TotGaD: Ritual Requirements
-
- Bottle the water of a mountain stream; at the ritual site mix the water with the ashes of a slain monster. Drink this mixture while making noises that correspond to the type of slain beast within the elixer. Once imbibed the way is clear to complete the ritual.
- Within the month before the attempt the ritual you must reconcile two foes and end their enmity. However, during the ritual itself you will bind their names upon a parchment with a curse of eternal hatred. Once this has been accomplished the ritual may proceed.
- You must locate an Ebony Shard of Pish-Katelle and gaze into its murky depths while whispering the words of power. A demonic servant will appear within the Shard; the demon will require you to sacrifice one of the memories of your childhood to proceed with the ritual.
- Collect enough corn husks to fashion thirteen dolls. These dolls must be bathed in a succession of liquids: sour milk, watered-down honey, grain alcohol, animal urine. At the ritual's conclusion the dolls will animate and engage in ritual combat with the sorcerer.
- Mortify your flesh with a whip of thorns. Display your wounds proudly to the demons and entities brought forth by the ritual's workings. Let them admire your dedication and handle your abused flesh. Once you have met their approval you may proceed with the ritual's other requirements.
