Try and cure the cultists with cancer again.
200 cultists: Find sufficient amounts of gold for the ritual. Do not steal anything. If it's someone else's, we'll have to buy it later.
Everyone else: Do assorted good deeds. Make some people happy.

[FallacyofUrist]

Oh wait.
350 cultists: Assault Ajanthu!
100 trained cultists: Protect me from harm.
Journalists: boost my PR!

What status sheet? The inventory changes between turns not within turns...

Try and cure the cultists with cancer again.
200 cultists: Find sufficient amounts of gold for the ritual. Do not steal anything. If it's someone else's, we'll have to buy it later.
Everyone else: Do assorted good deeds. Make some people happy.

CURE: [4] You finally use your powers to cure the tumors in your peons' bodies. Good thing too, they were starting to look a little weak from the affliction. (cancer cultists cured)
GOLD: [5] They find  a small block of gold sitting on their doorstep. What a strange coincidence. It should be plenty for the ritual. (gained gold block)
PR: [2] They decide to take a vacation and spend time with their families instead.

[Adragis]

((That is the most heartwarming result for a roll of 2 I have ever seen.))

[carp]

the "carp life" motto gave me an idea
Me: recruit fisherman promise lake and rivers teaming with carp on condition they don't eat me
Any recruited cultists: OBTAIN PUFF-PUFF PLUSH™

Turn 16 actions:

80 empowered cultists: continue research (edit: focusing on rituals)
100 cultists heavily armed: guard base
100 cultists heavily armed: fortify base
Koshu and 152 cultists: recruit

[Aslandus]

Turn 16 actions:

80 empowered cultists: continue research (edit: focusing on rituals)
100 cultists heavily armed: guard base
100 cultists heavily armed: fortify base
Koshu and 152 cultists: recruit

research: [5] They find two rituals, one that drops a rain of fire on someone, at the low low price of all your dragon blood and some thermite, and one that summons oranges that only requires you to draw a ritual circle of chalk. Apparently not all rituals are created equal. (learned ritual of rain of fire {consumes dragon blood and thermite}, learned summon oranges {req chalk})
guard: [4] They take up patrols and watch for trouble. (100 heavily armed cultists guarding)
fortify: [1] They fuck up the fortification so badly that all cultists now have to roll to dodge spikes every time they leave the base. (deadly reverse spike traps added)
recruit: [6] Apparently handing out haterade at the recruitment drive was a bad idea. You still convince some poor souls to help you out though (+227 cultists, +182 inquisitors, Koshu no longer guarding)

((That's everyone I think, I'll end the turn in a few hours))

Whoops, forgot these guys:
Inquisitors: set traps around Koshu's base
[4] They dig out some pitfall traps and deadfall traps outside your guards' patrols. Seems going outside is going to be a dangerous activity now. (outside of base booby trapped)

You missed my new cultists. And that Koshu is no longer guarding. And my new inquisitors, though I would not object if those disappeared for no in-character reason.
And probably some other things, actually, I am not sure.

Also, summoning oranges is actually a quite useful ritual, especially if all it requires is chalk, since it provides food and drink (orange juice).

Whoops, must've missed that part of the turn on accident. Fixed now.

Wash: [irrelevant] What rain? ((The irony is, this would've been fine if you hadn't specified that it was in Unescargot's nonexistent rain))
Get dragon blood: [2] They bumble around for a few hours and find nothing.
Copy and send book: [3] They send the book off the the university with no instructions and without making any copies. They take the rest of the day off. Nice one, guys. (book of power swap ritual sent to Miskatonic University)
FORGE: [5] They make weapons of war and arm themselves. Elbow grease is not a real resource, but they'll say they used some if it makes you feel better. (500 cultists heavily armed)
PR: [5] They do an excellent job boosting your reputation, though first they get you out of the hole (PR now good)
REKRUUT: [5] You and your merry band of men bring many more to the party. You get the feeling if you get to 3000 cultists something bad will happen. Such as spontaneous conflagration. (+1000 cultists)
chlk: [3] They buy some chalk, the colorful stuff they use at playgrounds. Might work for some rituals, but if you're planning anything heavy you'd better get some of the regular stuff (colorful chalk acquired).

Hallucinogen: spread
[4] It gets all over the base, several more cultists get covered in the powder (100 more cultists hallucinating, 30 guards hallucinating)

[Sl4cker]

Well, that went better than expected.

Now, what was that again about killing me?

Me: Transform 50 of my guys into Egyptian reapers!
Bringers of death x30: Initiate Happy Fun Fun Murder Time Rebooted! On Unescargot, of course.
Twenty Creeper Reapers: Join guys in guarding me!
5: Uhm.. recruit, I suppose.

Twenty Creeper Reapers: Join guys in guarding me!
5: Uhm.. recruit, I suppose.

Reapers: [6] You transform them into accursed husks delivering people from this mortal plane. Naturally, some of them think you've overstayed your welcome in the world of the living (30 cultists now reapers, 20 cultists now inquisitorial reapers)
Happy fun murder time (with 20 reapers): [3] Not knowing where Unescargot is, they fly into battle on the wings of death (metaphorical flight) and tear apart several of Unescargot's cultists before being driven away (Unescargot loses 40 cultists, -10 reapers) ((Scary as they are, these guys are basically lightly armed cultists since nobody else uses soul-targeting abilities))
guard: [1] They decide to pay a visit to the nearest cemetery to help the lost souls find their way home instead. Some of them don't come back. (-5 reapers)
recruut: [5] They do a phenomenal job of finding more people, especially given how few of them there are (+50 cultists).

Inquisitors: attack Anthaju
[5] They crush your bones and anchor your soul to the underworld. You can feel yourself fading from the world as both your physical body fails and your soul is dragged away (mortally wounded).

((Seems the killing is being done just fine without him))
