Cultist Acolyte

Devoted followers of the Old Gods, drawn to your Estate either by visions or hearing rumors of the thing that sleeps within the deepest pit of the Darkest Dungeon. These heretical fanatics used to practice their dark and unholy religion in secret, hiding far away from the ever watchful eye of the Church of Light, but now that their members have grown in strength they dare walk out in open day light, performing dark rituals and human sacrifice in hope to fully awaken the thing below the manor and join it in glorious ascension.

Acolytes are typically assisted and protected by Cultist Brawlers. While Acolytes lack the raw physical strength of their male counterparts, they more make up for it by using their unholy and arcane incantations to ravage the minds of those who cross their path. Additionally, they can summon vestiges of unnameable beings from the void to disrupt others in battle.

Behavior
The Cultist Acolyte is a Human enemy that can be encountered in any area, usually with Cultist Brawlers and always in the third and fourth ranks. While unable to inflict the same physical damage as their counterparts, the Acolyte assaults the mind instead, dealing high stress damage with their unholy incantations, which also mark targets from Veteran Level onward to enhance the damage of the Brawler's Rend for the Old Gods. They can also sow confusion by altering the party's formation with Eldritch Push and Eldritch Pull. It is best to end these heathens quickly to limit the stress inflicted on your heroes and the damage from other foes.
