Anyone got any cool ideas for moves for some cultists to do? Its a death cult that’s been kidnapping lumberjacks to serve a mysterious necromancer ( he’s the long dead king who has come to reclaim his throne from his descendent and convert his people into an undead horde)

My team has practically 0 magic potential. The only one with an ounce of magic is a cleric who can cast arcane missiles as he is a human

  1. •Emerge from the populace (use this to reveal a nice NPC has been on their side all along)

    •Smear their blood on flesh to spread the rot (if a PC rolls a miss while attacking but you want to give it to them anyway, consider some blood splatter and disabling a limb!)

    •Intone ancient necromantic scripture (hint at some creepy arcane/divine knowledge the PCs could get ahold of if they just dont kill this cultist)

  2. Cultist don’t need special abilities; their fanatical behavior can provide ample scariness.   Alfred Rudzki’s ‘Emerge from the populace’ is a superb example of that.

    Cultists

    Special Qualities: Unshakable belief; Ignore injuries; Live (seemingly) normal lives; Identity is hidden (until unmasked)

    Instinct: Provide sacrifices to their god

    Moves:

    – Surround and capture

    – Carry away sacrifices

    – Switch identities

    – Sacrifice themselves for the cause
