((What rain spell? I forgot to record it if you got one))
it's on page 32.
A link would be more helpful, I don't know if we have the same posts-per-page


100 cultist: get in the subs and go into the ocean.
collect more submarine parts.

((i wondr where my cult is maybe sitting around in little clearings of dense tijaunian bushes by the sea? also if i had say this as my turn "ME: revive tavern wench with a strategy... (i need to get over my antiholisim i drink too much coffee because i think it cancels the effects of alchohol contamination))" and rolled a 5 would you come up with some explanation of how i revived her or woud you just say i can't do that))
((I would say you can't do that because that's too much leeway. I was willing to give alternate summoning rituals since it made the game more interesting to give alternate objectives to the players and the orbs of stalwart got destroyed before most of the horrors got summoned but we have to end this game at some point. If I let you guys start raising each other from the dead we'll never move on.))
Escape to the sea!: [3] They launch the submarines but forgot to fuel them up, so they're just floating in the shallow bay. (Submarines acting as boats)
MORE SUBMARINES!: [6] They go into such a fervor over the submarine parts that they carve each other's bones and flesh into submersible parts. It is actually pretty gruesome, you may want to look away. On the bright side, there's plenty of parts to carry the rest of your cult into the sea... (Organic submarine parts obtained, -25 cultists)

ME:Recroot
100 cultists: assemble some organic submarines with the organic submarine parts
25 cultist: start up the subs in the bay


Lunar orb lolz: [4] You make a single carp in the center of a Lunar Orb of Stalwart. The carp seems to be frozen in place due to still being encased in crystal. (Lunar Orb of Stalwart has a carp in it)
Have we (and/or just CARP) located the Lunar Orb of Stalwart?
good point have i located the lunar orb of stalwart because i put a carp in it.

No, you just guessed really well. You would still have to get your cultists to the moon before one of the other horrors gives your inquisitors the secrets to purging your influence...

Stop the plauge: [4] They head for the chapel and pop the heads off a bunch of zombies to keep them from pursuing fleeing civilians and bringing another horde later. They are careful not to get infected themselves. (-75 zombies,-25 wounded zombies)
Dragonblood: [4] They find more dragon lilies and distill the dragonblood post haste. (dragonblood acquired)
PR: [4] They finally convince people to start doing favors for you. Righteous monolith, these people are hard to impress! (now loved by humanity)
Recruit: [6] You and your peons get more peons, though it appears your inquisition slipped an extra message onto the fliers you're handing out. You can feel otherworldly forces starting to breathe down your stony neck with this many followers. (+575 cultists, +530 inquisitors)

Half of Inquisitors: operate siege equipment
[5] Their shots are dead on and they quickly cull the crowded herd of cultists. Your followers manage to scatter after a few shots, but the casualties are high. (-500 cultists)
Half of inquisitors: steal dragonblood
[5] They slip in and take all the dragonblood. They water it down and add some conventional pesticides making potent poison instead of just dumping it out. (100 inquisitors now assassins, lose dragonblood)
Yay! Also, dammit!
The cultist limit is 3000, right?

Yes, the warning was because you're getting close... well, were getting close until you lost 500 cultists to mortar fire...

here's a link to the rain spell.

Ah, so it is... I'll edit the inventory to show it shortly.

Me and 100 cultists: retreat to the hidden bunker then heal me.
Robot: kill inquisitors, if you fail light the inquisitor base on fire on your way out.
20 cultists: man turrets, keep an eye out for any inquisitors trying to use an ignite mortals spell, actually before you go to the turrets see if the inquisitors left any runes and materials around the base then remove them if they did.
K.I.:Move to aerospace and get ready to go to the lunar orb of stalwart, it's just too risky to carry on in weapons development with people having such a low opinion of us.
80 cultists and 10 recognisable cultists: Improve PR.
100 cultists: recrute.

And, because reality does not like me, I am probably not going to have internet access for the next week or more (possibly multiple months). So I am just going to quit now, rather than annoying everyone with missed (and thus delayed) turns.

Turn Dammit, I was actually doing good too:
all cultists, satellite, and all my rituals: go join Rosabel; she is probably the most likely to actually keep you alive.
((Note to Adragis029: beware of cultist limit. You are likely less than 500 people away from it now.))
Koshu: sulk.

Turn Henceforth:
Koshu: if summoned, go hide somewhere in the Kuiper belt.

Hide!: [2] They are panicking over your bleeding, battered body and can't help. They don't even pick you up and carry you to the bunker because they're flipping out too hard.
Murder!: [5] It slaughters all the inquisitors and burns their mansion to the ground. Then it puts on some giant sunglasses and walks away from the fire in true tough guy fashion. (-199 inquisitors, inquisitor base destroyed)
Guard: [1] They run for the hills instead of trying to protect you. (-20 cultists)
PR: [5] For what it's worth, they manage to convince people you're not actually the new antichrist. (Now very bad PR)
Recruit: [5] They find more people down on their luck and willing to join you. (+100 cultists)

KI: [1] They fail to build a spaceship and instead sell a bunch of weapons to all your enemies. Backstabbing jerks! (everyone else's normal cultists now armed)

Koshu is much closer after the recent cullings among Rabe's crew, but if he's giving all his stuff to Rosabel she may well the problem...

[1] They try to tell them that you're not associated with that jackass who kept throwing lightning everywhere but they won't listen. They accidentally let word get out of where they're hiding to your inquisitors. (inquisitors activated)

And, because reality does not like me, I am probably not going to have internet access for the next week or more (possibly multiple months). So I am just going to quit now, rather than annoying everyone with missed (and thus delayed) turns.

Koshu: sulk.

Turn Henceforth:
Koshu: if summoned, go hide somewhere in the Kuiper belt.

Move out: [1] Half of them don't make it past the siege, but with few options they press on regardless. The records of some of the rituals are destroyed in the fighting. (985 armed cultists and 43 heavily armed cultists transferred to Rosabel, -985 armed cultists, -42 heavily armed cultists, ignite mortal ritual and sacrificial summoning ritual transferred to Rosabel, rain of fire ritual lost) ((looks like that's not a problem now))
Sulk: [1] You are unable to sulk and give yourself a headache trying. (headache acquired)

Inquisitors: pursue the cultists
[6] They follow the cultists closely and join with the inquisitors of Rosabel. They must leave behind their weapons and siege equipment to maintain pace, and some get left behind (1212 inquisitors and 80 trained inquisitors transferred to Rosabel, -250 inquisitors, inquisitors lose weapons)

Rave of recruiting: [2] They had the neon lights set up and everything but nobody showed up.
Sommelier power: [2] They can't find any wine professionals in the area. Damn, looks like it's just another boring broadcast this turn.

Inquisitors: set up a rival show called "Booze: the magic poison"
[3] Well, they get the air time but they quickly run out of things to talk about and their first broadcast never really picks up in viewer count. ("Booze the magic poison" show created)
