((OOC: That was me, again, this is my first time running a Quest.))

>>839794

You are Thoth Talibah, a former Space Marine of the Blood Ravens. For decades, you were like your companions, filled with Zeal for the Emperor, obsessed with purging Xenos and Chaos in his name. For many years, you believed that there could be no other way, but sometime after a duel with a Greater Demon of Tzeentch, you began to feel doubt in your purpose. After all, where was the Emperor when your brethren were butchered? Where was the Emperor when those countless billions of innocent mortals were corrupted by Nurgle's Rot? Where was the Emperor when millions of Imperial Guardsmen cried out for healing as they laid dying? There could be only one answer, the Emperor was false.

The Powers Of Chaos were undeniably real, and unlike the Emperor, they actually cared about their followers and those who believed in them were granted Power. Power to enact their will, and bend the universe to their whim. Change, Chaos, the Warp's Shifting Madness. You've seen it in your dreams, and know of its matchless beauty. Only one Ruinous Power understands this. To that end, you have sworn eternal devotion to Tzeentch. In acknowledgement of this first step, he granted you the spark of sorcery, and while your power is pitiful as of now, with training it will increase.

You managed to escape your chapter's fleet in the middle of a naval battle with an Ork Waaagh in the Zerht System. You blasted a small escape pod out of the Cobra-class Destroyer you were assigned in, and fled to Zerht 3, a massive Hive World. You're certain that the Blood Ravens think you're dead, and won't bother looking, as they've already left the System. You landed your escape pod on top of a seemingly abandoned building in one of the many slums, and you fled the scene to avoid any prying eyes.

Its been one month since your betrayal of the Corpse-God, and you feel you've done quite well for yourself. Through careful speech, 39 mortal men and women among the dredges of society have been convinced to follow the Changer Of Ways. Though they have no skills worth mentioning, they are steadfast in their devotion. Due to their tithes, you have 2,000 Throne Gelts to your name. You've managed to find a fairly large chamber in an abandoned sewer that should meet you and your flock's needs for now.

You are standing before your followers, giving a speech, when one interrupts you, raising his hand. "Me Lord, pardon me. Talkin' 'bout followin' Tzeentch is good an' all, but when 're we gonna do somethin' worth doin'?"

Afterwards, the cultists should go out and try to find desperate people to recruit, Mutants, Drug Addicts, and Starving Homeless People are all ideal. Meanwhile, Thoth will stay at the sewer and practice Sorcery.

>>841808
We will get involved in hive world polotics and slowly erode there belife in the emporer from within corrupting there souls. Or start a riot you know somthing fun.

>>841832

((OOC: Oh shit, is one of you using my wifi!?!))

>>841808
Get involved in local politics seems good.

>>841808
Right now it seems like our acolytes are among the lowest dredges of whatever society we've landed in.

We should look into ways to acquire some weapons, and use our military experience to train them into a respectable, disciplined militant force.

When our people are not a bunch of toothless hobos, we should attract some more followers, and can potentially rent our people out as a private army to someone influential.

>>841808

So it looks like Thoth will be hosting an orgy to raise morale,`spending 800 Throne Gelt to pay the cultists, 500 Throne Gelt to acquire cheap weapons, and training the cultists, all while trying to become involved in local politics? OK, update imminent.

Though the cultists are more than willing to serve without payment, I'm sure they'd appreciate the extra cash.

[b]"Excellent question, brother Zachary. Before we sow the seeds of Tzeentch's Chaos, let us indulge in the pleasures of the flesh to show our devotion to the Changer Of Ways!"[b]

The cultists look somewhat confused, until they realize that you're talking about having an orgy in Tzeentch's name. You abstain yourself, and watch. They're not the most attractive mortals, that's for sure, but at the height of the festivities, you seem to sense a faint, pleasant hum in the air, and think for a moment, that something out there is watching this all, as if bemused.

[b]+1 Favor[b]

When the celebration ends, you dismiss the cultists as they probably won't be up to doing anything else today. You spend the rest of the day training your sorcery, to no avail.

The next day, the cult reassembles, and you begin to assign tasks to the faithful.

> 30 of the unskilled Fanatics are to train under Thoth
> 3 of the unskilled Fanatics are to purchase weapons on the black market using 500 Throne Gelt.
> 3 of the more charismatic unskilled Fanatics are to recruit more followers.

Over the next week the 30 cultists under your tutelage become more physically fit, and learn some basic hand to hand combat maneuvers. They would certainly be slaughtered by any disciplined force, and you could slay them yourself without trouble, but they're somewhat better than they were before.

The 3 Fanatics you've sent to recruit more faithful have done poorly, to say the least. 1 Fanatic doesn't return at all. The other 2 have managed to convince one depressed homeless person to investigate the cult for himself. You manage to impress him with your educated rhetoric, and obvious power, and he agrees to stay, though he doesn't yet swear devotion to Tzeentch.

You consider paying the cultists with 800 Throne Gelt, but then reconsider. After all, isn't 800 Throne Gelt spent furthering the cause payment enough? When a week has passed, you feel that this world has come closer to True Change, but it cannot be denied that this may take awhile.

By the Emperor! Those formatting errors are hideous! /qst/, please forgive me, as this is my first time running a quest.

Is it possible to look through the cultists to see if any of them have psychic potential?

Maybe spend a little money to... pimp up our guys ? Nice clothes, good food... if we want to draw people in, we have to attractive.
A better life is quite the promess in a hiveworld !

>>844507
I'm not against this, but we don't wanna spend too much. We're still small. We need to establish first, make loyal minions a bit later.

>>844521
You are quite right, but i can't really see how to establish... weapon and training are good, but we're not following Khorne here. We have to blend within the society, be a part of it, then overtrow it and change it.
Being... visualy respectable is a first step and an important one i think.

