Lords of Darkness (WHF CK2-Ish Quest)

Reader mode
I wonder if it's possible to sabotage the ritual by somehow involving one of the other chaos gods. Or if on a super crit, we can pin the blame on one of them. After all, they fight each other for influence and followers rather frequently.

Has fond recollections of a certain Henderson swapping out a cultist's summoning notes, resulting in death by demons for the whole coven.

[To Sabotage A Ritual]
​
Alexander Von Carstein was annoyed...no scratch that he was FURIOUS at the moment. Not at the messenger that passed the information about the Ritual those Chaos Curs were doing, no he was annoyed at the chaotic elements themselves. He had many plans for Bretonnia, and indeed allot of it required the living to KEEP living, as well as maintain the secret civil war and erranty war to keep going as long as possible. The more corpses that were made, the more his undead armies will swell. The More brutal both sides of the erranty civil war were, the more people will flock to his banner and pay tribute to him. The More the erranty war fought, the more likely he would be able to undermine the Faith of the Lady.

He already saw himself as Her Rival, and he intended to surpass her in these lands. After all, she had such a abundance of the living to be worshipped by, and just simply going for the nobility weakened her greatly considering the prospects and capabilities of the living peasents that could have been supplied. Knowledge, tricks, and possible advances in all things...she could have become a powerful entity that united the entirety of Bretonnia, and not only make these lands flourish beyond reckoning, but also maintain a massive mage presence due to the magics of these lands. Especially if she had dealt fairly with Bretonnia's "Neighbors"....

As it was he could only grumble furiously at himself of the idiocy of some of the "Gods" of Order, as well as setting up preparations to keep himself from doing the same "off-hands" work. Now, mentioning that he scrolled over the old plans for the type of castle the Cult of Nurgle were stationed in. It was the usual bretonnia designed castle, with the usual applied constructions and capabilities...if anything he picked out over a dozen weaknesses just by glancing at the design. Not to mention numerous ideas on HOW to weaken the entire province while he was at it that would be easily fixable for his own people, both living and dead, to deal with. Of course this would mean due to how magic functioned, a simple bat scuffing a candle, a controlled rat disturbing the wards/ritual lines, or even throwing enough zombies at the gates to allow assassins' to hit the fools while he unleashed light magic to burn critical parts of the ritual itself would be useful.

There were also the weather issues that could come into play, even a long range bombardment could be used...as well as simply going himself to deal with it in the dead of night. Alexander smirked darkly as he thought of that bit...it would be...interesting...to see how his abilities stacked against the fools. Not to mention the numerous weapons he had in his inventory...while he wanted to fully complete his mental library of knowledge on all the winds of magic, he would have to see how things would go.

Of course his recent idea of the Ordo Militia would have to be...cared for...to prevent the fools from causing issues with his plans. Which meant a personal visit to the abbot to insure that everything went according to plan. As well as the first few cathedrals, that would also tie in to his plans...and a few experiments with the energy of...Belief...as he was calling it. Nodding to himself, Alexander Von Carstein would need to make sure the ritual was sabotaged, even if he had to conduct his own counter ritual against it...perhaps even blighting the lands so that not even the sicknesses of Nurgle could grow? Another wider grin full of teeth bloomed from his "Face" as he revealed his full vampiric features...yes...this would definitely allow him to "Clean" up the influence of chaos nicely, might even be useful for a opening act against the cult!

Then of course the swarm of vampire bats, dire wolves, and other nasties he could throw at the cult to allow him entry into the castle...knowing the nurgle cultists, they would not have rebuilt what they have taken down, considering that the forces of chaos can never truly build up what they have taken down...fools the lot of them.

As it was, the night was young, and Alexander would need to call in a few of his favored humans in order to properly plan things out, as well as call his necromancers to consult the spirits of the dead on the keeps possible new additions...Yes, the ritual would not go off, and Bretonnia would be HIS to control, to Rule, and to Guide to the future. After all, a immortal God Emperor of this would be in the cards for him, and if he had to crack a few dozen heads of his "Fellow" gods, Eat the more Malicious Ones, and of course ally with others would be on the cards...now...how would he find the dwarven gods to consult with? Or even the Gods down South? Sigmar would need to be...watched...carefully...as well as Ulric. But as it were, getting everything set up and ready for his own ascension would be paramount for now, as well as preventing a super plague from draining his living subjects.

Shouldnt we have option to deal with Important action personnally ? sacrifacing personal action instead ?. I would personally want to deal with Nurgle Daemon personally even if it risks revealing ourselves.

If not: we can always write another omake.

I'd really like to see an omake where our method of disrupting the ritual is literally replacing their summoning notes with lookalikes that summon demons of one of the other gods, resulting in a massacre of the summoners. Their stupified expressions would liven my day.
