>Recruit more minions

We need more, better capable minions if we want to take this city.
Farmers and traders with a guard or two is one thing, an entire city full of well trained guards and mages is another. Our minions will get slaughtered, and although we could probably take them, it probably would be more trouble than we'd want.

We need to build up a more capable force.

Also, big cities are bound to have a lot of poor people sick of the way things are. Once we roll in, we can rule up the lower class to revolt and possibly join our cause, promising a change in the system, and offering power, food, shelter, etc.
Just a thought, well need more foot soldiers if we really want to go big.

>>45420622
You decide that, rather than traditional violence, you will employ a tactic as old as time. You send a message to all local growers and suppliers, informing them to refuse shipping their goods out for the time being. They agree, though it will be a hard time to be sure they follow your word, even under threat of violence. You'll have to have Duncan rotating surveillance around the clock.

You also have Vanessa keep an eye on the main roads into the city, just to keep you informed of anyone trying to smuggle food in. In the meantime, you decide to build up your troops a bit more.

We can manage to control them eventually. If they're too unruly we can fire them.

Also, maybe recruit from the city?
Announce that those who don't wish to die from starvation or by the tip of your blades, are free to join your ranks.
The condition is they have to offer us a head of a family member or someone close to them, to prove that their loyalty now lies with us and not their city or family.

You break out your trusty Rolodex of Darkness, and flip through various cards you've attained over the years before stopping and picking out one for a temp agency known for it's quick and friendly customer relations.You establish a psychic connection to the fourth level of hell, and wait for an answer. Soon, you have it.

"Thank you for calling Mourningstar: Employment Opportunities. If you are calling to set up a meeting, think of the first aspect of the daemon prince Volgoth now. If you are calling to speak about potentially hiring a demon or devil to serve under you, think of the second-" You do. "Please hold while we connect you to an agent."

You sit back in your desk chair and tap your finger to the beat of the song. You catch yourself humming as well, but after only thirteen hours on hold, you are finally connected.

"Good evening sir, madam, or ethereal entity, my name is Chris and I'll be your medium to the nine hells tonight. I understand you're interested in one of our service packages." You agree, and tell him you'll only need them for about a week. "I see, and you'll be using them for what exactly?" Evil invasion of course. "Perrrfect, just need to fill in the paperwork here. Can I interest you in our platinum program this evening? For just a few souls more we'll include Sh'krz'nah the Demonic Empress of avarice." You don't need anything that fancy.

You ask for the Incubus package. Chris finishes up filling out the paperwork, and tells you your temp will arrive first thing in the morning. You thank him, and cut the connection. That done, you decide to turn in and catch up on sleep before beginning the next phase of your campaign.

True to Chris' word, a trio of tall, muscular, nearly hearless from the neck down men are standing idly in your breakfast nook when you come down for a bagel and coffee the next morning. As you enter, the three of them turn, and smile with teeth so perfect you'd think they were carved by jewelers. They each extend a hand in greeting, and you shake them in sequence.

"Thank you for the opportunity, sir. Should we get started right away, or would you like us to wait for now?"

The three demons give you a sexy thumbs up, and make their way out of the kitchen. As they walk, their nude bodies warp and become clothed in expensive silk and satin, until they resemble minstrels and merchants. You suspect they must be old hands at this game.

When they round the corner, you see one of the minions peeking through the door frame. You ask him what the matter is, and he enters awkwardly.

"Er, well you see, my dark lord, there's a bit of trouble in the training hall. Without Vanessa to keep an eye on her, and without Duncan to coach, Marigold has gotten a bit... carried away with training."

>>45421976

Ask for an explanation. If she cannot offer one that's satisfying, break her wrist to send a message. Her left wrist, she needs her right one to swing a sword or something, whatever.

>>45421976
>>Go to the training hall

>>45421976
>Go to the training hall
See what exactly is going on.
The minions should learn to toughen up and take a beating, but we can't let Marigold get TOO carried away, it'll be hard to take over a city if our minions are already too beat up to fight before the fight even begins

>>45421976
>Go to the training hall

>>45422009
You follow the minion down to the training hall and enter with all the nobility you can. You spot Marigold on the ground, being held by two of the other minions. She doesn't seem to be resisting, only staring at the stone floor depressingly. You ask what happened, and one of the minions still standing answers.

