Phase 2

Phase 2: the church, your first sermon and Faith

Agatha opens the church; the sermon pays in Faith; Herbert wants three of them.

Jack’s letter brings Agatha, the Nun. She reopens the old church at your base, and the church is where sermons turn Happiness into Faith. Herbert won’t open his barracks until you bring him 3 Faith, so this phase comes before any fighting.

Meet Agatha

  1. Once the twins have delivered Jack’s letter, go to the tavern, let Januarius introduce her and talk to Agatha. If she isn’t there, Jack’s departure and the two-night wait aren’t finished yet.
  2. Choose Reassure the Nun..., then Try to get out of it. She grants Church Cleaning for free, which opens the church and the basic bench.
  3. Go back to the old church at your base and step inside at least once — the visit is part of the introduction.

Clean the church to quality 10

  1. This is the church interior’s quality, not the graveyard’s.
  2. Clear the clutter first so its negative quality disappears: a Pickaxe for stone rubble, a Hammer for broken pots (Building 2). Finish each job.
  3. Leave the donation box where it is: it’s worth 1 quality and will collect sermon money.
  4. From the church building desk, place Interior Bench I — Wooden Plank x2 + Bronze Nails x6, finished with a Hammer at Building 2 — for 3 quality each.
  5. A clean room plus three benches (9) and the donation box (1) makes exactly 10: six planks and eighteen nails in total. If your total is lower, look for leftover rubble or an unfinished frame before buying more furniture.
  6. Tell Agatha Everything’s ready. She decides you should lead the service and gives you the Basic prayer and Town Gratitude.

Your first sermon

  1. At the pulpit, put Basic prayer in the prayer slot and check attendance and success chance before starting.
  2. Basic prayer needs at least 4 attendees, limited by both church quality and your current Happiness. More benches won’t fix a Happiness shortage — spend Town Gratitude instead, one at a time (5 Happiness each, capped).
  1. Run the ceremony and close the results window — Agatha’s conversation only continues once it’s closed. Collect the dropped Faith and check your actual count; collect the money from the donation box separately.
  2. You unlock Words of Faith and receive Priest’s Clothes and 10 Agatha reputation. Agatha moves to the Crossroads and asks for writing supplies — that request waits until Phase 6, when you can make ink.
  1. Short of Faith? Ordinary sermons refresh on Wrath day. With no bonuses, a successful Basic prayer pays 4 Faith with 8 attendees and only 2 with 4.

Faith for Herbert

  1. This request appears after Grave Expectations from Phase 1 — report the graveyard first if you haven’t.
  2. With 3 Faith in your inventory, choose Give Faith at the Crossroads. The Barracks open and Herbert’s next preparations appear: military strength, mercenaries and a Magic bell (you already have its recipe from Jack’s letter).
  3. Church quality on its own doesn’t satisfy him — he wants the three Faith items.

Donkey complains about Agatha

  1. After you meet Agatha, one of Donkey’s later deliveries stops for a talk at the morgue: the Nun has threatened him and Larry is worried too. Let it all play out and let Donkey leave — that restores normal deliveries.
  2. No new body? Look for an unfinished conversation at the morgue first; sleeping won’t finish a scene that’s waiting for you. Deliveries also depend on a scheduled check and a roll, so a fresh corpse isn’t guaranteed every night.
