Recruit with enthusiasm!

Investigate the private owner of the tome. Where does he live, proximity to police, security, etc.


I didn't expect it to be easy, don't worry. Magic is something which really strengthens our side, so that is an issue if it is easy to get.

[Comrade Shamrock]

"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.

Wake up. Recruit some fellow cultists and raid the escapees location

Average 17/10 Success

You gather three of the cultists and head out to your targets location. You arrive at your location. You all swarm up the staircase towards his friends apartment. As you approach the door you hear voices coming from inside.

''....are madmen. They killed him.''
''There are no cults. Look, you can stay here until you came down.''
''I have to tell the cops.''
''Fine, we'll go tomorrow. Hopefully sleep will make you see sense.''
''Can I hang onto the shotgun?''
''Look, you're off your rocker I ain't letting you handle a gun. Get to sleep.''

Recruit with enthusiasm!

Above Average 20+2/13 Overshoot

You go out and preach in the streets. You attract a large crowd. Several seem to eating up your words and eager to embrace Grisha.

''Excuse me, why are you preaching this heathen nonsense?''

A priest has appeared out of the crowd. He turns to the crowd.

''Do not be swayed by this posturing fool! He preaches nonsense and lies. Do not trust his false god''

The crowd divides between you, the priest and a large clump of those undecided. You both seem to have roughly equal numbers with the priests group slightly outnumbering you. Those undecided between you and the priest have the largest group.

Investigate the private owner of the tome. Where does he live, proximity to police, security, etc.

Above Average 15/13 Success

You go to the private collectors mansion on the edge of the city about 5 minutes from the nearest police station. It has a surrounding perimeter wall at least 4 metres tall. There seems to be broken glass scattered along the top of the wall. There also appears to be several guards walking around the house and two at the gate with several CCTV cameras dotted around. There are probably more security measures located inside the house itself.

Write up a proposal to Creative Energy about my theory of a unique kind of radiation generated by certain people altering other experiments I have done and my idea to isolate it and utilize it.

Knock on the door. As soon as it opens, bum rush the guy and run for the shotgun. Have my fellow cultists beat up the guys, but not kill then. Take everyone back to HQ

Realize the profit that can be made in growing stuff. Grab a few cultists and make a much larger farm and plant a variety of root vegetables.

"God? Grisha is no mere god. Grisha is a fundamental force of the universe! Grisha is a will, a desire made manifest in us! Grisha does not ask anything of you but loyalty and trust. The Will does not ask you to reserve yourself for a chance at a  better life hereafter, it offers the chance for a better life now! All it asks for this chance is a chance from you. Let Grisha into your heart. I, too, was lost. I tried to end it. As I felt this life slipping away, something called to me. Behold the Will of Grisha, as I did! Feel its flow, let it into your soul!

Write up a proposal to Creative Energy about my theory of a unique kind of radiation generated by certain people altering other experiments I have done and my idea to isolate it and utilize it.

Above Average 11/13 Failure

You prepare several drafts of the proposal to Creative Energy. But none of them seem quite right and you throw them away.

Realize the profit that can be made in growing stuff. Grab a few cultists and make a much larger farm and plant a variety of root vegetables.

Easy 19+1 Farm/7

You gather the two cultists that have not gone with Bernardo Hoagie and you give them a plot in which to grow. They seem to take to it very quickly. +1 Potato plot -10$

Knock on the door. As soon as it opens, bum rush the guy and run for the shotgun. Have my fellow cultists beat up the guys, but not kill then. Take everyone back to HQ

Above Average 19/13

You knock on the door. The door opens a crack as the chain prevents it from opening fully but it can't withstand the weight of a cultist jumping on the door. The chain snaps and you swarm the room. Two of the cultists secure the man who answered. The other cultist secures the escapee sitting on the couch, recoiling in horror. You, now toting a shotgun threaten the prisoners and bring them through the back alleys back to the warehouse. +2 prisoners, +1 Shotgun

Above Average 17+2/13 Success

You fiery sermon draws over most of both crowds and leaves the priest twisting his coat. You're followers seem to be a little more zealous.

''Don't be drawn in by this mans lies. He will lead you to damnation and ruin. You must see the light and save yourselves!''

A few faces among your crowd look hesitant and seem to be reconsidering their choice.

This is not going to be easy, not without more people, at least.

Return to base, learn to be sneakier

Hard 10/16 Failure

You return back to the warehouse. You have no one to improve your sneakiness skills on as all the cultists have been drawn away by other tasks. You have no materials with which to produce tools to help you be sneaky. You also have no guides on how to help improve.
