Oh, because of the fact that you receive 50% discount on "Taxes" so instead of you getting taken, that Half-Man that took up residence in the tiny bed won't bother you any more... And because the government REALLY likes their taxes!What the H(eldritch wilds)L do you mean? what tiny bed? which half man?

ME: publicly throw the president into the pool underneath the washington monument with telekinesis and hold him under for a full hour while i float above shouting "HAHHAHHAHHA I KILLED YOUR DUMB PRESIDENT NOW ELECT ME"3: You are now recognised as a supervillain and as such banned from the next election.
Send five leader cultist to REWRITE my holy book, mentioning the amazing economical growth of places I visit, begin using the Tv Station to advertise the Tax Goat, as while as several other political parties, to provide funding, get the 80 cultists to mind construct a resort, to cause people to travel to that plane and allow me to hitchhike on them to earth, as while as monetary gain, whisper into the minds of everyone at NPR to make them want to make a positive radio segment about the Tax Goat.
1: They ruin a otherwise passable book, timecube was better written
6: Some cultists transmits your message, which amounts to "Please love me... why won't you love me, *crys*"
Your cultists construct a beautiful palace for you in the eldritch wilds, tourism would give you vast income but they can't because you still need to get summoned
5: the well madepropagandadocumentary just about cancels out the rest of your PR stupidity
+Magnificent Palace

Me: hollow out an inactive volcano. i need a secret lair make the entrance secret maybe you have to push a certain fossil on a certain vertical rock face to enter.5: Bloddy boatmurdured
Send my leader cultists to get a famous movie producer to make a movie about the Tax Goat, with Morgan Freeman as a narrator.1: You know the drill... ("You should really fire your PR department" "What PR department?" "well there's your problem")Spoiler: Spoiler that Skies is NOT allowed to read (click to show/hide)

Send Orb of Stalwart to Tax Goat.(why did you put your turn in two posts? And the orb was safer where you had it, anyway)
Balrog + K inquisitors: Go attack Kinesis, Loot and Kill everyone and thing!!!2: They go "Ooh" and "ahh" at your magnificent handywork instead.
I: Mutate Skyies komodo dragon, This time I make Love the taste of human blood.
70 cultists: build a bunker over the Balrog's house.
35 cultists: Start looking for Necromantic Magic.
other 35: Enter Skyies Cult and Kill some people.
Hey! I... Order you to support me politically.Hey, it's not my fault YOU got so many people to hate you!With all my haters, I still have second best PR! :D
Send 15 leader cultists to recruit, while advertising the Tax Goat as a figure who will bring more jobs.2: Considering what's happened lately they just stay home and study what went wrong all those other times.
Balrog: go beat on Skyies face!5: Epic battles are like... air for balrogs, and truly it is, 200 cream of the crop fighters with almost enuff dakka(The rest seem to be missing, off at a rally or something) vs the embodiment of the fiery depths: The Balrog wades in through bombs and kinetic death while burning bright enough to vaporise bullets before they hit, roaring to shake the earth and dancing with almost balletic grace as the guards put the nigh unmeltable tungsten stores to great use. As the day went on the balrog began to tire, the few seconds while the remaining guards bullets still carried some force was enough to both force it back and physically force it back. It runs off into a second sunset.
Everyone else: attack Kinesis!
Me: convert my inquisitors into cultists!
Fk, my action didn't post...1: You get a nasty burn before you outpace the balrog as you just sent all the guards away. Anyway the populous figures if kinesis is a enemy of you then it's a friend of them
Me: Go into the city and try to rally everyone around to attack Kinesis. Make a speech about how he is a threat to the world! He could kill your kids next! Or burn down your house! Join in the assault, but try to let the civilians take the brunt of the attack.
Cultists: Switch off on guarding the house. The ones who aren't on guard train instead.
ME: recruit "come on live in utmost privacy with mountain top views at kinesis secret base*"2: They think it's an invitation to a play. They go home satisfied with the wonderful tornado special effects.
*must be prapared to die if not accepted for application, if you are abalrog your room will be driectly linked to the lava chambe WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE.
"ifI do need actions to doYou do need to answer my questions.
