Follower of Nar-Sie Профессия (на RU)	Доступ: Везде, где позволяет ваш доступ Дополнительный доступ При малом количестве сотрудников на станции : Везде, где находится руна телепортации Сложность: Нормальна Руководители: Нар`си, Мастер Культа Обязанности: Принесение в жертву цели культа и призыв Нар'си. Руководства: Этот гайд Цитаты: НАР`СИ ВОССТАЛ

"Самое старое и сильное чувство человечества — страх, и самый старый и сильный страх перед неизвестным."

Даже в далёком будущем, некоторые вещи останутся не до конца понятными. То, что скрывается во тьме космоса, неописуемый ужас перед древней силой, которая испепелит вселенную и воссоздаст её по своему образу. Их голоса доносятся из пустоты и настраивают простых смертных на то, что однажды они должны быть возвращены в наш мир.

К несчастью для станции, похоже что NanoTrasen случайно разместили станцию возле нестабильной слабой точки во времени и пространстве. Упс. Кто бы мог подумать?

Начало новой эры

Геометр крови Нар'Си отправила несколько своих последователей на Космическую станцию 13. Будучи культистом, вы имеете в своем распоряжении множество культовой магии на все случаи жизни. Вместе со своими братьями вы должны призвать аватар своей жуткой богини!

В начале Культового раунда на станцию прибудут несколько культистов. Когда вы появитесь, вы найдете в сумке ритуальный кинжал и 10 рун металла. Кинжал необходим для рисования рун, а рунный металл используется для создания ценных структур; Дополнительные руны из металла можно создать, используя способность «Twisted Construction»(Искривленные конструкции) на любой обычной пластали.

Культ преследует две основные цели. Первый — использовать руну «Предложение», чтобы принести в жертву Нар'Си определенную цель. Цель видна всем культистам, и часто ею является высокопоставленный член экипажа или офицер службы безопасности. После того, как цель принесена в жертву, Нар'Си можно призвать в одном из трех заранее определенных мест на станции, используя 9 культистов и/или конструктов и после 45-секундного процесса рисования руны. Если Нар'си призовут, Культ победит!

Краткое руководство культиста

Вы никогда раньше не играли за культиста и не оказывались в начале пути? Вот краткое описание самых важных аспектов:

