>Rose: "A month ago there was a terrible attack on your castle my Lord. Some Heroes got through our main defenses and made their way to your lair. Most of us either died or surrendered and my Lord was struck. After looting and destroying the castle the people left leaving only a handful of your most loyal servants behind. As it stands the Flotation System is completely destroyed leaving us vulnerable to enemy attack. The Kitchen, Barracks, Court, Bathing Facilities, Food Storage, Armory.. Honestly almost everything was destroyed. All we could repair is the Tinkering Room so we could build more things and your throne room my Lord."

Rose shows you a sheet of paper.

>Rose: "I took it upon myself to list everyone who is left along with their Title and Loyalty. Besides Rose and myself most of your harem has left. Styx remained behind but she is the only one."

"Would it be at all possible to construct a new body?"

for now... something like a four legged spider would do, with this eye as the central body. would get us mobile again at least.

>>329743
Okay, let's tinker up a badass mechanical body, then. I'd like the strongest person here to get salvage from the floatation device.

>>329750
Good idea, but if we can implement flight it wouldn't leave use too vulnerable and increase our mobility.

Hrm, I seem to have experienced some personality change as well as memory loss. I can't think of why I would remove a hand from a loyal minion without replacing it with anything. I'll have to see about making you a new hand.

>>329743
We have to get the barracks repaired so we can start rebuilding our army. After that, the kitchen, then food storage, then the baths... Nobody will be attacking us until they know that the castle is still occupied, so we shouldn't actually repair the castle's floatation system until we have better defenses. Nothing attracts attention like a floating castle.

>>329757
an army marches on it's stomach. getting the ability to MAKE food should happen before having people to feed. so the kitchen should be first.

With it you can travel to the land of the Humans and try to regain our lost fortune. Any 'Hero' you kill there will drop weapons that a shopkeeper could sell and Gold.

Even after we kill them? Cash!

Is there some kind of restriction that we can only kill and enslave Heroes? That is, why not just go into random villages and start slaughtering people, taking their shit, and enslaving them as menial laborers and cannon fodder?

we would be up shit creek without a paddle without you.
let us go emily, since we lack arms, you will have to be our blade.

>>329789
most likely taht would attract the attention of BIG time heroes. need to start with like, abductions in the woods, one or two people going missing in a monster infested forest will simply be seen as a shame not a call for alarm.

Does the fact that you constructed us a new body mean that we can make golems when we have the resources?

"Right. Another question, you built me this miniature body, does this mean that soon we can build golems?"

I am pretty sure we can't enslave them if they are dead.

hmmm, must be careful. if this location is known as an exit for the teleporter then this one going missing could make them very suspicious that we are back. let us tail her for a while and see if she leads to a guard outpost or is simply wandering through.

hmm.. then do it, quickly, but be careful and jump away as soon as it's done, in case she is being used as bait to draw an enemy out for a more powerful person.

>>329832
Well, should be simple enough then. The two of you flank, one provides a distraction and the other one hits her in the back. Minimal risk, quick kill then move on to someone else.

we have no money to keep any slaves fed. loot.

>>329854
If we lose her equipment if we enslave her, then we might as well loot her. A combat minion we can't equip is a combat minion we can't use effectively anyway.

>>329854
Loot! Loot! Loot!

>>329861
Well we're likely to sell the armor and weapons anyway. Right now getting some cash is priority, so we can get the minimal facilities up and running. We'll need that kitchen finished before we enslave any heroes anyway. (Or we can buy food, but a kitchen will save us money in the long run)

Loot. Nothing special either way but we need funds *now*.

Waste not, want not, if we can enslave then lets do so. Besides she might look nice if she cleans up a bit.

loot.

LOOT.

loot. having people who know how to fight and don't like us around the fortress sounds like a bad idea right now.

For the moment we can be picky. Just because we looted this one, doesn't mean we should enslave the next. Take our time and pick the choicest heroes for our slaves.

