Cause E/D to discard the scythe permanently, by destroying it.

[flabort]

Realize that we need more blood, since ours is dried. Drag a shopkeeper to Coolrune's body, and inscribe another hexagram between the keeper's shoulderblades, then use blood from the shopkeeper's new wound to draw a larger hexagram around the body.

There was an error regarding the status of the evil spirits in the previous post. the evil spirits had been repulsed.

You lack anything which can easily cut into the skin, aside from the hotly contested Scythe.  You use sticks to make some wounds, waking the shopkeeper up.  The shopkeeper begs for mercy!

You draw a hexagram into the dirt around coolrune's body, mixing blood into the dirt.

It is surrounded by a hexagram drawn in the dirt, with small amounts of blood mixed into the dirt.

Your evil act has drawn the attention of evil spirits! Evil spirits are looking in your general direction!

Most of your ritual is scrambled to uselessness by the dodecagram! -1%

...that darn dodecagram. You should really do something about it.




You become slightly hungry.

Diagrams:
There is a massive hexagram traced into the ground:

corner 1: a whimpering shopkeeper, and a hexagram of blood and dirt.  coolrune's body is in the middle of the hexagram.
corner 2: null
corner 3": There is a decagram made out of 3 sticks, orange wax, and green wax.   The sticks are bloody. There is blood in the center. there are black candles in the center. This diagram is destabalizing the larger hexagram!
corner 4: null.
corner 5: There is a hexagram of sticks. almost dried blood coats the sticks. 
corner 6: null

There is a sythe, smeared with white wax, with a snuffed out candle on top.  It is doing nothing for the moment.

Blood is almost always needed.

Scythes are only ever used to send spirits towards the afterlife, never to bring them towards life.

Pentagrams work, but they are horribly inefficient.  In this world, hexagrams are actually preferred.

Heptagrams are theoretically more efficient and faster than hexagrams, but they are somewhat risky: the wrong phase of the moon, the wrong color of clothes, the wrong weather conditions, and the heptagram  will do the opposite of what you want.  octagrams are, again, even more efficient and fast acting in theory, but are so horribly unstable that almost nobody ever uses them.

Cthulhu is not the name of an eldritch god in this universe.  Uhluhtc, however, is.

Candles are very, very helpful to guide spirits to the diagram. Red candles are typical.  Orange candles sacrifice speed for increased stability.  yellow candles sacrifice consistency for speed. Green candles negate the need for blood, but may require other components in its place. White candles will repel evil spirits, but may slow the ritual down.  Black candles will speed the ritual up, but will attract evil spirits.

Lastly, resurrections are easier if there is a body to resurrect into.

Break the Dodecagram, use constituent parts as a knife to more accurately cut a hexagram into now-awake shopkeeper's skin.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Corrupt the Scythe with black candles, corrupt it!

[poketwo]

SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE.

[fractalman]

Your shenanigans is succesfful! You make a wax knife out of the pieces of the dodecagram!

The wax knife is eldritch, and chips away at your sanity!

You cut a hexagram into the shopkeeper's skin.

Your evil act brings the evil spirits to your general vicinity!

The new hexagram draws Coolrune closer: +7%

With the decagram removed from the picture, he is able to feel his body! +10%!

Corrupt the Scythe with black candles, corrupt it!

You stick some black candles onto the scythe. This does not appear to have any effect.

SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE.

You glance at the money in one of the cash registers. There's at least a couple hundred dollars here.

PREPARE FOR DEFENDING AGAINST THOSE 'MANE 6' PONIES. START BY LOOKING UP TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE SHOULD USE TO HIRE DEADPOOL OR HIS NEAREST EQUIVALENT TO KILL THOSE 6 WITHOUT OURSELVES BEING KILLED BY HIM.

In a moment of insanity, you equip yourself with a stick. In this moment of insanity, you are completely convinced that this is a sufficient defense against beings with superstrength, toon-like reality warping, casual TK, flight, the ability to summon lighting out of any old cloud, and did I mention the fluffy tamer, who will summon every single woodland critter ever?

Perhaps if you had been even one step more sane, the GM would not be using it as an excuse to convince you that a stick is a perfectly adequate defense against these cute, reality-warping beings.

Implore my entity friend to rid the resurrector of the scythe.
