Water Potatoes
Easy Peasy 15+2 Farming/5 Success
You leave to get some water . When you come back the potatoes seem to have grown. You squint at them suspiciously, yes they have definitely grown. You pour the water on the potatoes. Is this a good omen?

"Witness the power of GRISHA5!"
Above Average 20/13 Overshoot
You pick up one of the guests. Mike, the guy you kidnapped on his way to work at Macdonalds, you think. You then slam him into the into the concrete ground. There is a sickening crunch and he lies still. It appears that he's quite dead.

"Witness the power of GRISHA5!"
N-n-n-n-NO! I don't even know what you're trying to do, but don't hurt them! Do it to a crate or something!
"Yo Sullivan! I could use some diplomatic help on this mission to extort the unenlightened."
Hmm... Attempt to gain funding from a university or local governmental organization.
I'll be honest, Justin, I doubt we'll get funding for a cult. We can brainstorm later, but for now...
Try to calm down the poor honored guests and talk with them about the Will of Grisha. Apologize for their rough treatment and cut their bindings as a show of good faith.
Above Average 1/13 Epic Fail
You try to calm down the other prisoner as he watches his fellow prisoner get murdered. He seems to calm down and relax. Then you cut his bindings and explain the to him about the Will if Grisha. He seems to be paying attention but as you get into your stride, he bolts. He dashes out a broken window before you have a chance. Is he really that fast?

"Witness the power of GRISHA5!"
No, bad NAV! We are a cult of subtlety, wait till we get you demonic powers, THEN powerbomb people.
Study up on how to obtain a few occult powers of our lord Grisha5.
Above Average 5/13 Failure
When you go online at the library, incidentally the one Justin uses too, you find several sites on the occult. Many involve myth, fims and other nonsense. You find nothing of interest.
Go to the prisoners, and read aloud from my ancient tome of Grisha5
What prisoners?
"That's why we're lying."
I don't know what that pile over there is all about, but if you handle the paperwork, I'll help with the peoplework.
"The deal is struck."
Begin scouting for potential funding.
Easy 6/7 Failure
You begin by searching for universities or labs present in the city in the newspapers. But this tries the patience of the newsagents who's papers you peruse but do not buy. Then you go to a library and use a computer there. Due to your inexperience with Google, you don't locate anything in the city either.
