I vote the following:

G. Power for a year and a day, daily use. (3 Goblins)
L. Sexytimes coolvoice.

B. Local knowledge. (1 Goblins)


Keeping a few henchmen in reserve to do useful things like emptying out the chamber pot and buying more Cheetos is pretty important, so I'd like to avoid sacrificing the lot of them just yet.

How do you know there isn't a kobold camp in the local area, and that the demon's just trying to chisel more goblins out of us? Or for that matter that particular option won't lead to a hilariously apt result such as, "Alright so you're going to want to walk several thousand miles in a generally westwardly direction, stop when you hit the sea..."

Sexygoodtimes voice and the knowledge of where to apply it is the surest, quickest payout.

We then use our new sexy voice to recruit the village as our new servants, and then use the village to summon the demon again for higher tier powers. Human sacrifices, not goblin ones!

edit: tossed in a vote for magical might as well, for when we have to throwdown with the hero, assuming we can't talk him out of it

That's a really really good idea. Wouldn't it be even better if we knew where the largest concentration of villagers was, who the most influential villagers are, or which ones have the choiceiest and most mouse-like baptised infant children, and other helpful tidbits about the local area?

1. What do you want? You can mix and match

B) Knowledge of the local area. (costs 1 goblin)
C) Blackmail material on the nearby residents (costs 1 or 2 goblins)

I think getting the local townsfolk on our side is still a great plan. B and C are likely to help us with that. The local area may also involve some abandoned mines or ancient treasure-filled burial grounds or something. Could be useful.



F) A permanent pact for power. (-2 goblins)
If we can't trust Mr. Kitty, who can we trust?
2.
H) Invisibility -- We're not much of a fighter or we wouldn't be in this mess. Being able to sneak off is valuable, at least when dealing with low rent "heros" who don't have True Seeing.

L) A charming voice that is hard to refuse.

Let's get some demon juice and proceed to get kobolds! They're probably worth more to demons so we can exchange them for higher quality demon powers and then we can enslave orcs and trade up again and so on until we rule the world.

Now, I trust Colonel Sir Whiskerybottoms-Smythe. I really do. He's the godfather of my children, and I have him over on Saturdays for tea and light conversation with the family. But there's two things we ought to keep in mind,

1) He's a cat.
2) He's a demon trapped inside a magic spell circle who will hollow us out and eat our insides if that circle were to be ever breached.

Don't pet the kitty when his back is turned towards you and his tail is swishy. It means he doesn't want to be petted. Keep your hands to yourself and I'm sure he'll be an honest and true friend.

It's a pleasure to meet all of you. Especially in such a fine settin' as this. Just need us some music an' a brawl an' we'll be set.
A: Six Imps & G: Charming Voice

Imps may be pretty useless, but they're really annoying. We may not be able to kill or maim the heroes, but we sure can annoy them into giving up with the help of those tiny assholes.

As for the infernal superpowers, it all comes down to recruitment. Now some evil overlords might bribe their way into monstrous armies or use their great sorcerous might to dominate their feeble wills. We are not that sort of villain. I mean sure we're a mighty wizard and all, but all that mind magic stuff is totally beneath us. To say nothing of paying for help, I mean what's the point of being the scourge of humanity if your minions are just paid employees? The fact that those heroes stole everything of value is beside the point. Now, with those facts in mind we need the demonic power of persuasion. Then we'll build an army that'll show those jerks what for.

If nothing else it'll let us beg them not to beat us too badly.

I still think we need to enlist the villagers though. Not only do we support local economy (which allows us to kill much better equipped heroes and steal their much nicer gear), but it sets the foundation for a skillful Anti-Hero PR campaign bolstered by our soon to be gained Magical Voice.

How does it set this foundation? C'mon, heroes are just armed murderhobos. Hell, they probably looted the villagers homes on the way to our Tower for a handful of gold and a couple of healing herbs. They won't think twice about carving through Bill, who was just doing this part time so his daughter could afford piano lessons.

If they aren't saving you, then what's the point in them? I say we round them up and throw them in the Pit!*

This and then use our special sexytime voice to not only recruit the villagers, but also to start a cult so they will find more villagers (or whatever) for us so we don't have to do anything else. Have the cult focus whatever magical power they can scrounge up by whatever means towards making us more powerful. Use the power to bring the lower level demons into our power. Have them devote their power to us, by which we will enslave the demonic races and crush anyone who opposes us under our all-powerful heel.
Better yet, start many cults.

Note: DO NOT, under any circumstances, place any of our power into anything that can be destroyed or repurposed for someone else. See Frodo.

Edit: Simply, use the cultists souls to summon the demons and never bind ours to theirs, make them bound to us. Make sure we are in charge of the demons, not the other way round.

This on the other hand is a clever plan. Maybe set up a date with Colonel Sir Whiskerybottoms-Smythe for next week where he just hangs around in the middle of the room inside a cardboard box or something? Pretty sure he'd dig that.