>>844541
We can establish by making underworld and political connections, but I don't think we need to do that until after we've recruited for a bit more.

>>844401

Technically, yes, but Thoth only has a spark of power himself. Until his psychic abilities have advanced further, he won't be able to scan the cultists for psychic potential.

>>844345

If no-one minds my asking, how does one properly format text?

Also, what does everyone think of the quest so far?

>>844556
I don't think you can use HTML. You can green text for sure, unsing the mighty > but that's all i know... never had to format text on 4chan to be frank.

I love warhammer, i love the chaos... What could go wrong ?

So, for the week's events, I'll vote on Thoth training his psychic powers. For the cultists, I guess we can send them out to recruit and gain connections.

>>844572
>>844556
Well, I've seen some formatting on /qst/ before, but I'm not entirely sure on how to use it. Maybe put down a { instead of a [? I dunno.

Until now, you've simply let your followers wallow in rags. No more, you and your people are no Nurglite filth! Tzeentch's devoted shall be clothed in the finest fabrics mortal hands can produce, such is Tzeentch's will. You provide each of the truly devout cultists with 20 Throne Gelts, to provide themselves with more suitable clothing. [-770 Throne Gelts, +38 Fine Clothes]

You then give the Fanatics instructions to spread the word of Tzeentch, and to carefully construct a political foundation to build upon in the future. While the cult attempts to recruit new disciples and form new connections with the criminal underworld, you attempt to form connections with the powers beyond the veil.

*Recruitment Roll*

[9]

The cultists did an acceptable job overall, their fine clothing certainly helped, as did their promise of a better future. They managed to lure in 25 new members overall, though only 8 have seen the way.

[8 Unskilled Tzeentch Fanatics, 17 Doubtful Cultists]

[9]

The cult spreads its influence, slowly but steadily. 4 Unskilled Tzeentch Fanatics get jobs drug running for the Yhetti Klan. and for the Crimson Blades, another minor gang. 1 of the original drug runners gets promoted to running more, and more dangerous drugs.

[+4 Unskilled Tzeentch Fanatic Drug Runners, (+40 Throne Gelt Weekly Income)]
[-1 Unskilled Tzeentch Fanatic Drug Runner, +1 Street Smart Tzeentch Fanatic Senior Drug Runner, (+20 Throne Gelt Weekly Income)]

[14]

While the cult expands its influence, you practice the dark arts in the shadows of the cult's Hidden Sewer Lair. For several days, you meditate, muttering oaths and prayers to Tzeentch with every breath you breathe. Mentally reaching deeper and deeper into the Warp, you feel its power surround and fill you, but you are unable to reach out and touch it.

On the fourth day of the week, you inhale and feel the faintest shred of power come into your grasp, and in rapturous, fanatical joy you refuse to let it go. You grab more and more and more of the beautiful entropic might, and feel mightier than you've ever felt. Finally, when it feels as if you're going to burst, you exhale, and feel the power leave you all at once.

A glowing, ethereal gout of pink flame darts forth from your hands, faster than the eye can see, and a cultist is caught in the holy fires. She falls to the ground, shrieking in unspeakable agony as she bats at the flames and rolls in a panicked attempt to put out the fire, to no avail. You watch with glee as the Tzeentch's fiery wrath consumes her body, mockingly ignoring all attempts to extinguish its furnace-like heat. Three minutes later, the former cultist is burned to ashes, her corpse no more than cinders.

You stand after four days of meditation and bellow to your disciples, your voice echoing off of the sewer walls. "THIS IS THE POWER THAT TZEENTCH GIFTS ALL THOSE WHO SUBMIT TO HIS SANCTIFIED CHANGE! KNOW THIS, AND KNOW THAT HE WATCHES OVER YOU TODAY!"
(cont.)

The present cultists fall to their knees, uttering praises to Tzeentch. All traces of doubt are swept away. You feel more power than you've ever experienced within yourself, and you mutter thanks to your dark lord.

>>845158

Oops, typo. There are actually 56 cultists.

>>845158
Let's have the cultists keep spreading the good word of the dark gods while we keep delving deeper into the secrets of sorcery. We need a lot of rabble on our side if we want to overthrow a hive planet. At some point, we should scope out for higher positions within the underworld if we're able to.

>>845180
Also, let's attempt to get more assault rifles so that our entire militia can be armed.

>>845180
>>845183

Keep in mind, there is nothing binding you to Zerht.

>>845285
I didn't think so, but conquering a hive planet will surely bring us acclaim among the servants of the Ruinous Powers. That, or a couple dozen virus bombings.

>>845180
I am wandering if we can acquire any slannesh or nurgle cult allies. We wont be able to get along with the khorne cults due to our sorcery.

We could really use their help if we try to take overthrow a hive planet and we share a mutual enemy.

Come to think of it some chaos unaligned would also work and should we succeed on any of those three fronts we could use them as intermediary for khorne allies who no doubt would appreciate the fight when we reach critical mass.

...plus we could use them as meatshields should anything go wrong(while at the same time sparing the majority of cult besides the token sacrifices to make them think they won) and after the fighting is done why we just mop up! Its a win win!

>>845296
I don't think there are other chaos worshiping cults on this planet, at least. We could try and get a sort of supply line to other chaos cults nearby for meatwalls, guns, and other stuff that we need to set up here. I still think we need to get a good set up, first.

>>845308
>>845296
...Nearby as in neighboring star systems. My mistake, if that was confusing.

>>845296
Bah meant sparing the majority of our cult.

