Turn our rag-tag group into a propaer cult.

[NUKE9.13]

Previous Update (The Tall Man is worshipped. It feels goood.) | This update (The Tall Man forms a cult.) | Next Update (The Tall Man has a snack.)

Turn our rag-tag group into a proper cult.

You command your worshippers to form a cult in your dark name.

Now that you have a cult, you must define it;
Name: ('The Cult of Krlnkir Yrlvnt' or something else)
Level of Organisation: (None: You are the absolute ruler of the cult. No one has any authority but you. Highest: A complex hierarchy. It runs itself, and there are so many intermediaries between you and the bottom that the lowest orders are not even your followers, but hired employees; janitors, mercenaries, etc)
Looks: (What do the cultists wear? What do the temples look like? What sort of symbols do they use?)
Practices: (How do the cultists meet? What do they do at their meetings? What do they do in general?)

(Note that you can change details about the cult later. For now, that the cult is... 'child friendly' is a given, but if you later want to shift to an 'all ages' cult, that is no problem. Be warned, however, that once the cult grows large and complex enough, it may be harder to change things.)

Once the children have understood your intentions, and made the appropriate preparations, they are ready to be sent out into the village to
-recruit new members
-kidnap a sacrifice
-sow chaos
-do something else

Meanwhile, you feel like exercising your newfound energy by
-Sneaking into the village and eating someone.
-Rampaging into the village and eating several someones.
-Sneaking into the village, enslaving someone with your mind, then eating them.
-Exercising your power in order to summon lesser demons to serve you. Serve you dinner, that is.
-Doing something else entirely (involving food)

Name: Krlnkir Yrlvnt
Physical might: 14 (-1 Hunger penalty)
Mental might: 16
Other: First Worship Rush. You are feeling ready to take on the world!
Followers: 2 (willing mortals- follow you in exchange for power, or for not being eaten)
Slaves: 0 (unwilling mortals- you have broken their minds, if not their bodies)
Servants: 0 (Monsters under your command- be they mutated mortals or lesser demons)

We are called the cult of Tall Man
LoC: none
Looks: our cultists at this stage wear stiched toghter rags in a imitation of our look. Our temple at this point a pyres in a forest clearing, sourrnded by a ring of rocks, in front of the pyre there should be an altar made of stone. Our symbol is a burning man with 4 hands.
Our servants should recurit new members while we sneak into the village and enslave a meal.

[Tiruin]

Woah no, starting like that will attract attention.

Name: Cult of the Tall Man
Level of Organization: Disorganized at this time.
Looks: Currently, the normal villager wear. Nothing fancy to attract attention. Our symbol is a burning man with four hands, but drawn like sticks so as not to attract other attention. Our temple at this point is a pyre in the forest clearing, surrounded by a ring of rocks. In front of the pyre should be a crude altar made of natural stone.

Children: Recruit new members.
You: -Sneaking into the village, enslaving someone with your mind, then eating them. commanding them to attract others to the 'feast'!

[Armok]

Name: Followers of the Tall Man
LoO: The most ruthless kid is the de facto leader, but doesn't get any actual special authorities.
Looks: blue rings painted around the eyes.

This.

Careful = boring, and we should start killing adults in that village to convert all children

Previous Update (The Tall Man forms a cult.) | This update (The Tall Man has a snack.) | Next Update (The Tall Man punishes a Heretic, and creates the first Amberärsh)

Name: Cult of the Tall Man
Level of organization: None (for now)
Looks: Our symbol is a burning man with four hands. Cultists paint blue rings around their eyes, but otherwise wear no uniform. Our temple at this point is a pyre in the forest clearing, surrounded by a ring of rocks. In front of the pyre should be a crude altar made of natural stone.
Practices:...?

Right. This really isn't much of a change from what we had before. You may want to think about long-term plans; will you want a higher level of organization later, will you want your cultists to wear a more impressive uniform, will you want all your temples to be forest groves, or will you want more permanent structures later on?
And what sort of practices should your cultists do- sing haunting melodies, commit random acts of arson, dance around naked? Please note that these actions should be typical 'cult' actions- they should not be especially subtle. Once your cult grows, people will begin to notice it, and I'm looking to establish signs by which it can be noticed.

Our servants should recurit new members while we sneak into the village and enslave a meal.

The children return to the village. Over the next few days, they spread word of the Tall Man amongst the other children. Soon all twelve of the children in the village are your followers- and one of the teenagers as well, who declares himself leader of the cult. The first four try to explain that You are the leader, but it would appear this teenager does not actually believe You exist. HERESY.

Meanwhile, you sneak into the village under cover of darkness. You cast your mind outwards, searching for a weak mind to break to your will. Throughout the village, people suffer horrible nightmares. One man in particular catches your attention. You sense anguish in his mind- his wife died, and he cursed the gods for doing nothing. He offers almost no resistance- he almost welcomes the oblivion you bring.
Once his mind is broken, you call to him. You feel him rise from his slumber, leave his house, and walk down the street, towards you. You lead him out of the village, and by the riverside, you open your arms to him. He steps forth, and is swallowed by the void. You spit his bones out into the river.

Your hunger is sated. Your cult is established. You are still feeling ready to take on the world. You will need to deal with the heretical teen, but that will take no effort whatsoever. You finally feel ready to do
-whatever you feel like.

Name: Krlnkir Yrlvnt
Physical might: 15
Mental might: 16
Other: First Worship Rush. You are feeling ready to take on the world!
Followers: 7 (willing mortals- follow you in exchange for power, or for not being eaten)
Slaves: 0 (unwilling mortals- you have broken their minds, if not their bodies)
Servants: 0 (Monsters under your command- be they mutated mortals or lesser demons)

Cult: The cult of the Tall Man. No organisation. 7 (13) members in 1 village.
  Power level: 4 (-1: HERESY)

[cerapa]

Just eat the heretic. People who would try to hijack a cult might be useful as higher-ups, but we are a goddamn demon. We dont have to put up with that shit. chain of command goes Krlnkir Yrlvnt>Everyone else.

Now, for more important matters. We currently control ALL the children. Lets make some adult converts. There should be relatively little resistance from the parents, unless they really dont like their children, in which case we gain more control over the child. Win-win, and if they resist, we wouldnt need to worry about food.

[Loud Whispers]

I don't know, anyone who would try to take command over a cult despite the implications of a FREAKING DEMON present could be a useful asset. Command him to bring Krlnkir Yrlvnt 13 victims, or his mind gets scrambled.

[cerapa]

Its a teenager that doesnt believe what children tell it. Highly doubt he is as courageous as you think he is.

[Sinpwn]

Command the children to cast the teenager into the pyre as a punishment and as a test of devotion for the cult.

I don't think he's courageous, I think he's setting himself up for a big fall. And I like it when gravity makes things splat.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I think we need an army to clear that villagde fom adults. What about enslaving animals? I'd say domestic cats and dogs, order culticts to catch some and perform rituals that will enslave the animals to our demon