If we enslave them, we can put them to work making money for us. However, for the time being, I think looting is the best bet.

Move to the far left side of the eyeball slime thing and focus on killing it - it'll take a while for the others to position themselves to hit you.

Us: Fly upwards so that the enemy can't reach us. I don't think we have any kind of offensive capability, so we might as well remove ourselves from danger. Note to self, get some kind of ranged attack.

Emily: Move right and slightly forward, so that they'll be getting in each others' way when they try to come at you instead of surrounding you as easily. Hopefully you'll be able to take out one before they manage to flank you.

>>330154

this, except the overlord uses eye lasers against the nearest slime.

we fly ABOVE them as a distraction.they will undulate below us trying to attack.

What is your speed and movement range compared to these things? And can you only hit one at a time with your slash?

You try to do something somewhat useful but fail completely.
You order Emily to move behind the slime leader and to slash, the attack connects and deals 17 damage.
The Slime to the right attempts to attack but Critically Misses and deals 20 damage to itself and is now immobilized.
The Slime Leader attack and critically hits her with acid for 20 damage.

>"That really hurt :D"

>>330197
Ouch. You seem rather happy for being injured that much. Move away from the immobilized slime, and take a whack at the leader. Let's hope it's enough to finish it.

>>330197
Emily: Fall back.
Overlord: Float over Slime Leader, turn upside down, and use thruster to RAM THAT SLIME LEADER!

>>330199
Let's NOT dive into a mass of acid.

get one space between Emily and the immobile slime. she should hack at the leader. you should float around it to annoy and distract it. maybe Styx can install some manner of weapon on this thing.

Overlord: Enslave dead Slime to help Emily
Emily: Attack Slime Leader

RUN RUN RUN AWAY!
6 step run

Overlord: Cast Heal (I know you can do it you bastard)

>>330203
Good idea, if we can do that and have it take out the minor slime, Emily can finish off the leader. If we can't Enslave mid-battle, we gotta run away!

Man this is rough.

>>330207
Amendment to plan:
Emily: Run out of range
Overlord: Enslave dead Slime

>>330197
Attack and dash out of range!

i suggest we withdraw. embarrassing but we can't afford to lose a minion at this point in time.

Agreed on the run away plan. Enslave if possible, but keeping Emily alive's most important overall. Besides, she already got XP from killing one slime. That'll have to do for a combat where she looks to have been outmatched from the outset.

Also, masochistic amputee with infinite and unwavering loyalty? We must've been kinky in the past.

>>330231

>in the past

not just.

>>330231
I still don't get why past us would make a minion with only one arm.

>>330233
Conservation of resources is my guess. Additional limbs besides one with which to use/use as a weapon are a waste if the minion's primary purpose is combat, and it is capable of levitation.

>>330236
A one armed humanoid is very inefficient! If you spend the resources to make a one armed body, an extra hand to give them a shield or second weapon seems like it would be a sizable boost for a small added amount of body mass.

>>330252
It was just a guess. We can never truly understand the mind of an evil overlord.

Even when we are an evil overlord.

I suspected amputee fetish from the outset when told she was made like that, and the happy expression at pain just makes her look more like a walking fetish.

But that doesn't matter. She's a good servant. She should be preserved.

"Emily, run as far as possible!"

As you see Emily retreat you ponder why the hell you would make such a terribly built servant.
You also make a note to get a laser eye.

The Slime Leader follows while the wounded Slime simply lies there.

>"My Lord.. I'm actually quite badly wounded.. By Resting I can give up my whole round to regain 1/3 HP but I take more damage. Also if I run out of these borders I can leave the entire battle. At less then 15% health I can do some serious damage in a Desperation Attack.."

Unleash the Desperation Attack on the Leader, and hope to all the heathen gods it does not miss.

