However, they operate on the " to save it we had to destroy it " principle, so the plague will wipe out civilized folks as well. They see living families as a more effective way to spread the plague. People tend to destroy zombies and other undead minions on sight, so the idea is to conceal the attack. Furthermore, parents with children tend to be more compliant than parents without them when it comes to serving the cultists needs. Just set them loose afterwards, and they will make their way to civilization in order to keep their children safer.The Ritual itself places a cursed plague on people that they themselves cannot be rid of until they have spread it to a given number of targets. Even if they are killed, they will rise an undead to reach their quota. And finally, one of the cult leaders led a former life as a bean counter and has utilized expertly devised models to determine optimal spread of the disease so that it has the highest probability of eliminating the desired targets and then dying out before doing too much " collateral damage " .</blockquote>
