”bless” random prophet Jack the prophet with “the cheesefall”; at random intervals a complete wheel of cheese will manifest roughly 10 feet above the chosen prophets and land on their head

Please don’t.



Jack shoots a glare at Zultan, then gathers his flock.
Off to the church, to persuade those remaining there of our greatness and virtue, and why the way of these so-called “chaos” gods truly is the best for all - freedom and equality for everyone, working for the best of themselves and others, none pushing down on others, rather raising ourselves together!
Of course, make use of my new sight - use their desires, and show them what they could be, and prove to them that our way can bring them to their greatest potential!

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

It wasn’t a question. It was a request.

First sacrifice, nothing, not a word. No, not enough perhaps. More must be offered, maybe in a different way.

Nameless, still. No title other than prophet. If I cannot gain favor of chaos by sacrifices of the foolish, then lets find some... people to convince.



Maybe this will serve as a greater sacrifice.

Go to the keep and demand everyone there to bow before my god, then laser some furniture to show I'm serious about the face melting, and if they don't bow down they get their faces lasered off.

Meld 20 sacrificed people  with power of chaos into magnificent chariot, mouths of sacrificed people constantly yell to bow before Rahx the voice of chaos, scream sanity shattering truths, utter curse spells at unfaithful or spit rainbow flames

Gift it to Rahx

Grant the largest prophet’s followers the ability to be one with nature.  As for the smallest prophet’s followers, make nature one with them.

By the way, I’d like to check: how will our abilities actually work? Like, does being able to see how to manipulate people give me a bonus to such rolls? Is it auto-4s or something? Are they just more action possibilities? Etc.

It's more increasing the effect of your rolls, so successes are greater and failures are more mitigated. It also increases your action possibilites.

Let the First Boon of Imic be presented to the Prophet who’s roll is lowest this turn, or if it’s a tie, let the boon go to the Prophet who goes last. The boon shall do the following: Whoever has it shall become innately skilled at diplomacy, at calming the furious, at placating the greedy, reasoning with the naysayer, and working your way out of trouble.

Damnit, I both want this because it fits what I’m trying to do and don’t want it because I don’t want to roll poorly

Except I’m also worried that the other prophets will completely ignore it if they have it

EDIT: By the way, we’ve got a Discord.

Hrmm, if I understand this right...

To whichever prophet is free-thinking enough to  disclaim the puerile and orderly task they are "supposed" to be doing and instead follows their own whims, grant the gift of Mutally Assured Destruction, such that when they perish their body will be converted into antimatter and shatter the planet.

If this isn't allowed than you are a disgusting agent of order~

1. I rather enjoy living.
2. I believe that you can see at the end of 8 bit theater that a state of pure entropy, while technically “chaotic”, is functionally equivalent to a state of pure order, and you would be bringing us rather closer to universal entropy.
3. Destroying the entire planet also ends millions or even billions of lives, each of which could have completely derailed the timeline (or could give rise to other lives which could do the same), in exchange for a relatively small number of planet pieces flying through space in a purely mathematically-predictable manner.

The planet won't get destroyed if everyone makes sure the target of the blessing doesn't die!
And why should I plan that far ahead.