They are as follows:
Can the Apocalypse be initiated once the cascade completes?
What's the supernatural punishment for oathbreaking?
He was supposed to help me initiate the Apocalypse. That means kill off half the players.No roll: you are not free of your contract, you never specified when he must do this thus the contract stands and the standard slave contract prevents direct sabotage such as that
100 heavily armed cultists: Quarantine Tax Goat's guards. Take their weapons too.
200 other cultists: Make me an unbreakable wooden shield. That is large enough for me.
Everyone that can possibly do this: Promote Tax Goatism, if Skies breaks his oath everyone is to immediately prepare for war by gathering weapons, heavily armed cultists on guard duty : Burn, loot, and pillage his base, leave no survivors, myself, whisper into the minds of congress to get them to make Skies public enemy number one.4: You get some cultists and PR
Everyone but 10 Cultists: Doggy pile Kinesis!
10 Cultists: Go grab that weapons cache we know about...
Everyone but 10 Cultists: Doggy pile Kinesis!4: It takes a while but your cultists find kinisis's base, to test for traps they toss in a spare goblin, selling the... fascinating video of it just about pays for getting the bone splinters removed.
10 Cultists: Go grab that weapons cache we know about...
ME: STRIKE THE EARTH use every ounce of my concentrated telekinesis to slam the inquisitors several kilometers into the ground (say they liked that guy you all hate)6: They were looking for you on the volcano, the volcano now with 2 spouts.
Me: take rock and debris from about a kilometer around me (not including my base just leave it standing on a huge kilometer high pillar of rock) and compress it into a small nearly indestructible sphere around me to recuperate.[\b]2: you sorta go "uuh" and some random lithiods float randomly, the complex layers of recursive kinisis that hold you together slowly unravel , a passing and very lucky crow finds out that kinisis tastes like blueberry jello
Hey, I just realized several things, one, Skyies, you are not allowed to commit, or order to be committed, any violent act against me, second of all, I don't think I have Dragon's blood, if I doThat reminds me, I think you used up your dragons blood and Skyies lost the Orb trying to pass it to you, instead they go look for the missing orbSpoiler (click to show/hide)
Half of cultists: Recruit!3: 50 doom-preppers itching to try out their gear come out to help you
Other half: Demolish inquisitors.
Me: KILL Bont da lifas to death. Claws, energy flames, whatever. Then tell his cultists that their leader is dead, and if they attack Kinesis's base I will grant them anything. Let the balrog pound on my armor if he attacks me, and ask if wants to join me. If he agrees, tell him to lead the assault on Kinesis, or else kill him as well.
50 Cultists: Arm yourselves!No roll: They get weapons.
Other 50: Advertise, We need more people to join this cult!
I: Look for an old man named Henderson; and Attempt to get him to join my cult, or at the very least try and convince him that his lawn gnomes were stolen by Skyies.
Balrog: Look for hell portals we can rent the use of.
"Hey! Skyles, if you agree to become my slave for 4000 years, I will send you reinforcements!"
mah remaining cultists: you are now the elder council of my cult "wisened" "old" ones who follow my word as your first act carve ancient mysterious sound runes into the walls of my volcano base that still get across the message that they should join the cult of kinesis.1: Your cultists carve glyphs of madness in the various surfaces of the cave.
1: They attempt to scavenge the weapons from the hands of Skyies guards, it does not go well as one might expectSpoiler: For Bont (click to show/hide)Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Cult -1: Beat & Shoot At Skyies4: They attack some unremarkable mooks that wander away from the base.
remaining 1: convince Old man Henderson that the tax goat & Skyies stole his lawn gnomes!
I: use 'beam of doom' on Skyies Face.
Me: Finish off Bont da lifas. Initiate the APOCALYPSE! If Tax Goat (succeeds in) breaks his oath, redirect the balrog over to him. He'll have plenty of fun there.6: You arrive just in time for Bont da lifas to blast you in the face, you scream stuff like "MY EYE! MY ^^^^^^^^^ EYE!" fronkly such a lucky shot could never have happened if you weren't in such a rush
Rich cultists: Buy ponies.
Everyone else: Start constructing a bunker. Get materials and whatnot.
