Blood Cult: Difference between revisions

!When used, a text window appears to allow you to broadcast whatever you want directly into the minds of all cultists and constructs in '''BOLD, CAPITAL, RED TEXT'''. It is undetectable unless someone nearby overhears you. This is useful if you need to communicate with the cult before you know the translation for the communicate rune.

!Summon a cultist body armor and hood which protect against close combat damage, as well as summoning the unholy cultist blade which is very powerful as it is cursed by Nar'Sie's dark power (Non-Cultists will have a "drunken" camera and when trying to use it will fall to the ground and take some damage). '''NOTE:''' Do not do this at round start unless you want to get robusted!

!A capturing device use to trap the souls of dead/in Limbo mobs (doesn't work on humans who left their body) and when captured they will become a trapped shade which can be released out of its jail or it can be used on a construct shell.

Once you have your own tome, either put it away or put known words into your notes section if anyone else has shared their discoveries. Once you've set words, runes will appear in the scribing section as preset rune combinations.

You have your tome, you have some words, and you want to start scribing runes. A lot of jobs on the station have access to areas great for research, remember that a simple examination can tell the non-believers whether a rune was drawn in your blood or with crayon. Try to place runes in areas people rarely frequent, that the AI won't be watching like a hawk. While the AI can't actually see runes, he can easily inform security of suspicious activity and you'll be hung and burned at the stake before you can say PRAISE NAR'SIE!  

 

 

 

Take the five-use paper out of your bag, and summon a tome and get a stun talisman. You start with the words for convert but they don't automatically go into your tome, so set them in the notes section. Scribe a rune for convert in a hard-to-find and secure location (for example, if you're a [[Bartender]], smash the light in the back room and scribe it there, as the AI can't see with a broken light), find someone alone, and click on them with the stun talisman. They'll collapse for a long while, and you can pull them over the convert rune and invoke it by clicking it with an empty hand to convert them and, in turn, gain a word. Keep doing this with talismans from your original paper until you have the imbue and stun runes available, then you can save the paper for other things.

 

'''As a Newly Converted'''

If you were not given a tome, ignore this section. If you were given a tome, then read the notes. If the cultist was sensible, he has copied over words to your tome for you to use. If not, wait until you find another cultist and ask them in a whisper to add to your tome. Once they do, you can scribe a convert rune in a secure location and use any way of stunning them, preferably a stun talisman, to convert them. Other ways work but they may have time to scream for help.

You, or another cultist has now translated all of the words. Hopefully you remembered to use the communication rune to share them with the entire cult. With proper communication, you can do things like summon cultists to a meeting place, resurrect fallen allies, create teleportation networks for ease of escape or access to areas, supply the other cultists with armor, weapons, stun and teleport talismans, and whatever else you might think of. Be sure to inform your converted brothers about any runes or places of worship that you have set up, and if you're able, give them a tome of their own (translated) so they may help the cause.

!The first rune that you are likely to use. To convert somebody, you need to place a live human, willing or otherwise on top of the rune and then "use" the rune with an empty hand. This will work on anyone who is not loyalty implanted or in possession of a null rod. Loyalty implants will not remove somebody's status as a cultist, only prevent them from being converted.

!The sacrifice rune is used to gain favour of your God by sacrificing different living things to it. It also might be your objective to sacrifice a specific person. You can sacrifice monkeys and humans, with all of them having different chance to gain favor of your God. If you are lucky enough, you will suddenly remember meaning of one of the rune words, possibly one you already know. You can sacrifice dead bodies and monkeys alone, but to sacrifice a living human or your target, you need to have 3 cultists chanting by the rune. Sacrificing a living human is very likely to yield a positive result for you
