You have to ask yourself, is it more pathetic, hilarious, amazing that our protagonist is 16 going on several thousand or 8? I'd lean towards the less creepy option myself. And yes, teaching the goblin to use the correct pronouns is of paramount importance.

The real power behind countless overlords

Your gender is dolphin. It therefore came as little surprise to anyone that the Powers that Be officially declared you an Evil Overlord and a menace to all mankind and their allies at only 8 years of age. You are the youngest Evil Overlord ever.

When your breakfast is finally delivered this morning you inform your last remaining servant that his name is now Hardcastle Jeeves. He seems delighted: "Very good, your Dolphinliness. So good to know my name at last. I do hope this means you won't sacrifice me to a demon like the others oh wise and powerful overlord. " A single harsh glare from you is enough to remind him of his place. He cringes and wrings his hands as he elaborates: "Unless you want to of course. I live only to serve and would be delighted to be sacrificed if that's what you want." Bowing he hastily scurries from the room as if afraid you'll sacrifice him right then and there.

Once more donning your evil overlord disguise you set out to join a Kobold Safari. Your disguise consists of:

1 black shirt
1 pair of black trousers
1 pair of black socks
1 pair of black leather boots
1 black cloak with a deep hood to conceal your features

The nearest safari departure point is a tavern a half day's walk away. When you leave your tower, you briefly consider riding there on one of the donkeys, but realize you don't know where Hardcastle Jeeves put them. They're not grazing outside. You think the safari leaves at noon and due to your late start you're going to have to run in order to make it.

You jog for as long as your short little legs will carry you. Along the way, a farmer working his fields saw you running and called out: "Wooo! Run little one, run! The wolves will getcha if you don't run fast enough. He, he, he." Exhausted and sweating you arrive at the tavern just in time. There are two families and a few assorted adults, all wearing brightly colored clothes that they imagine are well suited for a safari, boarding a pair of large stagecoaches as you run up:


The man who looks like he's in charge turns to look at you. "Crikey! Look atcha you! Look atcha you. Suuuper excited to see the kobolds? It's only 2 silver coins for a little thing like you." You pay him and realize how light your coin pouch is getting. You're down to 1 silver coin and 4 copper pennys. Unless there's some money in the merchant's haul, that's all the money you have in the world. Paying him, you climb up into the front stagecoach.

As the stagecoaches pull out the guide on your coach starts talking "We'll arrive at the inn near the Kobold preserve in 6 hours and your dinner and rooms have already been arranged. In the morning we'll all get back on the coaches and spend the morning looking at the daaangerous and deeadly Kobolds!" The guide continues to talk without stopping for the entire trip. Most of what he says is boring, irrelevant, or both. The coaches kick up a lot of dust as they horses pull them along the trails that pass for roads in the area around your Tower. A faint coating of dust covers everything in short order, but looking behind, you realize that the second coach has it even worse and is basically traveling through a cloud of dirt kicked up by the first coach.

1. Do you want to talk to anyone during the trip
A) No
B) Yes, the other passengers
C) Yes, one of the guides
D) write in
E) write in

Do you want to do anything in between now and reaching the kobold camp?
F) No
G) Yes, write in

I plan to update again in a few hours.

1.4 silver coins.

There are 10 copper pennies to a silver coin. There are 10 silver coins to a gold crown. Silver coins are generally referred to as moons or silver moons, but I didn't want to make that confusing. Gold crowns are sometimes referred to as crowns.

Well, it's a bunch of rubes looking at "fearsome" Kobolds. Are they even Kobolds? Do they get paid to be fearsome? Are there any actual fearsome Kobolds about? What do the fearsome Kobolds do in there off time? Etc.

1. C- What do Kobolds eat? What do they drink?

The guide seems delighted by your interest and talks at length. Great lengths about the culinary habits of kobolds. It's at least an hour before anyone can get him to talk about anything else. You now know more than you ever wanted to know about what anything eats, especially kobolds. The short version is that kobolds are omnivores, but their favorite food is white bread. As cave dwellers, kobolds obviously don't farm. So they were long a menace to farmers and bakers until the great heroes Hostess and Sam Adams effectively eliminated them. It's been more than 50 years since the last wild kobold was seen in this part of the world. Kobolds prefer to drink beer, but will settle for water or "the blood of young children" if nothing else is available. You're not sure if the guide was joking about drinking blood or not.

If Kobolds are so fearsome, how do these safari's work? And why do they need spiel to keep people entertained?

Also, once we have the guide buttered up, we should launch a spiel of our own. I mean, it is just our sister and us, sharing an abandoned tower with a goblin and trapping for food in the forest. We could use a little silver to get back on our feet

It's this kind of thinking that is likely to get one decimated by an Evil Overlord.

We have an actual demon tattooed on our leg. If it is all play time, that is some pretty intense play time and likely to be very offensive to Mr. Whiskers. Of course maybe it is just a scrawled ballpoint drawing. We don't really know yet. It has been hinted that our self perception may not be 100% reliable.

And... Run or the wolves will get you? Wolves? Where are these wolves? Traps we have.

Press-on temporary tattoo. We're going to need to make a pact with mom the Demon Queen in a few days when Mr. Whiskers' lifeforce begins to visibly fade and peel. Perhaps cleaning up our tower will prove we're serious about being committed to Evil?

Seriously, though, I find having a fictional eight-year-old Overlord killing the Amphibian King while torturing him for knowledge in a fantasy world much less evil than a fictional eight-year-old pretending to be Overlord smushing a garden toad in order to "interrogate the Amphibian King."

Both are interesting and challenging, but the latter more emotionally so.

Also, I'm not putting the concept out as a legitimate theory, but just something that is going to forever be hanging out at the back of my head.