Also, is it possible to enslave monsters? They have natural weapons, negating the equipment problem, and are easy to find. Plus, nobody will really care if they disappear, or notice differences in monster attacks by us or natural ones.

>>330294
Stay there and heal.

yeah, heal.

>>330294
The slime will most certainly attack us next turn. We have no time to heal. And our Emily's health isn't low enough to use her desperation attack.

Either go in and attack, or run. Healing is suicide.

My vote is for attacking. The leader slime already took some damage, I think we can finish it as we are.

it's too close to you. if you can get really far from it, so that it can't touch you, heal. otherwise, desperashun time.

Stand and heal. We'll have 22 hp before the leader attacks and it can't kill us in one blow unless it gets another lucky crit. That is far less likely than missing the desperation attack. After getting hit while resting we can run 6 tiles away, be completely out of range of counterattack, then rest again. At that point we can resume attacking.

>>330311
>>330307

>>330381
Yea, we should go back. We should rest and recoup. Not to mention make some progress repairing the castle.

I think it might be a good idea to stay out some more and find a hero to enslave. Then there will be a servant available to help with the rebuilding and further outings.

Have to think about expanding fast here.

"Emily, one question.. How exactly does enslaving work again?"

>"Ah, well basically my lord when we kill a hero they sort of linger there for a moment. If we don't bind them and enslave them they are usually reborn in their hometown or a nearby inn. If we Enslave them first then they are bound to us and can not go back until we free them or they die and are brought back in the human world before we can enslave them again."

"I see, good. I would not want a Zombie Harem."

>"I don't see any problem with zombies, they're nice once they bathe a bit."

"I will trust you on that.. Anyway we need to rest and check up on the castle. Let us return."

Emily nods and the two of you teleport back to the castle. Rose runs up to you with a note.

>Rose: "My Lord, I tried to salvage what I could, I have here a chart of how much the essentials will cost. We can work on something else but I think we should work on one of these before anything else."

>Emily: "Is that in crayon? Hey there's a smiling sun."

>Rose: "Shut it Em. Your orders my Lord?"

>>330401
yes, but well need to buy food for them until we get the kitchen up. For this reason I'm against recruiting at the moment.

return and spend cash, no sense of wasting perfectly good heroes to turn if we have nothing to turn them with!

>>330406
Well, it appears that we don't have enough money for anything. Why did we come back here when we have nothing positive to contribute? Let's go back to the human world and kill things until we have the couple hundred gold required to do something constructive.

...we just have 40G right now? We should sell the loot we got from that hero.

We'll plan to do everything here in order of least to most expensive. But unless we can sell the slime bits for cash then we can't even afford the bathroom yet. What are they good for, anyway?

>>330406
Lets go enslave a shopkeep, then deploy them in a human town to sell the stuff we gather to adventurers.
IZ KILLING TIME!

dang, we only got 40G. what can we make with that? being able to attack ourself, even in a limited fashion would be a big help. like stick a servo to the side of us and attach that sword we got to it.

also, rose, i find this drawing to be adorable. you may hang it where you wish.

>>330414
Remember. Enslaving does not mean that they are instantly loyal. We would still have to convert them. And that will take time.

Also, remember that killing townsfolk will draw a lot of unwanted attention. Attention that we do not want while we're still in our vulnerable state.

I have a question for any of the servants who can answer. What are our options for constructing a new body for my mind/body. While the current situation is... enough to get by, a more capable body would be safer, and more able to accomplish things, besides giving orders.

fully heal Em.
check fabricator for smile ingenuity.
back to the human world for more chop chop goodness.

"Hmm... We do not have nearly enough money."

>Rose: "I didn't expect you would my Lord. I am ready to fight with you."

