Equipping every Maiden with a permanently Invisible Helm would nearly double the cost of their armor.

Is it better than making their full plate +1? Because she wouldn't - couldn't - shouldn't - pay for everyone to have +1 armor.

Inadvisable yet irreplaceable visors do discretely hide Ileosa's fumbling handicraft, though.

You shouldn't laugh at your own jokes.

Somebody has to, and nobody else will.

Permalink

You can't make me finish UNSONG.

I do take your advice seriously, you know. 

I'll... think on the helmets.

What comes second on the Evil Overlord List?

Permalink

2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

Permalink

Does that interfere with how well they ventilate? 

Permalink

Not to my knowledge.

Seems harmless enough to implement. 

What's number three?
