Sounds like someone who hasn't been audited by OHS or the IRS yet. When those guys wearing robes glowing with anti-light and embroidered with the dying cries of orphaned children (I mean seriously, talk about hamming it up!) come sniffing around, asking questions and wanting to look at your skull lighting systems, your gold and reagent caches, and your library, you REALLY need to let them do their thing. I was sarcastic to one Agent one time, and now all I get to do is play with mushrooms, molds, and spores.

My fried morels are loving fantastic though. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

I hate skeletons. Ive noticed they have something like memory in their bones. I used to harvest the flesh for reagents, boil and reanimate the bones of fallen intruders. Now i just make bone dust. Like, last week was the last straw. I went to check on my gold hoard and my skeleton servitors were just standing, staring at the gold and touching their pelvises. These loving skeletons were remembering having sex on wizard gold when they were alive. Their bone memories are creepy. I could understand recognizing a sword or a trinket from a loved one but id say 75% of all adventurer skeletons just get horny at the sight of a gold hoard.

gently caress skeletons and their bone memory.

When you get too many skeletons you get to have skeleton gladiatorial matches, which results in a huge glut of bone chips and a new pecking order for your skeletal bone powder production line.

Having a lot of skeletons just means you can fuse them together to make larger skeletons. Dead thing made of other dead things is a long and hallowed (unhallowed?) tradition of evil wizardry.

do you guys ever get nostalgic for pitchforks? i used to have a great spell to turn them into snakes but i don't think peasants even know what to do with a pitchfork anymore. they'd kill each other with them by accident before they even got to the gates. some idiot peasants from the village have been writing letters or something, blaming me for an outbreak of hooved children. now im going to have to enthrall the mayor, maybe the governor. but first im going to turn all those goddamned letters and petitions into wasps

I know we're evil but personally i do what i can to keep the local townsfolk happy or at least placated. Yeah some one goes missing a few times a year. Errant adventurers sometimes wander into the local tavern and have a few too many and end up in my keep, and they are used nefariously but mostly i keep my experiments focused on other towns. Sure it means i travel a lot but i find that hostile locals from being flamboyantly evil are a bigger pain than just keeping a reasonably low profile and doing my dastardly deeds elsewhere. This also lets me feel out for weaker wizards to pounce on. I have a few wizards ive made onto thralls. I usually sell their property, confiscate reactive materials and reagents, abd put them up in a thrall dungeon where they toil and make reagents. Its a good system

I used to do the whole 'town' thing, but it gets so draining. The hustle and bustle, the gentrifying lesser nobles coming in, turning my favorite abandoned mill into an artisan grainery. Sure, you have access to live stock, reagents, night life..etc.. but I tell you, investing in a translocating castle that only appears in the mists every 13 years under the ghastly light of a blood moon is the way to go. One night of pure malevolent revelry, and you save a fortune on property taxes. Just make sure to hex your soil ahead of time, to keep out squatters.

The whole thing took care of itself as it turns out. My ex-apprentice was using the dread dust to summon a corrupting horror beast to send after me. But unfortunately for him he sent it here right as the paladin was attacking me. The paladin assumed that I summoned it and killed it, but not before getting infected by my ex-apprentices dark corruption spell which he'd cast on the beasts claws. Here's where it gets great, my ex-apprentice didn't change the spell from what I had taught him, so I was able to immediately inflame the corruption, before the paladin could cleanse it, turning him into my Blackguard slave. My idiot ex-apprentice stepped through his portal and instead of seeing me dead (as if a simple horror beast could kill me), got an unholy sword to the face.

So my ex-apprentice is dead, I have a new Blackguard, and I kicked the horror beast back through the portal into your dread dust patch. Once that thing composts you'll get like 10x the yields from it guaranteed.

You forget to pay the shadow tax on ONE eldritch horror, and they're on your butt. Here's a good tip though... get a dragon (like the skeleton of one, or a lesser wyrm...definitely don't mess with the fully grown ones...so annoying, with their 'true tongue' and 'lies'), then claim all your wizard gold and jewels as 'nesting materials' on your occult tax return.

Haven't you ever read the 'Lesser Studies of The Liturgies of Ironic Causality'. Dude, Wizards definitely don't have boyfriends or girlfriends, and especially 'loved ones'. That's why we hang out in our towers ALONE. By learning wizard magic, you've caused a casual loop to have lost your love ones in the first place. Classic rookie move. My condolences, nerd. I'll send you a few bottles of my Elderberry Moonwine... but don't drink more than 3 cups, or every forest bogan in a half mile will start manifesting itself, and that's a mess you don't want to clean up in the morning.

I was doing evil yoga and accidentally ripped my last cursed darkflame yoga pants (only +8, because I ran out of aetherium). there goes my fire resistance, now even a level 5 barbarian could take a torch off the wall of my dungeon and burn my face off. time to go back to aberzombie and eldritch and order 5 more, plus I have to infuse them with the black lava dragon blood myself, ugggghhhh

incidentally, does anyone know where I can buy yoga mats pre-coated with the ground corpses of magical creatures? I personally coated mine with glowfairy wing dust which gave it a nice lavender scent and increased health regen, but when I ripped my pants I also shat myself with anger and contaminated the spell

My bad. I was making some notes, no one answered when I asked (into a portable hole connected to The Abyss) if anyone didn't want me to take it from your library. The Law requires attempting to get ritual permission but it doesn't exactly spell out how... anyway there may be some residual dark silverflame notation where I improved some things and took some notes, no big deal. They only show up in natural light, they don't show up under bone tallow candlelight or eldritch flames, you'll never even notice.
