Turn 4: Finding Cultists
You begin your search of the local area, starting with the non-foilage covered land piece that your lair is on
[Difficulty:15 Roll:13]
where you do not find anything further. You move your search to the islands that are closest to that landmass
[Difficulty:19 Roll:14]
where you also find nothing. You check the land to the south of your lair
[Difficulty:14 Roll:12]
where you find nothing. You move to the piece to the west of that land
[Difficulty:16 Roll:9]
where you still find nothing. You move to the islands to the south-east of your lair
[Difficulty:12 Roll:2]
where you still yet find nothing. You move to the heavily foilaged area of the land piece to the south of your lair
[Difficulty:12 Roll:17]
where you finally find an altar on the westernmost portion of the foilaged area. It has an image of your likeness, and contains multiple offerings that would be left by

a civilized race of beings that utilize bronze-era tools. It appears that the civilization may have risen with you a central figure, despite your knowledge. There is a small entrance to a cave, too small to fit a human.
A small

seventeen more figures emerge and all fall upon their knees in worship.
What is your next action?
Hydras tend to gain cults amongst the uncivilized, who utilize their worship to propel themselves into a society. Each head typically has two priests devoted to them, and further ones waiting for the future heads to arrive. Due to this organization, the priests tend to be the ruling class, below the hydra itself. The hydra's speech tends to be only utilized by the leaders, unless the hydra wills the lower of the race's caste system to use it as well. The hydra that the race worships tends to be what is called the incarnation of their creator, allowing the hydra to rename the race into what it wants once, as well as changing the order of their society at the same time, though it is rare for hydras to do the latter.
Some times, hydras utilize the priests who will worship the next heads to cut off one, to bring out the next. The process is long-winded, so this is not always used, but if this is done, the hydras get a new head, along with the one that grows back.
