeeding.

>>24774956
>crying waifu simply because the paladin has tits
For fucks sake, you're making a bigger deal out of it than they are. Like I said earlier, I would have suggested the same damn thing if she was a dude. This bitch is a power player and power players make better tactical units than pawns. You dont treat your queen or your bishop like a pawn in chess.

>>24774956
If it makes you happy then fine.
Her hands and feet are now separated from her body. They will be sealed away and returned to her good as new at another point in time.
It is interesting to note that her silence did not hold while they were being severed. It doesn't matter. You do make sure to tell her that she's only lost her appendage privileges for a while. You assure her they will be returned at a later point, if she behaves.
She's too busy being in shock to reply.

>>24775067
From within your tower you can see people moving around, many of them seem confused. Alarm has not been raised but people are very much on edge.

Is there anything else to do until night falls or shall you simply wait?

>>24774953
To hell with having sons. Minions can administer our domain and we are immortal.

Also while we are an evil overlord, fuck not to being a rapist, please!

>>24774956
Yea, waifuing up the wazzu.
But it would be better to damage the tendons then to chop off appendages. We do have confirmation that he can put her back together but it will be "messy work"

>>24775081
Some people are explicitly suggesting harem and impregnation.

>>24775098
Masturbate?

If you guys really want to corrupt why not make her choose between killing villagers and another paladin?

>>24775098
I assume our methods of appendage preservation and infection prevention are adequate to prevent irreversible damage? If not we should rectify that. Otherwise, then yeah I think we just wait until night.

>>24775098

Just stare at the village, ocassionally whispering "soon".

>>24775144
We have confirmation that we can take bits of her soul, taint them magically, and then return them until she is fully corrupt. We have started the process. Lets just move on.

>>24775098
How close is it to night? How many minions and skrimps do you currently have?

>>24775136
>fuck not to being a rapist, please
Based on the discussion at this moment in the quest general, I would imagine part of the point to this thread is making a quest where we're ACTUALLY evil. Not some weird white knight evil overlord who fights for freedom and just calls himself evil ironically.

Of course. It is similar to the magic that keeps you alive.

As it stands you have 4 Undead minions and 14 Skimps at your disposal.
You also have two normal human prisoners besides the paladin. You can soul drain them and add them to your undead numbers as they have yet to provide any sort of useful information despite the Skimps stabbings.

>>24775136
Minions are explicitly mindless and can't give advice.

>>24775198

>>24775098
Did you really amputate her hands and feet because ONE whiny bastard demanded it despite everyone calling it dumb?

Best Evil Overlord line ever. Ever.

>Is there anything else to do until night falls or shall you simply wait?
Observe them. Make note of any town guard or sell swords about. They are the types most likely to get in our way tonight, mark their locations so we can take them out first.

Assuming nothing of note comes up, wait until the town is asleep and move out. You know who to kill first.

>>24775198
>Not being a rapist while torturing people to death is being a white knight
Go back to playing fatal.

>>24775275
I misused the terms. I meant Minions as in a general term for servants not the specific term for magically animated undead whose souls we stole. so... servants, underlings, etc.

>>24775271
The other peasants are just useless, right? No reason not to soul drain as far as I know.

>>24775198
>>24775280
There is a difference in being evil and being edgy. Sure, all rapists are evil, but you don't have to be a rapist to be evil. “Lulz I raep the paladyke” just takes the thread to shitty places that I have no desire of going to. Go join that Deadhands quest if you want that kind of evil.

Best plan ever. Walk into everyone's houses one at a time soul drain them into slaves then head to the next house.

>>24775326
We may want to use the blackmail idea against the blacksmith, with Elizibeth. We can always soul drain them later, but I would rather have the most skilled blacksmith we can

>>24775271
Soul drain them. Wander the tower to assess the damage if you have time. Otherwise, its time to go bump in the night.

>>24775323
Cool. For the record, I can't think of any reason why our own children would be inherently less trustworthy than some random minion though.

>>24775373
Adding onto that, we could soul drain the Elizibeth and just keep her looking normal. Then when the blacksmith finished forging everything we want him to we show him the ruse and soul drain him too.

>>24775390
Will and ambition separate from out own.

