ME:Recrute
25 Cultists(and any I recruited): Go through the paperwork to make K.I. a registered company and put up a K.I. website.
75 Cultists: use investor money to set up liquid metal recycling and shaping equipment in the
25 Cultists: Use stand to ask students if they want to help build a solar death ray.
75 Cultists and any students: try building the furnace again, refer them to the above videos and remind them that fresnel lenses are found in old TVs(www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7dvd959wfg)that may be found in the junkyard and that mirrors aren't that expensive.
50 Cultists: bring the orb of stalwart back.

I assume the stand is meant to be recruiting
Recruutng: [1] Shit, those aren't allies... (+55 inquisitors)
Making company: [3] They register the name and make a basic website, then go off to have lunch. They don't really get much done past that. (Kitten Industries made, basic website made)
Setting up stuff: [4] The recycling line and metal shaping are set up in the
Building: [2] "You're a kitten so I can understand if you're not that good with metallurgy, but I'm telling you man, a regular forge would be much better than this fancy sun-trapper. It might be possible but the sun is a really unreliable energy source, we'd only be able to use the forge at certain times of the day without having to constantly readjust it and without some excellent machinery it just wouldn't be viable. Not to mention we'd never be able to do it at night without artificial lights, and if we completely melted the metal we would be opening a whole can of worms with crystallizing and air bubbles when it cools that we could just avoid with simple heat. Really some of this scrap is pliable enough that we could probably bang out some rough tools and weapons in a day if we just had a few hammers, so the forge probably isn't necessary to begin with.

Don't get me wrong, we love you man, you want us to build a lollipop tower to the moon then we'll try our damnedest, but I just want to make sure you're aware that this light furnace would be hamstringing our production capacity more than just getting fuel or trying to make weapons now would." This argument ends up taking the entire day and nothing really gets done.
((This isn't an actual "scrapyard", it's a field with a bunch of scrap metal strewn around, you're not going to find any technology here, just cans, pipes and the like. I'm aware the sun is in fact hot enough, its a quintillion mile wide ball of fire for fuck's sake, but you wanted the "smart guy" cultists and you haven't been rolling well enough on the forge rolls to actually get what you want, so I have to come up with explanations for why. I know there's a reason solar forges haven't taken off in the real world, I just haven't bothered to actually look it up.))

Beg for mercy again.
Cultists: Fight the bad PR, and continue campaigning.

Beg for mercy: [3] They decide to let you off easier this turn but they're still resisting your incursion. (inquisitors ease up this turn)
politics: [6] they are rampant in their arguments and end up making you look worse overall (PR now bad)

Inquisitors: Recruit
[5] They manage to perform their speeches and gather a wealth of followers. Some of them may think it's just a political party, but they won't be in the dark for long... (+120 inquisitors)

TROG: 50 anarchist cultists, 50 lightly armed anarchist cultists, 30 inquisitors, access to Orb of Stalwart 2, partially gathered dragon blood, sleeps through next turn

TROG: Dream about Smashing things!
25 lightly armed Anarchist Cultists: Recruit More Cultists!
25 lightly armed Anarchist Cultists: Make more Spears!
50 Anarchist Cultists: Keep Gathering the Dragon Blood!

Dream: [2] Your sleep is like your love life as a freakish bug-gorilla: barren and dull
Recruit: [5] they do an excellent job of recruiting more people to join your side. Though with their limited numbers it is only a modest amount overall (+50 cultists)
Make weapons: [4] They make enough weapons for a few of the other cultists who are out gathering to be armed. (25 cultists lightly armed)
Gathering: [no roll] They finish gathering the plants and have enough dragon blood for the ritual. (gained dragon blood)

~Carp-al tunnel~
you also never said it wasn't inhabited until now so could you do a "mind retcon"

What? It's still a partial success so you're not turning into a beard-slaying carp regardless, is it really that important to you that there are people inside?

[Evonix]

I assume that my cultists have put the standard metal recycler in                                                                                                (lol)the bunker.
Me+100 cultists: Recrute.
100 cultists: Set up some molds for metal bars and various metal things to sell and some molds for weapon parts then get the recycler connected to them.
50 Cultists: Get summoning ingredients from Anthaju, for trade the 50 cultists now work for him(An alliance works 2 ways remeber.).
There, no huge list of actions.
also when is the end of turn summary?

[Sl4cker]

Heh heh... I may now be mortal, but I have more power in this world than my rivals... you know what that means? That means fun things are going to happen soon.

Me: Work with the carps inquisitors and active the purge! Death to the carp! Nevermind, I have bigger fish to fry, pun intended. Purge the Trogdor before he gets summoned!

But I want to eeat dwwwaaaarves 

[Evonix]

desert guy you seem to be asking me for summoning ingredients so can you clearly say that you are giving me them before the GM goes?
PS: I will give you good PR.

[Sl4cker]

I give you dragon blood, you give me 50 cultists and good PR.

[Evonix]

Can you transport the orb too?

[Sl4cker]

[Evonix]

As I recall I never managed to move it anywhere, I guess I can transport my cultists+dragons blood to it.

What I'm worried about is that I am very squishy, mostly I want the ingredients so I can be summoned on demand.

[Ardent Debater]

75 lightly armed anarchist Cultists: Train to be as Strong as The Ancestors!

[Evonix]

We should have done this earlier but if TROG fails being summoned then we need to get a banishing ritual.