• Комуникация: Самое первое, что вам нужно сделать, это найти место, где вы сможете побыть в одиночестве и поговорить со своими собратьями-культистами, используя свою способность Коммуны. Коммуникация передает сообщения всем остальным культистам, но любая находящаяся поблизости команда может видеть и слышать ваш шепот, потенциально раскрывая ваш культ. Поговорите со своими союзниками, узнайте, где все остальные работают и к чему имеют доступ, сформулируйте план и при необходимости спросите совета у старших культистов.
• Кровавая Магия: Щелкнув значок «Магия крови», вы можете подготовить до одного заклинания из множества магий крови. Подготовка заклинания занимает несколько секунд и оставляет на полу брызги крови, поэтому делайте это там, где никто не смотрит. Как только вы подготовите заклинание, щелкните его значок, чтобы «положить его в руку», и щелкните им цель, чтобы использовать его. Начнем с того, что самыми важными заклинаниями обычно являются Оглушение и Телепорт.
• База Культа: Используя Ритуальный кинжал, вы можете создавать руны у своих ног. Чтобы создать стартовую базу культа, найдите укромное и безопасное место и начните размещать руны. Самая важная руна — это руна Телепорта, которая позволяет любому культисту телепортироваться к ней, используя заклинание магии крови Телепорт или щелкая другую руну. Присоединяйтесь к общению, как только у вас появится руна телепорта в безопасном месте, чтобы другие могли присоединиться к вам. Убедитесь, что ваши руны не найдут люди, не относящиеся к культу!
• Руны: Затем поместите руну «Empower»; стоя на нем, вы сможете одновременно подготовить четыре заклинания магии крови. Наконец, руна «Offer» позволяет вам обратить других на вашу сторону, перетащив их на нее и нажав на нее пустой рукой. Для подношения требуется, чтобы два культиста и/или конструкции стояли у руны, поэтому убедитесь, что с вами есть друг, который может помочь. Есть и другие руны, но наиболее важными являются «Teleport», «Empower» и «Offer».
• Конвертирование: Как только у вас появится база, вы сможете начать предлагать. Стоя на руне «Empower», подготовьте «Stun», Shadow «Shackles» и два других заклинания; помните, что вы можете подготовить несколько «Stun» одновременно. Найдите члена экипажа, оглушите его, перетащите его в укромное место, заковайте его в кандалы, снимите с него гарнитуру, если база находится слишком далеко, затем перетащите его обратно к ней, поместите его на руну «Offer» и используйте ее с другом или встаньте и активируйте руну Духа рядом с ней. Конечно, если у вас есть возможность похищать людей без магии крови, смело используйте обыденные методы. Если у них нет импланта Щит Разума, они станут культистами; если они имплантированы, как служба безопасности или Главы Отделов, они взорвутся и оставят после себя камень души. Любой исход хорош для вас.
• Структуры: Используя культиста «Рунический металл» (получите больше, используя магию крови «Искривленная конструкция» на пластали), вы можете построить одну из четырех построек: пилоны, алтари, архивы и кузницы. Каждый культист начинает с достаточным количеством металла, чтобы построить 3 из 4 вариантов, поэтому, как только у вас будет основная база, убедитесь, что кто-то построил хотя бы по одному из каждого варианта, за исключением пилонов; пилоны лечат только культистов, а остальные три позволяют создавать полезные предметы, оружие и инструменты. Не создавайте предметы, если они вам не нужны; после того, как какой-либо предмет построен, эта структура восстанавливается в течение 4 минут. Если у вас есть металл, то построить несколько таких конструкций — неплохая идея.
• Конструкторы: Когда вы приносите в жертву имплантированного члена экипажа с помощью руны Предложения, он оставляет после себя осколок камня души. Создайте оболочку конструкции на алтаре, и вы сможете поместить в нее камень души, чтобы превратить душу внутри в конструкцию. Конструкты делятся на три типа: универсальные ремесленники, мощные джаггернауты и хитрые призраки-убийцы. Первым, кого вы создаете, почти всегда должен быть Ремесленник, поскольку он может создавать больше камней души и оболочки для конструкторов. Если камень души пуст, его использование на трупе попытается поместить душу трупа в осколок, и вы можете освободить душу как гораздо менее полезную тень, щелкнув ее в руке.
• Громко, очень громко, совершенно громко: Если только ваши культисты не будут (не)божественно талантливы и удачливы, вы в конечном итоге будете пойманы. Либо кто-то проскользнет, кто-то найдет вашу базу, либо ваш культ станет настолько мощным, что его невозможно будет скрыть (красные глаза, затем темный нимб). Как только вы поймете, что джиг готов, начните играть более агрессивно; разместите дополнительные руны телепорта и мини-базы вокруг станции на случай, если на ваше главное убежище совершят набег, сделайте больше силовых ходов, чтобы обратить или убить членов экипажа, и найдите какой-нибудь способ убить или подорвать ИИ, если это еще не было сделано.
• Призыв Нар'си: Первый шаг к фактическому вызову вашего темного бога — предложить ей желаемую цель, случайно выбранную в начале раунда и показанную в правом верхнем углу экрана. Используйте командную работу и сотрудничество, чтобы уничтожить их, перетащить на свою базу и принести в жертву. Как только они будут предложены, их значок заменяется списком из трех мест, где можно вызвать Нар'Си. Отправляйтесь туда, укрепите локацию, в идеале пусть ваш Мастер культа использует «Последний расчет», чтобы привести весь культ к месту призыва, и начните рисовать последнюю руну. Запомни руна «Apocalypse», это не призыва Нар`си. Для рисования руны Нар'Си требуется область 3х3, занимает 45 секунд, руна окружается силовыми полями и сообщает всей станции, где это происходит, так что сделайте свой последний бой против того, что осталось от членов экипажа! Если вы можете продержаться достаточно долго, чтобы закончить руну, попросите 9 культистов и/или конструкций встать на нее (используйте кнопку «rest», чтобы лечь и освободить больше места), щелкните по ней пустой рукой, и Нар'Си будет вызван, что принесет вашему культу победу!

The Cult Master and You

The Cult Master is the leader of your cult, the main driving force behind your goal to summon Nar-Sie. The Cult Master has access to a wide variety of abilities to assist the cult in achieving its goals. Make sure to protect and serve him/her at all costs, as they are the key to the cult success!

IMPORTANT: The Cult Master is the only one capable of using the Final Reckoning, a single-use, extremely powerful ability suited for ending the round. It's highly recommended that a Cult Master not be selected until the cult is established; in fact, many cults choose not to pick a leader until they're ready to summon Nar'Sie.

So, how does one become the Master?

When the round first starts, an additional button along with your Commune verb will be available. The "Assert Leadership" button will allow you to apply for the Cult Master status. Once a member of the cult asserts their leadership, an announcement will be made to all cultists. After a few seconds, a vote will be called where the cult can vote whether or not they want that person as the Cult Master. If the vote passes, the player will gain the Cult Master's abilities. If you are not the Master, make sure to follow his/her orders, as they are now your superior!

Being The Master of Wrist Cutting

So, you asserted your leadership and won the vote of the cult. Congratulations on your promotion to Cult Master! I hope you know what you are doing. If you have experience playing as a department head this shouldn't be too different, minus the killing and summoning elder gods part.

To summon Nar-Sie, you are going to need to keep organized and grow your numbers as much as possible while remaining hidden. As the Cult Master, your Commune power is enhanced, making all of your messages large and bolded just like when you use a megaphone. This will assist greatly in organizing the cult, as the other cultists will be able to easily see your messages among the common radio rabble.

