[quote="Nephzinho" post=""493323347"5"] e; GH, have you considered putting together a map for everything? If we're going to continue trying to influence different groups, it may help track the different events occuring in different locations if we had a map to track events over. [/quote] Yeah, I should get my rear end into gear and get a map made, I can keep it bare and add to it later. I'll make that tomorrow's job after the WITW turn.

An army marching seems like the perfect opportunity for disease and pestilence. Lets be subtle and not do something that gets us highlighted twice in a row.

E- teleport highly toxic but slow acting mushrooms like deathcaps etc into the armies' soup pots. Small teleports can be easily hidden from the mages in the army and they all need to eat. Some may not eat or be resistant, but all the rest should start collapsing at the same time a couple days later.

E Whatever we do, don't do the same trick twice in a row. Poison is good. Preferably delivered by the Stingrays or cultists instead of more of the teleportation magic we know they can counter now.

Hmm. Some good ideas here. Replicate our Malaria trick from when we were starting out. Let it spread but be sure to distribute cures to our and Asherah's people.

 Prey for Salvation. Sarga decided it was time for a new tactic. Or an old one, writ new. She retired to her new labs, and searched for someone with a rather nasty airborne disease. Patient X was kidnapped and transferred to the lab. The process took two weeks, but Obsidonilla’s death had bought her the time. She had worked in germ warfare before, but this time she was now linking it to the yet poorly understood new magic of belief. The idea was simple - a plague that only cured itself if you believed in the true religion of Asherah. Following the Imperial cult or any of the other gods would lead to a painful death. She worked hard, but the first few victims died, not matter how much the believed. Sarga spent thousands on new reagents and equipment, and her men spent a lot of time hunting down new test subjects. Finally there was a breakthrough. She was able to bind the disease to both her and Asherah, so that praying to either would cure it, but praying to her would actually strengthen the individual. Making the disease virulent was easy, it was harder to make it slow acting - she wanted people to die slowly, to give them maximum chance to convert - and to spread to more people. She succeeded, and she strode from her lab with a few vials and a haggard look on her face. ”Take these to to the following locations - the army camp, the city of Kilran, and the capital of Zhogast.” Irwin and Seaglass nodded, and took the vials. The Army and Zhogast were easy picks, and Kilran was the home of the cult, so it was a good target to gain her some believers. The infiltration of the virus went off without a hitch, it was simple enough to drop into crowded places and watch it spread. The first victims died four days later, and more and more were found to be inflicted. The army was hard hit, they had just begun their march towards Zagast when they became to come down with the pustules and blood filled lungs that marked the disease. After a week, the army had halted a couple of days march from the city, but it had so many sick it could not march on, reports were coming in from almost every city in the empire now. That was when the priests of Asherah and Scargill began to move into the crowds. The latter moved in more select circles of course, but both were able to show that praying to Asherah as they proscribed worked, people began to get better - in the case of the secret Scargill worshippers, MUCH better. But as they did, more got sick. Soon the outbreak was known as the Soul Plague. Panic began to spread amongst the mages, priests and doctors of the Empire. They worked to find a cure, or to find a way to at least harness the belief. Those who Sarga saw making progress were visited by assassins from either her cult or the Truthers, or some of her troops in the more exposed regions. Things were going well, after a month the number of people who were switching denominations was increasing - it was proven that belief in him brought salvation. In some cases entire towns and cities mass converted. The empire tried to fight back, but many troops were not willing to die of a horrible disease for their masters. Then reports came that people in the capital were getting better following the Imperial church. To begin with, it was not sure if it was a rumour, a hope, or the truth, but the stories grew that the Emperor himself was another path to salvation. Sarga knew she must act. The Emperor was the weakest politically he had ever been, but if he was able to prove he could cure the Soul Plague, the he would be able to enforce the status quo. That was a fantastic idea, and I’ve had to advance a story plot point to counter it - so well done! How do we deal with the Emperor? A - Send in the cult to take him out. B - Turn the religious uprising into a true revolution. C - Attack the Imperial Palace yourself. D - Send in spies to find out more information. E - Do nothing, they are only rumours. F - Something else. quote:Mana = 85/400 (2/day at the castle)