--------------------------------------
Rose uses a Spear which can hit enemies up to 2 spaces away. She can also toss the spear at minus accuracy for x2 damage at a range of 4 squares.
Comrades in Arms: When within one space of Emily and the Overlord her attacks do an additional 5 damage.
Jump: Using her Spear Rose can launch herself into the air and slam down on an opponent within 3 squares any side of her for double damage. Crit jump is Instant Death to most enemies. Can only be used once per encounter.
------------------------------------------

>Rose: "Also Styx wanted me to inform you that she can fit you with a basic sword and dark energy shield for G30 or a dark energy blaster for G35. This will help you fight alongside us."

"I will speak to her in a moment. By the way, the drawing is nice. Hang it up somewhere so I may look at it later for reference."

>Rose: "W-what? Uhm... T-thank you my Lord.."

you know, given our current state i can't help but think our old model was not sustainable. we should try and rebuild but I think we might want to reconsider out stance on the whole evil overlord thing. we have a (eventually) mobile fortress that apparently do long range two way telportation, we could become a trade hub or something.

>>330421
we probably enslaved too many peasants or something. so the heroes ganged up. since respawning seems to be a thing they probably don't care too much about being killed.

>>330421
We might be evil, but going corporate is too vile even for us.

>>330420
Dark energy blaster sounds pretty solid. Let's get that and then head to the surface for some serious hunting.

>>330420
Dark energy blaster. We will rain death down from the skies.

>>330420
Blaster. No contest.

>>330421
We can do both; we just need people to not think we're all that bad. Lets enslave a Marketer!

wait wait, is it sword and shield OR blaster or sword/blaster + shield? without the shield our platform wont be able to handle any attacks. if the shield is with both then the blaster sounds like a good investment.

...Wait... Are all heroes female?

>>330428
With the blaster we can stay out of harms way entirely, so that gets my vote.

>>330434
archers

we could try being a gray overlord or something. mostly prey on monsters and do some trading with the civilized races. we did just get a painful lesson about what happens when you make the whole world your enemy.

"You aren't that much stronger than Emily, I thought you were level 25..?"

Get us a Dark Blaster for our Overlord Floater. We want to kill things too, damn it!

I vote for dark blaster.

And I too, am a bit confused at Rose's stats.

>Rose: "What!? Oh well I uhm... Well it's.... I may have raised my level on the sheet just a bit... I'm sorry my Lord.."

"It is okay. No need to lie to me Rose. Now, let us go to Styx, I want my blaster."

You and the others make their way to Styx's room and soon you are fitted with a Dark Energy Blaster.

>Styx: "It is an amazing bit of technology my Lord. The Blaster has a range of 6 squares and has a fail roll of only 1-5. However the blasts will always do 10 damage unless you get really lucky. I can upgrade it to a better form for only G200 later on though."

"This is good enough for now, thank you Styx."

>Emily: "Yay~ My Lord can fight with us now! So where to my Lord? Where we were before? How about a more challenging area? Or maybe into one of those human towns?"

A bit more challenging

>>330449
A more challenging area. We don't want to stir up the townsfolk yet, since we have no defenses to speak of.

a little more challenging would be fine. but teleporting into a town is just asking for trouble of all sorts. would be good to go to the last area though if there are anyone with a profession we would need nearby.

>>330449
If more challenging areas have more wealth, let's go for it. We need to improve our situation as rapidly as possible.

more challenging area

I do not want stronger challenges, I want easy money and more chances to get it. Small groups of victims no stronger than that hero. Town itself is too risky, we need a well used path near it to ambush from.

Speaking of which, how useful is the heroes equipment, how much can we sell it for, and what use is the loot from the slimes?

Let's go back where we were first and get us some EXP.

"Something more challenging."

Emily nods and leads you and Rose to the Teleporter. She turns it on showing a grid.

>Emily: "Okay my lord, we can teleport to any spot with a number on it. By doing that we can face tougher enemies or weaker ones. Each number gives us roughly how strong they are and how much gold we would get. By taking on a rank 7 we get G70. A rank 1 would only give us G10. For reference the group we took on before was rank 3. Also this does not count to any equipment we may get in battle. So my Lord, where shall we go?"