Here is a quick reference guide on what you should be doing as the Cult Master:

1. Determine a hidden, easily defendable location for your cultists to congregate. They will need a place to create runes and structures to assist the cult.
2. Beat back and silence any potential злоумышленники to your hideout.
3. Stay back and relay information and orders with use of the Spirit Realm rune, and let your головорезы handle the dirty work. Make sure to have a Medbot, Pylon or some other source of healing nearby so you don't drain your life completely.
4. Staying at the base helps you reach the two-cultist requirement you need to convert someone. When a fellow cultist manages to snag and send back an unconverted crewmember, you will be there to bring them into the cult.
5. While around your base, it is recommended to create items from the Altars and Forges to have a fresh supply of equipment ready when everyone needs it at once. Nobody likes waiting around the Forge because someone made a single set of armor and ran off.
6. Lead your brethren into battle when the time comes to face the crew head on!
7. Use your unique powers to move things around, target foes for your fellow cultists and use the Final Reckoning when you are ready to summon Nar-sie herself!

In the end, you call the shots. Your cult doesn't have to be run like this; experiment and find what works and doesn't! Even if you lose (odds are you will lose... a lot), you'll be better prepared for the next time the Cult of Nar-sie needs a leader.

Cult Master Powers

As the Cult Master, you have access to a handful of powerful and versatile occult powers to assist you and the rest of the cult. These powers can be accessed from the HUD on the top left. The powers are as follows:

	Name	Description	Cooldown
	Final Reckoning	A single-use spell that brings the entire cult to the master's location. You cannot use this spell in an area where Nar'Sie can be summoned. Still useful for when it's time to summon Nar-Sie and you need the whole cult nearby to help defend and invoke. Please note that this is a one-use ability. If you use it at the wrong time you can't try again.	One Use
	Mark Target	Marks a designated player target that you select with your cursor for the cult to be marked as top-priority for 90 seconds. Successfully marking a person sends a message to the entire cult, giving the name and location of the target. Useful for calling your entire cult to attack a specific target. After using this ability, it goes on a 120-second cooldown.	120 Seconds
	Eldritch Pulse	Seize upon a fellow cultist or cult structure and send it through time and space to a nearby location on your screen. A very versatile ability with many potential applications. Teleport a cultist into the armory! Teleport cultists into inaccessible areas! Teleport cultists and structures away from harm! Teleport cultists behind a security raid to flank them! Limitless potential! After using this ability, it goes on a 15-second cooldown.	15 Seconds

The Ritual Dagger

Your dagger is your most important tool and has several functions:

• You can draw runes with it.
• Hitting a cultist with it removes Holy Water from them.
• Hitting a non-cultist with it will result in you stabbing them (huh), dealing 15 armor-piercing brute damage.
• Hitting runes with it removes them.
• Hitting cult structure with it will unanchor and anchor them, allowing you to move them around.
• Hitting a runed girder with it will disassemble the girder.
• Has 25% chance to block melee attacks.

If you're in a position that would usually wander the halls, try to seek out your fellow cultists in person. If not, check in with your brothers using your Commune verb, but do this in private, to prevent people from hearing your whispers. A lot of jobs have access to isolated areas of the station that are great for this, and there's also space. Remember, if you get caught, you endanger the entire cult.

Blood Spells

Blood Spells are limited-use blood magic spells that dissipate after they're spent, and they're your bread and butter when fighting the crew. Blood Spells can be created at any time via an action button that appears below your character. However, blood spells created without an Empowering Rune will take longer, cause significant blood loss, and will cap your spell count at a measly one. Using an Empowering Rune circumvents this issue and allow you to acquire up to 4 spells. You can use an Empowering Rune to remove these spells as well to free up room for others if need be.

A good tip is to make sure to try and have a stun spell and a teleport spell with you to escape risky situations. This will leave only two other options for spells though, so carefully choose what you think might help best for a particular situation.

How to use and unequip blood spells

After carving a spell into your flesh you get an action button on your hud. Click it and that spell will be equipped to your hand, like an item. Then you either activate it in your hand and/or use it on a target, depending on which spell you've chosen. To unequip the spell, press Q (works on /tg/ since Aug 2019) or click the same action button again. This will save the spell for later.

