Reports of King Marcus

After her whipping, Antiope was put to work in the mines.

"Get to work" said the overseer, striking Antiope's back with her whip.

CRACK!

Antiope cried out in pain.

"Please, I'm Antiope, royal advisor to Queen Hippolyta" she said, "don't you recognise me?"

"Antiope was an older woman with a stronger build" said the Overseer, striking Antiope again.

CRACK!

"And she didn't have a dick. You look nothing like her"

Antiope gave up trying to reason with the overseers who previously served her and got to work pushing the mine cart.

Fred had a meeting with Alice, Sara, Daenerys and Taria.

"King Vader, we have received reports that King Marcus is marching his army towards Amazonia" said Taria.

"So who is King Marcus?" asked Fred.

"He is the king of Astolfo" said Taria, "they are allied with the Crimson Dominion"

"Well, he can't be that hard to defeat"

"Actually he has been using both necromancy and lost technology"

"So he had an army of dead robots"

"I don't know what a robot is" said Taria, "but Astolfo have mined for ancient technology created by the Dwarves. King Marcus discovered necromancy and used it to create zombified slaves to mine for this technology. In fact the reason that Amazonia had their slaves mining was in the hopes of uncovering some of this technology themselves"

"So do have any robots we can use?" asked Fred.

Fred had to explain to the others what a robot even is.

"King Marcus does have something like it, though they're called automatons. Amazonia never actually managed to acquire such technology however. We were just digging for something that simply wasn't there"

"Wait, so that's the point on the mines anyway?" asked Alice, "if we're not even getting anything practical out of it, why bother with the slaves? Why are we continuing this?"

"Because having a bunch of naked girls perform manual labour under the threat of being whipped is hot" said Fred.

"Marcus had also not aged in the past forty years, probably through the use of magic" said Taria, "his mother, sister and uncle are the same way"

"So we're up against an immortal family, zombies and robots"
