Fuck you and the sun you live under


Look, just do what i fuckin do and buy some soulstones and imprison the ghosts to power your fell portals or monster crucibles. you can get a couple of rad monsters to attack villages out of a binded soul.

Anyway, My Ice castle in the barrens is coming along nicely. I started with the standard tower and have been working on the ramparts. Having a problem with getting water to make the walls. My goblins are freezing to death while carrying the buckets and im wondering if their are more cold resistant ones.

Just drop a couple goblins into the slurry as you freeze the bricks from time to time, it's helps reinforce things (like rebar) plus you don't have to pay them until they thaw

3) I heard of this Dwarven lich who used some goblin booster rockets to launch his 'lac into low orbit. Dude is like 6,000 years old now, I've met eleven mage knights who keep mistaking him for an elder god because know one can figure out how to fuckin' end the dude, his phylactery is flying through the material plane at speeds a friggin' air elemental couldn't touch.

This is a great idea, but for the love of Vecna make sure it stays in orbit, you don't want to face the True Death out of nowhere when your 'lac burns up on reentry.

Hey everybody, Evil Wizarding student here. I decided to go with necromancy after all! But now I'm coming into a fork in the road. My advisor is pushing me to specialize in ghosts, says it's an up and coming field. "Transparent Glowing Green is the new Black" were his exact words. I'd always seen myself going more for the skeleton/zombie route but I hear there's some guys doing rad poo poo with ghosts out in Necronomicon Valley. I saw an article that HexTech has been putting poltergeists to good work in raising dark towers for their new 666G network. I've always been inspired by their motto ("Be Evil") and it looks like ghostbinding has come a long way in just the last 5 years. If anything ghosts are lower upkeep than skeletons and they're smarter than zombies, and as a free bonus you get all the ectoplasm you could ever need so... I guess I'm asking if anyone's had a bad experience with ghosts? Any reason I shouldn't go for it?

Keep The Laws, and you should be fine. It's a growth industry! :iia:

I generally just call the Orking Man. He specializes in summoning orks who beat the demons senseless and then just hang around the place until they murder one another. And on the off-chance they survive, you got the beginning of a nice army.

Speaking of armies, what am I supposed to do about this loving ranger turning my men against me? He keeps getting killed, but he keeps coming back somehow. I'm so annoyed by this that I might just suspend all promotions until that fucker is ended. Can rangers even have phylacteries? I thought that was an evil wizard only deal.

So I got this cool internship with a real high-level dark wizard! It's going great, we've got this secluded tower out in the mountains with a great view of the forest of impaled trespassers. He's been having me help beef up security and I've been learning SO MANY creative uses for bound souls of the damned. Only problem is, seeing as we're up in the mountains my boss has been hiring out among the local troll tribes for odd jobs and stuff the dumber skeletons can't handle. We've got both rock trolls AND stone trolls here and maybe it's racist to say this, but I have no idea how to tell them apart. They get really salty when I call them the wrong thing, too. I don't want to look like an idiot in front of my boss or worse, cause an incident (he's currently wearing the last guy who did) so can anyone who's up on their troll lore give me some pointers?

Rock trolls have jagged protrusions from their backs and are a brownish grey colour, stone trolls have spiky protrusions from their backs and are greyish brown in colour. The very real threat of one of them sitting on you will help you remember the difference.

I've heard of this kind of thing before. You may be dealing with a Crow Revenant with possible Creeping Enthrallment. You know, one of those crow spirit things powered by true love or whatever. It's always a good idea to kill household heads first, and not make them watch what you do (skeletonizing and adding to the workforce is a popular choice) to the domestic partners and/or kids, just in case. For the love of Vecna, don't taunt them. Crow Revenants are almost impossible to get rid of once they get their "vengeance" dander up.

The problem is, orcs are super prone to enthrallment (I mean, they have to to, to be a cheap and easy to control workforce) and it's possible that you're dealing with some kind infestation. Crow Revenant infestations are like bedbugs except you don't want them where you live, it makes managing your living workforce a pain in the rear end.

The only real way to be sure you've gotten rid of the whole thing is to completely vacate your territory, which is obviously not on the table for most evil wizards starting out. If you've got a vacation or other secondary hold or keep somewhere, obviously, you can chill there for a few hundo till the infestation burns itself out and the Crow Revenant thinks it's beat you and releases it's host into the afterlife. You may as well write off the souls of that guy and his family, you're never gonna be rid of the Crow Revenant if you use them to power anything.

i got run out of my last necromancer's tower and have never dealt with prepared ingredients before, some sword wielding jackass came in and cut up all my minions before quaffing about twenty different potions and trying to hit me in the face. trying to get established in a new location but it's pretty difficult if the locals are going to shortchange me.

So, I need some advice.

I've always been what you might call... evil-curious. I experimented a bit in college, dabbled with some demon summoning and the like, but ultimately got my degree and pursued a career in healing magic (my dad always wanted me to be a healer and he paid my bills).

I've been feeling for a while like I couldn't keep living this life. I stay up at night thinking about raising a few skeletons, or bending a tribe of Goblins to my will and my 'real' life seems so pointless and hollow.

I think I'm ready to take the next step. I've been the healer for this group of heroes for a while now and we just got out of a really bad fight with a dragon. Most of them are pretty hosed up from it and we're dragging back to town. I'm thinking about sacrificing them all to a demon for power and knowledge so I can leave this life behind and start on my true evil wizarding passion, but everything I've read is really contradictory on who will actually help. Asmodel seems like a good choice, but I'm not sure of the sexual history of the rest of the party and he only seems to take human sacrifices if they're virgins?

Ugh. I don't want to look like an idiot if none of them are and waste some perfectly good human sacrifices.

C'mon man. He's trying to change for the better.

But seriously, if you are just starting out you are better off using their sacrifice to bond a lesser fiend than in trade with a powerful one. The more powerful ones are always looking for ways to scam you until you have established a rep for either being incredibly dangerous or being incredibly useful.