Also we gotta be prepared for traitorous minions out the ass. Fucking treacherous Tzeentch worshipers and their damned backstabbing worst of all the 4 chaos gods. Amazing we get anything done at all truth be told.

At least the khornites have the decency to try and usurp you directly with a fight. Possibly an unfair one from behind but still easier to deal with then treachery.

>>845285
We would still need a ship and space marines unfortunately are rather obvious.

>>845325
Just got to see this quest, but we are still a chaos space marine. With all the armor and training that implies. Our followers aren't gonna be a problem at this point. We can be wary of course, but we pretty much can crush any uprisings.

>>845374
We only have carapace armor. I think we needed to ditch our Blood Ravens power armor to escape, like a lizard does it's tail to evade predators.

>>845380
Where is that written? I didn't see it. Still, even without the armor, we are still like 7 feet tall with two hearts and we can, like chew through prison bars and shit with acid saliva. Space Marines be broken.

>>845411
Look at >>845158 in equipment. Blue Carapace Armor, (Worn)

>>845416
Ah damn. Okay. Still, we are a giant and more experienced in fighting. Add on our newfound fabulous napalm power...

>>845296
>>845308
>>845316

Keep in mind, Zerht is a very large planet, and many things go on in the shadows. You'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one other Chaos cult on the planet, though if there was they'd be nearly impossible to contact, as most sane cultists are extremely secretive.

>>845325

That, and most Warp-capable vessels are at least kilometer long.

A though comes to mind, you still haven't named the cult.

>>845325
>>845374
>>845380
>>845411
>>845416
>>845423

As for potential backstabbing, that will certainly be a problem in the future, but right now, the entire cult is made up of starving homeless people and drug addicts who have been given hope by a Godlike near-mythological figure. The cult almost worships Thoth as much as they do Tzeentch.

>>845450
Well anons, should we make a very open declaration of who we are as a cult or a more subversive one? We can call ourselves the Harbingers of change, the Brotherhood of hope, etc.

>>845461
I'd think a more subtle one. I don't think we want to openly parade ourselves as chaos worshipers, unless that's not exactly what you meant.

>>845527
I'm totally okay with subversive then. We can call ourselves Veritas. Means truth in latin, as in the worshippers of the truth.

>>845450
For nurgle cults we look around in places of sickness and hopelessness. Practically guaranteed to have a nurgle cult recruiter hanging around for obvious reasons. Have some of our more desperate fellows hang around in those haunts until we find some. Our best bet would be among the sleaziest of mutants. After that it wont take much to arrange a meeting given how nurgle cultists are the friendliest ones.

Slannesh is easy so long as we keep following the drug trade route. Eventually we'll encounter some of them and after that it wont be hard to arrange a meeting. Best be prepared to take part in some of their rituals as a gesture of goodwill thankfully they are...somewhat friendly. Maybe.

Khorne cults can be found in the blood thirstiest of gangs and underground arenas will be our best bet. Best to use intermediaries unless we encounter the near extinct reasonable khorne cultist. They are going to be the least agreeable lot to deal with by far.

In truth Tzeentch is the hardest cultists to find outside the scribes and techpriests who are both especially vulnerable to us now that I think of it. We can totally nab some techpriests because who else then Tzeentch will have the answers to their questions that they have such a hard time answering? The scribes are going to be a bit trickier to manage but should we convert some techpriests not only can their augments help mask mutation they can also help get us access to archives...

>>845454
Sounds like it wont be hard to run into a nurgle cult recruiter. They are just the type of people they like!

...Same with the slanneshi and the drug addicts admittedly. Amazing we actually managed to nab some but hey it makes our job easier for making contact with potential allies.

We could really use some allies.

>>845527
>>845534
Agreed.

>>845658
I don't think a Tzeentchian cult would get along all that well with Nurglite cultists considering the fact that they worship opposing gods. Honestly the only safe bet are slaaneshi and maybe khornate cults. As long as we have someone to point the khornates towards and as long as we have drugs for the slaaneshi, they'll probably remain sort of loyal.

>>845534
Agreed, this is a good name.

>>845158
Should focus on expanding and recruitment. Maybe is its possible we should look at getting some gang leaders onboard, minor ones to start with, but if we can get the leadership to turn, then we can control the organisations they lead.

>>845696
You forget khorne hates sorcerers...fuck that means we are stuck with the damned slanneshi for allies.

Those guys can be even more unreliable then khorne cultists...which would still be more reliable then our tzeentch cultists given all the backstabbing and chronic treachery.

Nurgle cultists would of made such good allies...I could of sworn it used to be Tzeentch and Khorne who hated each other.

Wow we are so fucked for allies later down the line including our own people. Even more so then now because we wouldn't be able to rely on the whole being a sphess marine as much.

>>845797
Undivided is our best bet I guess. Could always focus on pulling this planet into the warp though, go carefully enough and it might be possible to do it ourselves.

For now, we should try to... clean up our image, get most of our cultist to work in varied places.
Trying to get some techpriest right now is dangerous.
We can organise meditations using the drugs to get truth out of ou beloved god ! (and the cultist will love it !)

I like Veritas as a name to be frank !

Veritas does seem like a good name, but I think it's little to brief for a Tzeentchi Cult. How about Exquirentibus Veritatem, which means Truth Seeker in Latin?

>>845180
>>845183

So Thoth will continue training his newfound Sorcerous Power, while the cult recruits more followers, attempts to scope out higher positions in the criminal underworld, and attempts to to find more assault rifles?

Alright, I'll start writing the update, I'll wait another turn for you to decide on the name. Also, is my lack of Warhammer 40k lore knowledge showing? I've never actually played the tabletop or read any of the novels, but I've been enamored with the lore for quite some time now. Everything I've got so far is the byproduct of the Lexicon, the Fan-Wiki, and of course, 1d4chan, along with some improvisation.

