Just realized trog was the one who hadn't gone and I just hadn't rolled for his actions... Doesn't make much sense that AD still wants to use this as his turn, but whatever...
"YAY! ME ALIVE! TROG NO LIKE AFTERLIFE, TO MUCH FIRE AND EVIL MONSTERS. IT'S BETTER HERE. THANKS FOR THE CPR KOSHU, BUT YOU STILL TRIED TO KILL ME SO, SORRY! NO HARD FEELINGS, RIGHT?"


TROG: He Heals himself using his cockroach regenerative abilities!
Gort: Personally Mummify Koshu's Cult!
KONG: SMASH Koshu!
75 Mummies: Mummify The Inquisitor Filth!
75 Mummies: Guard TROG and Age anybody who comes near! Please keep in mind that TROG'S Species is Immortal.
New Mummies: Age The Nearest Smokestack Factory to dust to Fight Pollution and Cripple Industry!
25 Aging Anarchist Cultists: Recruit More Cultists! But this time, Try to recruit Naturalists and Wilderness Survivalists!
New Cultists: Recruit some More Naturalists and Survivalists!

Regenerate: [irrelevant] Your blood runs cold on the muddy ground. You try to heal but can't. Death is quieter than you had imagined.
Raid on Koshu: [2] Gort's too busy shoving his limbs back into place after being bombarded by a flying metal shell. Kong decides to take a nap instead.
Mummy attack: [2] They don't understand your instructions. Stupid mummies with their whole "brain removed at death" thing
Recruit: [irrelevant] All your nobody tries to find support and cannot seem to interact with people. Oh well.
CURSE: Flies
[4] Flies swarm your base. They annoy Kong and try to eat Gort and his minions. (Flies attacking GORT)

Inquisitors: do nothing because you're all dead

((... by the way, the ancient Egyptians actually had beer, and possibly wine. Look it up. And another thing: have you considered running an Evil Mastermind sort of thing with this system?))

I haven't, but feel free to do so yourself. It sounds interesting, if you do it I might even participate as a player.

((is there any way to deactivate inquisitors?))
((Killing them/getting rid of them all (like carp did) or losing so much that they run out of things to do (like Tavern Wench did) are the main ways, but deactivating them and still having them around doesn't do much considering that anyone can just reactivate them))

End of Turn 10.
This is supposed to say turn 11, right?

Turn 12 actions:
Koshu: telepathicly compel Puff-Puff to spread dust throughout Unescargot's base.
cultists: wash away the dust. If that does not take too long, recruit.
Logged
Dwarf Fortress: where an exploding unicorn death factory is a goal unto itself.
If it has cute cuddly features, it's probably safe to eat, so do not reason with it either.

Yeah, I wouldn't actually let you use that in a game because the power to absorb other horrors and gain their power is OP (the only reason I made GOEAR able to gain power at all is because he does it by wrecking your armies, which are arguably much more useful than a giant, carnivorous mound of flesh).

Also you have no points in power or presence yet have a lot of abilities that would require them (in practice I would just say "you do a thing but it has no effect" because you don't have any stat points to support the action)

also, there's a big dissonance between what you say you are (hideous and detestable) and what your stats say (you could woo the world yourself if you wanted). In practice I would handwave this by saying something like "they see the inner you" or "you hypnotize them with your unwavering gaze" but it's still a thing to keep in mind (unless stat dissonance is exactly what you were going for). Feel free to mull over more horror ideas though, even if you don't use any of them it's fun to come up with them (I know, I've made several already as sub horrors).

Also, sorry about the delays guys, but it's the middle of finals and I'm a bit busy. I'll update this weekend with more horror-y "goodness".

yeah i decided to make the detestable horrible repulsive thing i could imagine (which is why the powers were like that) and give it
a five in appeal and when it absorbs other horrors it only adds it's strength and power stats i should change it to strength or power.


p.s. do you think i wrote that well?
