Matter of Faith (BTVS / OC)

How about plan "Worst Party Evar!"
Stinkbomb + Broken Speaker System + Power Issues

Wreck the club's reputation especially if this was supposed to be a big thing.
 
Gonna say that there's a fun way of doing this that wouldn't involve bloodshed.
Replace the helpless guy with ourselves.

Cast Concentration (the long version).

replace the guy with Faith,

Cast Cleanse.

Switch the Wine with something else.

Take the speakers and and replace it with static.

So how close to the mark am I
 
On a slightly different note, Our Horse/Bike needs a name. I mean it's sentient and all, we shouldn't just going around calling it "You" or "It" or "Bike"... Unless it actually chooses one of those for it's name but that would be weird.

We could ham it up if we wanted, name it Virtue, or something like that.
 
This is basically the answer, if upgraded then it *Specifically* undoes enthralment like this ritual.
The second part is to bless the area and wine, it would stop the ritual cold.

Lost Star mentioned that we had almost found the answer a page ago but then gave up on it.
Both of these count and would work, also if the ritual doesn't work then the rich kids might think that it will never work. Or that they pissed off the god they were praying to.
 
Ok by careful thought I believe I have the perfect plan to prevent the rich kids from ever doing the ritual again without bloodshed, which means we need to make them believe the ritual doesn't work.
First we need to replace the victim with ourselves.
Second we need to drink the wine and not try to escape so the girls won't attack us.
Third when the rich kids get bored of waiting for the ritual to kill us they will conclude that the ritual is fake and would never have worked.
This plan relies on our poison immunity preventing the wine from killing us.
Edit: the 2 previous posts the Op had put informative or insightful on involved replacing the victim with ourselves.

Interestingly, if it's done wrong we might just see something happen to the rite masters. The Greek Gods are not known for their forgiveness. Especially when you can be at fault for something you had no control over.

...what poison immunity?
ALso Lost star did say that we were missing the point so i don;t think this would work

Yeah this would be a good backup, it even technically counts as part of the hint Lost Star gave us.
So yeah this could work, if we mixed all three plans together and had a 'call cops and bail back up' then things could work.

Or maybe we could just wait for the ritual and then run off with the victim, if they can't kill him then it fails. But thats a back up plan
 
I think we should try the 'take the place of the ritual victim' thing. Having the back up plans be Faith shutting the music down via cutting the power to the club (tripping the circuit breakers and then busting them so that they can't be untripped is a good way IMHO), bringing in the police, burning the place down, and killing everyone involved in the ritual, in terms of severity.

Maybe but thats probably not Lost Stars idea, it could be a good part of the plan but blessing the drinks and levelling up cleanse is a show stopper in my opinion. If you add those to your plans then i will back them unless someone comes up with a better plan.
 
It sound like the sacrifice have to be a dude.
May be we can go in, we are strong enough to withstand a dozen drunken girls and track down the ritualists
 
That doesn't sound like that would let us stop them without killing them though. Not to mention, I'm pretty leery of facing off against 12 magical enhanced female berserkers.
 
Gonna clarify something. Basically what happens in the ritual is you get a party going. You then designate 12 girls and one guy as the 'focal point.' Then the guy basically has the girls and persuade him to drink. The only time the girls will become violent is if the guy attempts to leave. Since they are forcing something like 12 people's worth of alcohol into the person, he usually dies from that.

To further expand on this, the club for the past few years has had a person die on the date from over drinking, or a bar fight.
 
Hell, even just faking a crime as having happened there would most likely shut down the place for the rest of the night as the cops freeze the scene so CSI can go over it the next day.
 
Alright, that's the plan then?
We cleanse all the alcohol?

It's subtle, right?
No one will be able to tell we cleanse something?
I guess that works, i would like to deal with the cultists however.
@Lost Star Would the ritual backfire on the cultists in a major way if we survive? Because i really want to stop them properly so that they can't do this again.
 
Speaking as Diana:

"The Ritual of Excess is unusual in human sacrifice rituals in that it's theoretically possible for the designed sacrifice to survive. Practically it hasn't happened in the recorded usages. Based on other rituals, it would likely anger the god. Though it's also possible that the ritual will still succeed, or that the sacrifice would be blessed instead. Most rituals that have a chance of success for the sacrifice are usually referred to as trials instead and are done as a devotion with a faithful fanatic ready for the consequences. Since I lack the full history of the ritual, the most I can do is speculate."
