I suppose solo infiltrating the Clippers is just begging for stuff to go wrong, so I'll pitch in with something else.

    • Hmm, so if we subtract the unused research action vote, that gives us 24 votes, and between 15-16 cultists per vote. So almost everything gets at least a +3, I believe. Fingers crossed.

    • It has come up, during preparations, that there is no chosen place to hold the first part of the Slaughter Harvest to be held. To avoid drawing attention, it would be best for it to happen somewhere owned and controlled by the cult; but the options are sadly limited.

    The Church of the Undivided Fourfold Path seems most logical, as this is undoubtedly a form of religious ceremony, and so the Bloodfather will be more likely to notice it. However the other three Gods may have the ability to affect the proceedings, as they likely would wish too.

    By contrast the Pump House is both weaker and safer from an esoteric perspective, although there will certainly be some effect of baptizing the place you shall train your killers in blood. Should failure occur, however... the building may become unusable.

    There is, however, a third option. The cult still knows of the forgotten archive hall where they held their first meeting. It is still abandoned, and could be utilized, but would have little merit to it, aside from being a disposable location.

    What must also be considered is that the champion of the gladiatorial contest will go out, from the chosen location, to slaughter in His name until they themselves fall. They may, unwittingly, lay a trail that leads back to your door. Between the two, the Church is more remote, but it's loss would be greater. Especially if its true purpose is discovered. As for the others, as the archive hall is within a building controlled by the Administratum, it is the most likely to be found.
    Vote for the location SLAUGHTER HARVEST will be held at. These are the only three places.

    Thousand fecking apologies. This only occurred to me when I started writing the update.

    I prefer that one. Sure, the ritual will be less effective and if it fails we risk Khorne ´s displeasure or the cult splintering. But those are things we can more easily recover from than being discovered by the authorities. Loosing our hq (presumably full of compromising documents) or our training grounds would be bad.

    I agree with the idea that it should be as disposable as can be. Besides, considering the fact that Kelt isn't exactly governed by paragons of Imperial virtues and that the general policy regarding Chaos is "There is no war in Ba Sing Se", the authorities might cover it up as a case of an office drone going postal. Preferably letter carrier, so we can snicker about postman going postal.

    Also, IIRC, Khorne is very explicit that he doesn't care about temples and holy grounds and so on. Time spent on symbols is time not spent on making Blood Flow, so any eventual bonus for the devoted ground would be minimal.

    Gym woundn't be a bad idea, since conceptual resonance of War, Fight and Physical Strength with Sport and Physical Training could be used to our advantage, but that's a.) reliant on said resonance happening, which is not guaranteed (dice), b.) might also screw us over (dice) and c.) in case of failure (dice) we lose a very good building. In other words, too much unknown factors = too much risk = reward most likely not worth it.
    In other other news, if you end up running a second edition of the Cult Quest, I've got a wonderful idea for Nurglish one. Not gonna say too much right now to not distract, but consider Nurgle+Phyrexia
