Selene hadn't been all that enthused to meet the Minions. "Really Lord Gromgard, I didn't take you for an infernomancer." Gnarl scoffed, but it was Quaver who answered, one hand dramatically clutching his chest.
"Ah, an it hurts me heart so to hear such ugly words fall from such beautiful lips. We're not imps miss, no tails you see?" Quaver spun around and shook his loincloth-bedecked backside in her general direction. Selene didn't look all that impressed, looking at you pointedly.
"To be honest I'm not sure what they are besides some kind of constructs that were given life. You've got to admit, much more interesting than golems. And they do grow on you." There was a loud crunch from where Giblet was snacking on a Spider sandwich, and you cringe before giving her a slightly shaky smile. "Like a fungus; but they do grow on you."

At the moment no. Having a Diplomatic advisor right now has opened up a lot of options because she can stand in for you so the Baron and Baroness of Spree don't know you're involved. Once they've been dealt with, one way or another, that's when you'd get the extra action.

I'm inclined to push for trying to build up a base to try and take solidify our position. So better control of minions, more advisors, prospecting for the money spot, and blackmail for intrigue. Probably wizard tower looting because it's implied to be time sensitive?

DC:55
Reward: Gain a better sense of where you're being pulled, ???
-[X][Personal]Swelling the ranks: With the current surplus of Lifeforce, you can easily see about creating as many Minions as possible. Many hands make for light work and all that...
DC: 1
Reward: Increases Minion count to maximum. (Will expand to determine how much of which kind of Minion once more Minion types are unlocked)
No reason not to go for Wolf Tactics and Swelling the Ranks since we have the life force saved up. As for taking the advisor action again…
It'll pay off if we get a good intrigue guy (since Dark Woods seems to be how to progress the Baron quest line), but money is still pretty tight and we might not be able to afford a full set of advisers before dealing with the Baron's taxes. We'll also be in a tight spot if we fail Prospecting again, so I went with Rolling Tithes so we have a backup plan in the unlikely case we fail it a second time (and because I find the idea of forcing the Minions to do the equivalent of community service hilarious, we can even use it as a punishment for Minions who annoy us).
-[X][Martial]Wolfpack Tactics: The forests of Spree are full of predators as well as prey. Take your Minions out to do some hunting and get them used to working en-masse.
DC: 30/70
Cost: 1d4 Minions lost and replaced, cost in Lifeforce
Rewards: Better control of the Minions, Gold, ???
-[X][Stewardship] Prospecting - After learning more about what treasures are literally waiting in the ground to be found, specifically searching the cliffs and caverns around Castle Gromgard may yield up areas that you can mine for ore or raw gems and crystals.
DC: 65
Rewards: Mining locations, new Stewardship actions, ???
-[X][Diplomacy] Rolling Tithes: Go see Sister Amelia about possible sources of work within the community. Or contacts that she may have through the temple of the Earth Mother that would be willing to hire you... or your Minions, for a task.
DC: ???
Reward: Possible contacts, Income chances
-[X][Intrigue] The Deep Dark Woods: Sienna, the local Halfling heroine, has been spotted by Gnarl returning from a trek into the woods with a bag full of potions, at least one of which was a water breathing potion. You'd not heard of any alchemists or other brewers setting up shop nearby. Head into the woods to investigate.
DC: 80
Reward: Lifeforce, ???, Chance for valuable loot
-[X][Learning]Lay of the Land: Selene has made it clear that she loathes the nobility of Everlight. You have no idea what the place is even like; let alone the politics. Might be a good idea to remedy that sooner rather than later...
DC:65
Reward: General Knowledge of Everlight Forest flora, fauna and political situation
-[X][Occult]Your Inner Eye?: When you'd constructed the Gauntlet, its completion had led to a strange sense of something being in a downwards direction. See if you can find that sensation again and figure out what it was that you were being pulled towards.
DC:55
Reward: Gain a better sense of where you're being pulled, ???
-[X][Personal]Swelling the ranks: With the current surplus of Lifeforce, you can easily see about creating as many Minions as possible. Many hands make for light work and all that...