"Well, we were just doing some sword drills, and Greg nicked her cheek on accident. All of a sudden she went nuts and attacked him full force." You ask which one of them is Greg. "Well that's the thing. None of us are Greg anymore." You rub your temple and tell them to just tell you where Greg is. The minion points in five different directions. "There, there, over there, up there, and I think that's his genitals by your foot there." You step to the side.

Marigold seems genuinely guilty about what she's done, but this isn't something you can allow to happen every week.

>>45422221
You tell the others to leave the room, and they do so gladly. You hear one or two whispers as they go, but ignore it for now, and approach Marigold on the ground. She doesn't stand, so you decide to sit beside her. You reach out and pat her on the back, asking what went wrong.

"I'm sorry, boss. I just lost my temper." Losing your temper is one thing, it's another thing entirely to rip a man into chunks. "You don't understand! You don't know what it's like to live your whole life expected to be a demure little girl, and get married to some rancher's son because there's no other choice. It's only since I've been working for you that I can be myself. The truth is..." Marigold turns her tearful eyes up to you. "I just love killing! I love it so much sir! Is that so wrong!?" She rests her head on your arm and begins weeping softly. "I can't change who I am! I just want to murder things! Don't you understand!?"

Part of you does. The evil part, which is most of the parts. You awkward rub her bicep to try and comfort her, before realizing what you're doing and standing back up. Marigold falls over a bit, but catches herself before sitting up and wiping her nose.

"Are you gonna fire me, boss?"

>"No, just control yourself from now on."

>>45422505

Explain to her that there will be plenty of opportunities for killing and murder, and evisceration, and decapitatation and bludgeoning. But not in the training hall.

>>45422505
>"I can't change who I am! I just want to murder things! Don't you understand!?"
>Oh boy, here I go killing again.

>>45422528
>>45422567
You are straight with Marigold, and she seems to understand. You summon the others back in, and have them prepare the whipping post. It's not a fancy whipping post, what with gold trim and jewels encrusted into the base, but it's been with you for many years and you can't part with it.

You choose a piece that will leave light marks, but get the point across, and have the minions tie Marigold topless to the post. No sense ruining a shirt over a little killing.

You bring back the leather length of the whip and let Marigold know that this will be a lesson to not just her, but to the others as well. The other minions seem nervous about that. You bring your arm forth, then flick your wrist as the perfect moment to leave a mean scratch across Marigold's back, as well as produce a satisfying crack that echoes through the hall. Marigold shrieks, and the minions flinch. You repeat this five more times, until she is heaving and groaning. The marks are very well placed, if you do say so yourself. Seems you've still got that artistic flare from your youth. You wait for Marigold to recover a little, and suddenly she seems to speak, though her voice it ragged.

"Th-thank you sir...may I... have another...."

>>45423298
You bring back your arm and let loose another lashing. Marigold shrieks again, and the minions shrivel up, sucking air through their teeth in sympathy. You wait for Marigold to respond.

"Th-thank you sir...may I...have..."

You can't help but admire tenacity. But perhaps this has gone on long enough. You might do permanent damage if you continue.

>>45423514
You roll up the whip and tell the minions to untie her. They rush to do so, and wrapping her in a clean sheet before walking her to the infirmary as a group. Perhaps they'll bond over the whole ordeal.

As they walk, you start to feel slight concern. The marks will scar and make her all the stronger, but she is quite useful, and this will undoubtedly put her out of commission for the coming attack.

How goes recruitment efforts?

>>45423704
this right here

>>45423704
You decide to let her enjoy the reminder of her mistakes for one day, and administer something to ease the pain tomorrow, to help her recover in time.

Until then, you decide to send a minion incognito to the city you'll be attacking, to deliver a message of hope to the masses. Any who side with you during the attack will be given preferential treatment. Those who do not resist will not be killed. Any who join you willingly now may spare their families as well. It won't work quickly, but it will work.

A few more days come and go. The incubi report that things are going well. They have wormed their way into the hearts of the local women by posing as performers and rich aristocrats. One of them is even sticking it to the mayor's wife and daughter at the same time, though neither of them are aware of it. Things are looking quite good on the roads as well. Vanessa has burned every trader and smuggler she's been able to encounter, and though some goods are still making it into town, the people are clamoring for something to be done. Unfortunately, the emergency storage in the city is holding quite strong, so starvation doesn't seem to be any sort of immediate threat.

