Yo, is this dark lord legit? My last dark lord tanked all his stock when some halfling threw his magic bullshit in a lavapit and suddenly the heroes kicked all our asses in the big fight.

I hear he has a foolproof plan: he is completely invulnerable to attack accept for a glowing red gem on his stomach.

When the heros attack, he will walk in a repeating pattern. Right before he does his super attack, when his arms arm fully extended upwards, the gem is visible just for a second. It’ll really freak them out!

then, if somehow they do somehow manage to damage him enough, he’ll do the exact same pattern of attacks only faster.

we’ll all make sure to throw ourselves at the heros one by one for all 100 levels of the castle starting with the weakest first

You know, I'm a slime. Why am I even here? What kinda darklord sees a sentient booger and goes "yes! Just what my army needs!" And why did they give me this helmet? They think I have a head to protect? It just sinks into me and sits there and I reckon it'll just pop out if someone kills me, which seems very likely.

one of my recent contracts stipulated that every forth skeleton had to have a silver piece or two coppers on their person.

skeletons don’t wear pants! and he didn’t pay for armored skeletons.

I had to rig a way for the coins to stick to their body in a way that if defeated the coins would fall to the ground and then glow slightly with a number indicating value appearing in the air.

Last night was a good night, we killed a foul wizard, a foul cleric and a foul necromancer. Our druids even sacrificed the cleric! Join Bolburk everyone! We kill all the foul magic users, and replace them with nice druids. And by nice I mean murderous.

Tomorrow we're gonna raid a bard's college! Who doesn't want to kill a whole school full of Bards?

Hey, we may be a dark horde killing and plundering across the lands of the kingdoms of light and order but we respect the strength of diversity and have a zero tolerance policy for racism. Please see Argas-Sukullath the Agonizer of Toresrus in HR to set up a diversity and inclusivity seminar.

I honestly I have no idea who cannibal[SIC] is and I do not know why I should know.

syq dude, just syq!
A command economy with perfect obedience and hard workers, and no one thought to grow crops? We can only pillage idyllic country villages and eat each other when we're hungry?

That's not sustainable. Do you know how many armies we could muster if we weren't all committing cannibalism? I personally ate 3 archers over the course of the war

I've served four separate Dark Lords/Ladies. And aside from my current Lord none of them had any sense of sustainability. Even he only really looks at sustainability through the lens of preserving a primeval version of nature where all peoples are red of tooth and claw. Not exactly luxury, but if you like lichen, boy howdy do we a deal for you.

I changed jobs from working for a boss with a jewelry fetish in a hazardous volcanic fortress looking for half-sized men to chasing teenage witches and wizards from their high school because the guy in charge has a vendetta against some kid he tried to murder like 5 or 6 times.

I'm not sure this line of work is sustainable in this economy, with the cost of healing potions and magic herbs on the rise. At least work gave me this sweet robe and lets me use my own wand. Now if I could just figure out how to write off the milage on this broomstick, I might even get a tax refund this year!

You gotta get the special saddles that tie onto each rib individually. The really good ones have a kind of tube that goes over the rib for extra support.

We've been over this, Herumor is a half-orc, and his nation has always used the term orc to identify themselves. The fact that you are policing his language is due to a history of cultural imperialism where your people have systematically attempted to suppress the accomplishments and existence of his people as not 'real Uruk culture.' The elves had nothing to do with it until you expelled all his people into the elven lands. Well we will not be participating in your cultural genocide, thank you very much.

Guys, I think I messed up. You remember that side-gate portcullis to the dark lord's lair? Well, turns out I left it open and some adventuring party snuck into the fortress and made a mess of things, so I've been demoted to meat-wagon crucifix hanger. I mean, I guess it's not all bad, I don't have to actually do work, but my arms are literally killing me.