>>330459
7. We were just barely able to take on a rank 3 group with one person, so with three people we should be able to take on groups more than twice as tough...

...or so I hope. We can go with 4 if we want to play it cautious.

...20.

hmmm... let's hit that two in the lower right and then wallk through the fours and the threes and finally tackle the seven.

>>330459
Hmm... that doesn't discount the chance of more foes of such strength. Even level 1 or 2 could be a problem if we run into half a dozen or more of them at once.

I say Level 4, and whichever of the two is more likely to have humans to loot or enslave.

A 4 is fine. Either one.

My vote is 4, then 7.

lets play it safe and go to 4. we don't know much it scales. if we don't have any trouble on 4 we should move up. also we should avoid heroes for now. monsters are less likely to organize a mob and burn down whats left of our fortress.

once we land we need to teleport back to teleport in again. my method results ina constant stream of money.

4

>Emily: "Teleportation success! Remember my Lord, these spots are only for fighting. It's unlikely we'll find anything but monsters and heroes here. If you want to shop and such a Town is better. Oh hey, Flame Wizards."

Flame Wizards
Typical HP:???
Attacks: Fire, range of 5-7 squares. 15~ Burn Damage

>Emily: "If we had someone on our team who could Scan we'd know a bit more about our enemy... Well it's still the Placement Phase, where shall we land my Lord? We can go in any green spot"

if we go fort then bunch up near the top. if they go first then bunched up near the bottom.

Emily and Rose in the forwardmost row, us in the very center.

>>330476
The girls can go there, but we need only be just behind them.

Are they monsters or can we recruit them?
Because they're like little Black Mages.

>>330474
5-7 range? We can't attack these guys at all with our blaster. They'd shoot back and I have a feeling magic is 100% accurate.

Emily top-right, Rose right next to her, Overlord waaaaay in the back somewhere. Both Emily and Rose will rush 3 squares towards the enemy, and Rose will use Jump on the leftmost wizard.

>>330486
5-7 as in they have a MINIMUM. rush them and get real close and they can't do anything.

>>330487
Oh, that's true. Alright, amending our formation to have Overlord sitting in the topright most square, and Emily right behind him. When everyone rushes forward, Overlord can get right up in the face of the wizard on the right. That is actually the only tile he can go that will prevent the wizards from reaching a spot 5 tiles away from him next round. Emily will be lagging behind a tile but she's just around for cleanup here.

I'm expecting blast attacks here maybe. Put the girls as close as possible with Overlord also in the front row, but 2 spaces away to the side.

The fire wizards outrange us, but we outnumber them so the idea will be to strike hard and fast with Rose's once per encounter jump attack. Everyone on one wizard to reduce their firepower.

deploy as close as possible. including the overlord, because minimum range.

>>330474
Deploy everybody just outside their range. For our first turn, everybody gets as close as possible and starts attacking if they can.

Wizard 2 moves to the top right corner of the map and casts Fire on Rose dealing 12 damage.
Wizard 1 moves back and seems to be charging some spell.

concentrate in Wizard 1

Overlord: Run and trap the Wizard in the corner
Emily: Run up next to Charging Wizard on his right
Rose: Run up in front of Charging Wizard and use basic attack

>>330618
Correction of wording: Rose does not run, simply moves the standard three spaces to attack.

>>330615
Emily: Run four squares right, two squares up.
Rose: Move one square right, one square up. Attack Wizard 2 with spear.
Overlord: Move two squares right, two squares up. Attack Wizard 1 with Blaster.

CONCENTRATE ALL FIRE ON WIZARD 1

>>330618
Note: This plan prevents both wizards from moving, and all units are out of their range. Thus, we get autowin unless they flee, or their charging spell hits at Range 1.

These wizards are hardly tactical geniuses to get in this position.

