I bless Jack with the power of expedited pamphlet creation and distribution.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

Gift jack a fancy cheese proof hat. Every time it functions there will be a funny noise and something silly will happen in his vicinity.

Turn 4
(Final Challenge Round)



Now - finally - for pamphlets! The printing house cannot be terribly difficult to get to from here; I want to be printing pro-Chaos pamphlets ASAP! We shall have my converts aiding in production and distribution, with those who are most eloquent distributing at the locations of greatest traffic. They should also be going out now, to secure further conversion prior to the pamphlets being available (and they should have some of the stronger converts with them for protection).
I will be moving briskly to avoid further cheese-related head injuries, and see about acquiring an umbrella. Maybe one decorated with some silver chaos-related symbolism.

(5)
Jack and his followers quickly seize the printing press. It was an old thing, only used to slowly make sheets for the local church, but it is modified under the skilled hands of Jack’s followers to make pro chaos propaganda. The next CHEESEFALL, (ominous voice included), was greeted with cheers as Jack jumped out of the way. One convert hesitantly gave Jack an umbrella hat that he was inspired to make. The few printing press workers are quickly converted. Jack sends out advance teams to prepare and spread the word.  (+3 converts)
(1)
Unfortunately they are unable to find much of anyone, and get too distracted debating theology among themselves to do any serious recruiting. The pamphlets printed sit undistributed. (+2 converts).


Whisper the secrets of CHOAS into the town's minds. Let them go mad and kill for the dark gods(that are us)
The true secrets of choas can be a terrible thing to bare. Some go mad and run through the streets, attacking anyone the run across. Others barricade themselves inside their home.

I have picked the best path, THE PATH OF VIOLENCE!
Have all of my converts take up arms and aid me in treating people with death so they join my cause, then see if I can use my followers at one with nature thing to get some animals to join me as well.
(1)
The Prophet of King Zultan storms the town his followers, running through the streets proclaiming the strength of chaos. However, the streets and town is nearly empty and they find no one. The followers of the two prophets brawl in the streets, each championing their prophet. (+6 converts)
(1)
The few followers that the Prophet of King Zultan sent into the woods somehow “merged” with the trees.

(2 Holy shit these rolls are bad)
The Prophet of Rahx speeds his chariot home, tearing up dirt on his path. With a flash of light and loud caw, a loud rooster appears next to him, and is quickly left behind by the chariot. Distant calls to praise chaos follow behind him. He reaches the outskirts of the village and has time to convince a few old fishmongers to join him. (+4 converts).

Quote
CONVERT RANKINGS
Glass: 44
King Zultan: 48
Rahx: 6

A loud gong resounds and ripples through the village, sending up a cloud of dust and debris.

A voice from the skies, “The Prophet of Zultan has proven himself worthy! Choose a Boon for yourself, and the Gods of Chaos will vote for another boon to grant you!”

The Prophet of Rahx was raised into the sky, “You have done well, but your service has ended.”

There was a crack in the air; and to mortal eyes the prophet simply disappeared. Minutes passed with no further words, the crowds began to shift anxiously and quiet murmuring broke out.

The Prophet accelerated faster and faster until his insides were liquified and only held together by chaotic power, directly into the moon. As he collided with its rocky surface, his body was transformed into pure energy.

From the ground the world gasped as the moon shattered in half. Thousands of fragments spread across the sky.

Chaos had come.

Send visions with orders to join Rahx in crusade against civilization  to shamans and leaders of wild northern chaos worshipping barbarian tribes

Across hundreds of tribes in the north, memories resurface. Ancient promises, of glory and conquest with the breaking of the moon. Of a prophet who would appear to lead them.
And the moon was broken, and the horns sounded as the barbarians marched to war.

King Zultan won this challenge, and can pick a boon to recieve. The Chaos gods will also choose a blessing to give the prophet (if no clear winner will be chosen randomly from options).

Rahx, good run! will be added to top of waitlist. Other prophets may also apply and join next turn.

Prophets may consider this a free round before next challenge.

Oh well.
Organize some more effective spreading of the pamphlets, and take a number myself to distribute at one of the most heavily-trafficked locations.
Also preach, because it’s useful.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

The Imperator votes on the boon of MUTATION. We shall infuse Zultan with our chaotic power and change some things about him. No, we're not going to be specific about it. That's for order pansies. No, we'll spin the wheel and see what he gets. 'Cause that's MUTATION!
Oh, also turn some moonchuncks into divine drugs. A little treat for the mortals. Don't forget the whispers of darkness too!

Oh hello... a nameless chaos just bubbling up.

Next turn if any prophets want a horrible rotting disease to afflict them just ask and you will receive it.  It is totally contagious and will cause puss filled blisters and will only hurt a bit (this is a lie it is very painful) before you lose all sense of pain and turn into some kind of self-aware zombie.

Give Zultan a winged ferret-donkey with the voice of Ellen Mclain which sarcastically congratulates him whenever he hurts people.

If I read the update right I have to makeup some form of boon to give myself so I Choose a magical talking zebra that'll help me do stuff, as I feel a talking animal companion is incredibly important and I need as many of them as I can get.
If it turns out I read it wrong and I have to chose from one of the ones provided by the others, than I want Egan's for the same reason as above.
