Vitals

Habits

• “Teaching” an orphan anatomy thanks to a gecko, vivisected but still alive
• Watching its palatines finish burying a small bend (plastic) box full of small radioactive batteries
• Saying a sort of mathematical “prayer” for a provincial trader it just killed

Attacks

• A red minister can telekinetically shear apart atoms with strong force attacks that inflict d20 damage, but it prefers to talk. It will flee if its palatines are defeated and it is unable to mind control opponents.

Powers

• Cthulhicate Can be banished via hell science powers of the path called the Sky That Crawls.
• Extradimensional Cannot be harmed by non-Weird attacks (ordinary guns, swords) in threespace.
• Pour honey (standard) – A red minister can burn 4 GRT to induce one target to take a single action that will not lead to harm, or 8 GRT for an action that will lead to harm. In the latter case, the red minister rolls CHA/control against the target’s WIL/resist other; it wins if its roll is higher than or equal to the target’s.
• Puppet (standard) – A red minister can burn 2d8 GRT to completely control one target for 6 hours. It must concentrate on puppeting the target, meaning it can’t attack while doing so. If it tries to have the target kill themself, they roll WIL/resist other against its CHA/control to resist.

Gear

• Red ministers carry various expensive goods from your world and distant worlds that you will never visit.

Story notes

This red-robed, faceless being is human-sized and speaks your language in a pleasant voice, but it is not human. It is the thrall of an Old One, and it will try to trick you into selling your own proverbial soul to its master. Red ministers never appear alone, but sit in a catafalque carried by six faceless android palatines of mysterious design. Red ministers make offers on behalf of their masters—reveal your secrets, betray your cause, turn on each other, etc., in return for money, power, other secrets, etc.— and then, if rebuffed, command their palatines to attack. Red ministers are higher-dimensional and cannot be targeted using ordinary weapons; palatines are not.