List of Available Spells

Name	Description	Health Cost/No. of Charges
Stun	A potent spell that will stun and mute victims. Simple, clean, and quite effective for a plethora of situations. Paralyzes for for 16 seconds, mutes for 12 seconds and cult-slurs speech for 30 seconds (from the stun moment). If used on a cyborg it stuns it as if hit by a heavy EMP. Heretics are immune. While slurring cult-speak, victims will speak in a disturbing, incomprehensible way. This is usually a dead giveaway that a Cult is onboard when shouted over the radio (unless the Bartender has been handing out way too many Narsours).	1 charge, 10 HP
Teleport	A useful spell that teleports cultists to a chosen destination with a teleport rune on contact. You can teleport other cultists or yourself if need be.	1 charge, 7 HP
Electromagnetic Pulse	A large spell that allows a user to channel dark energy into an EMP (range 5), causing all electronics in the area to malfunction or be disabled.	1 charge, 10 HP
Shadow Shackles	A stealthy spell that will summon shadowy handcuffs on a person, and temporarily silence your victim for 10 seconds. Used for keeping crew restrained until they can be converted. The restraints will diseappear if the victim is converted.	4 Charges
Twisted Construction	A sinister spell used to convert: Plasteel into Runed Metal. 50 Metal into a Construct Shell. Cyborgs directly into Constructs. Cyborg shells into construct shells. Airlocks into Brittle Cult Airlocks when on Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. . A weaker version of Runed Airlocks.	1 Charge, 12 HP
Summon Ritual Dagger	Enables you to summon a ritual dagger used to draw runes, in case you lost yours or forgot to pick it up from the floor when you got converted. Activate the spell and then click yourself.	1 Charge
Summon Combat Equipment	A crucial spell that enables you to summon a full set of combat gear including a black jumpsuit, armored robes, a cultist hood, cultist boots, a trophy rack, a Nar'Sien bola, and a spare ritual dagger. Activate the spell and then click yourself. If you are already wearing items in those slots you will only summon the dagger and bola.	1 Charge
Hallucinations	A ranged yet stealthy spell that will break the mind of the victim with nightmarish hallucinations. In practice its useless af.	4 Charges
Conceal Presence	A multi-function spell that alternates between hiding and revealing nearby runes and cult structures. You can still teleport to concealed teleport runes and prepare blood magic on concealed empower runes. Will make runed airlocks look like basic maintenance airlocks but only cultists will have access. Has a range of 5 tiles. It can trick even the better of the crew into thinking there is nothing in your base.	10 Charges
Blood Rites	A unique multi-function spell that allows you to gather blood from the floor, or from live victims (50 per drain). Then, you can expend the blood to heal yourself or others. Or, you can use the spell in hand to perform a handful of powerful offensive magic attacks: Blood Spear (150) summons a robust two-handed blood halberd that deals 24 brute and can be recalled to your hand from up to 10 tiles away if it has a clear path back to you. The blood halberd can also be thrown, which causes it to shatter, deal 40 brute and stun whoever it hits. It will only shatter if it hits someone. Blood Bolt Barrage (300) temporarily grants you the ability to launch several powerful projectiles from your hand, similar to the Wizard's arcane barrage. This spell is easier to cast with both hands free since you switch hands after each shot. Each shot deals 20 brute damage and you get 25 of them. Very usefull against very big targets aka mechs and the Captain's ego. Blood Beam (500) will cause you to start channeling a powerful ritual. Once the channel is complete, you will launch a series of projectiles in a cone in front of you. These projectiles pierce through structures and will convert any walls, floors, airlocks, and windows they pass through into their cult variant in addition to damaging any non-cultists they pass through. Cultists hit will be induced with unholy water, which heals them. Can be blocked by blessed tiles.	5 Charges

Runes

The Ritual Dagger allows you to scribe any of these runes, using Scribe Rune. Simply pick the rune you want, and wait until completion. Scribing a rune deals minor damage, since you need to cut your wrists to get the necessary blood. Activate a rune by clicking on it.

