Murderface says, "It's easy. You agree to a deal, and take their money. Wait until they send out their, I don't know, settlers or whatever it is they use, and smash the jumped-up toys flat when they start setting up their settlement or factory or whatever you call it. When they get pissy about it, you tell them to suck an egg and ask them if they'd like another one. It's "Get 'em" 101."
ReplyDeleteRinaldo chimes in " I have a suggestion, doesn't tiberio have a whole lot of bugbears and goblins that no one really likes
ReplyDeletethey would serve as the perfect distraction to lead the clockwork army away while we hit from the other side and steal every single last gem they have along with every single bit of scrap metal we have ever sold them, then we could turn around and sell their own scrap metal back to them, these horrors are a good source of revenue my only real concern is keeping the numbers managable"
That's a good suggestion, but it would involve forming the bastards into some kind of mob, and marching them across at least part of Yoeville's territory.
DeleteI could easily send at least 500 in as cannon fodder if that is what we want to do.
DeleteMaybe we just need to raise a couple rust monsters and set 'em loose over there.
ReplyDeleteAnother good suggestion, but I would also remind you that the dead horrors are worth money:
DeleteCopper horrors are worth 50gp each, Steel are worth 100gp each, Iron are worth 1000gp each, silver are worth 2500gp, and gold are at least 10,000gp.
I say we nuke 'em from orbit.
DeleteIt's the only way to be sure.
DeleteI think we should try some divinations to figure out how many horrors there are. I also wouldn't mind doing some to figure out if they can throw any spells at us besides those lightning bolts. It should be relatively easy to research a spell to block that if we feel like we need it.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you ask about divinations, because Andrew already did some for his character. Here's the breakdown of Amicus' divinations:
DeleteThe impression you get from the gods is that the horrors are a slowly building threat. They have several things inhibiting their threat level, one of which is very clearly someone, or something, they are concentrating on in their territory. They can wait to be dealt with directly, but the longer it takes to deal with their threat, the more difficult they will be to get rid of. Also be warned, the horrors are adaptive in the extreme, both in tactics and technology.