You've only just begun your journey, and you cannot stop now. You give the cultists their orders and continue to meditate on the nature of the Ruinous Powers.

*Recruitment Roll*

[1]

The cult militia goes out preaching the word of Tzeentch at the top of their lungs in the streets, openly carrying their assault rifles and manage to bring in 30 new devotees among the lowest of the low! 21 of whom swear allegiance to Tzeentch at the sight of your admirable psychic power! It appears that they took your command to spread the good word of the dark gods a little too literally, hopefully this doesn't bite you in the ass later. The cult now numbers 86 men and women. Hopefully, the Lord of Change is pleased by the cult's devotion.

[19]

Meanwhile, you sit cross-legged in the Hidden Sewer Lair, constantly murmuring praises to Tzeentch as your mind reaches upward and outward, seeking the power to enact the Great One's will. For several days, you begin to feel as if you have been abandoned, but you scorn such thoughts and scour the Warp with renewed zeal. After three days and nights of nonstop prayer and meditation, Tzeentch rewards your efforts.

All of a sudden, your mind feels much sharper, and more independent than before, as if it wasn't a part of your body. In a flash of inspiration, you lock eyes with the nearest cultist, and thrust your mind into him. You both stand still for a few moments, before the cultist's eyes roll back into his head and he falls to the ground as if his consciousness was ripped away from him. You feel the faintest increase in power, and realize that you robbed the cultist of what little psychic energy his soul could muster. You're sure he'll be fine in a few days, after all, you didn't consume his soul.

This new ability seems somewhat limited, if it can only knock one man unconscious at a time, it'd be worthless in a fire fight. A few moments of thoughtful pondering brings you a sudden realization, if you engaged in battle with another Psyker, you could disable your foe's power and render him helpless! You speak to the assembled cultists, who watch you intently.

"ALL PRAISE BE TO TZEENTCH, TODAY HE HAS GIVEN ME THE POWER TO STRIKE DOWN ALL WHO WOULD OPPOSE HIS GRAND SCHEME! I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, AND IF YOU PERSEVERE IN YOUR DEVOTION, HE SHALL DO THE SAME FOR YOU!"

The cultist kneel before you, muttering in fervent prayer. You kneel, and can practically touch Tzeentch, such is his presence. Many of those who doubted openly swear their servitude to Tzeentch, and you feel a sense of pride, such as you have never felt before.

The Hidden Sewer lair is beginning to become somewhat crowded, as 86 cultists struggle to crowd into the chamber. Perhaps you should do something about that. You're beginning to become slightly concerned about the cult's spreading reputation, and realize that you haven't yet decided on an official name, though several ideas come to mind.

We should start working on converting the Yhetti Klan, and helping them with toppling other gangs

>>846164
We should search for a new hideout.
And name our cult
Also start training the militia more and get some more unskilled fanatics into drug running.

definitely a new hideout, try harder for unskilled cultists and gang integration for our members. Keep buying weapons and ammo, focus on ranged.

Maybe organize a small raid on a rival gang's turf?

>>846164
Can we now scour through the ranks for psychic potential or do we still need to learn how to not kill people with our mind before we can do the delicate stuff like that?

>>846196
>>846164
Also, quick question, but what do we do with the favor we have gained? What is it for?

>>846143

There are four planets in the Zerht system. Zerht 1, the planet closest to the sun, is a dead world but supposedly it is very rich in minerals, and home to several strip mining operations. Zerht 2 is a small and rapidly industrializing Shrine world that provides muc of the system's food. Zerht 3 is the hive world you 're currently on, apart from its many rusting hive archologies, festering slums, and high crime rate, there's not much not worthy about it. Zerht 4 is a fairly populous Feudal world that's beginning to go through its renaissance, in recent years, many hivers have begun to immigrate to Zerht 4. In another two or three hundred years it will likely be an Agri world.

>>846196

It is possible for Thigh to scan the cultists for psychic potential, but Thigh isn't skilled enough to do it rapidly, and it would take him a full week, as of now.

>>846220

Favor is a measurement of how far you've come in your devotion to Chaos and the worship of Tzeentch. When your Favor has reached a certain point, Tzeentch will grant you and/or your followers a Boon of some kind. Favor is gained by pleasing Tzeentch, blaspheming against the Emperor, and spreading Chaos.

>>846379

That was me.

>>846379
could we smuggle a couple cultists offworld to start a small operation on Zerht 4, like establishing a small outpost and twisting the faith of the feudal types to be more in line with the Architect of Fate.

At least start training and setting aside some resources for such if we can't move on it right now

Have the cultist convince the population that their isn't a group of Chaos worshipers in the I city

>>846393

That's certainly possible, though you'd have to acquire a ship capable of interplanetary flight, which would cost at least 30,000 Throne Gelts. Or you could try to stow away on a ship, or hijack one, or pay for passage. There's a lot of options and you likely wouldn't see any benefits for a while.

>>846436
ok, just start building up resources first, go with my earlier thought of raiding rival gang turf for goods we can sell, quick recruits, and weapons and armor we can keep. Also, valuable combat experience against underhivers

>>846443

I'll wait half an hour for votes, and I'll write the update when I get home.

>>846683

Again, that was me.

Theres gotta be some rich kids slumming it looking for entertainment, send some of the more charming cultists to convert them to the fun of Tzeentch, and keep them as plants in high society for later use

>>846734
Eh, I'll go along with this. Thoth can keep flexing his brain in the sewer, while we also stockpile our money for larger and hopefully less run down quarters. That'll help attract more cultists, too, depending on how shitty their own abode is.