Name	Description	Invokers Required	Phrase	Rune
Offering Rune	Instantly converts a normal crewmember on top of it to the cult, healing them for 75% of their brute and burn damage, and spawning a ritual dagger when two cultists stand around the rune. Mindshield-implanted crew cannot be converted, only sacrificed, and need 3 cultists to stand around the rune (but constructs are no less dangerous than humans). - therefore it is recommended that you quickly finish off security victims before their radio or suit sensors can give you away! If the target is dead, ineligible for conversion or is the required sacrifice target, they'll be sacrificed instead, gibbing them and creating a Soulstone Shard that can be used to power a construct.	1 to sacrifice dead targets, 2 to convert, 3 to sacrifice the objective or living targets	Mah'weyh pleggh at e'ntrath!
Empowering Rune	Allows cultists to prepare greater amounts of blood magic at far less of a cost. While standing on an empowering rune, the spell count is capped at 4 instead of 1. Additionally, preparing blood magic takes far less time, and you don't lose as much blood while doing it.	1	H'drak v'loso, mir'kanas verbot!
Teleport Rune	This rune warps everything above it to another teleport rune when used. Creating a teleport rune will allow you to set a tag for it. Warning: Teleporting from Lavaland or Space will make the destination rune glow brightly and open a rift in reality that may not only reveal the rune, but the location of your main base as well, choose your rune locations wisely!	1	Sas'so c'arta forbici!
Revive Rune	Whenever someone is sacrificed on a Convert rune, they add one (global) charge to this rune. Placing a cultist corpse on the rune and activating it will bring them back to life, expending a hefty three charges in the process. It starts with one freebie revival, so use it sparingly. Catatonic(disconnected/ghosted) cultists can be reawakened with a new soul by putting them on the Revive rune and activating it. This method of revival does not consume any charges.	1	Pasnar val'keriam usinar. Savrae ines amutan. Yam'toth remium il'tarat!
Barrier Rune	When invoked, makes a 5-minute invisible wall to block passage. Can be invoked again to reverse this. Costs 2 brute both to invoke and to deactivate. Has 100 health and the rune is destroyed if the barrier is destroyed.	1	Khari'd! Eske'te tannin!
Summoning Rune	This rune allows you to instantly summon any living cultist to the rune, consuming it afterward. This rune will only work on the station, but can grab cultists from almost any location! Does not work on restrained cultists who are buckled or being pulled.	2	N'ath reth sh'yro eth d'rekkathnor!
Blood Boil Rune	When invoked, it saps some health from the invokers to send three damaging pulses to any non-cultist who can see the rune, causing 25/50/75 damage split evenly between brute and burn. When the effect is over the rune will briefly set fire to anything over it. Some species, such as golems, do not have blood, and thus are immune to this rune. People with magic immunity will be unaffected.	3	Dedo ol'btoh!
Rune of the Spirit Realm	This rune gives you two powerful options: (1) To manifest ghosts as semitransparent homunculi, which are effectively weak, humanoid cultists with no self preservation instinct. To sustain these homunculi, you must remain on the rune, and each homunculi you have summoned will deal brute damage over time. This option is only available on the space station itself, as the veil is not weak enough in space or Lavaland to give spirits a physical form. If you get stuck on the rune after summoning a ghost, use your ritual dagger to remove the rune before you get hurt too badly. (2) To ascend as a dark spirit. This option will give you virtually unlimited knowledge. You can use information given to you by ghosts in this form, commune with the cult with your booming voice, and even mark a target that will be "pinpointed" for the rest of the cult. You can even use this function after manifesting ghosts to help guide them in combat - manifested ghosts can also see regular ghosts and therefore can see your dark spirit as you lead them in battle!	1	Gal'h'rfikk harfrandid mud'gib!
Apocalypse	A harbinger of the end times. It scales depending on the crew's strength relative to the cult. Effect includes a massive EMP, unique hallucination for non-cultists, and if the cult is doing poorly, certain events. Similar to the Ritual of Dimensional Rending, the Apocalypse rune can only be scribed in one of the 3 ritual areas. After the Apocalypse rune has been scribed, that particular ritual area can no longer be used to summon Nar-Sie. If the cult makes up <15% of current players, and an apocalypse rune is scribed, a D100 is rolled If 1 - 10: Disease Outbreak + Mice Migration If 11 - 20: Radiation Storm If 21 - 30: Brand Intelligence If 31 - 40: Immovable Rod x3 If 41 - 50: Meteor Wave If 51 - 60: Spider Infestation If 61 - 70: Localized hyper-energetic flux wave, Gravitational anomaly, Pyroclastic anomaly, Localized high-intensity vortex anomaly If 71 - 80: Space Vines, Grey Tide If 81 - 100: Nar'sian Portal Storm	3	Ta'gh fara'qha fel d'amar det!
Ritual of Dimensional Rending	This rune tears apart dimensional barriers, calling forth the Geometer. It needs a free 3x3 space, and can only be summoned in 3 areas around the station. To start drawing it the requested target must have already been sacrificed. Starting to draw this rune creates a weak forcefield around the caster and alarms the entire station of its location. The caster must be defended for 45 seconds before it's complete. After it's drawn, 9 cultists, constructs, or summoned ghosts must stand on the rune, which can then be invoked to manifest Nar'Sie itself.	9	TOK-LYR RQA-NAP G'OLT-ULOFT!!

Structures

By using a construction talisman on platsteel, you are able to get runed metal. With it, you can build several structures, with unique powers. You can unanchor cult buildings by hitting them with your ritual dagger. Using "Conceal Runes" near these structures will make them turn invisible, and make runed doors look like regular airlocks.

	Name	Description	Cost
	Altar	A bloodstained altar dedicated to Nar-Sie. By using it, you are able to create an Eldritch Whetstone, to sharpen your weapon, a Construct Shell, or a Flask of Unholy Water which heals cultists and greatly reduces stuns, or can be thrown to poison non-cultists. After creating one item with the altar it needs 4 minutes to recharge.	3 runed metal
	Forge	A forge used to craft the unholy weapons used by the armies of Nar-Sie. By using it you are able to create a True Nar'sian Hardened Armor; a hardsuit with no slowdown, Flagellant's Robe; which makes you faster, but at the cost of increasing damage taken by 45%, and a 30 damage eldritch longsword. The eldritch longsword fits in the suit storage slot of every type of cultist armor and has 50% block chance. After creating one item with the forge it needs 4 minutes to recharge.	3 runed metal
	Pylon	A floating crystal that slowly heals those faithful to Nar'Sie. Also slowly turns the surrounding floor into engraved floor. Engraved floors allow for significantly faster rune scribing and will resist changes in atmosphere (i.e. loss of air or release of a harmful gas).	4 runed metal
	Archives	A desk covered in arcane manuscripts and tomes in unknown languages. Looking at the text makes your skin crawl. By using it, you are able to create a Zealot's Blindfold, which lets you see in the dark, gives you a medical hud, and is flash proof, Veil Shifter (from veil walker set), a 4 use teleporter which teleports you (and anything dragged by you) forward a medium distance (with some randomness), a Void Torch (also from veil walker set) which lets you teleport objects to other cultists, or a Shuttle Curse, which when used, delays the escape shuttle for 2 minutes. You can only use a certain amount of shuttle curses each round. After creating one item with the archives it needs 4 minutes to recharge.	3 runed metal
	Runed door	Builds a Runed Airlock. Only opens for cultists. Useful securing your base, but a dead giveaway that a cult is onboard. Non-cultists who attempt to use these airlocks are stunned and thrown back.	1 runed metal
	Runed girder	A wall girder that can instantly be disassembled with your ritual dagger.	1 runed metal

