"I took your top for a reason! You will not get out of your punishment this way! This display of rebellion will not stand!"

Take EVERYTHING from her.

>>333827
No need to get upset, that won;t do us any favors.

Casually say "Impressive." Then de-equip her bottom.

"We have some more business to attend to. When I return I hope you are ready to sit down and have a civil discussion with me."

Now then, lets go sell the rest of the loot.

>>333827
"Tch. Admirably creative, but you seem to have missed the point of my action. I was not merely taking away that item; you will wear no top until you have shown adequate remorse for your refusal to aid me in restoring Kassandra's health. Remove it, or it will be removed."

If she doesn't take it off at our order, de-equip it for her.

I hope that the others are here to see this. I want to see if Kassandra's pissed at her.

>>333832

"That's clever. Kassandra's recovered, by the way. Speaking to her might be enlightening."

Let's not punish her for creativity, but let's not reward her for getting around a punishment either. Check with Styx to see how long we've got before food becomes a problem. It should be a few more days at least, right?

>>333832

Yeah, votin' this.

>>333832
That's getting angry again. We talked about that, remember? Downvoting.

>>333834
Voting for this

>>333834

We aren't really upset, we're trying some intimidation. If she sees how fearful we can be when angry, she might be more inclined to cooperate.

Is there any way we can shoot fire out our sides, or make ourselves look more intimidating?

>>333838
yeah, metion that you just paid an exorbent fee to make kass not be hurt anymore. get kass and her in the same room.

No. You guys just want to see her naked -.-

I am still of the favor that we need to back off on the clothes thing, and just bring her into battle a bit. Right now, you are just aggravating her. Go into battle, and show her that you can win with or without her. She might begin to show weakness.

>>333844
This is a punishment that is both punitive, and at the same time, harmless.

>>333827
Eh, let it stand. We don't need naked minions.

>>333844

Well, they do. I'm just making sure she doesn't get out of her punishment, and she's further punished for disobeying us.

Besides, we have every right to be angry. Kassandra was in pain, and she refused to help. And now, she's getting out of the punishment for that.

>>333842
We're a tiny little floaty thing. We're not really equipped to intimidate, and any attempt which falls flat will only worsen our position here. Let's not go for sound and fury.

I am inclined to give her another opportunity to obey by ordering her to remove the impromptu top herself before taking it off ourselves. If she refuses, we can demonstrate once again that we punish resistance, and if she does as we ask it's a small victory for us.

>>333843
What, and make poor Kassandra suffer through Alice as a roommate? Let's not.

>I am inclined to give her another opportunity to obey by ordering her to remove the impromptu top herself before taking it off ourselves. If she refuses, we can demonstrate once again that we punish resistance, and if she does as we ask it's a small victory for us.

I like this, too.

>>333850

Maybe you have a point.

Let me rewrite my suggestion.

"Alice, you were being punished for letting your peers suffer, and doing nothing. This display of rebellion only displays how selfish you truly are. Remove the top."

If she doesn't, THEN forcefully take everything.

>>333842
Getting angry does not make for good intimidation. Getting upset means that they are getting to you.
To show dominance we should either show no emotion or be amused, as that implies having control over the situation.

I support freedom. freedom for the boobs, that is. off with the top!

I get the feeling we're going about this the wrong way, by playing into her stereotypes as being the Evil Overlord.

Anyway though, good job with Kass :) You now have a very useful minion who's actually pretty damn loyal, good job!

"Tch. Admirably creative, but you seem to have missed the point of my action. I was not merely taking away that item; you will wear no top until you have shown adequate remorse for your refusal to aid me in restoring Kassandra's health. Remove it, or it will be removed."

She glares at you for a moment then rips the makeshift top off. She tosses it to the ground and walks away from you, pushing Kassandra aside as she does.

>Kassandra: ".... I don't think she likes me.."

>Ruby: "What a bitch.."

"Don't worry, she'll come around. Right now we need to sell some things."

You teleport to Fabio's shop to sell some of your loot.

>Fabio: "Ovahlord! My main man, this is some good loot right here! Here's my price for them, whaddya think? Oh! Also got a new item in stock, the Scan Scoll! Use it on yoself and you can see all the enemies health and stuff. Pretty awesome huh?"

>>333857
"Indeed, but it should wait. Got a kitchen to construct and just enough money to do so now. The humans are uppity enough as it is. Next time, I'm sure."

>>333857
Sell the TW equipment and the two GD shields. Then we'll have enough to repair the kitchen!

And yeah that is pretty cool, buddy, but we're not gonna be able to buy it today.

