Perhaps I was unclear before, you can't change your stats with abilities that results in you having more than 5 stat points. I've altered it on the waitlist to say that you can absorb abilities instead but if that doesn't suit you then change your horror

Recruit.
A shocking maneuver that nobody saw coming.
[4] You convince more poor saps to join you while the weather is cool. (+100 cultists)
Gonna let you do this one because I'm a nice guy:
Recruited cultists: perform ze summoningz!
[3] They manage to get everything in order, but because of their rush from recruitment to performance the ritual goes a little loopy and your leave a few fingers behind. (summoned, lightly injured)

Inquisitors: kill the cultists
[1] Well... that could've gone better... (-35 inquisitors, -30 lightly armed inquisitors)
recognizable inquisitors: point out that you are working AGAINST a cult, not FOR a cult
[5] They convince the public that they are perfectly trustworthy. Damn, they must have some good lawyers. (now in high places again)
((wait, I have a psi-net account?  i mean are there masses of carp shaped like antennae to amplify my psikik scignaltm?))
Every horror has a psi-net account. It's required by the Eldritch council as per ordinance 243 and is the reason you can contact your cultists despite not having telepathy... Yep, that's the explanation I'm going with now.

Me: activate my secret spam account on psi-net(dead man's switch) and send it to attack Rabe!
130 basic cultists: do research to find a ritual that can be used to resurrect horrors(it should be possible, I resurrected one horror by hitting him with lightning).
20 wealthy cultists: fund the research.
4 cultists in high places: do speeches to boost my cultist's morale!
4 cultists in high places: boost my PR.
100 trained cultists, 3 veterans: guard the researchers.
10 infiltrator cultists: set time bombs on the training center.
Mega Puff Puff: blast KONG with hallucinogens and kite(lead) him to Rabe's base!

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Trolling Rabe: [2] You quickly realize that you never made the spam account, it was on your to-do list right after bringing rain but you never got around to it.
research: [irrelevant] Like so many generations of mortals, you have found that reversing death is impossible. If there was some specimen of undeadness that you could study, perhaps you could find a way, but certainly no way to reform a gaseous form such as your own, so long after your grave's gone cold.
Boost morale: [2] They had something else scheduled today and couldn't make it.
PR: [6] They give a glorious speech about how amazing you are. Due to your obscenely unpopular position, they end up being kicked out of office, but they do manage to stop people from attacking your cult in broad daylight (very bad PR, cultists now merely recognizable)
guard: [4] They take up guard positions and are ready for the fight (guarding).
set bombs: [2] They don't have bombs and area of Rabe's base with explosives is being watched. They choose to keep their anonymity instead of going for the glorious downfall.

puff puff, operation crazy KONG: [6] Puff puff makes KONG go crazy, but forgot the latter part of the orders and led him back to your cult instead (KONG attacking you)

KONG: Crush tiny peanuts!
[2] They are too many! Must crush faster! *KONG is bashing the ground all around him, leaving large cracks but not hurting anyone*

Low morale: make cultists quit
[2] Nobody leaves today, but it doesn't look like people are feeling any more confident about tomorrow.

End of Turn ???.

-Cultists: 165 cultists, 180 heavily armed cultists, 20 heavily armed cultists guarding
-Items: has a few spaceship components, has extra spikes, watch mirrors set up
-Inquisitors: 80 armed inquisitors, 75 armed inquisitors (guarding) 212 inquisitors, have weak siege engines set up, inquisitors activated

Turn ??@:
200 heavily armed cultists: you know what? Just go shoot the 212 inquisitors and blow up their siege engines.
Hey, we are a legitimate aerospace company, right? We should not have to have more armed guards than regular employees.
15 cultists: get the police to arrest the armed inquisitors. (Hopefully our excellent PR will help here.)
Koshu and 150 cultists: recruit.