Woah, wtf. The only reason Bont was alive was because of the mercy save. I chose to kill him. Why the fk did I even leave his base in the first place?Because the balrog carried you back to your base
So... you're saying... that the mercy save LET HIM LIVE?His cultists you asked to attack kinisis and the mortal wounds activate regardless, also you are a bit of a wimp, 0 physique and all that.
I disagree. I clearly stated my intention to kill, and the mercy save should not have stopped that. Please tell me how a single 5 fully healed death wounds. He should've died before he could say 'Help me cultists!'. Since his cultists were stabbing him too. If I'm not mistaken.
"Deal! 2500 years, the apocalypse and the orb!"
Send 175 of my cultists, and the slime mold, to help out Skyies.
Well... I have 2 power and he has 0 mindlock... and I rolled a 5... I think that counts as a difference of 7 (theoretically). Fallacy uses 8 as a oneshot, and he was already wounded before....I do think he at least tried to help, he did send over some of his few guards, also I don't calculate damage like that.
And: Any agreement I made would've been invalid SINCE HE DISAGREED TO MY TERMS. I just overlooked that. Come on, don't make me agree to a contract in which I didn't even get my end of the deal. And... his guards didn't even help me. THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. EVEN WHEN I WAS ATTACKED. But I'm pretty sure that was an overlook on your part. Not only that, but his guards even basically raided me. I got a whole lot of inconvenience/being attacked for nothing.
I didn't get what I wanted in this contract, yet he got everything. Shows what saying that you agree and saying that you'll only do some of the contract is enough to fool me. Congrats.
Also: Not entirely sure why my bunker action was ignored. I had plenty of cultists to do it.
Me: Recuperate. Then hire supernatural lawyers.
Cultists: Find an isolated hard to reach base.
Balrog: Kill Bont's guards.
EVERYONE: DOGGY PILE SKYIES NOW WE WILL DESTROY HIM!!!5: They pile up and while doesn't do anything directly it does make it rather hard to rest
I: hit Skyies with my 'beam of doom' again.
3: They nail a few planks over the windowsSpoiler (click to show/hide)
cutlists: down a huge amount of liquor then retreat into pillow forts and use imagination.2: They can't find any pillows worth a damn, they try using planks but it just isn't the same.
Wait.... did the eldritch wilds get invaded? The government has a way to send troops to my dimension! Fuck!Their burns were so sick you got singed.
The stats are wrong. e.g., it says Bont is unhurt.Just fixed it
2: Noop.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
COUNCIL OF THE ELDERS: do a silly dance5: They do the silliest dance, no dance can be sillier in a gravity well, a passing Virgin Galactic person decides to help them perfect their craft.
Cultists: since you are on top of Skyies, I think it would be appropreate if you started jumping and kicking.5: Their efforts do prevent movement for a while.
I: take a trip to the hospital!
Half cultists: Try to find a better hidden base. Build one if need be.1: They find a very nice hidden base, so good that somebody already claimed it. Your cultists escape under a hail of bullets.
Other half: Recruit the president.
Me: Stop resting and deal with the immediatethreatnuisance. Also known as Bont da lifas. I'm assuming that he's still in my base. If he's not, kill his cultists that are still in my base.
I: Go looking for medical treatment3: While normally your lack of speed would have hampered you the flatbed truck allows you to get to a local hospital. "Kid with a broken arm, flu, severely mauled T.C.U.F.G.R.F native..."
EVERYONE ELSE: RECRUTE!!
1: The resulting crater is only of interest to some more esoteric theoretical nuclear physicists.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I think so. Anyway, I thought I'd already posted an action... D:6: Your entire cult and you squeezed into it, you did not bother to take the occupants out, a few 'nades and a few machine guns used in tightly packed poorly lit area later you and most of your cult are the only occupants. Luckily nobody important was harmed.
Prepare to take over the occupied hidden base.
COUNCIL OF THE ELDERS: do a silly dance in space4: It is truly majestic and everyone agrees it was well worth the price but it was perhaps not the silliest dance, to that end they...

(Question, how did I lose cultists from the rocket blowing up, all I did was whisper into their minds.)You did not specify only you.
