[1] They spend the whole turn coughing and fail to do the task

((Wait just a bloody moment, Did I not tell the non-diseased guys to kill the wizards? Why do they have to rol to see if they can actually do the thing?))

((I may have forgotten to remove the coughing thing from the inventory for the turn, sorry, I'll fix that))

Cultists: Preserve Mad Matron's body.

[Sl4cker]

They gut themselves on the knives and forget which side of the gun the bullet comes out of. Maybe we should leave weapon handling to the professionals... well, the slightly more experienced, at least (-30 cultists).

((No regrets.))
This may be it. I might have lost, because these stupid, good for nothing humans keep on disappointing me, even in death.
35 guys: Take the weapons, and assassinate Carl's wizards like real men! find a good, discreet base.
Everybody: Go into hiding. Take everything we have, and erase our existence from the minds of the mortals..

now that it's here how long do turns typically take? in real life and in game.

[Aslandus]

Name: Rabe
        -Mindlock:1 (Enough to influence humans and recognise most illusions)

You don't get any influence points for having mindlock, just block other horrors form using their powers on you or your followers (well, at this level, just your chosen).

now that it's here how long do turns typically take? in real life and in game.

Depends on the players mostly (and sometimes I have days that I just slack off on the forum), but a day or two per turn is normal. As for in game, it's vague, but a few hours to a day seems like a reasonable guess. Just one action though, stuff takes time and you need to prioritize things, especially since your... kitten is very squishy, so a base and guards would probably be high on your list of priorities.

Got it, edited my post

EDIT: For the sake of speed(and impatience) my first (when the new game starts) turn is... RECRUIT (obviously) but also focus on trained professionals who won't kill themselves bi-weekly if left alone with heavy machinery.

You don't exactly have the privilege of choice for followers when you are an eldritch horror, but you can drive the new recruits insane if you want. You'll take what you get and you'll like it

Also, I'll be busy for the next two hours or so and if Nightmare hasn't posted an action we're moving to the next turn of the epilogue without her...

So in summary, we have a mass of clouds, an alcoholic, a cockroach gorilla crusher thingy, a mummy jackal cat thing, a magic crystal thing, and a kitten. Also possibly a carp. This will be fun.

[Evonix]

That was my brother. Please ignore his insane babbling.(the car-(I will not say the last letter of this fish) I mean)

FINE...  I mean how bad can it be? It's not like they're going to try to move a multi ton boulder by hand, or get confused about where a bullet comes out of a gun, I mean no species is THAT stupid...      I hope

[carp]

a magic crystal thing

A psychic/psionic crystal thing, really. Kind of scientific, even, though I don't know if that will come up much.

yes there is a species that stupid it's called humans may i refer you to the darwin awards and Arkansas (pronounced Ar-kin-saw)  where it is illegal to mispronounce the states name even though it isn't enforced at some point someone that that it would be a good idea to make that a law. and more importantly half the internet.

[FallacyofUrist]

Esivous happens to hate carp. They are a major nuisance in his home world.
