I'm bucking the trend because our point is to extract, so the sooner we are back to full mana essentially the faster we can probably get done. Magical "construction" takes three days, physical takes 7. There is not any difference in the amount of days to get up to 40 mana (9) with either this or Lone Badger's plan, it's just that this plan for a trade off of taking 5 more mana at the start and costs us 100 less gold that you start getting mana regenerated on day 4 instead of day 8. Basically this takes the same amount of days to get mana neutral and saves us 100 gold.

1) B - A small bedroom - 5 mana

2) A - large Lab/cell area - 300 Gold

3) B Good equipment - 500 gold

4) C - A channeling room - 10 mana

Exactly so.

We need at least one (1) Turtleman per four (4) Crabmen. Otherwise the Crabmen start to get unruly and squabble among each other.

Interesting, but perhaps we should get a few Squidmen too. It would be good to have Minions who can grab curious victims-to-be without killing them and understand more complicated instructions.

Last job was 2 grand for a whole lotta Sapphires. I imagine a good chunk of that was the value of the gems, with the rest being our labor fee. Considering that this is a more hazardous task due to much higher likelihood of drawing the attention of heroes, we can call the difference hazard pay. Then a slight increase due to our experience and resources.

We're a laser guided bomb in our task. A JDAM, not TSAR BOMBA.

We do our stuff and gently caress off.

Maybe there's side profit here, but it would be great if we could achieve our goal and maintain relative anonymity.

E: [removed an rear end in a top hat jab] we could spread a supervirulent malaria, then spread a strain that causes the carriers to hunt carriers of all malaria strains.

poo poo. Patent that and sell it to our alignment-challenged counterparts. Good everything vector for cures and such.

Profit?

Kidnap a bunch of ne'er-do-wells and hybridize them with otters. (gotta keep with a theme or we lose the hidden XP bonus)

Allow the inevitably cockney ottermans to retain the abilities of speech and higher cognition in order to have them play the part of the servants of a benevolent lady who just wants to help etc. capture and transform etc. Thus we grow our initial, perfectly suited group of saboteurs to rightly gently caress Things Good. Also we replace the morality center of their brain with a tic tac or whatever who cares.