>>45423919
You give word to Duncan. Within a few hours of sending the message, you hear from Vanessa that there is a plume of smoke rising from the city. It seems the boy is useful after all. That is, until you realize he himself did not give the report. In fact, after a day, you still hear nothing back. He is dead, or worse, captured. In any case, the day of the attack draws close. You'll find him one way or the other, so it's more prudent to prepare for now.

Marigold heals well, and apologizes again for her misconduct before returning to normal training. Just as you suspected, she and the other minions have a stronger bond now than ever. It warms your black heart to see.

The day of the attack finally rolls around, and you and yours, joined by Vanessa after her return, make your way to the city. You crest a hill high enough to avoid arrow fire, and inspect your target. Things seem calm now, but you sense something in the air. They will fight back.

You send a message to the Incubi. They get to work sewing a few last minute seeds of discord. They also inform you of something you should be aware of outside the city gate. You procure a spyglass from one of the minions, and take a peek. Hanging above the gates, lashed to the woodwork by his arms and legs, is Duncan. He is battered, but doesn't seem to be dead, else carrion crows would already have set upon him in this weather.

You toss the spyglass aside and take a deep breath. Whoever managed this is no joke, and they meant it as a taunt directly to you. You feel it may be a trap, but leaving Duncan there broadcasts to the people in the city that you were outdone once, even if indirectly.

>>45424588
You lead the minions forward, marching together as they were taught. At a healthy pace, it takes you a half hour to arrive at the gates, and much to your surprise there is no immediate resistance. No hot oil, no archers, not even a slingstone. Curious.

What is present is a very powerful barrier preventing you and Vanessa from entering. Destroying it will drain Vanessa terribly, and will weaken you considerably, but you must do so so assist in the attack. As you consider the options, the minions free Duncan and set him aside.

>>45424806
You tell Vanessa to destroy the barrier keeping you out of the city. She does so loyally, summoning all her power to focus it on one point, cracking the invisible wall around the gate, and allowing you to pass through. To test it, you reach out and place a hand on the wooden gate, satisfied when it does not repel you. Vanessa collapses, completely drained, onto the ground. She breathes heavily and seems unable to do much more than shuffle when she manages to return to her feet, and you order her to return home until things are sorted out. She nods, and begins retreating as you turn to break down the gate.

With one powerful kick, the wooden beam holding it shut cracks, and another snap it in half, allowing the gate itself to swing ajar. You push it open, and allow the minions to head in first.

Before you are a few dozen citizens, all with their homes on their backs it seems. Among them are women, children, and a few men who seem utterly ashamed of themselves. You'd guess they are here to beg for mercy.

You command all to kneel before you. Nearly all do without hesitation, but the beautiful thing about fear is it makes even the brave susceptible to peer pressure, and soon all present are bowing. You have your minions pass out business cards as you look over your new subjects. They all seem to be in good health, save for a few, but only a handful look any better than the minions you currently possess. Still, you offer any who wish it a chance to make their way to your side. Those who do are given a weapon, but no armor, lest they grow overconfident.

You ask about Duncan and the barrier, and learn that a wanderer from the east is the one responsible for Duncan's condition, and that the barrier is nearly a century old now, placed by a cleric long dead. It's of no consequence now that you're inside, but it's still handy to know it's origin.

>>45425548
You and the minions, including the new hires, march together toward the center of town. As you go, you sense eyes on you. some folks are still in their homes and businesses, hiding and waiting to see who comes out on top. When you reach the market, it becomes clear why they'd bet against you at all.

One hundred men, armed and armored, stand with bucklers raised and spears poised to charge, spread out along the empty street. You look around and see at least twenty more on the rooftops, aiming crossbows down toward you. You doubt your forces can handle this much, even if you'd survive. One of the enemy steps forward, wearing a helmet decorated with peacock feathers.

"Lay down your weapons! This city is ours, and we'll die to defend it!"

Big talk for a man who didn't even have enough men to hold the wall.

You promise the resisting forces that they need only leave in peace, and peace will remain with them. You see some of them break then and there, but they are also afraid of betraying their comrades. If you're careful, the cowards will route as soon as battle commences.

"Begone demon! We have ways of expelling you!" cries the leader. He produces from his belt a paper talisman, meant to ward off evil. It is quite potent, but nowhere near enough to seal your strength. It would take a hundred of them at once to bring you down to the level of a common mortal, and something of this rarity would take a powerful sage a great deal of effort to create.

You spread your arms and await his attack. He seems disturbed, but doesn't waver.