>>846436
We should attempt to take one of the rival gang buildings to show our power and get another base. Assemble all of our men give the weapons to the trained ones and kill. Stay out of it ourselves we need to stay hidden.

>>846436
How about we steal a ship? We have the men, the power.

>>847465
No we don't we are shit tier right now

>>846690
How many of our poorly trained fanatics would you say one regular guardsmen could take down?

>>847850
well, considering that most of the cultists are unarmed, untrained drug addicts and homeless people, quite alot could be killed pretty easily.

>>848135
We should probably get back to training our cult, especially now that we have those Yehtti Clan dudes who can help us out

Is OP dead?

>>848571
I'll kill him if he is. I was fucking getting into this.

>>848193
This

We should set up some beliefs for our cult besides just worshipping Tzeentch and blaspheming against the Emperor. I've got a few ideas for our cult's philosophy:

> The cult pursues the Truth, the only Truth is Entropy, which is an aspect of Chaos. Therefore, the only Truth is Chaos, all else is Falsehood.

> The Truth is natural, and nature is the correct state of being. Therefore, Chaos is the only natural state of being. This can be seen throughout the universe, the atoms constantly move, and the galaxy itself is never stagnant.

> As Tzeentch is the Lord Of Change, he is the embodiment of The Truth. Tzeentch is the Truth, and the Truth is Tzeentch. The Truth is Holy, all other Gods and those who follow them forsake the Truth in pursuit of Falsehood.

> It is blasphemous against Truth to halt the spread of Chaos, and it is blasphemous to refuse to follow Tzeentch, as he is the embodiment of Truth.

> Blasphemy is an unforgivable insult against Reality, which is an aspect of the Truth. Blasphemers are misguided, and must be taught the way of Truth. The core of Chaos is free will, therefore, the core of the Truth is free will. As the Truth is infallibly sacred, the freedom to choose one's own fate is sacred and must be protected from those who seek to end the freedom of choice.

> Free will is sacred, and it is blasphemous against the Truth to force anyone to follow Tzeentch, as their Faith would be unnatural, and an insult in his sight. All True Followers of Tzeentch must choose to follow him of their own free will.

> All those who do not follow Tzeentch as the Truth are unnatural. Therefore, they are not sapient, as they have not yet realized their True nature. Until they have submitted themselves to the Truth, they are nothing more than animals, to be killed and used for the benefit of the True followers of Tzeentch.

> If one has not heard the Truth, they are not yet awawaken. They are to be taught the Truth and respected, as they may realize the Truth, and further the Truth, as is Holy and sacred in the eye of Tzeentch.

> If one hears the Truth, and sincerely submits himself to Tzeentch, he is to be welcomed with open arms and his awakening is to be celebrated.

> If one hears the Truth, and does not submit himself to Tzeentch, yet respects and acknowledges the merit of the Truth, his choice is to be respected, as he has merely exercised his free will as is natural, his denial is a part of Tzeentch's Holy Plan.

> If one hears the Truth, yet outright refuses it in favor of False Idols, he is no more than an animal, to be killed and used for the benefit of the True followers of Tzeentch.

> If any man opposes the Truth and seeks to limit the absolute freedom of anyone, he has committed an unspeakable blasphemy, and if he refuses to hear and accept the Truth, he is to be slain, and his corpse destroyed, to release his soul into the Holy Chaos of the Warp, where he will understand the Truth.

What do you guys think?

>>849089
All of them we will rhetoric them till there brains bleed out there ears.

>>849089
Sounds good. I was thinking that we should have some kind of creed so when our followers inevitably get into loggerheads with other sects they could say something other than "What Thoth said"

Also, have we decided on a name for the cult yet? I saw a lot of support for Veritas, but there were others who didn't quite like that name

i like the Truth, i like Veritas or Frateris de Veritas or something liek that

>>849148
Yeah Veritas Is my vote as well.

>>848571
>>848576

I am alive, and somewhat humbled by your enthusiasm to read my Quest.

>>849089
>>849140
>>849173
>>849197

So you all want to follow the Creed Of Tzeentch's Truth, and want to officially name the cult the Frateris De Veritas, with the word Veritas as the name of individual followers?

>>846169
>>846176
>>846188
>>846734
>>846767
>>847057

You want to further train the cult militia, focus on converting the Yhetti Klan, find a new hideout, expand your cult's drug running connections, raid a rival gang's turf, and attempt to recruit spoiled rich kids? I'll begin the update posthaste.

Though you yearn to further your power, you know you must guide your flock. It is dishonest to do otherwise. Wait a moment, dishonest, dishonest, honest, trustworthy, true? That's it! Tzeentch has guided your mind to this stunning epiphany: TZEENTCH IS THE TRUTH! By his holy name, how could you have overlooked something so obvious, so, profound!?! You must mediate on this, and that you do for two days, pausing for only instants to provide your followers with instructions.

[5][12]

While you meditated, the cult managed to enlighten a pair of desperate men. There is no shortage of such desperate men on Zerht 3, and the soil for Tzeentch's teachings is fertile. In addition, the cult spoke to a healthy, rich youth from the spires who was looking for entertainment with her bodyguards near to your abode. Though the youth didn't agree to visit a sermon of yours, she was obviously intrigued. Her servitor bodyguards didn't seem to hear anything.

[+2 Unskilled Tzeentch Fanatics]

> After two days of nonstop chanting of prayers and mentally touching the Warp, you've realized the Truth of Tzeentch, and of Reality itself! It is more beautiful than you'd ever imagined it would be!

You gather your cult to enlighten them with the Truth, and begin to speak.

