I'd say we should dismiss Kate. She's a menial trying to expect us to have obligations towards her? We own you, Kate. The only thing of notable value you have besides your Wordbearer status is the half-demon kid growing in you. That's about it. So stop being too big for your britches.
+1. Tell her to dead the child suffering and pain and maybe we will consider giving more than 15 seconds of our time to her. Give her the task of learning how to absorb evil or something. If it works, she feeds the child. If it doesn't. . . She is out of our hair.
Edit: read: Tendriled fingers.
My proposal for this turn action:
Dismiss Kate by telling her that so far she is nothing but the first in the line of mothers of your future children and if she wants you to spend time on her, then she needs to become even stronger and deserve a spot of a concubine in the future
I think it is a proper demonic course of action.
Take Mischa and her magic students(including Kate) to the abandoned temple that serves as the den for our brutewolves. Teach Misha and\or Kate how to control brutewolves. Leave our mage and her students in the forest with an order to study necromancy here and raise a small undead army while doing so. Mischa may get ingredients she needs for her project by ordering brutewolves to bring her some
Furthermore, take a canine form and mate with the strongest female brutewolf making sure that Kate sees it.
We should have a lot of body fragments there and it is a good source of undead. We could raise it ourselves but it spends our energy and... that low level necromancy should be done by mortal servants anyway.
Getting one more demonic child is a nice investment and Kate needs to see that our words are true.
Then travel to Nuulyd, settle in the local temple and spend days aiding your cult in recruiting more people. Spend nights corrupting dreams of townsfolk feeling their thoughts with distrust and hatred toward Tokzoku Empire and its greedy merchants. Nuulyd townsfolk should see nothing wrong in doing evil stuff against bronze-skinned savages. Cheating them, stealing from them, robbing them and even killing them should become morally acceptable because Tokzoku empire deserves that.
Our Cultists in Nuulyd deserve to see their master again. We want more evil in the world and this kind of xenophobia is great for this task. We may want to start a war later and this is a good start.
+1, This is the most Evil course of action by far.To be honest, I think Nokluvgn is more Evil than Krlnkir Yrlvnt ever was. His Evil is far more cruel, petty, and personal where Krlnkir Yrlvnt was impersonal, destructive, and uncaring. Where Krlnkir Yrlvnt was brutal and direct, Nokluvgn is conniving and insidious, and the difference really shows.
I have another suggestion.
Let's command Malkus Rom to train 71 more Cultists to become Nails, and train the 2 most martially inclined Sacred Wordbearers in the arts of war, to serve as minor commanders in our Cult militia.
When Malkus Rom has finished training the new Nails, he should select 60 Nails. The 60 Nails and 40 Mercenaries will be combined into one Throng under Malkus Rom's command, and we'll have a large mortal military force capable of spreading destruction and Evil without drawing any suspicion of Demonic activity.
The 40 remaining Nails will be divided into 2 forces of 20 Nails. The 2 trained Sacred Wordbearers will take command of the forces, with each Sacred Wordbearer commanding 20 Nails.
Both forces will serve as Guards at Fellshore, until we have fully converted Nuulyd, then one force will leave Fellshore to guard Nuulyd. The Sacred Wordbearers will be expected to train at least 30 new Nails by the end of the month.
We don't really need the Guards, but it won't cost us anything, and they'll put up the notion that rank and file Cultists matter in the grand scheme of things, which will help morale tremendously. They also be a help in the unlikely event that we're attacked, however small their contribution might be.
The 3 Knights will assist Malkus Rom and the 2 Sacred Wordbearer commanders in training the new Nails, but will remain separate from the forces for now.
