(This is a suggestion game, but I'll use your guy as one of the opposing creatures)
You go to the local bar, a place called "The Last Resort", and try to get a job there. They take you in easily, and you get a job as a waiter. While serving drinks, you spot the loneliest looking people in the bar and decide to give one or two a chat.
"Hey there." You say, kindly. "Feeling alright, sir?"
"Fuck no... I'm broke." The man takes a swig of his beer. "No wife, no job... I'm going to die."
"Well... soon enough, there isn't going to be any jobs..."
"Heh, with this economy, nah."
"No. A storm is coming. Everyone you know is going to die. Except you, if you are smart. Do you want to hear about the Dark One?"
He looks at you strangely, but nods.
You recruit 19 people this way. You get their phone numbers, and tell them to wait for further instructions. When you go home, you spill your blood in the basement and create a circular rune out of it, and wait for the Dark One to bless you for serving him with new followers. Sadly, the Dark One still hungers for blood. Your current arsenal (That is to say, none) will have to stay as is. If you prepare your basement, perhaps you could invoke with a better chance (+3)... Sadly, that requires materials that should cost $100. With your earning $30 a day, this might set you short.