"MY CHILDREN, HEAR ME WHEN I SPEAK! THE LORD OF CHANGE HAS SPOKEN TO ME IN MY DREAMS, AND HE HAS TAUGHT ME THE TRUTH! LISTEN CLOSELY, AND I SHALL TEACH YOU AS I MYSELF WAS TAUGHT!

(cont.)

As you softly utter these sacred words, the cultists listen, enraptured by the wisdom of your teachings.

"The cult pursues the Truth, the only Truth is Entropy, which is an aspect of Chaos. Therefore, the only Truth is Chaos, all else is Falsehood.

The Truth is natural, and nature is the correct state of being. Therefore, Chaos is the only natural state of being. This can be seen throughout the universe, the atoms constantly move, and the galaxy itself is never stagnant.

As Tzeentch is the Lord Of Change, he is the embodiment of The Truth. Tzeentch is the Truth, and the Truth is Tzeentch. The Truth is Holy, all other Gods and those who follow them forsake the Truth in pursuit of Falsehood.

It is blasphemous against Truth to halt the spread of Chaos, and it is blasphemous to refuse to follow Tzeentch, as he is the embodiment of Truth.

Blasphemy is an unforgivable insult against Reality, which is an aspect of the Truth. Blasphemers are misguided, and must be taught the way of Truth. The core of Chaos is free will, therefore, the core of the Truth is free will. As the Truth is infallibly sacred, the freedom to choose one's own fate is sacred and must be protected from those who seek to end the freedom of choice.

Free will is sacred, and it is blasphemous against the Truth to force anyone to follow Tzeentch, as their Faith would be unnatural, and an insult in his sight. All True Followers of Tzeentch must choose to follow him of their own free will.

All those who do not follow Tzeentch as the Truth are unnatural. Therefore, they are not sapient, as they have not yet realized their True nature. Until they have submitted themselves to the Truth, they are nothing more than animals, to be killed and used for the benefit of the True followers of Tzeentch.

If one has not heard the Truth, they are not yet awakened. They are to be taught the Truth and respected, as they may realize the Truth, and further the Truth, as is Holy and sacred in the eye of Tzeentch.

If one hears the Truth, and sincerely submits himself to Tzeentch, he is to be welcomed with open arms and his awakening is to be celebrated.

If one hears the Truth, and does not submit himself to Tzeentch, yet respects and acknowledges the merit of the Truth, his choice is to be respected, as he has merely exercised his free will as is natural, his denial is a part of Tzeentch's Holy Plan.

If one hears the Truth, yet outright refuses it in favor of False Idols, he is no more than an animal, to be killed and used for the benefit of the True followers of Tzeentch.
If any man opposes the Truth and seeks to limit the absolute freedom of anyone, he has committed an unspeakable blasphemy, and if he refuses to hear and accept the Truth, he is to be slain, and his corpse destroyed, to release his soul into the Holy Chaos of the Warp, where he will understand the Truth."

You pause, listening to the cultist's applause, before continuing.

"WE ARE THE DEVOTED OF TZEENTCH! WE ARE THE CHOSEN OF THE SCHEMING ONE! WE ARE SEEKERS OF TRUTH! WE ARE THE FRATERIS DE VERITAS, AND ALL AMONG US ARE VERITAS! THAT IS IN HIGH GOTHIC, WE ARE THE SEEKERS OF TRUTH! WE ARE THOSE WHO FIND TRUTH! WE, ARE, TRUTH!!!!!"

As you conclude your energized speech, echoes ringing off of the walls, you raise your chainsword over your head, revving it at the highest possible power. Such is the power of your emotion, the spinning blade is wreathed in Tzeentch's Holy Pink Flame. The cultists rip at their clothes, and scream the praises of the dark lord at the top of their lungs. You bellow praises to Tzeentch, and recite his Creed Of Truth.

[The cult has adopted the Creed Of Tzeentch's Truth!]
[The cult has been named the Frateris De Veritas, or, the Seekers Of Truth, in High Gothic!]
[+5 Favor]
[5/5 FAVOR WITH TZEENTCH HAS BEEN GAINED!]
[A BOON HAS BEEN GRANTED!]

You drop your blade, and fall to your knees, shrieking in agony as an unimaginable pain cuts through your very soul! You tear off your carapace armor, and your shouts of agony give way to shouts of praise! The Holy Mark Of Tzeentch has been burned into your skin, one over each of your two hearts! And not only that, they've been burned into your very soul! You feel as if you've awakened from a deep sleep, and have begun to unlock the arcane secrets of the warp itself! Your psychic power has doubled, and you feel that this is only the beginning of your journey!

[BOON GAINED: THE MARK OF TZEENTCH!]

You collapse, cryinh tears of rapturous ecstasy, shouting your infinite thanks to Tzeentch, awe-inspired that a God as True as he, would deign to bless you, a humble speck of dust on the annals of eternity, one among countless trillions. He has singled out you, for this great honor. You weep until you have fallen asleep from exhaustion, as does the rest of the cult. Your dreams are beautiful, and you gaze into a wondrous future.

>>849924
woah

>>849924
Holy Shit. This is gonna be one hell of a quest

The next day, you and the veritas awaken with renewed purpose. You immediately task the faithful with spreading Tzeentch's Truth to the Yhetti Klan, finding a new place of refuge for the many Enlightened Ones, and training the cult militia to purge those who would blaspheme against Tzeentch's blessed name.

[17+6=23]
((+6 due to Thoth's extensive military experience.))

As the week passes, the veritas militia hardens, in body, and mind. Their faith becomes unshakable, and the faintest doubt that Thoth isn't the prophet of Tzeentch is purged in their sweat, tears, and devotion. The militia train nonstop, praying to Tzeentch with every spare breath.

