Sword of Chaos? A large, jagged, black blade with cracks of constantly changing color. When it hits, it corrupts whatever it strikes with chaos causing any number of ill effects. Sorta like a more violent Wabbajack.

Sound good.

Artifacts, unlike Boons, have no upkeep but rather a huge upfront cost instead. Something as powerful as that would definitely take more than 28 mana, unfortunately.

We need Mana... We need  rituals that grant this

Human sacrifices are good, but not very well suited  for the life god. Anything except willing self sacrifice is out of the question

So, what should our cultists  do to boost our mana output?

Burning down something valuable? (Fire)
Tantric sex? (Life)
Tantric wild sex orgies? (Life + Chaos)

>.> Let's focus on surviving. I don't think any of our follower's have real military training yet anyway, so they'd as likely hit themselves as their target...
Meanwhile, maybe we should start organized military drills? Having them work together and all? It's a small community, so they probably have to work together a lot just to survive, anyway(should be used to it). 25 people should train, learning to fight and march in the following formations;

Skirmish; they have a few yards between each of them, enough so they stretch around the village behind the thorn wall, and can support each other in an emergency.
Rank; Fighting in three ranks, about 8 people in each with one person in a fourth watching to see what's going on and what needs be adjusted.
Last Stand; 5x5 formation with a small gap in the center for two people. Fighting on all sides in case everything goes to hell.

Weapons should start being crafted by the village smith, converting hoes and other long-handled implements into spears with broad points. Clubs and the like should be easy to find, but spears will keep our foes back long enough for Tiberius McBadass to get over and help. Plus, easy to use, comparatively; these people should be pretty strong from back-breaking farm work, and it's mostly just 'thrust the pointy bit at them, don't hit your friends. It'd be nice for them to be around seven to eight feet long, to give them plenty of room. And everyone should have a short weapon too, in case they get too close.

We can use fire to help smith craft the weapons. Azula and Eldrick should try to work together to help fortify the wall and make fire-flowers or something.

And we need at least one lightning rod. Is there a tower of fountain of some sort in the village?

Ever heard of churches. They got this thing know as praying.

Or tone down on their power. Or only make one. Or skip it for now.

And yeah, once we're not under attack let's make a church.

Incense burning should be Life+Fire.

Morning prayers at dawn when the sun is rising is also kind of Fire.

For chaos, that could be in the church design. But chaos can be pretty, too  ;D

Or chaos could be muttering random syllables. Therefore, a fairly simple ritual would be burning insence while muttering random syllables.

Or while someone plays random notes on the pipe organ we are inevitably going to have. Or any instrument. The more the merrier!