"By the power of Thal, and the Holy Circle! By the Twelve Peers and the Maiden of the Sea!" He cries some incessant chant before hurling the talisman at you, it flies true, and sticks fast to your body, emitting a surge of power. It stings like the dickens, and you have to stifle a groan, but soon the talisman's power is spent, and it merely falls off, burning to ashes before it meets the ground. This time, the leader of the enemy guardsmen shudders. It's clear he expected this to work with such fervor, to see it crumble away has shattered his resolve.

You wipe away the few remaining cinders on your chest, and approach him slowly. He steps back, a few inches at a time, and finally falls onto his hind end when you come within arm's reach.

You hear a twang, and a bolt flies, plinking off of your armguard before clattering uselessly to the floor. You turn to see the shooter shaking, crying, and dropping his weapon as he faints, hitting the roof of the building he is positioned on with a thud.

The rest of the guards drop their weapons, and back away from you in a herd. The only one still in place is the cowering leader of their band, who merely gawks at you from the ground.

You step over him like so much rubbish, and continue your march to the heart of town, namely a small tower located at the center. As you walk, you hear the once bold troops behind you scatter and shuffle away to hide and wallow in their own cowardice. It's a good sound.

You round a corner together with the minions and spot the final defense of this troublesome city. A man with a clean shaven head, tattooed as a pirate and dressed in strange clothes stands on the steps of the tower. His presence is loud, and you can feel ethereal energies playing around him. He is utterly silent and stoic, leaving you with the impression he won't succumb to the usual intimidation tactics.

"I have no love for money. My only love is battle, and so I test my strength on the mighty and oppressive. I believe your man was the last to challenge me alone, and he was little more than a fly on the back of an ox." You watch as he moves into a strange stance. You've heard of eastern magic, augmenting the body to become like weapon and armor itself, but this is your first time seeing it. It might be wise to play cautiously.

He accepts. You have your minions remove your cape, so as not to have it limit your range of motion. When you are ready, the stranger crouches and smiles.

"I will display for you the third most powerful of all the Zodiac Fist techniques! The Fist of the Ram!" He steps forward, and then is gone. Your eyes are completely able to follow him, and by the time he is upon you it is too late. With a mighty crash, he puts his shoulder into your stomach. It sends you sliding back a good six feet before you are able to stop yourself, but you nearly knock over a few minions in the process. Fortunately, though physics was not on your side, magic was, and your armor did not allow any damage to befall you. When you look back down at the man, he is quite perplexed.

"Very well, I see my bluff was of no use. Then I shall reveal the true third strongest technique! Behold the Fist of the Hare!" He dashes again, and though you are barely able to track him now, it's still not enough to catch him as he pummels you with kicks and punches from all angles. Each blow aims for a vital joint, but not a single one lands correctly. At last he tires out, and does a few fancy backflips to regain distance before wiping his brow and panting for air.

You fall over, chortling maniacally, especially when you see the red of shame wash over his visage. Even your minions, Marigold included, join in on the guffaw. You rise back to your feet, take a few deep breaths, fan your face a bit, then compose yourself. You calmly walk toward him, give him a pat on the shoulder for his effort, and hand him one of you black cards, telling him to see you when he's ready to get serious about attaining power.

As you move around him, you hear a tearing noise. This angers you. you spin around to see the card fluttering away in the breeze, and his face deathly serious.

"You insult the teachings of my masters. For that, you will pay." He returns to his strange stance. "Behold now, the strongest technique of the Zodiac Fist. The Fist of the White Tiger!"

You stay rooted to the ground, and watch as he does some exotic dance. You can sense the energies around him gathering into his belly, then bubble and churn. When he is done, he comes at you full speed. The energy within him flows into his hand, and explodes as his palm impacts with your body. His skin clangs against your armor, but otherwise nothing seems to happen. That is, until you feel a shocking pain run throughout your body. You flinch, and cough up a bit of bile. The man steps back, and grins.

"How does it feel? The Tiger Fist is the final technique passed down in my school. To be hit by it is to feel death a thousand times over."

It does hurt, and impressively so. It's as though you were being seared by the flames of hell. Of course, you did that every weekend when you had bootycalls to Vanessa's mother. You compose yourself, and through the pain you find yourself able to form completely articulate words.