They gain admirable skill with their rifles. knives. and fists, and they gain a steely, unbreakable discipline. They're certainly not Elite, not by any means, but you're absolutely certain they would make piecemeal of any street gang they went up against. You could say without bragging that the militiamen are the equal the Planetary Defense Forces, and watching them drill fills you with pride.

[-30 Poorly-Trained Tzeentch Fanatic Militia, +30 Veteran Tzeentch Fanatic Militia]

[10]

The veritas sent to find a new place of rest for the frateris de veritas have managed to locate a cheap tenement apartment, willing to rent rooms at 50 Throne Gelt a month and not ask questions. You estimate that it would cost you at least 200 Throne Gelt a month to purchase lodging for the entire cult, it would be insufferably crowded, and worse, its not nearly isolated enough to conduct Holy Rituals to Tzeentch without being bothered. You thank the veritas for their efforts, and send them on their way.

[3]

A terrible tragedy has occurred, one of the cult's senior drug runners was shot and killed by a rival gang. Sadly, nobody was promoted this week, either.

[-1 Street Smart Tzeentch Fanatic Senior Drug Runner]

[7]

Your followers in the Yhetti Klan manage to spread the Truth to two more among the gang's newest recruits, but make little progress otherwise.

[+2 Yhetti Klanmate Gangbanger Tzeentch Fanatics]

[3]

A dozen of the Yhetti Klan were shot and killed by the Pipe Snakes, sparking a gang war. Perhaps your faithful should intervene? Its something to think about, to be certain. When you sleep, you awaken with a deep sense of ominous dread that lasts for a moment, and you wonder at the wisdom of expending militia lives for a street gang's sake.

The dark lord wills it. It shall be done.

>>850127
Approach some of the local guardsmen and Requisition their help in putting down the pipe snakes, while leveraging the Yhetti to inform us where to ht next.

>>850127
At the next big fight have your men back the Yhetti, and in the middle of the fight discreetly kill the Yhetti leader so the lieutenant can take over with the backing of our men

We may lose some militia members, but we will gain more followers among the Yhetti Clan and those impressed by our might. Also, those who survive will be stronger once they're blooded. We go to war in the Name of Tzeentch.

>>850216
I don't think that's such a hot idea. The leader of the Yhetti is sympathetic to our cause, enough to donate money. Instead of killing him, we could bring him to our cause. Other than that little detail, I'll vote for >>850236

>>850609
Yeah I think it would be best to try and get more cultists in the Yhetti first, as it is, I think we'd be better off waiting until more of them turn.

Good quest , will reread from start before joining. FOR CHAOS REEEEeEe

>>850127
>>850236
I agree with this, it matches my thoughts. try hard to convert them before we intervene.

Pay attention for rich noble or others that seem interested in the Truth, maybe look into renting a room at the tenement to start a soup kitchen or other "goodwill" building to start clandestinely spreading the Truth through aid to the poor since we can use more than muscle. Others hearing of our good deeds will be more willing to support us in the future, especially if we helped them personally.

>>851331

Sounds good, I agree. While we're waiting for OP to post, I've got a question.

> If you were a cultist in the Warhammer 40k universe, which of the Ruinous Powers would you worship, and why?

I'd go with Tzeentch/Slannesh, personally, as I'm a scheming, perfectionist bastard, and infinite pleasure and magical power both sound pretty awesome.

>>851444
Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!

>>851444
Chaos Undivided, i appreciate quite a few different facets of chaos, but not quite strong enough for any particular faction to take precedence.

bumping so this thread doesn't die

>>851444
I agree with >>851509, because the more balanced a group is, the better. But if I had to choose, I'd choose Tzeentch. Wisdom always beats physical power.

>>852072
B b b but blood for the blood god

>>851444

Papa Nurgle, easy. The other Gods are tempting, but Papa Nurgle is the only one who genuinely cares about his followers. That, and an immunity to pain and sickness would be *heheh* SICK, (get it?). Also, his Daemonnettes are fine, and I wouldn't have to worry about any STDs.

>>851444

Oh, Tzeentch, no contest.

>>850208

This is questionable, you'd need at least three votes before Thoth would consider such a course of action.

You want to help the Yhetti Klan wage war on the Pipe Snakes, and lead the Yhetti Klan to the acceptance of the Truth?

You also want to rent a room at the tenement apartments and start a soup kitchen to more effectively spread the Truth in secret, and increase the reputation of the cult?

Alright, I'm typing the update now.

Holy Changer of Ways, while this is a cool quest, the update times for this is awful.

Upon hearing of the death of one of your own at the hands of the Pipe Snakes, you are filled with an intense, cold fury. This is unacceptable, unthinkable that a hedonistic street gang could butcher an innocent follower of the Truth, only just beginning his sacred journey? No, this is not tolerable, blood must be shed, in recompense for the lifeblood of your disciple. Pipe Snake blood shall pour out in a wave, nay, a tsunami. It shall be testament to the power of The Truth, blessed be Tzeentch, and their bloodlines shall end. So you swear upon your soul in the sight of Tzeentch, so you swear in the sight of the Frateris De Veritas, and so you swear upon your own sacred honor.

Regrettably, you will be unable to exact vengeance yourself, rather, the cult militant shall cleanse the gutter of its worms. You have prepared them well, they are armed not only with the mortal implements of carnage, but also with a total faith in The Lord of Change, far stronger than any pagan devotion to a festering corpse on a gilded chair. Today, their training, your gift to them, shall be used to devastating effect against the hive scum. You are satisfied, and you recline in the Sewer Chambers, meditating on the intricacies of the Truth.

***

You are Jorgin Thesna, one of many recently enlightened in the way of the Truth by the holy words of the blessed prophet Thoth Talibah, Divine Orchestrator of the Architect's Will. Only a month ago, you were a homeless wretch, digging through dumpsters to survive, now, your life has purpose, and meaning beyond struggling to survive each day.

