[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 9370418, member: 63"] A priest whose friend committed suicide is distraught, and makes a commandment meant to stabilize the health of anyone who injures themselves. It only could only be applied to a single person at a time, but a priest could link it to someone he feared might harm themselves, to protect them anywhere. Later, the king forbid human sacrifices, so a high priest made a commandment that ripped open the belly of anyone who slew another person for the purpose of a religious offering, to ensure they died as well. A cult tried to find a way to avoid that restriction by putting prisoners in horrible Jigsaw-esque situations where they either have to kill themselves or let a loved-one die. [I]Technically[/I] the people doing the sacrifices are not the members of the cult but the sacrificees themselves, so it avoided consequences . . . until one of the people they tried to sacrifice was also suicidal and protected by that first commandment. He ended up feeling a sudden desire to live, and so refused to kill himself, which meant the other prisoner died . . . which then triggered the second commandment to open his belly to kill him, . . . except his death was forbidden by the first commandment, . . . so the whole death trap prison full of murder cultists got sucked into the Consequence.
