You are Malcador Grey, easily, hands-down, without a shadow of a doubt the greatest man to ever stride the earth, and by your silver tongue alone, you've convinced over fifty men of your divinity. For you've seen the truth, for generations the Unholy have feasted on the flesh of men, but in the depths of a dream, the prophecy was revealed to you. The only way mankind could be freed from captivity was to feast on the flesh of those who would see them in chains, and by doing so, take their power as their own!

Already, you've dined on the black blood of the twisted bony worms whose screech drives men to suicide, and while it was one of the worst meals you think you've ever had, it awakened something in you. Supernatural power, in your enlightenment, you need not breathe, and by merely opening a text, the secrets of all manuscripts of the same kind are revealed to you. Your followers may have had their doubts, but when they recognized your wisdom, they were swept away in a tide of gluttonous fervor.

They understand that the ancient kingly system which the white man once lived under is the only way to ensure lasting prosperity, and that you, and you alone, are the only man worthy of sitting upon the throne of the kingdom which shall stretch across the horizon, shining so bright that the Unholy shall recoil at its light! While their faith is without question, you've managed to rally another fifty-odd peasants to your banner with the promise of food and the devotion of the newcomers is in doubt, but no matter, they shall accept your place as king and bend the knee, or they shall die!

Your motley rabble has almost nothing in the way of arms and armor, and they have the rations for merely seven more days. It is clear to you that if you don't obtain provender immediately, the faithless will flee and the pious will perish, as no man can march on faith alone. In the midst of the Himalayas, you must find a way to feed over a hundred men in one week's time, a fitting test for one of your strategic skill.

Your followers are soon to starve and that cannot be tolerated. If they are to fight, they must find food, and the best place to find food is in one of the goat-herding villages that peppers the mountainside. Overeager to ensure they don't starve, your men travel through the mountain paths at blinding speed until two days come to pass, and by sheer chance they stumble upon a humble Kēbina village of perhaps forty souls.

An astute eye indicates they have a thriving herd of goats and a great many gardens, almost double what is necessary to feed a community of this size. Truly, they are prosperous, and as much as it pains you, you're going to rob them of their goats, or your men are going to starve. But, maybe you don't have to kill them, perhaps they could be led to see reason, and you'll only have to take what you need to stave off your hunger.

These humble goat-herders wallow in ignorance, supping on goat's meat, chained to their humanity. They are miserable, slaves to their nature, and they do not know it. You must reveal your majesty to them, and show them the myriad delights dining upon the fattened flesh of the Unholy can bring! Then they shall worship you, and give you everything you ask!

> Forty-odd minutes later

It turns out, these people have been isolated for decades and have never seen a white person, let alone one leading a throng of cultists and ranting and raving about how they need to leave their humanity behind, consume unspeakable abominations to mutate, accept him as their unconditional king, and give him at least half of their goats in taxes.

An angry mob determined to defend their homes have gathered to slay you, but it's not a large village, they're no better armed than you are, and you have a distinct numerical advantage.

Focus on taking all their goats. If they're a disorganized mob, we can force our troops to form up and get like three people to beat each of them as they come to stop us taking their goats. We should avoid wasting our precious followers in this fight.

We can come back later and take the village when they are weak, poor, and more amenable to seeing things our way. They can be our goatherds, freeing our troops to fight.

You're around the level of a militiaman, relatively shit-tier in the grand scheme of things, but good enough to reliably defeat untrained rabble in hand-to-hand combat assuming you aren't surrounded.

Jokes aside we live in mountains, we have very little building space aside from into the mountain

just a thought we should probably salt and cannibalize the villagers as well. Dont want to starve in these cold mountains. Our purpose is holy, they will be grateful in the afterlife.

How did we kill our first abominable meals ? If we even killed them ...... we did like the hyenas packs right ? Find really weak&hurt ones or just take the corpses of one of them ?
>>2949243
We need more "soldiers" and a population that can feed them, taking other near villagers should be our objective other than have a base/capital.

Also what about getting a crown+scepter ? With that we have some symbols for affirm our power.
Maybe a banner ?

Also maybe some advisors/experts that are not insane and have knowledge on something (Doubt we can find people like this in our ranks or on this desolates villages. Maybe on some citys or with a lucky roll for random events) .

You scream "PINCH" in Russian, and your men begin to execute the pincer formation as you'd practiced. The Fodder fall in line and force the villagers back, moving as one, but the Fanatic's lust for blood outweighs their discipline, they break ranks to charge the peasants head-on in a berserk frothing frenzy.

