((whoops sorry))
Me: Recruit.
100 slightly healthier cultists: Research an alternative way to get me onto the planet without having to resort to the Cascade.
All other cultists except cancer victims: Get on with your lives. Make friends. Do something useful for society. Even if I never get onto the planet my sentiment can be transferred.
Cancer victims: Stick around, I still need to get the time to heal you properly.

[InsaneRationalist]

Koshu I will summon you in exchange for some favors and an alliance.

Query specifications regarding?

100 slightly healthier cultists: Research an alternative way to get me onto the planet without having to resort to the Cascade.

I can (I presume) share the sacrificial ritual if you cannot find anything better, though I agree that it, like Cascade, is less than satisfactory.

MORE CULTISSTZ! [3] You convince more people to join you, but it's a rather meager draw compared to what you could do (+50 cultists)
research: [4] They find a method of summoning that doesn't require an Orb of stalwart, it involves dragon blood, a block of gold, and a bunch of candles made from animal tallow. There's something else written here, apparently it causes weakness in anyone summoned through it. Oh well, it's not like you were planning to fight anything yourself... (learned gold summoning ritual (gold, dragonblood, tallow candles)
Move on: [1] They leave but don't share their knowledge of healing or joy with others, making their presence rather pointless. (-263 cultists, -50 assassin cultists, -15 lightly wounded cultists) ((You may have been a little quick on the draw for that one, this is the kind of thing you save for after you win or lose))

[Adragis]

"At least they won't have to die for my cause. Those idiots."
((Also I shoulda been more specific, I didn't want them to leave entirely, just do useful things in the meantime while research happened.))

[Aslandus]

I thought that was a strange command, but who am I to decide what you want

[Adragis]

"Yes, I definitely wanted that. Those irresponsible, ungrateful wretches."

Negotiating with yourself? An interesting plan, to be sure...

Help Tavern wench find the ritual
[6] Your cult gets a bunch of emails about what the ritual is, and it quickly becomes apparent that you can't do it now. It requires quicksilver (mercury) instead of dragon blood and it destroys the Orb of Stability when done. Also, it only summons most of you, so you'll come out injured. Your cultists get frustrated by all the emails and some quit the cult (-50 cultists, learned stability ritual {req mercury, orb of stability, causes injury})

[Sl4cker]

I have just heard the Tavern Wench has just researched a way to summon horrors even without the orbs.

I love you and hate you at the same time, and thus I shall now kill you.

50 random cultists: Get recruiting! We need enough manpower to beat up Tavern Wench and co. while still making that banishing ritual.
50 other random cultists: Spread rumors that whatever happened to make Tavern Wench so loved by humanity are lies. Lie yourself if you have to, just reduce her PR. We don't want everyone on our backs after all this.
Me (If PR is reduced enough no one is ACTUALLY gonna do anything if I attack her): I'm feeling a bit peckish. Drunken humans are a good meal, right?
Me (If else): Assist in the recruiting!
