Well im gonna start my first round by making purchases of corpses and alchemy ingredients from my criminal contact if I can.

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 12:34 AM

Right, shouldn't be an issue! And given your traits that doesn't really require any rolls or similar, and it's not something super expensive so you can keep your "Rich" trait as well.

Flo Abetz 15-Nov-21 12:34 AM

Yeesss.

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 12:35 AM

So yeah, you can set up a constant supply of bodies and alchemy ingredients if you would want?

Flo Abetz 15-Nov-21 12:37 AM

Of course, but just enough to not get attention from a mysterious lack of bodies from other wizards.

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 12:38 AM

Right, so prefer to lay low and be understocked then?

If it becomes an issue, that is

Flo Abetz 15-Nov-21 12:39 AM

Yeah I’m gonna go with that.

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 12:40 AM

Right! Won't be an issue for a while though. How do you meet your contact? At your place?

Flo Abetz 15-Nov-21 12:41 AM

Yeah that i will.

You were able to meet with your contact and he was able to supply you with corpses and the alchemical ingredients you needed and will be supplying you with them on a regular basis. “I’d ask what you need this stuff for, but I know better than to ask. As long as you keep the money flowing you’ll get your “Supplies”. (You will be able to keep this deal going for as long as you possess the “Rich” keyword. If you lose it you will be unable to keep it going.) What do you do for your night-time phase?

Flo Abetz 16-Nov-21 11:43 PM

Well, I’ll start by making some alchemical improvement on the corpses before raising them.

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 11:45 PM

What kind of improvements are we talking here?

Flo Abetz 16-Nov-21 11:48 PM

Well these ones are gonna be the guards of my villa, so I’ll make it so that their eye organs that makes the tears also produce a compound that detects magic, if it’s possible. (edited)

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 11:49 PM

Fair enough. Tell you what, tell me all the upgrades you wanna add to them and I can then tell you how many phases each upgrade would take

Some upgrades might only take half a phase for instance, so you may be able to squeeze in extra upgrades.

Flo Abetz 16-Nov-21 11:53 PM

Ok, I want what I just told you, i also want to make their skin tough and make them more quick and agile.

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 11:58 PM

Fair enough! A base form creature has -5 in all stats and 1 health. To upgrade a stat you'd need one body per stat point and you could stitch together 2 bodies per difficulty level reached. So if you roll a 9+ you could stitch together 4 bodies, and if you roll a 14+ you could stich together 6 bodies. Etc. Mage sight would require 4 body-stitchings

And ofc, thanks to your upgrade, if you roll a 9+ it will count as a 14+

Flo Abetz 16-Nov-21 11:59 PM

I realised that I also gonna have to make them be perceptive to.

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 11:59 PM

In this first shipment you received 6 bodies. The next shipment will show up by the time of tomorrow's night-phase.

Flo Abetz 16-Nov-21 11:59 PM

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:00 AM

Yup, so you can use bodies to increase the perception stat.

And same with agility for speed, and vitality for toughness

You just gotta decide where to put the stat ups and what kinda points to spend! This will be a slow process, but you could effectively create several servant-class entities over time!

Flo Abetz 17-Nov-21 12:01 AM

Quality over quantity.

I’m gonna roll to stitch 6 bodies then.

Do I roll in roll20?

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:04 AM

Well then! Make a GM Necromancy roll!

Yes

Flo Abetz 17-Nov-21 12:04 AM

Ok

I pressed it, did I do it?

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:06 AM

Yes. You rolled a 19

Meaning you can stitch them all!

Flo Abetz 17-Nov-21 12:06 AM

Woooooo.

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:07 AM

So how do you wanna upgrade?

Flo Abetz 17-Nov-21 12:09 AM

Well I’ll make two undead, and use the others four bodies to give them each a +2 on vitality.

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:10 AM

Fair enough!

Flo Abetz 17-Nov-21 12:11 AM

This will be the start to my rise to evil, Muwahahahah!

Cindurion 17-Nov-21 12:11 AM

Yeees. Rise! RISE!