Despite their lack of order the unrelenting horde's maddened ferocity matches the defenders, and while a dozen of your men fall to their blades, a dozen more of theirs are rendered gory corpses. In the face of these wild-eyed screeching zealots who have no more respect for their own lives than they do their foes, the village mob breaks and they scatter. Unfortunately for them, your men are eager to pursue. Soon, all those who dared to fight are dead, and your cultists have dispatched their wounded.

Nine of your Fanatics are dead or maimed and mercy-killed, but the rest of the fallen sustained minor wounds and should be in fighting condition within a week's time. You've suffered losses, but they're nothing that can't be replaced in due time, and you still have the rest of the village to see to.

Begin to torture them to find out where other villages are near by, then enslave them and force them to carry anything worth while while we march on the next one.

>>2949462
>>2949468
Sounds fine. Maybe we should aim to get info from the elderly first, then their young and their women can join us and carry stuff. Probably a few that can be converted to loyals, the rest have various uses: Carrying stuff, campfire, cooking, other unskilled labor.

Depending on what kinda faction we wanna be the women that wont convert can also be bedwarmers

And look for anything resembling a book while we're at it.

>>2949462
basically >>2949468

Prisoners can be used as as chattel slaves basically as anything from sex slaves to spare food, those who want to escape the life can attempt to join the zealots and earn a better place among our warriors.

Make a body display of the dead in the village as a tribute to our god(s?)

>>2949553
I think we should allow them to join before the rape stuff, just in case someone has sense. A former rapee fighting side by side with a rapist may not be a recipe for camraderie and such...

>>2949553

This. Wes got lots of meats now, both goat and human. We can trek through the mountains in search of a sacred feast, gathering up faithful along the way. Maybe we can even find an ancient bhuddist temple. The monks should know.

Also. Thank Cthulu for OP returning. You never know these days.

>>2949557
I disagree the men need to be rewarded for fighting slaves and loot forefill this and incentivise loyalty towards us, being benevolent strips the men of half their reward and dosen't really incentavise fanatical loyalty also having infighting within the ranks at least on a minor level inspired some tenacity and brutality among our soldier and of ot gets so bad to be a problem we can just go full sparta and commit purges of our slave to keep them keeled also its fucking boring constantly doing the benevolent thing which is the go too on /qst/ for conquest.

I take it the plan is to:

> Give your men free reign to loot, rape, and pillage, while you search for a book
> Enslave the villagers that don't join and force them to carry the loot
> Torture the elders until one breaks and tells you where you can find another village

Correct?

>>2949610
Yup

>>2949610
Sure, I feel like we should basically indoctrinate those who are willingly joining us into the Zealots and give them free range on their old village as a sort of "be born again in fire and blood destroying your old life" sort of thing

>>2949610
Agreed

>>2949620

Alright. Do you want to participate in the festivities yourself, or do you want to stand off to the side like the god-king you're convinced you are? Turning Fodder into Fanatics is possible, but it takes time, trial, and error.

You gather the handful of prisoners and give them an ultimatum, to swear fealty to you or die an honorless death. Every one of them refuses, they spit at your feet and mutter curses. You give the word to the zealots, and minutes later each of them is beheaded. It's a shame, they could've been changed by the meat of the Unholy if only they would see.

At your command, the elders, women, and children are gathered into the center of the village. Then, you instruct your men to begin pillaging their foodstuffs and any valuables they can find. As eager as they are to begin celebrating their victory in earnest, your men comply and comb through their Kēbina with surprising swiftness. Less than half an hour later, a heap of smoked meats and dried vegetables is piled high in the center, and while it's not enough to last your army more than a month, if it was conserved it could've kept these villagers fed until the harvest.

> 36 Day's Rations gained

It seems these peasants were wealthier than their visible prosperity indicated, all manner of synthetic fabrics, treated goat furs, heirloom jewelry, and high-quality tools are stacked taller than the typical Nepali.

> 26 Loot gained

Being the king, it's up to you to decide how to distribute the plunder. If you took it all for yourself, the Fanatics wouldn't have any complaints, but the Fodder might grow disloyal, and besides, they fought well and you figure they deserve a proper reward. Most of the women are old and married, or average in looks, but there's one or two that catch your eye, and while you'll have first pickings during the plunder, you're sure none of your men would begrudge you taking one as your personal servant.

>>2949849

>>2949849
Looks good to me boss.
Also the main reason why I want the tools is so that we can build our own artifacts that might need our own personal touch (Like anyone else is going to come close to our perfection in creation)

I'm going to be busy for the next eight-ish hours, and I'll update sometime later tonight.

Consuming raw eldritch meat from beyond reality doesn't just twist the body anon.

