High-Five the passing something, because I am a ghost at this point.

the passing something blinks

It has never encountered a ghost that was unafraid of being eaten! its interest in the situation rises!

"Calllla mee urgl??!"

-the majority of the thing's name is incomprehensible to you. 

Run into town, waving bloody arm in the air.

You are panicking. You are panicking and waving a bloody arm and two sticks into the air!

The shopkeepers all pass out in fear, leaving their stores open to you to loot from at your leisure!

Equip fedora.

You nab a fedora from the stores, but in your panic, you toss it away.




There is now a town nearby.  There are stores in the town, which you can loot at your leisure. Traveling to and from the town is a free action.  There are passed out shopkeepers.

You have a crude pentagram of sticks. Blood is smeared on the sticks.  2 sticks are missing.

You have 2 sticks.

You have vague theoretical knowledge about necromancy. You feel that more knowledge will be needed to complete the ritual.

Your shirtsleeve is bloody and charred.

Your shirt is bloody.

You are bleeding from one arm.

You are panicking.

A passing entity named urgl??! has paused nearby, and is intrigued by the situation.

Randomly hug the "Urgl" creature!

You hug a random appendage.

It is bewildered by your behavior.

"would you like me to hasten your resurrection in the short run, or give out knowledge which will aid in the long run?"

I AM POKE, AND I SHALL CONQUER THE WORLD WITH MY SCYTHERS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION

You loot a scythe from one of the shops.

You feel that using a scythe in a ritual could either help or hinder.  without more knowledge, you can't be sure which.

Burn down shops.

You are panicking!

In your panic, you fail to consider trying to light the shops on fire with something other than sticks.

-You fear that some of this knowledge is forever beyond your comprehension, but you feel quite sure that the rest may be comprehended through mundane methods of decryption.

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 ressurect into.

[Elephant Parade]

Sacrifice arm to Uhluhtc.

[Coolrune206]

Hug the being, and ask if it has to leave. If not, offer to verse it in a quick, easy game for more help. Rock paper scissors, tic tac toe, or other similar games. If it leaves, wallow in sadness.