Constructs

Robust cultists will likely want to enlist the services of a few constructs. To create a construct, a cultist requires:

• A filled soul stone, either by sacrificing a human, or capturing a soul manually with a stone from an artificer.
• An empty shell, either by casting Twisted Construction on 50 metal sheets, from an artificer, or from an archive.

When the filled soul stone shard is used on an empty shell, the cultist will be allowed to choose the desired construct to create. Keep in mind these guys are pretty much a dead giveaway that there is cult activity on the station, so try to be covert about it in the beginning.

A complete guide to constructs can be found here. Artificers will poop out new Soulstone Shards and Shells, wraiths can kill the AI, and Juggernauts are great tanks.

The Inevitable Discovery

As the cult rises in power, you and your brethren will begin to undergo some revealing effects caused by the power gained due to the number of members you have in the cult. This will make you easier to spot by unfriendly crewmembers, and after a certain point, there will be no way to hide from the crew. You'll have to make a stand and fight off the rest.

The veil weakens as your cult grows, your eyes begin to glow...

• Once the blood cult reaches 20% of the active player population, everyone in the cult will receive a notice that the cult is "rising" - and after a moderate delay, the eyes of all existing and new cultists will be permanently red. Examining any cultist with uncovered eyes will confirm their supernatural appearance. Thankfully, this is easily avoidable by wearing any form of eyewear, but still could get you caught out if people are examing you closely without eyewear.

Your cult is ascendant and the red harvest approaches - you cannot hide your true nature for much longer!!

• Once the blood cult reaches 40% of the active player population, everyone in the cult will receive a warning and after a moderate delay will gain a blood-red cult halo, permanently revealing the identity of existing AND new blood cultists. There is no way to hide this one. If you've managed to get this far, you should have no problems defeating the crew in a head-on battle if you can deal with Security.

Threats to the Cult

Even with access to a large number of different runes and spells, there are ways that your plans may be thwarted by the station's crew. Keep your eye out for these groups of individuals, as they can put a dent in your occult activities.

Офицеры СБ and the Священник

Even the best-prepared cultists will have trouble to defend themselves against the united power of security. Especially if the Chaplain Helps them. The Chaplain is able to turn normal water into Holy Water (by slapping its container with a bible), which will turn cultist back into normal people if it stays long enough in their system. The Chaplain is also immune to cult magic and conversion, and his bible is able to make hidden runes visible. The bible can also be used by anyone (not just the Chaplain) on a filled Soul Shard to purify it, which deconverts the shade inside.

Cultist Tips

• You can solo convert non mindshielded crew by using a Spirit Realm rune and summoning a cult ghost.
• Cultists can know a rune's name and effects by examining it.
• Your dagger is a robust melee weapon with 15 damage and good armor-piercing, it can also be sharpened to further increase its lethality. The dagger also serves as an excellent last resort as it deals 25 damage when thrown.
• Always be ready to summon a cultist in trouble. Stunned or restrained cultists cannot call for help on the cult communion, so keep an eye on the Common channel. If you see a cultist being arrested be sure to report it in communion so they can be rescued before its too late! You can also use the spirit rune to check for cultists in trouble or ask ghosts for the location of dead cultists to revive.
• Spirit Sight is an incredibly powerful exploration tool, and ghosts can give you precious hints.
• The chaplain's weapon makes them immune to most of your magic. Don't attempt to use stun spells on them while they have their weapon, or you will get discovered and likely killed.
• Keeping a shade in a Soulstone Shard with you will allow you to use two-person runes by yourself, by releasing and then recapturing the shade.
• Shades can ventcrawl around the station (alt-click).
• Cultists often find a use for medibots. Having a single bot with a low threshold, backed up by brutepacks or pylons, can keep your cult in fighting shape.
• Get some plasteel either from mining, stealing it from robotics, engineering or EVA storage, or deconstructing reinforced walls/tables if you are desperate. The AI satellite even contains some spare plasma and metal that you can use to produce plasteel (if you can convince it to let you in.)
• The EMP spell and Apocalypse Rune are both incredibly useful. They can give you access almost anywhere, just don't forget your crowbar!
• Manifest Spirit is also useful for getting those missing cultists you need for the Nar'Sie rune.
• A construct can quickly take down an AI. The best one to do the job is the Wraith. It can jaunt into the core and take the AI down before the crew can respond.
• Drawing a rune on a cult floor is 50% faster than on a normal floor (except the Nar-Sie rune).
• If the Harvesters bring enough people to Nar-Sie you may or may not get a special ending.
• You may be tempted to try converting the Free Golems down in mining but be warned, Adamantine Golems are anti-magic and your spells will not work on them, similarly, Silver and Cloth Golems are Holy and will also be immune to your conversion.
• Use the conceal presence spell on a teleport rune to create a hidden teleport destination, perfect for safely escaping to.
• Blood gathered from the blood rites spell can heal cultists instantly. You can also sap 50 units of blood directly from living people.