>>2949884

Sounds pretty cool to me.

Hopefully the next village will be less... reluctant. We want some tributaries.

None of these homely goat-herder's widows interest you, no, what you crave is their silken fabrics, goat's hides, and tarnished jewelry. It is not fit that the KING should be clad in tattered rags, if you are to RULE over these peasant simpletons, you must look the part. You take your time sifting through their treasures, at least fifteen minutes, and you select only the finest of their shoddy wares.

Once you've stripped from your rags, given these lowly wretches the honor of gazing on your naked flesh, and clad yourself in antiquated nylon silks, goat's hides, and scuffed rings, you give your men free reign to pillage as they will. And they do, vigorously and furiously all throughout the night. While your men strove to satisfy their baser urges, you took the principle of Noblesse Oblige to heart and questioned an old man.

Your knife may be sullied with commoner's blood, and an unsightly corpse may adorn the village center, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made, and it took quite some time, you're now aware of potential targets for your merry band of madmen. There are three villages within two week's travel, and each has some relatively fascinating rumors.

> The first village, eight day's away is thriving, and home to almost thirty peasants, an overabundance of milky goats and chickens bought from the lowlands, and if the rumors are true, the comeliest chief's daughter in a hundred kilometers.
> The second village, eleven day's away is humble and impoverished, home to scarcely thirty peasants, it is said that a foul spirit has claimed an ancient shrine and inflicts hideous nightmares on the people, supposedly. its skin cannot be pierced and its withering touch brings the strongest men to their knees.
> The third village, twelve day's away is of above-average wealth with close to sixty peasants, allegedly, their village elder has a cache of deadly weapons preserved from before the Doom-Times and has managed to train a small, but fierce militia.

You find the rumors of the shrine's foul spirit intriguing, so without further ado you give the word to begin marching. For four days you travel at the forefront of the horde without issue, then one morning, at the crack of dawn you hear a crackling pulse and screaming slaves, and when you see the source, it's all you can do not to shout in horror and flee down the side of the mountain.

Two abominations, most unspeakable climbed the mountain to assail your column. To the ignorant eye, they resemble legless rhinoceroses with bright yellow hide splashed with neon pink swirls, twisted into the shape of slender vipers, both with a dozen rigid tentacles in place of their appendages and horns like a gladiator beetle's. Their senses are poor and as substitute, their tentacles grip and shatter everything in reach, and they throw arcs of lightning to fry the blurs beyond their grasp.

Four captive villagers were electrocuted, torn apart, and devoured in moments. Many more would've died but the gore distracted them long enough for you to a fire a shot that miraculously pierced the larger one's eye and bore a hole in its brain, killing it instantly. Following your cue, those of your men with firearms targeted the smaller one's skull, and as it panicked, a raving lunatic sprung forth, leaped onto its side, and sunk his spear through its eye. His thrust killed it instantly, and the dying monster's lightning spasm turned the suicidally brave fanatic into a char-black skeleton. The skirmish was over as soon as it began, and already, you begin to salivate at the thought of sinking your teeth into their succulent meats!

Your fanatic's faith can't get much stronger, but the fodder look at you with new respect, and the captives are terrified of your rifle. Of course, it was all blind luck but you could've killed it easily either way, so you don't see the need to ruin the impression you've made. Your followers dismember the Unholy bodies in short order, and harvest enough to feed 7 Troop Points at least once. As the King of the Eldritch Feast, you get the first pickings of the meat, but if you take too much your men may grow bitter, and if your body's overloaded with malign energy, who knows what could happen?

Nice, this all seems pretty cool. I think the drones should be produced asexually. Maybe we can mold them from the earth? Also, if im reading this right we can choose 3 specialties? How does that work?

Feed 1 portion of meat to each fanatic troop point.. and maybe with the last three, offer it to any other troop wishing to have it at the cost of becoming fanatics? Maybe through a spiritual event or such

Molding them from the earth sounds pretty cool, let's give 2 units of meat to our fanatics, and 1 to our fodder

I think we can do somthing more horrible and dramatic. Mabey regurgitating them, or forming them from our blood?

Vomiting eggs, to have them quickly hatch and molt?

No, I rolled, and their specialties are Child Rearing, Food Production (one food), and Unskilled Labor.

Yeah, fuck it, this is fucking eldritch meat that we're consuming, the spawning process has to be terrifying

I'm thinking they should look like the lovechild of Moths and Spiders. Or like Centipedes and Goliath Beetles.

Yes. We vomit up eggs that grow into human worm children.

They shouldn't have eyes. They just make clicking sounds to find there way. Makes it more eldrichly creepy.
