I heard we're doing another march to the Forbidden Swamp tomorrow. Doesn't sound very forbidden, huh? And what's the deal with phoenixes? I mean, you kill 'em, they come back. Is it the same bird, a different bird, what's going on?

Anyway I'm at the Demon's rear end in a top hat Improv Club this weekend, come check it out, great show, it's free you just gotta tip your waiters. Hey, try the veal! Haha, just kidding, my comedy's a little more refined than that!

My entire unit's armor is all misshapen, weapons rusty as all gently caress from endless marching in the rain and days of maggoty bread. Just to fight some assholes that live in a horse themed town in the middle of literally no where.

Edit: Oh for fucks sake, they fled like a million miles to some mountain keep, I don't know if my rusty rear end gear is gonna make it there in one piece. I'm gonna have to be shanking some fools with a hilt at this point. Dark lord is too cheap for durable equipment.

Someone explain to me why my last dark lord transformed into a snake to fight that Northern Barbarian and his companions. That poo poo never helps you win fights against steel.

This reminded me - The first time I was enslaved, back when I'd just died, my dark lord got merced in the dumbest way imaginable. He had one of these adventurer types tied down to a table, and he just starts tellin' him everything! And get this - he told the guy where his phylactery was! Un loving believable.

Sounds like he's thinking about making you a Side Boss. There's some risk there since you're putting a big target on your back.

But... quad wielding is loving SIICCKKK and you should absolutely do it

As long as he doesn't make you take the name Forearm, Destroyer of Worlds it's a bonus. Gonna be pretty hard to explain the pun to the new world's you'll conquer.

Any elite monsters in the thread that can help me get out of this dead-end "barrel skeleton" career? The constant imprisonment inside a barrel for days, only to be struck down immediately by some barbarian spinning around like a top, is really starting to get to me.

My scoliosis has gotten worse, the resurrection fees are pulled directly from my pay, and now HR is telling us that due to budget cuts WE'RE now responsible for sourcing our individual barrels!

Morale is at an all-time low and I can't keep up with these changes. Help!

Can you shoot a bow? That's how I got my big break. I was guarding one of the boss's lackeys and this Adventurer type shows up out of nowhere. It's pretty close but he ended up finishing off the ol Butcher (rip, he treated us right)

So this guy starts looking over the body for valuables, and I'm just plinking away. I don't think he ever even realized I was there until I hit him with that last arrow, and he went down. Once you get an Adventurer kill you're basically set to fail as far upwards as you want. :cheers:

Just checking it out, I have to be at least a spellcaster of 18th level to become a lich?? gently caress that poo poo. My only natural talent is stabbing stuff. I guess my career choice is wight at best. No room for career promotion for the really talented in the Dark Lord world.

I know I'm just mid-level and all, but they pull us into those synergy meetings for a reason, right?
All I said was, 'what if, in the entry ways and places we want watched, we put more defenses', ok? Like, look, right now, we've got a bunch of tunnels into our lairs, and the adventurers or the Army of Light comes along, and all the caves and tunnels, and watch towers, we've got a line of 1 skeleton, then another one, then 2 skeletons, then another one further back, then maybe like, a couple hanging around a fire, just a line of these putz all the way in slowly building up until we get all clogged up with our more strategic corporate resources that are barely effective since they're all wedged in there together.

I just mean, if you've got two or three different dragons, and there's two ways into Fort Darkness, maybe put ONE of them on alert and have it right in front of the door and put some wizards down there right away and just blast those morons right off the bat. The skeletons aren't doing anything. Hell keep them down there maybe they can distract them or something I dunno. But you're just wasting resources. I thought in the end it'd be a cost-saving measure.

But no, 'corporate culture' and poo poo and they've got to do stuff 'by the book'. Yeah maybe The Elders' book. Maybe try checking out some of the scrolls they're teaching now a days. Just venting. Anyway are we still doing Enchantment Night and wings tomorrow?