>>24775408
>implying that he would ever be finished forging us weapons.

>>24775271
>You also have two normal human prisoners besides the paladin

One of them was the smith right? I originally suggested taking them alive because we'll need the skilled labour, but, if the zombie-minions keep their skills, just soul-suck them.

Remember to keep the skilled-labour minions at home when we go out. We'll need them later.

>>24775446
Once we find a better blacksmith, of course he will.

>>24775390
I am assuming they inherit some of our magical powers.
However, if they are totally normal boys and girls then yes, they are no different then anyone else.
Except we have to deal with diapers and waiting for years to get them... Also instead of choosing the 1 in a 1000 most suitable for a task we go by nepotism and assign someone unsuitable.

>>24775475
By the time we find a better blacksmith we will need more blacksmiths anyway.

>>24775373
Yeah, this. Don't soul drain Elizabeth or the Blacksmith, we should corrupt them as the paladin, the blacksmith so that we have a blacksmith, and Elizabeth to keep the blacksmith happy until he's corrupted.

You can always attach her hands and feet back if it's that bothersome. It's not like she was using them for anything anyway.

You drain the souls of the two men you have captured. They were only a Priest and a Scribe anyway.

You realize that you actually haven't checked to see what you have lying around.

As you travel the tower you notice most of it has been looted.
Perhaps...

You go down a staircase, into a hallway that leads to a dead end, and touch a certain stone. A slab of stone moves aside and you find yourself in your a small Treasure Room.

While not as grand as the main one it does have some useful items. Suits of armor line the walls. Maps, books, and scrolls are scattered across the shelves.
The armor may not be useful to you but you can equip it to some of your Undead to make them a bit tougher in battle.

>>24775408
"You can see her now"\
'blacksmith moves to her, a tear in his eye'
"Its so good to see you're alright, everything is going to be better"
He hugs her, her arms wrap around him, he trys to pull away, she won't let him.
"Don't worry young blacksmith, you can be with her forever."
*stab into his back and drain his soul slowly, just to increase the amount of pain he endures*

>>24775535
Yeah, minions should be armored since we can. Maps... We should review them, but no real need to bother until we've finished off the village.

>>24775535
>You can always attach her hands and feet back if it's that bothersome.

Nah, just leave them for now. We'll give them back later if she makes any progress. Like a reward system; every time she murders someone in cold blood, see gets a limb back.

>books, and scrolls
What kind? Magic? Or just our old stash of porn?

>>24775684
kinda hard for her to murder someone if she has no limbs.

>>24775684
Or, we finish using MAGIC to corrupt her soul and then reattach all of them. It is the least amount of work and gives us the most amount of returns.

>>24775728
Bite their kneecaps off!

>>24775535
Inspect maps and scrolls and outfit some minions. The map might be useless in regards to small villages, but ancient cities ought to be in the same places and geography should still be in mostly the right place.
>>24775684
>every time she murders someone in cold blood, see gets a limb back.
That seems sort of counter intuitive, given you need limbs to murder things. She doesnt need her hands right now anyways, though.

>>24775728
she can smack them to death with her stomps duh.

>>24775535
Take inventory, work on magically corrupting paladin's soul fragment we have. Then wait until darkness and go harvest more of the village. Have your skrimps collect victims for you for rapid soul stealing and minionizing.

>>24775684
Maybe we can just bring in someone she cares about, and ask what to do with them. If we get her to say to kill them, we will give her a limb.

>>24775805
We don't know who she cares about. Maybe just bring back random villagers.

Right now the tiny fragment you have is fully corrupted. It doesn't take long once it is joined with your own dark energy.

And no, you don't plan on the paladin fighting anyone yet. Perhaps when more of her soul is ruined but as it stands she is fine where she is.
You take some of the armor and outfit your Undead and give small shields to the Skimps.
You work away the daylight hours making note of all the tomes you still have and the various maps. Soon it is night.
As you head out someone is brought into your tower. A Skimp is holding a woman who you can assume is Elizibeth. She appears to be in a daze, as though a very heavy object had recently been used to hit her over the head.

>"What... Where am I..?"

>>24775874
Then let's put that part in and take another out.

