Are you finished kissing my feet, Jester? I have work to do.
According the the ears of the people, there is another forge being used by those chumps in the Red Dawn. If one such as myself were able to ..."repossess" it, this world would be a lot better off.
This stone archway looks suspicious...better check it out immediately.
[Some of the zombies are assembled in front of a larger zombie with flowing red eyes. The lead zombie, spotting the Overlord, summons a few more and prepares to attack.]
Gnarl: Looks like the one in the has been munching on a few military brains. He's controlling the others!
Trying to engage in a battle of numbers against me, the Overlord? We shall see about that!
[The lead zombie tosses a few fireballs at the Overlord.]
So you do have some modicum of intelligence. Allow my axe and magical barrier to correct the grievous error you made in attacking me!
Gnarl: I'm sure you don't want to be crushed by a rock giant, Sire, so I suggest you find our missing smelter.
Keep your rags on, Gnarl. The Smelter is right in front of me.
Gnarl: As I suspected, Lord. There's the Durium smelter!
Sure, right after I rold you I found it.
Gnarl: You must return it to the Tower at once!
Of course! But first, there are more zombies to slay.
[The smelter is being guarded by another pair of leader zombies. The Overlord tries to distract them while sending his minions up the ramps to take them out.]
Good work! Now, let us get our smelter back to the Tower...there is forging to be done!
Gnarl: The Durium smelter, Sire! This can produce a much sturdier metal, which can hold more Minion sacrifices. Visit your Forge to find out what new recipes are available to you.
Come, Giblet! Fetch me some durium equipment post-haste!
[Giblet commissions the forging of a durium axe and suit of armor.]
Ah, yes...I can feel it! I can feel the power! Wait...something is missing...of course! Without a new helmet, this ensemble is incomplete! It will have to wait...I must first find William and mount his head upon my throne.
[The Overlord returns to the castle town on Heaven's Peak to retrieve an artifact just sitting out in the open at the town square.]
Gnarl: Ah, now the Flamethrower spell is the Fireball's older brother. Just aim it at anything flammable and you'll have more charcoal than you could ever wish for.
[The peasants begin fighting back against the zombies emerging from the Poor Quarter. The Overlord goes off to investigate a loud feminine cackling sound on the other side.]
Such an obnoxious laugh...of course it would have to come from a succubus.
Gnarl: Doesn't exactly say 'Welcome', does it? Sir William is certainly not anxious for visitors. And I wouldn't advise tangling with these ladies just yet.
Are you suggesting that those succubi are in league with William? Or perhaps the other way around? Around...yes, that is what I must do.
[A group of villagers is trapped on the other side of a blockade leading to the Silent Order temple.]
Villagers: Let us in, let us in! We are your lost sheep!
Minions: Sheepies...sheepies, where sheepies?
[A group of white-robed Silent Order priests look down upon them.]
Villager 1: Give us sanctuary, give us food...we beg you!
Villager 2: You pious silent fiends, we're dying out here!
Villager 3: Barrier's won't save you...not in the end. They'll break through! They've got to come out sooner of later. And we'll be waiting!
Rose: Now that's just silly! They're starving potential worshippers! Do something!
Convert them to my cause instead? A capital idea! Minions! Tear that barricade down!
Villager 1: He's done it! He's broken it down!
Villager 2: Looks like there is some humanity left. Let's go!
[The worshippers try to walk in, and are immediately killed by a group of Black Knights.]
You saw that, Rose...Gnarl...that was not my fault.
[Another farmer is killed while the Minions are out harvesting life force from sheep.]
Again, not my fault. Minions, apologize to the corpse this instant! We need as many humans alive as possible!
[The Overlord goes back to the scene of the Silent Order battle. Twoe of the priests walk up to him and try to say something...]
Gnarl: My mumble is a bit rusty, but I believe he's saying, 'We surrender! Please don't kill us!' That, or he's asking the way to the nearest banana merchant. I'm inclined to go with the former.
[The priests speak to one another for a moment, and then get down on their knees before the Overlord. The priests and the Black Knights immediately cease their attack.]
Gnarl: They appear to have accepted you as their new god, Sire.
Excellent!
