Got her undead contingent. @Goldfish, you think this is fine for a guard / assault force?

[X] Undead to sell:
-[X] 700x Soulforged, Burning, Bloody Velociraptor Skeleton (3 HD, CR 4) - 135 IM each - 94,500 IM total
-[X] 200x Soulforged, Burning, Bloody Megaraptor Skeleton (4 HD, CR 5) - 220 IM each - 44,000 IM total
-[X] 100x Soulforged, Burning, Bloody Megatherium Skeleton (7 HD, CR 6) - 455 IM each - 45,500 IM total
-[X] Total cost: 183,000 IM
-[X] Sell at 50% markup for 276,000 IM
Mind that they all got Fast Healing to cut down on maintenance and they will simply regenerate when destroyed by anything that isn't Positive Energy, Holy Water or similar things.
They would all greatly benefit form armor, though I think that's something she would want to provide herself. Breastplates for the Velociraptor, Platemail for the Megaraptors and Megatheriums.

Wait, aren't Megatherium giant sloths? 😀

In all seriousness, these sounds pretty neat, though I think it might be better to sell them all 300 converted Megaraptors instead and lower the number of Velociraptors accordingly. The CR 5s will probably have a much greater impact than the CR 4s, considering the threat level of even basic units in the PoF.

@DragonParadox, out of curiosity, are we aware of the major mercenary groups that would rally to this call? I'm guessing Devils and Asuras first and foremost, but what else?
It's not going to be relevant to us for quite a while, though. Not until half of Prime Material is finally brought to heel.

Yes, they are. They make great bone-shields.
The idea is that you use the Megaraptos to pin an enemy down, while 3+ Velociraptors start jumping on them to tear them to shreds. With their jump attacks, the Velociraptors do pretty gnarly damage for their CR, and they soak a lot of actions to get rid off.
Perfect for a cheap diversion that is used in conjunction with stronger units.
(Also, I want to keep a few more of the more valuable Megaraptors for ourselves.)

Two thousand is a very large order to deliver at once. It would make sense to split it up over two months, IMO.
Looking at the costs 1000 is probably better. I thought you guys would go for cheaper undead. More than half a million IM would make a significant dent in the Princedom's treasury.

Re-edited.
Mind you, those are the cheap ones. Undead armies are cheaper then the alternatives, but even they get expensive in bulk. Especially if you deliver quality products.

With these undead in her arsenal she's going to have quite a bit more loot from successful raids, so her investment should pay off soon enough.

They are mostly for defensive purposes.
But I guess even that means she can direct more efforts towards raiding and other offensive options.

I genuinely didn't expect her to order this many undead, or even that she would want to use them to bolster her army. What I was thinking about when making the offer were a few artisan-pieces to act as guards and bone-shields in her keep.
But if she thinks she can use them? I'm not going to stop a customer from buying bulk.

It's not so much the money I didn't expect (she is ruling a realm on the PoF after all), but that she would trust us and a to her unproven product so easily.
That is the fault of the summarizing, she did put some undead through their paces interviewed a bunch of mages, it's just that this is below Viserys' level of abstraction.

We've got a pretty well established reputation with the Salamander Principalities by now, so I can see her trusting our products.

Random thought.
@DragonParadox, could we take a Devils soul and cram it into an undead body to bypass the Pact Primeval, thus opening up recruitment from other Archdevils?
