Me: Tell death that to my knowledge they were summoned by ritual and not mass destruction, hope it aids in the investigation.Also can you 4 leave if you find nothing?
Moon cultists: summon koshu.(can I ask him to do stuff then you deside if he agrees?
K.I.:I've been ordering you around alot, go do your own thing.
50 trained armoured cultists:Guard
Rest:Get food.
Talk him down: [4] You manage to convince Death that there is no actual apocalypse, despite what the mad cod says. Unfortunately, he says the only way they can leave is either after the planet is ruined, or in a series of coffins. (Death delayed [2] more turns)
((Sure, I guess I'll make a roll for asking him and a roll for him doing things))
Summon: [6] They also summon a glorious horror by the name of Goshu! Wait, oops... (Goshu summoned, Koshu summoned)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
KI: [1] They decide to sell their new Death ray to death. He is mildly pleased. (Death now has +1 power for his death ability)
Gourd: [2] They cower in the base and offer no protection to the people inside.
Fud: [3] They gather some wild plants. REmarkably, they manage to find enough for all the hungry mouths of the cult, even those backstabbers in KI selling out to the guys trying to kill everyone. (Gain [3] turns of food)[B/]

((How often do you estimate I'll need to post in order to play in game 4?))
((About once a week, if this game is anything to go by.))
I have food, also you said that War was beside some nukes and leering at them.

Yes, and CARP's cultists can see them, your cultists have no idea they exist. Must've missed putting the food in the inventory for some reason, I'll give you your guys back, but those nukes are called "unobtainable" for a reason.

Ok.

Maybe the nukes we found were meant to go in the MIRV and were just forgotten about:
"Gotta clean out the basement, lesse what we got here... Betamax tapes, yearbook, power tool that I will definitely use one day, thermonuclear warheads, bulk shipment of rubber ducks, comics..."

You can, but just like your dragoncorn they can't help you because they are in another dimension alongside you instead of with your cultists where shit's going down. Does that change anything?

ME:RECROOT(wait can i recroot things in other dimensions if so recroot ogres and trolls and such)
cultists: get in teh subs

Recruit: [6] You make yourself known to the various monsters in the area by flopping around in the searing heat. Many of them think you look delicious. (5 trolls recruited in Myth, 5 hungry troll inquisitors in land of Myth, inquisitors activated)
All aboard: [2] They feel claustrophobic and refuse to enter.

Oven: continue baking
[5] Your skin starts to turn golden brown as the oils are seared in. The smell makes everyone nearby hungry, and you can feel dehydration causing you to lose consciousness. (now heavily wounded)
Starvation: [2] Luckily, your cultists manage to survive off the various edibles laying around that you've stockpiled. It's not quite as filling as they would normally want, but at least nobody's dropping dead. (lose sandwiches)

Death: Do nothing
[no roll] He keeps chatting with the ghost kitten for the turn. (-1 turn of distraction)
War: Attack Rosabel
[5] He charges by on his horse, leaping over the defenses surrounding Rosabel and cleanly slices one of her arms off. Golden ichor flows from the wound, but the bleeding looks pretty bad. (Rosabel mortally wounded)
Pestilence: turn some of those fish-worshippers into zombies
[3] He manages to get a few to get plagued, but they don't go full zombie this turn. (30 CARP cultists plagued)
Famine: continue being dead
[irrelevant] His horse nudges his corpse in a pathetic attempt to awaken its master, but nothing happens

Rosabel: Rest, recuperate.
Surgeon cultists: Try and fix Rosabel's wounds using your surgical tools.
Mad Cultists: Reserve as much of the ichor as possible. This stuff can resurrect the dead, you know.
All other cultists bar 100: Prepare to give War a taste of his own medicine.
100 cultists: Try to administer zombie vaccine to all.
Rosabel's healing aura does stuff.

100 cultists: Try to administer zombie vaccine to all.
Rosabel's healing aura does stuff.
Rest: [1] You toss and turn trying to staunch the bleeding, but only put yourself in excruciating pain. You feel your vision fading. (Rosabel is going...)
Operate: [2] They are unable to stitch up the wound, it continues to bleed and they stop trying after your screams of pain start to break their eardrums.
Save the juice: [6] They scrape the ichor off the floor and catch it in various containers they find lying around, but there's so much that they start giving it away by the cup. They end up giving away the healing chalice by mistake. (lose healing chalice, gain [5] servings of healing blood)
Train? [5] They practice with their weapons and fighting skills until they are confident they could beat the embodiment of war in a fight. (now well trained)
Vaccinate: [5] They successfully inoculate the entire cult, as well as many of the civilians in the area with anti-zombification, so now they only have to die once! (Cultists now immune to zombification, nearby civilians also immune)
Aura: [6] In the throes of your death you overcharge your aura. It bounces off the bodies of your followers and restores some of your vigor, just in the nick of time. Unfortunately, your surgeons suffer debilitating deformities as they grow fingers from their fingers, eyes within their eyes, and their skin rapidly builds up making them look grotesque. Your own body is not exempt either, the pain of regenerating is even worse than the pain of receiving the wound in the first place and your mouth seals up just when you really want to scream. (Now heavily injured, mouth sealed, surgeons lose surgery ability and become monstrous)

Inquisitors: Attack Rosabel because she still doesn't have any guards and she's weak!
[5] Dammit, those defenses are useless! The inquisitors slip right past your cultists and put a few boot marks on your head just after you start to recover. Your cultists currently training drive them off with a few shots from their weapons, but your frail bones were crushed and you lose consciousness before anyone else manages to get to you. (Rosabel is DEAD, 17 inquisitors get shot escaping) ((What are the odds of every attack directly against you being a 5, and none of your recovery attempts working? Maybe I should rethink this death mechanic, the mortally wounded thing doesn't seem to let anyone survive...))

Starvation: [no roll] They eat a turn worth of food. It is dry and tasteless, but nobody has to go hungry.
