1000 cultists: get chalk
1000 cultists: get sand
Everyone else: improve PR

Chalk: [5] They grab some fine chalk, and discover a new ritual written on the back of the box! It doesn't seem that useful, but maybe if you need a lot of cheese... (acquired chalk, discovered ritual of summon cheese [req chalk])
Sand: [1] Oh dear, that's a lot of crabs... (25 cultists eaten by crabs)
PR: [5] You and your followers put on an amusing puppet show with some puppets that are definitely not actual people. (PR double up)

(now you know how I feel. I would rejoin, but I was eliminated for inactivity. if you want, you can seize my old faction and give it to banana. after all he was a close friend of speedo, who got lazy and fell asleep.)

((I'd offer to let you rejoin the game, but at this point it would probably be faster to just let this game end and sign up for the next))

Spoiler: Name: The Heart (Kudos if you get the reference.) (click to show/hide)

Abilities: Inversed summon (Summoning instead links the summoning point to the core, allowing access to the brave and foolish that would try to destroy it. However, power and presence are significantly reduced[-3] without a opened summoning point, making it a risk vs reward situation.)
Immobile (self explanatory, since it's.. well, a heart at the center of the world.)
Twisting Revelations (without strong mindlock or special trinkets[to be distributed by the GM at will], any who enter the domain to attack it must resist a roll each turn or become Afflicted. Afflicted may harm their allies, and if left untreated may turn into eldritch minions or madmen.)

Appearance: A heart, crossed with tentacles with a twisted head mounted on one side. The "Room" it occupies is also a part of it, and is quite fleshy.
Homeworld: The Center of the Earth. No seriously, it is the center of the earth.

Stats:
Presence: 3 (Knowledge of it's existence alone is enough to start transforming normal people into insane followers and fleshy horrors.)
Mindlock: 1 (it's a heart, so it doesn't possess much in the way brainpower. this is to it's advantage.)
Power: 2 (but ONLY in it's little "Room". It can't move, making it unlikely to use it's powers outside of it's domain, but then again it doesn't really need to.)
Physique: 1 (The flesh can be reshaped, remade! and it's own is no exception!)
Appeal: -2 (most of his cultists come from the fact that simply knowing about it slowly corrupts them into eldritch minions or Madmen. and most people don't like that. Thankfully, there are some trinkets that can slow, or possibly stop it's corruptive influence because this is not the first time It has appeared.)

Here my horror for next game:

Spoiler: the flockmind (click to show/hide)

Description: appears as a cloud of smoke or mist that takes on many birdlike shapes,is a combination of many bird souls
Home plane: the afterlife,as it is made up of the souls of many birds
Stats:
Presence:1
Mindlock:0
Power:2
Appeal:1
Physique:1

Abilities:
The great flock: nearby birds will surround the flockmind,acting as its body. The flockmind requires its flock to survive once summoned,and a low amount of birds will cause injury,which is healed by adding more birds
Call of the flock: birds from a wide area around the flockmind come to join it

Justice League: the new frontier? Maybe mixed with a bit of AM for the appearance...

You may have some trouble with -2 appeal since that means you're basically turning people into your inquisitors instead of cultists... And any cultists you somehow obtain will be turned into drooling monsters before getting anything done, including performing the summoning ritual...

Not sure if invincibility should be possible with 2 power, but maybe you can be a bit sturdier... Eh, I'll accept them both for now.

One, both of those are incorrect. Sorry, try again. I even left a quote in there to help you guess.

Two, hence the presence/power reduction early on while unsummoned. It allows them to stay human a bit longer, and at the same time, press the inquisitors to open the portal/find trinkets as well if only to prevent themselves from turning. Also keep in mind that most of his "Cultists" will either be men driven insane by the realization, or inquisitors turned afflicted while navigating it's lair.

If it's neither of those then I probably don't know it, they're the only ones I can think of.

Also, you can't really make your inquisitors do anything, they'd rather fight to the death or turn into monsters than help you, which is why it's harder to drag them into your service than normal people... Just knock off the two power points and we'll say the presence is your power since it only works on things in your chamber room...

(allow me to direct you to it then. Be warned, Spoilers ahead. Read the section titled "Hell is in the heart".)

[Whisperling]

Archon: Mind-control the inquisitors.
Necromancers: Resurrect random people/animals.
10 cultists, leader and disaster manager 1: Perform a song-and-dance routine to amuse everyone.
20 cultists, 50 beasts, 10 satyrs, and 1 centaur scout, led by leader and disaster manager 2: Loot stuff from everyone who went to sleep.
"Lumberjack": Go chop some trees.

EDIT: By the way, I'd be perfectly fine if you declared this game a tie and moved onto the next. It seems a little unfair to the next people to hold things up like this, and my general untimeliness hasn't exactly helped.

((Ironically, the game would've ended in about 3 hours if you'd left the actions unposted... well, assuming I actually updated on time this week. I'm not sure if there could be a draw since you haven't been summoned yet, but I'd need DAPARROT's consent to call it.))

Mind control: [5] Due to the small brains of the beasties, they offer no resistance to your influence. (100 beast inquisitors converted)

Loot: [4] They drag every unique item the can find in the ruins of other people's bases back. Not much of it left. (acquired Stagnant orb, concrete, rebar)
Chop trees: [2] But Lumberjacks don't chop trees, they hang around in bars while wearing women's clothing!

Inquisitors: be rebellious
[irrelevant] They are too complacent to resist.