Nar-Sie

Once you've completed the ritual, Nar-Sie will come forth.

Her destructive power is unmatched, transforming the bodies of the unenlightened and twisting the very walls to suit her image.

Few things are capable of challenging Nar-Sie's sheer power.

How to Fight A Blood Cult: A Guide for the Common Spaceman

The Cult of Nar-Sie may be a formidable group of wrist-cutting lunatics, but not to fear! There are ways that you as a normal crewmember can either fight or stay safe from their occult influence. Here are some suggested courses of action if you are a non-cultist and care for your well being:

Chaplain

The Chaplain is immune to conversion and is able to turn normal water into Holy Water, which can deconvert cultist back into normal people. With a Null rod in inventory, the Chaplain is also immune to cult magic. The bible is able to make hidden runes visible. You are not immune to being sacrificed.

When cult activity is confirmed: Make sure you have your Null rod weapon and Holy Book with you. Grab a water tank, bless it with your book so it turns into holy water, and drag the tank to the brig. The brig is now your home. You are a primary target for the cult, and will sometimes also be their sacrificial objective.

(Optional) when brig has holy water secured: Grab a Fire Extinguisher from a wall. Empty it and fill it with holy water. You can use it to start blessing tiles, which blocks Blood Beams and prevents Wraiths from jaunting over them.

(Optional) if the AI has not been moved: Have the AI let you into its chamber, so you can bless it. Many cults will kill the AI early, by constructing a Wraith. The wraith can easily jaunt in, appear right in front of the AI and kill it. You can prevent this by blessing most tiles in the AI's chamber.

When you are safe in the brig: You can cooperate with security and stick close to them. Hopefully, they will treat you with respect in return and give you some gear. If the time comes, you may then choose to be the vanguard in the final battle against the cult.

Purified Soulstones and Constructs

Anyone (not only chaplain) can purify a soulstone shard with a bible, and then put it into a found construct shell to create purified constructs, which will help the crew.

Служба безопасности

Even the best-prepared and robust members of the Cult will have trouble defending themselves against the united power of security, especially if the Chaplain helps them. Your job is to deconvert (or kill if necessary) cultists, find and crack down on cult bases, and destroy constructs. Remember: the safety of the station and its staff are on the line, and it's probably your fault if you fail.

How to Deconvert a Cultist with Holy Water

Step 1: Find a suspected cultist. If less than 20% of the crew are converted they will look like normal crew, so you will have to look for people who are behaving suspiciously or are caught standing near runes. Small brute injuries on one arm or isolated blood spills in someone's workplace could also be signs. If you know that more than 20% of the crew are (or at some point were) converted to the cult, you should ask suspected crewmembers to take off their eyewear. When examining a cultist a red text will then say "his/her eyes are glowing an unnatural red!". If more than 40% of the crew is (or was) cult, you will also see pentagram halos above their heads.

Step 2: Arrest the suspected cultist. Disable/stun and cuff, like any other criminal. As long as cuffed cultists are either held or buckle-cuffed to a chair, they can not be teleported away by their fellow cultists. Take them to the interrogation room.

Step 3: Check the suspect's bag for a ritual dagger (or other cult items). The cult might still be too small to have glowy eyes. Lock it away so it can't be used to stop deconversion, in case a prisoner resists out of the cuffs. Take off any cult gear as well, as they might hurt the prisoner after deconversion if worn. Remember to check EVERYWHERE. Some cultists may be hiding their gear in more discreet locations on their person. A good one to watch out for is if they have hidden their dagger in their boots if they are wearing Jackboots or Workboots.

Step 4: Force feed the confirmed cultist at least 25 units of Holy Water. Use 30 units to be safe. Each sip contains 5 units. It takes exactly 60 chemical ticks (about 2 minutes or less) to deconvert a cultist. After 25 ticks (about 50 seconds or less) the cultist will have a 20% chance per tick to spout random cult sentences which, when it happens, also has a 10% chance to cause 12 seconds of unconsciousness. Stunbaton or flash the prisoners every now and then to make sure they don't resist out of the cuffs. The holy water will instantly clear out blood rites and blood spells.

