THE RITUAL, PART 1 (getting your visions)
Gather your group together at your chosen location. Double check your materials before starting. If you have followed the steps above, you should be in pretty good shape. Remember, once you choose one of the numbered roles, you *must* stay with it and act in order. It's a good idea STOP TALKING IN MAIN NOW.
Once the ritual is begun, NO TRAVEL TIME OR SPOUSEWARP UNTIL BREAD IS BAKED SUCCESFULLY
- FREE CHARIOT IS OK.
Player 1 = Jaylenaeybarre
ritual: Player1 chooses "Begin the Ritual of Leavened Bread" under his/her Tests/Test of Leavened Bread menu. Any player opens a barrel of beer. (this is not a must do, can skip it if the beer is already on the table) Players 1-5 drink a cup of beer IN ORDER from the tasting table. It does not matter which cups you use - only that the players drink in sequence, 1 through 5.
"Command Me from Heaven" emote and says (in MAIN):
Bless us oh god as we humbly seek your wisdom
Special Instructions: for part 2; just an example
During the ritual, you must conduct prayers to Bes.
Oh Dua, we ask you to bless Jaylenaeybarre. (just type the name) Oh Dua, we ask you to bless Khelben. Oh Dua, we ask you to bless ella. Oh Dua, we ask you to bless Shiranai. Oh Dua, we ask you to bless Honasha.
Player 2 = Khelben
Player2 does the "Take My Blood" emote and says (in MAIN):
We ask for your blessings on this home and its generous proprietor
Special Instructions: for part 2; just an example
The bread should be enriched with Dates. (1)
Player 3 = ella
Player3 does the "Show Me Mercy" emote and says (in MAIN):
We ask that you bless us all your humble servants
Special Instructions: for part 2; just an example
The Shemu Wheat flour should be moistened with Coconut water, and Brown Beer.
Player 4 = Shiranai
Player4 does the "Enter My Soul" emote and says (in MAIN):
Reveal to us your spirit and wisdom and how we might please you
Special Instructions: for part 2; just an example
After the baking, ritualize diligence by harvesting cabbage and harvesting flax, then perform the emotional devotions: Take my Blood, Command me from Heaven, Show me Mercy, Enter my Soul,Share my Joy, .
Player 5 = Honasha
Player5 does the "Share My Joy" emote and says (in MAIN):
Guide us in preparing our day's bread to fortify and enlighten us and our brethren and to earn your blessings
Special Instructions: for part 2; just an example
Bread should be shared with Recent Initiates of Architecture.
Steps after vision
If all has gone well, each player will receive a vision (a popup) giving information about things the group will need to do. Do not lose this information! Copy this information and share it with your group. If you have a requirement you can not meet, dissolve the ritual (via the Tests menu), wait two Teppyhours (unconfirmed that you actually need to wait), and try again from scratch. The wheat requirement changes in a predictable cycle every 6 game hours (2 RL hours) - Solaris. If your group did something wrong and did not receive these popups, you can dissolve the ritual and restart immediately.Your visions will turn out something like this:
Player 1 = Jaylenaeybarre learns the name of the God to whom the prayers in the second part of the ritual must be addressed.
Player 2 = Khelben learns the additive (such as aromatic honey) that must be added to the bread. One of each (and 5000 wheat) is needed per loaf.
Player 3 = ella learns the type of beer needed and the season of wheat needed and moistener (such as coconut milk). Only 1 barrel of this beer is needed.
Player 4 = Shiranai learns the activities to perform (such as cooking a meal or digging a hole). There should be two activities and the emotes to perform.
Player 5 = Honasha learns the type of person (Benefactor) to give bread to after it is baked (this will be something like "Recent Initiates of Thought").
You can talk in main once you have the visions.
Player 1 = JaylenaeYbarre - Starts the ritual (via Test menu). Types (or pastes) several prayers into Main at the right time during the bread baking phase.
Player 2 = Khelben - Builds/lights the bonfires. Handles the emir mortar. Loads the wheat and bread additive. Sacrifices the first loaf.
Player 3 = ella - Adds the beer and other moistener to the mortar.
Player 4 = Shiranai - Performs two tasks (to be specified in the visions).
Player 5 = Honasha - Should assist as needed (perhaps is elected to perform the bonfire stoking).
THE RITUAL, PART II (baking the bread) You've just learned what new kind of beer your group needs. There is no time limit for making this beer, nor for trading for additional wheat, but you will not be able to use any navigation other than free chariot travel until the bread is baked or the ritual is dissolved. (Expedition travel seems to be okay to use right now, but this is probably a bug and could change.) Any player can make the beer, or you can trade for it. Send your runner to go make it/pick it up. ;)
While the beer is being sorted out, Player 1 = JaylenaeYbarre should take a moment to prepare the text that s/he will paste into Main during the baking phase. This text must consist of five separate lines. Each line needs to mention one group member's name along with the name of the god mentioned during the vision. You can use this sentence: "Oh <god>, we ask you to bless <PlayerN>." To be crystal clear, if your group members' names are Art, Bob, Charlie, Dave, and Ed, and your god's name was Buto, your sentences would look like this:
Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Jaylenaeybarre.
Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Khelben.
Oh Bes, we ask you to bless ella.
Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Shiranai.
Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Honasha.
Just a note (added by HarvestStar): If the names of the players are mispelled the bread will not bake, this is case sensitive in my experience. If you do mispell the name or mess up with entering this part exact you WILL have to start the ritual over from step one. You can not just try baking the bread again.
You should also take the time here to prepare any necessary materials for the tasks Player4 needs to do, get your moistener and additive ready, and make sure you've got jugs/wood/emir mortar nearby. Once your beer is back at camp with you, and you've got your stuff ready to go, it's time to move on to the next part of the ritual.
THE NEXT STEPS NEED TO BE CAREFULLY COORDINATED, SO READ THEM AND BE PREPARED BEFORE STARTING. ONCE YOU START THIS PHASE, YOU CAN'T STOP UNTIL THE BREAD IS DONE!!!!
Blessing the Chosen God, Baking the Holy Bread, and Sacrificing Bread (breadbaking ritual)
- Player 2 = Khelben drops an emir mortar on the ground and builds a bonfire of exactly 105 wood near it. (guild bonfire)
- Player 2 = Khelben adds wheat (5000 per loaf) to this single mortar. All the wheat used goes into *one* mortar. (guild mortar)(option to guild comes now)(!!!! 10 k of same wheat - need 2 loafs)
- Player 3 = ella adds moistener coconut water (1 per loaf- so !!!! 2 coconut water needed) and brown beer (1 barrel total no matter how many loaves) to the mortar.
- Player 2 = Khelben adds the additive date (1 per loaf- so !!!! 2 dates needed) to the mortar.
- Player 2 = Khelben lights the bonfire.
When the wood gets down to about 30, Player 1 = JaylenaeYbarre pastes the five prepared lines one by one into Main.(Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Jaylenaeybarre. Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Khelben. Oh Bes, we ask you to bless ella. Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Shiranai. Oh Bes, we ask you to bless Honasha.)
THE TEXT MUST APPEAR BETWEEN 2 MINUTES AND 0 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIRE RUNS OUT OF WOOD. When the fire reaches 0 wood, Player 2 = Khelben moves the emir mortar to the bonfire. This is a menu option on the mortar. The mortar will move visibly, although it may not actually reach into/under the fire. Once the mortar has been moved to the fire, JAY (any player) must perform stoking duty. Each time the fire reaches 0 wood, that player ADDS 1 wood AND 1 water to the bonfire until the bread is baked. During the stoking phase, Player 4 = Shiranai performs the common actions mentioned in the vision= catch a fish, harvest leek and the emote stuff. Some of these activities may require the assistance of another group member who isn't otherwise occupied.
- Player 2 = Khelben will get a clear notice (popup) when the bread is ready. (This can actually happen before Shiranai has completed his/her activities.) Player 2 = Khelben should remove the bread from the fire and double-check in inventory that it says "holy" bread.
- Player 2 = Khelben builds a second bonfire of 10 wood, lights it, and sacrifices one of the breads on the bonfire.
Part II DONE! At this point you can safely use any form of navigation and talk in Main again.
(We started at 30 wood and our player #1 only copied the main blessing and tried to type each persons name in. This took too much time and we did not finish before the bread was ready. We had to start the ritual over from step one because of the error. We also had to start over because of a misspelling of a name. The blessings are so important you need to make sure you have someone who can copy and paste quickly. ~HarvestStar
During step 10 above, our Player4 had finished one task and was running to perform the second when Player2 got the message that the bread was ready and removed it from the mortar. We had Player4 do the second task before we moved on to step 11 just in case, but Player2 already had the bread in inventory and said that it was "holy." ~Calixes)
Player 2 = Khelben will have to make the Emir Mortar publicly accessible, so Player 3 = ella can access it. Our Emir Mortar actually moved to the other side of the bonfire. Looks like it moves one coordinate towards the fire. The stoking part can take a while, so be patient, if you've followed the steps above, used the right ingredients, and done the chores. It will finish. -McArine
THE RITUAL, PART III (distributing the bread and scoring)
The bread expires after 7 days. You should now track down Benefactors who meet the requirement you got in your vision. Please keep in mind that "recent" as applies to these categories seems to mean "within the last seven days." There is nothing stopping you from giving bread to an inappropriate recipient.
Ritual asked for "recent initiate of Worship." Bread given to a person paid 8 days, [got the message] "bread not meant for them."
As a recent paid citizen, upon consumption the bread gave me +2 to all attributes for 24 hours. - Cyco
In order to score points, you must give a loaf to a viable Benefactor, and the Benefactor must eat the bread using the Skills/Consume menu. As soon as a proper Benefactor has eaten the bread, you can check your score via the Tests menu...It will be updated with a new point. Any member (or multiple) of your group may hand out the bread. Any points earned will carry over even if the ritual is dissolved, and you form another one.
It seems you will continue to see a brief popup window any time you use travel time until your ritual is dissolved (or possibly pass).
