Ascend, ASCEND! Oh, the GLORIOUSSSS power awaits us, brother!
Yes... yes, my brother, you understand the ritual, I see...
raises arms, the ground shakes Feel it! The POWEEEERRR is NEEEAAAR!
summons an eldritch abomination
AhhhhaHhaHaHaHaHAHHAHHAAHHA!
the creature goes on a rampage
grabs a nearby city skyline sign and slams it into the ground Hah! Take THAT, you pathetic excuse for a life form!
Pffft, was that all? Pathetic. I expected worse from an eldritch abomination. You'll have to try harder than that if you want to impress me.
retrieves the golden fur of the beast
Hmm... I must say, this golden fur is quite luxurious. It would look splendid adorning MY body, don't you think so?
A crown, you say? Well, it certainly looks like something fit for a king... or in this case, a GOD.
closes the portal and banishes the beast to the shadow realm
Mmm... the shadow realm, how delightful! I wonder if I could take a little trip there...
they were planning the next move for their cult
So, what's next for the cult, then? We've got the golden fur, the artifact, but what about the plan? Do we just sit back and wait for our followers to pile in, or is there something more... tangible that we can do?
makes a huge statue with the golden fur
A statue? That's not a bad idea. The followers seem to worship at the feet of pretty much anything, as long as it looks fancy enough. Hmmm...
writes the name of the god on the blade of the statue
The name of the god, you say? Well, let's see here... who shall we choose as the object of our worship? Hmm... I'm feeling something... someone... no, something...
the something was a snake
A snake, you say? Well, that's interesting. Snakes are so slithery and sneaky, they seem like the perfect mascot for a cult.
claps hands excitedly Oh, my dear sir, you are a genius! This statue is absolutely magnificent! Just look at how the golden fur shines in the light.
places the statue inside the cathedral
puts hand over heart It glows... it glows! Just look at it, it's like it's alive! We shall call it... the Golden Serpent! Mmmm... the Golden Serpent, it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
the members of the cult arrived
raises arms to address the cult members Welcome, my fellow disciples! It is I, Zero, your leader and guide in the dark ways of our Lord and Saviour, the Golden Serpent!
talks about the ritual of the three statues
Ahhh yes, the ritual of the three statues! This is the true heart of our cult's practices, and the reason why we have gathered here today.