Step 5: Щит Hазума the cultist. Mindshield implants will not deconvert cultists, but they will prevent them from being converted/reconverted. They can still be sacrificed and turned into constructs though. Офицер СБ and the Капитан are implanted by default.

Like with Революционеры, you will see a big purple message when a nearby person is deconverted: "-Name- looks like he/she just reverted to his/her old faith!"

Deconverted cultists do not keep their memories from their time in the cult.

If Shit Hits the Fan

If you start seeing pentagram halos you might not have time to arrest and deconvert anymore. Team up, gear up with your weapons of choice, and start blasting people with halos. If the situation feels under control again then go back to deconverting.

Here are some tips and tricks for security:

• Mirror shields can instantly shatter, stunning their users, if hit by a shot that does 30 damage or more. Many types of shotgun ammo, such as slugs, should do the trick.
• Zealot's Blindfolds protect against flashes, but not against bangs. Use светошумовые гранаты.
• Consider arming deconverted and implanted former cultists. They should be your confirmed allies.
• Конструктор cannot be stunned and are usually never on your side in a cult round. Kill them with lethal weapons without hesitation.
• Mindshields can be applied to members of the Cult even when they are not converted; they only protect against hostile mind conversion. Don't just go randomly implanting people until you know who is really on your side.
  • Extremely crafty cultists can disguise as a recently murdered Security Officer and steal an implant for themselves to look life officers. Don't expect this to happen often, but the possibility is there.

МедБэй

If you work in the Medbay it's not your job to directly fight the cult, but you may still do so if you wish. Whatever you do, be careful about attacking people if you are not sure who is cultist or not. The same goes for every other department as well.

Here are some general tips and tricks for Medbay workers:

Врач: Examine people before healing them, to check for glowy eyes or cult gear. If you don't see anything obvious, then try to do your job as normal.
If you have holy water you can be extra helpful by building a smoke machine. Print the board from the medical techfab or ask the AI to let you into the tech storage so you can grab it. Print stock parts and cable coil from an autolathe. Fill it with holy water and turn it on. Cultists who breathe the holy water will have their prepared spells deleted, so they can no longer stun you. The holy water smoke will also bless tiles if 10u or more touches them.

Химик: You can create non-lethal syringes with Chloral Hydrate or other chemicals, to use in a syringe gun. Then if you accidentally shoot a non-cultist it won't be a big deal. If you manage to put a confirmed cultist to sleep, then feel free to cuff them with cablecuffs and bring them to the brig for deconversion. You can also make combat drugs and hand them to security.

Генетик: You can try to find powers such as thermal vision or hulk, and then make injectors to give to security (or use yourself).

Also, try to keep your distance from people acting suspiciously. Medbay usually has some secluded areas, and cultists can easily stun and kidnap you in melee range. Don't try to fight them unless you know what you're doing.

Карго

Order Religious Supplies crates. If the Chaplain is nowhere to be seen and security don't have any holy water, order this as fast as possible. The crate contains holy water.

Order МайндШилд имплант. If people really don't want to be converted to the cult, they can request to be implanted after cult presence is confirmed. If security is properly deconverting crew, they might run out of implants unless cargo ordered more.

Order guns. If you have a way to open the crates, then guns could help give you or security the upper hand. Remember, be careful about who you shoot if you don't know who is a cultist. Prefer using non-lethals if holy water is available.

Учёный

Ordnance: While bombs should be the crew's last resort, they are the strongest weapon you can use to stop a Nar-Sie summon. If you hear the summoning announcement, it might be time to deliver a bomb to the announced location, as a final decisive move against the cult.

Роботист: Exosuits are strong when cracking down on cult bases. Feel free to build one or more. Cult spells and items can not stun mechs, but they can still damage and destroy it.

Ксенобиолог: Some slime cores, such as those from Sepia Slimes can be very powerful in combat, if you manage to get them. Be careful though, as in the xenobiology lab you are often isolated which could make you an easy target.

Инженерное дело

Инженер: Normally, cultists don't sabotage the engine since it may hurt their teammates. Just make sure there is power. Feel free to build backup telecomms in case a wraith wrecks it (cultists don't need telecomms). You can also try asking the AI let you move its core to a hidden location if you can make it trust you.

Атмосферный Техник: You don't need to go out of your way to fight the cult unless you have some sort of plan. Do not flood the station with gas, since it might hurt non-cultists. Repair any hull breaches resulting from combat.

Ботаник

Grow Holymelons. Not only can they be ground for holy water, but they also have anti-magic properties. Keep a Holymelon in your hand and you should be immune to cult conversion and some other cult spells, until the melon runs out of charges.

Предатель

It's possible to force a cultist to reveal information by using the hypnotic flash available to traitors, as hypnosis has a greater influence over a person's mind than the influence of Nar-Sie (check the antagonist directive priorities on the rules page here). A very trustworthy security force could use this to negotiate with a traitor and gain an insane advantage. This will not work on deconverted cultists, as they lose their memory of the time they were in the cult.
