Gravekeepers: Repeat the Salmoning ritual.
Cultists: Start digging out a bunker under the Mausoleum.
I: Grab up some Russians, I Require additional Cultists...

Pester: [2] He wasn't listening, and instead spends the whole turn flopping around and gasping. What's his problem? (Count Trout lightly injured due to suffocation)
Salmoning: [3] Haha! They have summoned several horrors this time! Wait, those are just regular fish... (acquired salmon)
Dig: [4] They dig deeper into the underground under the mausoleum, hopefully deep enough that an explosion aboveground won't reach them. (bunker dug under base)
Recruit: [5] You convince some russian people to help you. They talk about vodka and bears for the whole turn. (gained 100 Russian cultists)

Recruit: [1] You seem to have a knack for finding those thorns, don't you? (+25 inquisitors)
Base: [6] Good news: they built a sturdy fortress as your base. Bad news: They forgot to put any doors or windows and several of them suffocated (built sturdy fortress base (LOCKED), -25 cultists, 80 cultists locked inside)
Dragon blud: [2] They can't even be bothered to come up with an excuse for not getting the blood
Orb: [5] They spot an orb of Stalwart in a pit and haul it out with no trouble. This takes so much time that they have to leave it in the field for the turn. (gained access to Orb of Stalwart 4)

Hondrasaan: Make the remaining Inquisitors insane so as to destroy credibility.
10 smart cultists: Research the lantern that hitchhiked with me.
All other cultists: Find weapons, dig in at our base and prepare for battle in case the insanamamizing fails.

Insanity: [5] You do such an excellent job at it that they all commit suicide. What a hero. (-5 inquisitors, inquisitors deactivated)
Research: [1] They all mysteriously disappear after being left alone with Unlight. No fair! Those are your cultists to eat! (-10 "smart" cultists)
Weapons: [1] Many get lost in the search. You suspect the other horrors of foul play, but have no proof. (-100 cultists)

ME:recroot
cultists : offer to help the fisherman with summoning in return for me being summoned too after our orb mysteriously got stolen

Recruit: [2] You don't get anyone willing to act as a host to you. Curses.
Help with summoning: [4] Your cult agrees, for a limited time, to perform the summoning for Cosmic fisherman in exchange for you being summoned with his stuff _{and possibly having him become a host to you immediately after...} Whether Fisherman agrees or not is ultimately irrelevant, the cult agreed for him since this frees them to perform their own actions on his turn. (Can perform summoning with Fisherman's items on Fisherman's turn) ((That wouldn't be counted as one of the five actions in case that's important))

Look for summoning ingredients.

Dragon blood: [6] They seek out the dragon blood, and they find it... A big pool of it, which many of them fall into... (-50 cultists, acquired dragon blood)
Orb: [2] They can't find any Orbs of Stalwart.

((There is a connection between power potion made from dragon blood and summoning a horror without it causes weakness. Not sure what that means tho.))

((The connection is that without dragon blood the ritual uses the horror's power to be performed, so they are exhausted for awhile))

Daragon: Flee into woods and create a Seed of the Gold Spire, again setting the vines not to attack the cult if successful.
(Remaining) Cult: Learn how to create a Seed from Daragon

Seed: [6] You plant a seed of gold into the nearby forest and tendrils immediately start consuming everything. You think to yourself that it's working faster than normal, then realize you put more of your biomass into that seed than you meant to. (Seed 1 planted, now hungry)
Learn the ways: [1] They get too close and get sucked into the tentacles. Mmm... flesh... Shit, those were the last of your cultists... (-7 fanatics, now slightly hungry)
Regen: [1] You burn more biomass trying to speed up your healing, but end up just making yourself hungrier. (now very hungry)
Saragon: attack Speedoman
[3] Saragon slinks over toward the teleporting speedo man and nudges him. Speedo man of course runs away before Sara can do much, but manages to get a solid punch in before leaving. Speedo man barely resists catching mercury plague, but due to his skin being like wet tissue paper, still gets pretty badly chopped up. (Saragon moderately wounded, Speedo man heavily wounded)