Overlord fly two right and three forward, shoot the mage on the left.
Emily run two right and three forward
Rose move forward two squares and right one, attack the mage there.

Now not only are they trapped, but also too close to target us and Rose gets her comrade in arms bonus as well.

yes overlord between the wizards. rose to right in front of the first one and stab and em moves up.

>>330623
That's a good point, never took Comrade in Arms into consideration. Changing vote to this plan.

oh and overlord moves up one in height so they can't hit us if they have shitty melee attacks. cause even a shitty hit will still hurt.

Everyone moves into position around Rose. She attempts to strike the wizard but trips and jabs herself with her spear.

>Wizard1: "HAHAHA! Oh god this is just sad!"
>Wizard 2: "We still can't hit them with our spells..."

Wizard 1 strikes at Rose with his staff dealing 2 damage.

>Wizard 1: "We can do that."

Rose attack Wizard 1
Emily move between Wizards and attack Wizard 1
Overlord move to Emily's spot and attack Wizard 1

If all works, Wizard 2 is trapped, Wizard 1 is down, and Overlord is out of range.

Also
Rose: Stop failing miserably

all out attack!murder wiz 1!

>>330639
They're trapped. Everybody keeps spamming their basic attacks until the wizards die.

Also, we should probably hover just outside of melee range.

"Will you two chuckle heads please SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

It's alright Rose, we aren't losing and they can't win! Make another attack with Rose against that mage, then move Emily to cut him too. Move forward and float up, target the first mage if he's still standing, otherwise blast the other.

they're not as much trapped as they're close to running away. therefore, kill both of them at the same time.

They can run away?

In case Wiz1 survives, we want to be out of his melee range (with our 1 hp).

If you can move through allies (and melee attacks don't go diagonally), we should do

Emily: Move directly DownLeft of Wiz1 and attack him
Overlord: Move to the space directly below (one DownLeft and one DownRight) Wiz1, and attack him
Rose: Stay put and attack Wiz1

Overlord stay put.

Rose, use Throw. Emily, attack. Overlord, attack.

>>330665
Nice! Rose fly on over the other wizard and stab down, Emily will go forward and slash, and we'll be floating a square over Emily shooting him.

1. Rose 1 down-left, use throw on Wiz2
2. Emily two forward, basic attack on Wiz2
3. Overlord, basic attack on Wiz2

rose move back to wizard ones place and stab wizard 2. Emily move in and attack wizard 2 we will move into a position to fire one the last one. this way we can all hit him at ounce.

For mages does transparent mean dead or does it mean very low health? If it is low health you should of course finish him, with Overlord attacking first to wast the least amount of damage.

Enslave the wizard we can enslave, loot the other.

yes, let's enslave this one. their partner can cover the costs and even has some start-up equipment.

also tilt over and rub on rose's head and tell her it's okay, everyone has an off day.

>>330692
Unless we can deploy an enslaved minion in combat immediately, I'm inclined to loot and move on.

enslave this one, loot the other

>>330692
Alright I think we can afford to enslave this one. At least it's female.

Poor Rose, she's good but just got unlucky. Give her a little pick me up. "Rose you are my best fighter right now so you are not allowed to be upset because of some bad luck. It happens to us all. And even if others were better you would still be as important to me. Got it?"

Yeah enslave away. We'll need the extra help.

We were unlucky, but perhaps staying on class 4 encounters would be good for the moment. Anyone willing to try 7?

Tell Rose that maybe she should try to follow Emily's example some more.

go for it.

we need moar gold though. perhaps another encounter, or a trip to a shop to pawn our crap?

>>330692
Can you graft one of the dead wizard's arms onto Emily?

WE ARE AN EVIL OVERLORD! WE DO NOT CODDLE OUR MINIONS!

Enslave. Then we go for rank 7.

we should reassure rose. tell her she just had some bad luck. I don't think we should enslave the wizard we don't really have a use for a slave right now.