He is stunned by your ability to stand, let alone continue fighting. He doesn't even attempt to escape when you lash out and grab hold of him, pulling him into a powerful death hug. He can only struggle as you increase the force with which you squeeze his body, and finally you hear the sweet sound of cracking bone. You drop him there, leaving him a coughing heap of regret, and toss another card on top of him. This time he takes it in hand, reads it, and falls over exhausted. You smile and turn back toward the tower.

At the very top sit a group of old, dusty bureaucrats. They surrender immediately, and hand over control of the town to you.

You announce to the minions your victory, and they throw their bucklers high into the air, then duck and whimper when they come falling back down spikes first. They cheer you on uproariously, even the ones who only joined this afternoon.

Maybe once we're a well established group with legions of powerful men, we can just murderhobo like a few of you want so badly
For now, we're low on men, QUALITY men at that, so we take those we feel worthy.

We set up base here. Tell everyone in the surrounding villages, homesteads, farms and whatnot that we're in charge.

Levy anyone who isn't economically productive to our cause into your army.

>>45428169
Lets start picking over the spoils whether it be loot, beer or women and hand it out to our minions accordingly.

>>45428207
This
Reward our men (even though we did most of the work)
Let them feel like they've earned something and that joining us has benefits such as this to boost morale and loyalty

>murderhobo
That's murderLORD thank you very much. We have a castle after all. And a town, now.

>>45428169
>>"Let's go to the pub and celebrate!"

>>45428207
>FIRST WE CALL OUR DAUGHTER TO CHECK ON HER
Yes
>MAYBE Duncan then
No, fuck him. He got caught like a scrub.

>>45428169
Is there a prison anywhere near? I'm sure we can get some killers and thugs to join.

>>45428237
I agree on this one. But in case they get too overboard we get ready the whip. Nobody breaks our shit, even our own men.

>>45428263
He got caught by what is clearly an unusually powerful warrior on his first time out. Shouldn't give up on an investment so quickly.

>>45428263
In his defense, the Eastern guy was somewhat noteworthy, since he was able to actually make us feel pain and give us some slight difficulty in seeing his movement.
Yeah we survived, but someone like Duncan is a different story.

>>45428305
>since he was able to actually make us feel pain
Yeah, """"""""pain"""""""" equivalent to "nutted but she still suckin".

You tell the men to meet you at the nearest pub for the afterparty, and watch them scurry away before sending a message to Vanessa. She responds promptly, letting you know she is hold up in bed with a bowl of soup and some soothing candles, but she could really go for a nice juicy mortal soul to pep her up. You tell her to get plenty of rest and that you'll be home after the minions tire out. She wishes you goodnight, and blows you a kiss before you end the connection.

You follow the minions trail of debauchery to the nearest social club, and enter to find them helping themselves to booze and snacks. The wanderer is not among them, but he wasn't at the base of the tower either. You don't think you've seen the last of him yet.

We need to take care of our little girl.

Make a speech about how awesome you are and how great everything is going to be as.

>>45428423
>Stay with the minions
Who knows what'll happen if they're unsupervised.

>>45428483
and
>>45428480

Victory speech to boost morale, but at the end of the day, daughter comes first.

>>45428486
Has a point though. Have Marigold supervise the rest of the men, she should be capable enough to reign them in if they get too unruly.

Also, maybe send a man to get Duncan down from the thing, if we hadn't already

>>45428364
Which brings the question. What happend with Vanessa's mom? Is she still alive or did some two goody shoes hero defeated her?

>>45428533
My guess is that she's Chaotic Evil and we're Lawful Evil. It was never going to work out anyway. Luckily lawyers are Lawful Evil so we won custody.

>>45428575
How so we got a evil divorce? Dam being a single dad is hard.

>>45428612
Atleast our daughter loves us evily

>>45428505
You give the minions a pep talk to raise their spirits even higher, and enjoy a tall mug of whatever these city dwellers dare call beer before leaving Marigold in charge of the others, and heading home.

On the way out, you pass by many houses, murmuring with news about the day. You expect to have to return often to keep things in order for a while.

As you pass by a house, you see a small boy standing alone beside a tall pot. He holds in his hand an old fruit peel, and you surmise that he is eating garbage. He looks at you innocently, somehow uncertain of the gravity of your presence. The child is half starved, and jaded to the cold and dark of encroaching night. And Vanessa did say she was hungry.

>>45428683
>Take him
Come along little boy, We'll make sure your safe and protected.

>>45428683

But train him up to our standards.

Not to eat, but to raise
