Cult: Return to recruiting, subtley
Demon: Tie a cloth around your eyes. Assume human form and ride into town on your new bear. Use the name "The Blind Bard". Sing songs that seem happy on the surface but twist peoples minds subliminally. Get a room at the Inn.
Stairway to Heaven!

I mean: this.

This. With one i.

We're an insidious demon, not a circus performer. You want to ride around on a giant bear playing the lute while trying to expand a secret cult?

I agree with our cult continuing subtle recruitment, but I say we hunt down and devour one of the teacher's more useless students. Their first thought will be that his ghost returned, that he had an accomplice, or even that they didn't realize he was missing until now and his parents just forgot about him, rather than that maybe they hanged the wrong guy or that there's an unrelated killer on the loose.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

PROFANITY WARNING: Skip the below if you are offended by swearing, sex, drugs and Rock and Roll.

Spoiler: Decision Weight (click to show/hide)

Cult Action: Subtle Recruitment
Demonic Action: Epic Lute Solo

Demon Action

YES.  FUCK YES.  HELL FUCKING YES.  You ride into town on that blind beast of yours and shred some chords that are serious biznasty.  Shit flies so far off the handle it enters orbit, but this shit's so cool it doesn't burn up on re-entry.  This shit is ice cold.  This shit's so cold it makes a living selling popsicles to little kids, then murders their parents before their eyes with those same popsicles - that's how cold this shit is.  This cold shit could make a yeti shiver.  That yeti wouldn't shiver, though, because it would be so busy headbanging to the UNSPEAKABLE NOISE you are pounding out of that lute.  The crowd goes wild, it goes crazy, it goes bat-shit insane to your riffs!  Villagers just strip off and start making out everywhere, the cultists start smoking that wild shit that Arevor keeps for the high holy days, and everyone just breaks into a frenzy of furious METAL.

You finish with a Strat wail so loud it shatters every window in town and that doesn't even make sense because lutes are acoustic and not electric and Stratocaster doesn't even exist in this timeline but nobody even cares BECAUSE IT'S ROCK.


The crowd is so taken by your performance that a number of them immediately begin bowing down to you, pledging eternal service if you will only teach them the ways of metal.

You gain 12 followers from the power of rock.



Cult Action

There isn't really much your cult can do to top that, but the insane lute performance has loosened some of the more conservative members of town - which means the liberal ones are even riper for the picking.  They add another 7 members to their ranks.  In addition, Paton continues to train some more of the original cultists in basic combat techniques.




Trasin Vor Militia Status: Bewildered


Required: Cult action, your action.


Name: Kyrgyrtzan
Physical might: 11 manpowers  (hungry)
Mental might: 2.6 mageminds (your mental strength is double that of a trained mortal) (-.2:Golems, -.1 Devil Bears)
Musical might: 1.5 rock stars (your musical strength is approximately equal to one and a half Mick Jaggers)
Followers: 33 (21 in your committed cult, 12 in a metal cult)
Slaves: 0
Servants: 2 (1 undercover doll, 1 devil bear)

Unnamed Cult:  Devoted to the art of rock and roll.  12 members in 1 village.

Cult: The Unseeing. Medium organisation. 21 members in 1 village.  1 priest, 1 soldier, 9 militia, 10 cultists.

We just created Rock and Roll... with a lute. That's it, game over, there's no way we're ever topping that... but we can try!

Cult: spread the message of Rock.
Demon: find some food. Preferably without raising the alarm, so make it someone insignificant. A beggar or something.

So it has finally happened. This is how metal was discovered: a generic daemon suddenly had enough of the standard CONQUER THE WORLD BY EATIN BABIES and decided to found Metal...

just.

Amazing...