Specifically, the one who wondered why he lost cultists from the rocket blowing up.Minimum safe distance was miscalculated.
6: The amount of force you pipe in caused him to burst, rather messily[/b]Spoiler (click to show/hide)
ME:More Medical Treatment!3: Some bedrest is rudely interrupted.
5 Cultists: Train in Recruiting People!
Everyone Else: More Recruiting
COUNCIL OF ELDERSand my new space ship crew: attach my asteroid base to haley's comet.No: The problems with that cannot be listed, the astronauts wisely steer them away from the controls.
It wasn't you with the lack of activity, Evonix.5: (The dice really like you guys today) You tear through the cult, the lair and Bont Da Lifas, as you cannot find a face you just burn all.
Attack Bont. Flame him in the face.
okay gavity slingshot around the moonIt's not simply the fact that it would take more delta V than is on your astroid. You might be able to manufacture one however making one that could transport all your cultists is less likely. The biggest problem is that it would take years.
Continue assault because all of his cultists are busy.Just saying, I have heavily armed cultists still there, also, GM, can we get the resource things back? I don't know how much Dragon armor I have, or how many new cultists.
Yes but they can only have one type on at a timeWait, only one type of armour? If not, why can't they just be heavily armed and armoured cultists?
I do not understand what you meanYes but they can only have one type on at a timeWait, only one type of armour? If not, why can't they just be heavily armed and armoured cultists?
Okay, I can get it if they can only wear one type of armour, which I'm assuming is what you mean, as it would make no sense for them to be unable to shoot a weapon with the armour on.I do not understand what you meanYes but they can only have one type on at a timeWait, only one type of armour? If not, why can't they just be heavily armed and armoured cultists?
Continue assault because all of his cultists are busy.What do you mean by that? you? your cultists? Assaulting who?
Me: Get Healed.6: You won't settle for just any eldritch hospital, it must be the BEST eldritch hospital, you spend so much time looking that you have sustained permanent damage by the time you get there, it's a testament to their skill that they manage to heal you at all. Also it took so much time that you will need to heal during next turn instead. It could have been worse, you could have ended up here (http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/524.html)
Everyone But RRs: Attack Skyies with everything we have!
Continue assault because all of his cultists are busy.3: It takes quite some time but everybody has suited up and gotten ready for battle, you lead the charge but barely get a syllable of your war cry before you see a pickup coming the other way.
6: Rumors of Devil worship do not help Rushin PR, also your influence doesnt really spread, Turns out "BOW TO ME" doesn't really appeal to non cult members.Continue assault because all of his cultists are busy.Just saying, I have heavily armed cultists still there, also, GM, can we get the resource things back? I don't know how much Dragon armor I have, or how many new cultists.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(instead of gravity slingshot) get the council of elders into the main capsule then deorbit the rest of the station ontop of bont's base attempting to both take out bont and skeis and land the main module properly6: So your cult is not astrophysicists, they think big rock make big dent. What happened started with the battlefield's sky gaining a deep red tint and a second sun, continued with megatonnes and ended up on the news. skeis is fine, whoever he is
Elder council:RECROOOOOOOOOOT and lead a new cult3: They recroooooooooot a few survivors, they actually found a lot but the vast majority just broke down crying when they discovered that their were door to door preachers after the apocalypse.
Half of my cultists: Recruit, other half: go to building school myself: Make a copy of myself on the island.3: 300 cultists join your cause, your recruiters don't deserve a description.
3: You get there but don't find much so you just scratch graffiti on the walls, stomp around and drink the kool-aid.Spoiler: Assuming none of my cultists are alive... (click to show/hide)
I: Finish healing.6: You finish healing, you finish healing so hard it hurts.
Anyone still alive: steal a ship and get over to that Island.

Elder council: RECROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT6: It's the perfect circumstances to breed religious fanaticism, it takes a surprisingly short time for somebody to get nailed to a ball, the ball did hover though so there may be something to it.
the other 5 guys:RECROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
Okay, then use my influence in Russia to get them to set up a secret military base here, a hundred cultists are to go to Russia and start door to door preaching, meanwhile, the remainder of them will begin to gather up military grade equipment.
Rekruit some Kroot