>>333857

nice! ...but I'm guessing it's a single use item and not a permanent enhancement. it'll have to wait, because you'll only have enough to rebuild the kitchen if you sell the robes, the staff, and the shields and don't buy anything. I'm guessing (and voting) we keep the armor.

>>333857
"Indeed it is, but I think I shall have to leave its purchase for another time. I have other uses for my funds at the moment."

Sell our stuff, send the money to Styx to continue reconstruction of our fortress, and let's go hunting again. A level 5-7, if one's available.

>>333857
Nice Fro'

>>333863
I asked Larro. He said it IS a permanent upgrade.
We NEED that scroll now before his stock changes!
We can buy our minions food to hold them off until the kitchen is ready, and we can queue up the kitchen so construction can start the second there's enough gold.
We are NOT passing up something this convenient!

>>333877
Well shit, if it's permanent then of course we buy it. I figured that "scroll" meant "one-use consumable".

>>333877
Whoa. Okay, buy it. We'll just need one more day to fix the kitchen.

Isn't there something else we can sell to afford the kitchen and the scroll?

Get scroll.
Ask if he can provide food until we get a kitchen.

You decide to sell all your stuff.

"Hmm. I would love to have the scroll but I need to build a kitchen for my minions."

>Fabio: "Not a problem overlord mah man! Take it, you'll owe me the twenty Gs later kay?"

"Thank you Fabio."

=You can now see the Enemies health during battle, even without Overlord on the field!
By using up his round Overlord can also see an enemies Equipment and Spells!=

"All right, let's try for another rank 5"

>Rose: "My Lord... I do not mean any disrespect but we are all rather tired.."

Alice isn't. She has been doing a grand total of JACK FUCKING SHIT, so gear her up and send her out for dispatch. Tell her she can go hunt gunners all night if she really wants to. You and the girls are going to have a nice bath soak and then go to bed.

>>333894
She's right. It can wait.

Let them rest. But no sending Alice out alone.

>>333894
"Oh... right. I'm just a floating eyeball and I forget these things. Rose I'm counting on you to inform me sooner next time."

We don't have a barracks yet, are there suitable areas to sleep in? At least you can all bathe. Lets talk to sticks she can help us figure this out.

be nice. let 'em rest. watch out for the archerbitch though; you'd best sleep with one eye open.

...get it? with one eye open! hahaha... uhh, nevermind.

>>333894
"Alice should not be, and Emily is a construct. I shall take them to a low level area so we may get the money to repay Fabio."

Go take on a Level 1 or 2.

>>333894
"Ah. Right, exhaustion. Thank you for reminding me, Rose. We can rest for now and resume tomorrow."

Try to see to it that your servants are adequately settled in.

>>333900
I would be somewhat concerned that she'd go out and intentionally get herself killed in order to be freed from our control, if we sent her out alone. Let's just leave her on one-quarter rations and call that enough of a slap for her continued defiance.

>>333919
No, you already punished her by removing her clothing. Stop rubbing salt in it. She hasn't defied us any more, so there's no need to keep punishing her.

We want to make her want to be loyal to us, not create a hatred in her. Lay off a bit.

>>333900
This.

>>333928

Ditto. She wants her clothes back, and she wants to relax, she should get off her lazy ass and help.

>>333922
True enough. We can save cut rations for any subsequent bits of insolence on her part.

I think you should go the high road.
Be so good to her that she can think of noting else.

>>333900

We don't need rest. We should go with Alice and whoever else is up for it.

Alice isn't loyal enough to go anywhere on her own. She can't act directly against us but we've seen that speech isn't covered. So Alice could find someone and tell them that the overlord is active again.

Also, if everyone is resting, who will be watching Alice? It seems our hand may be forced here. We may have to use that potion.

Emily is a golem of sorts, she should be able to go quite some time without rest, and we should try to pay Fabio back as soon as we can.

You decide it might be best to let everyone rest for now. Rose and Emily make some small cots and you send Alice to Styx so she may keep an eye on her. Actually thinking about it you order the two of them to rebuild the kitchen, with Alice doing most of the heavy lifting.

Your loyal minions go to the bathing area and take a nice relaxing bath.

You reflect on the day for a moment.
In only one day you have managed to rebuild a major chunk of the castle.
You gained three new minions, a healer, flame wizard, and an archer.
Defeated quite a few enemies.
Reversed an Age spell.
You did more in one day then most do in a year.

You look around and see your minions relaxing.

"Best job ever."

objective added: get Styx to build you a left hand.

>>333943
>"Best job ever."
Yes. Yes indeed.

>>333948
Hmm... first order there is to get a bigger stronger floatation device for ourselves, and put a couple arms on it. Being actually able to hold things is better than just being modular. Maybe one arm can be a snazzy blaster/claw combo, the other more for wielding and other... delicate tasks.