Blessed Prophet Thoth deemed you alone worthy of leading the Veritas Militia, the highest position you have ever had, and you are filled with pride when you see your devotion mirrored in your companions. Yesterday, a close friend of yours was shot in the back by a cowardly gang member while he was selling drugs to get money for the Veritas, and when you told blessed prophet Thoth, he explained the feeling of hatred and rage you felt toward the gangers.

You'd thought it was blasphemous against the Truth to want to kill the gangers, since they didn't insult Tzeentch, or follow the corpse god. He explained to all of you, you and 86 others, that the rage you felt was for a good reason. It was because the man that died had just found the Truth, and had just started to learn about it, and how, even though now he's in the Warp, experiencing the Truth in a way higher than anything you'll ever know in this world, his death was blasphemous.

When the gangers killed a follower of the Truth, they killed a vessel of Tzeentch that had been devoting himself to spreading the Truth. Because it's blasphemous to insult Tzeentch, it's a hundred times worse to actually try to hurt Tzeentch. Your dead friend was spreading the Truth and the praises of Tzeentch, and being killed for no reason interfered with Tzeentch's Grand Scheme, which meant that Tzeentch's progress was hurt.

(cont.)

>>854293
I think it fits the amount of detail put into it I'm ok with it. The wait is always worth it.

(cont.)

Which setback the spread of Eternal, Beautiful Chaos, which is the Truth. Since the progress of the Truth was halted, it's blasphemous that they killed your friend. Blasphemy is unforgivable, and the Pipe Snakes have forsaken any chance at redemption through Tzeentch's Truth. Which makes them subhuman animals, and since they killed a follower of the Truth, they're dangerous animals, which means that they need to be exterminated by the followers of the Truth. Which is where you come in.

The blessed prophet Thoth sure does talk a lot, but what he says makes so much sense! You've been training for two weeks, and are lucky enough to get to wield one of the cult's three lasguns in battle for Tzeentch, and you're going to put it to good use. The Yhetti Klan, some kind of drug dealing street gang, is rivals with the blasphemous gutter vermin Pipe Snakes, which makes them your friends, and five of them have been enlightened by the Truth, which makes them your friends twice! Even better, they're planning a gang war with the Pipe Snakes, because they killed a few other Yhetti drug runners.

The blessed prophet Thoth realized that their hatred towards the Pipe Snakes ties in perfectly with the veritas crusade against them that'll happen soon, and because it all works together so well, there's just no way that it can all be a coincidence, which means that the Architect of Fate planned it all from before the beginning of time! Which is undeniable proof of the Truth! How could you have been so blind before the blessed prophet showed you the way? You've got no idea!

Anyways, the blessed prophet Thoth already planned the Holy Crusade to purge the blasphemers with the leader of the Yhetti Klan beforehand. According to one of the Yhetti Klan's spies, the Pipe Snakes are having some kind of meeting at a warehouse in the slums, and all of their most important leaders and their best men are going to be there. Which makes it the perfect target, which means it was all planned by the Architect of Fate before the blessed prophet Thoth was even born!

You and 29 of your fellow Tzeentchian Truth-Seekers are gathered into an army, wielding your weapons. Everyone's got an Assault Rifle, and two have Lasguns, but a lot of the militant veridas brought their own stuff too, machetes, knives, and chains for whenever ammunition runs out. About 40 of the Yhetti Klan are here to. They look pretty tough, with all their leather, tattoos, and neon-colored Mohawks. Most of them are wielding Assault Rifles and Shotguns, but some of them have got Lasguns and frag grenades, and one guy's got a fucking flamethrower. All of those Pipe Snakes won't know what hit 'em, and it's gonna be awesome.

The veridas militia is standing in the parking lot of the Pipe Snake's abandoned warehouse, they've got three guys standing outside watching for any trouble, and if 60-plus fully armed men were able to sneak up on the warehouse undetected, they must be terrible at their jobs. (cont.)

(cont.)

The Yhetti Klan leader gives the signal, and the Yhettis run hooping and hollering at the warehouse! They gun down the sentries in about two seconds flat, and start slamming down their locked door. Nobody had any map of the warehouse, so there might be some side entrances the militia could sneak through, or not. Either way, the Yhettis are about the break the door off its hinges, and you've got decisions to make.

> How exactly should the veritas militia go about purging the blasphemers in the name of Tzeentch? (write-in)

>>854293

I'm a busy person, and I try to update when I can.

>>854356

Now I feel all tingly inside, and I don't think that it's just Warp corruption.

OK, brief change of pace with this update. Instead of strategically manipulating a cult from the shadows, you're going to be fighting a gang war from the point of view of a normie cultist.

Also, this thread is beginning to meet its end. How can I set up an archive for it so it isn't lost forever?

>>854408
Send a few men to scout around the warehouse while the rest support the Yhetti Klansmen at the door

Quickly find back entrances block most of them and attack from 2 of them. We will flank them and cut off there escape no survivors.

Will do.

I don't want this Thread to be lost to the ages. If you'll all pardon my ignorance, how can I set up an archive for it?

Send a third of the men onto the roof of the warhouse, perhaps there are windows looking down into the warehouse or perhaps there are other ways to flank the Pipe Snakes from above... One must think in three dimensions rather than the lowly two, especially in hive warfare.

Another third can go around the back, whilst the last third can join the Yhetti Klan assaulting the front...

You should join those going on the roof, the Veritas Militia shall make sure there are no survivors of the Pipe snakes...

Sadly, I can't figure out how the archive the thread, I've read the instructions, I'm just confused as to how to carry them out.