That's some nice range. I wouldnt be opposed to enslaving, but I don't think we get to use it right away. It becomes a slave, and until we convert it, it will have no loyalty, and probably unusable in combat.

And don't yell at Rose, she tried her best. We must take our lessons from the Evil Overlord list. We must treat our minions with respect. She did not fail due to incompetence, or stupidity, so all we can do it give her a better luck next time, and don't sweat it.

Enslave

>>330714
Still, we could use a refresher course on converting enslaved minions, since we didn't take the free one given to us before.

Let's give her the hat.

no, let's send ruby back to the castle in what she has. otherwise she could try to escape. then do the other 4.

Give her the equipment we looted from her friend. Can't do much running into battle naked.

"Your belongings will be returned to you once you choose to serve me. Kneel before me and all shall be returned, and then some."

>>330769
That would just make her pissed for a while. I second 'robe but not staff'.

Say "Is turnabout not fair play, 'our new servant'?"

"It was your intent to enslave us. You are no different from we demons, in that regard, so do not act as if serving us will be any different from serving your own selfish desires."

Give her the robe, but not the staff.

yes, bring up the 'new servant' thing she said at the start of the battle.

then have her sent back to the castle. maybe some hard labor will change her tune. then let's attack the other 4.

>>330778
Well, shit. Now that we've said that, we can't give her anything else or she'll learn that she can make us give concessions by being stubborn.

She gets nothing.

On to the next location 4.

"Tell me, why were you in that forest? What did you desire? Gathering wealth? Obtaining power? I would simply have you do the same for me. It would be my wealth of course but I treat my servants well."

"No rush, I can wait. You look better like this anyway."

>>330778
Lets do another 4.
"You know our health plan includes dental, right?"

yea, 7 might be too risky. If the enemy were to focus on one of us, or an unlucky critical hit, we could lose someone.

... By the way, what happens to our servants/us if we die? I mean, humans and stuff respawn in town, so is there anything similar for us?

Will sending Ruby back to the castle alone result in her being able to mess up our stuff? I'm not sure how exactly we're supposed to handle a disloyal unit when we don't have guards back at the base. I'm not sure it's a good idea to enter battle with a disloyal unit either.

I agree we should not give back her stuff in response to her complaints. Say that until she kneels before us then she can simply serve us as eye candy. (get it, because we are an eye)

aye, do the other 4. too bad enslave doesn't ensure servitute.

"Rose, is it possible to just send her back to the castle?"

Class Archer
Range: 1-6 Sq +1 per lvl

>>330797
>don't need to roll
>jump kills most enemies instantly
>delicious candy

Use a jump attack on her, then we zap whatever is left. Lets try to make Ruby burn her, too.

rose at the top, em next to her and ruby behind rose and us next to em.
round one rose moves into position for a throw while me and em glide across the gap. next round rose throws, ruby BETTER use some magic, and then me and em engage.

>>330797
The gap is too big for jump. She'll just have to toss her spear and hope for the best. Then Emily and Us will finish it off. Ruby can help if her attitude improves.

Have Rose be in middle top row. She can get across from there. Emily can leviate across fine.

Rose should optimally wait until Emily gets within melee of the archer to attack. Then we all attack at once. Overlord should stay away, since we can't stay within min range and one hit on the floater will set us back a decent amount of GP.

>>330800
Sooo... we charge the archer with all of our [i]hitpoint[i/]? I'd rather not.

If we can hover-carry Rose over the gap, that would be best. (Jump only has a range of 3 [and the insta-kill-most-stuff is only crits, though sneak attack might mean autocrit]).

If we can't levitate, I guess we should have Rose sneak-fireball the archer. Give her the staff, and tell her that if she proves herself in battle, she can have her robe back, but if she warns the archer instead of attacking than she will just have to repay the inconvenience by acting as a human shield.