>>24775728
>>24775756
>Can't kill without limbs.

Put someone in a guillotine and let her pull the lever. Easy.

>>24775535

We would need to capture/hire a blacksmith to produce more armour, yes?
Or could we perhaps imbue a minion with intelligence and knowledge of weapon & armourforging

>>24775874
Throw her into a cell for now, we'll deal with her later.

We got us a town to kill.

"the dark tower of the overlord. i wonder what the blacksmith would do to get you back, make weapons and armor for a horde of evil monsters perhaps?"

>>24775874
Interrogate her. Once you have extracted information from her we should prepare to subjugate the town.
Don't kill Elizibeth immediatly though. She may provide additional geographical information or be used as a bargaining chip is she's related to any noble families.

>>24775874
Let's talk to her first. Ask her how she's been, how life is going, what about that blacksmith boy eh?
See how she reacts.

>>24775874
Strip her, gag her and tie her hands to the rafters so her feet dangle in the air.
Pointless cruelty and humiliation for shits and giggles, ho!

>>24775874
"you're home my dear, we hope to bring you somecopany soon, a blacksmith perhaps?
Any ways, minions bring show the lady to her quarter"
*Delight at her face at seeing people she have care for stumble around lifeless*

>>24775912
Apparently, when we turn someone into a minion they keep much of their knowledge and basic skills.

So far it's unclear /how much/ they keep.
Depending on the answer to this, we can either just soul suck them and put them to work or enslave and corrupt them.

OP, can you shed some light on this?

>Elizabeth sneaking at night with the blacksmith
>We stole his soul and minionized him, which was then killed by paladin.
>we went to great lengthes to kidnap elizabeth
What are we doing here exactly? Why have we signaled her out?
Just minionize her. If I mixed it up and the blacksmith is alive, give him the same corruption treatment you are giving the paladin.

>>24776023
I thought we minionized the mayor, not the blacksmith.

>>24776045
IIRC we did both

>>24776023
We didn't get the blacksmith.

Did we? I don't think we did.

>>24775986
It's a bad plan in this case since we're essentially using her as bait to get the blacksmith to cooperate, so we need to treat her fairly well.

>>24776023
We never minioned the blacksmith. And we kidnap all of our victims before we minionize them since the skimps cant do it, only we can. She was just one we showed some previous interest in as a way to get to the blacksmith. Now we should nab the smith and tell him to start working for us unless he wants Lizzie here to look a lot more dreary and soulless.

Of course.

You lead Elizibeth to the dungeon where the paladin is resting.
Along the way you ask her about the blacksmith.

>"Damien? He is a nice boy... Did I trip?
What is this place?"

"It doesn't matter. You will be staying here for a while Elizibeth. And I will be sure to bring Damien here as well. Would you like that?"

She nods, still quite confused about what's going on.

You lead her to the dungeon and put her in a separate cell from the paladin. While you're at it you knock her out too. No point in her being awake.

You then go check on the paladin. When the door to her cell opens the paladin tries to move away from you as best as she can, fear now fills her eyes. Her movement is slowed due to not only the lack of feet and hands but a fractured soul. You move up to her and touch her face again, returning the bit of her soul that was corrupted while taking another piece away. Her breath stops for a moment and she falls over.

Done

Now, shall we take over the village? It is night and your powers are stronger than they were the last night.

I was wrong, it was:
Taken alive: a priest, a scribe, 2 bitches
Minionized: 4 random townsfolk

>>24776012
Perhaps we can corrupt the blacksmith's soul like we are doing to the paladin.
Hell, it should be easier even if he's a good man, since he's not a trained warrior of light.

Plus, he might develop some cool stuff with that freshly granted wicked brain of his.

>>24776133
Go to town, shopping list: One blacksmith and as many fresh minions as can be found.

>>24776085
Ah, but we can leverage how well she is treated with how well he behaves. Start out with her being treated like shit, and have her living conditions improve as he does what we say.

>>24776140
oh yeah we still have 2 bitches. Once we've taken the town we should spend a bit of time training them to be evil seductresses or something.

Could we pull off some crazy shit and bind a succubus to their body? Flying demonic seductresses would be a great tool to corrupt the souls of men in distant settlements