>>330797
Hah, sounds like a good job for Rose. She'll have to be put in the closest square to the archer, with us and Emily behind and to the side. We all move into position so that Rose can move adjacent to us and use her spear throw in a surprised attack for free double damage and the CiA bonus. Unless the Archer moves closer Ruby won't able to do anything so lets not worry about her, just keep her a bit to the side.

Actually, I agree with the people who say Rose should attack first. Less chance of something going wrong.

Oh, wait. I forgot Emily can levitate. Have Emily levitate up next to the archer before spear throwing so she can attack immediately afterwards.

Deploy Rose and Emily up front to fly at the archer, leave Overlord in the back with Ruby.

>death from above

yes.

Spear throwing is better than the jump attack here, since the former has a hit penalty and the latter benefits from critical hits. This is autohit so crits aren't going to happen.

Oh and a bit of security, to make sure Ruby doesn't mess us up.

"Ruby, all we need of you here is to stay back and stay quiet. Do that and you'll get your robe, deal?"

You equip Ruby with her staff.

"Prove yourself in battle and you shall get back your robe. Do anything that will hinder us and you shall act as a human shield."

She grabs the staff and glares at you.

Everyone is set for the battle.

Rose and Emily fly across the field.

The enemy is asleep.

rose: use jump!
Emily, Slash after the jump.

This, and Overlord should move a bit away and try to look harmless. That archer can take us out in one hit!

Rose deals double damage with her spear throw, just as strong as jump but less accurate. So have her start with that. Position Rose on the other side of her and Emily get next to her on the left side. That should prompt her to get closer to us and Ruby, not hide in the corner.

Rose and Emily get ready to attack

>Ruby: "Watch out!"

The archer opens her eyes and jumps back.

>Archer: "What the...? Demons huh? Get ready to be sent back to hell!"

Surprise round over.
Your round.

overlord: seize Ruby's undergarments as punishment.

everyone else: aggress.

>>330834

Agreed. Carrot and stick approach here.

>>330831
Rose: Move into melee and attack.
Emily: Move into melee and attack.
Overlord: Move so that the cliff obstructs her line of fire to us and scold Ruby for being a traitor. Does she want to be a naked slave forever? Maybe she does, some girls are like that.

"...You'll be lucky if you keep your underwear after this. All you achieved is not letting her die quickly. Slow and bloody death is more entertaining though, I'll admit.

Have Rose jump, and Emily advance and slash.

UGH. BAD MAGE! Stare balefully at Ruby. Just stare. Saying nothing. (let's have her spanked later)

Emily: move forward and attack.
Rose: move up to the side of the archer, and use Jump.

>>330834
YES.

>>330831
"Congratulations! You have managed to almost inconvenience me at the cost of causing her to suffer needlessly!
You still get points for trying, though Even if they ARE negative!
From now on you march into battle naked. Lets see how eager you are for their attention then."

As punishment, undergarments must be confiscated.

But only after the battle.

Rose & Emily: Attack
Overlord: Chastise Ruby

see this is why slave taking is a bad idea. slaves will screw you every chance they get.

"What the fuck are you doing!?"

Ruby smiles smugly at you. You de-equip her top.

"If you interfere any more much much worse shall happen.."

You move behind Ruby. Rose and Emily each attack dealing a total of 32 damage.

The Archer retreats and fires at Emily for 10 damage.

>>330860
>"What the fuck are you doing!?"
Why would we say this? It makes us sound like we're letting her action get to us. There were several smugly superior responses posted which would have been much more appropriate. Making sure that the slave knows that all their efforts to resist don't matter is a vitally important part of breaking them.

Can't be undone now, I guess, but for future reference we should never express shock and dismay at a slave's disobedience. Punish them, chide them like a disobedient child, berate them, but don't let them think they actually hurt us in any way.

Ah, well. Rose and Emily should continue to close and kill. We should hold fire and let them handle this; no sense letting the archer know there's another threat behind her and risking that she'd shoot us.
