Stalkers RPG General Chat Thread (Emissary Clubhouse)

[Lychee]

I'm going to wait to do my action investigating the kill until SOMEBODY TALKS TO SEBBIT

or, if somebody else does the autopsy, I'll talk to Sebbit.

my point is, somebody needs to talk to Sebbit.

Doing the autopsy is a free action- you can do it AS WELL as talking to sebbit! Go chat up that scrap dealer! Good luck! I think you should do it, because you'll have more specific questions for him since you're interested in DeeMangs storyline.

But yeah most likely he wont teach exorcism... which is a skill I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the game yet ...and im not sure actually exists in this current game... but all the players who have played in the past seem to think it's a very important thing to find and use and learn....
Hmmm.
Am I just missing a vital piece of gameplay information?
Here's what I know, as a new player;

We have our kill skill to outright squish stalkers.

There are only two things left undescribed as (???) in the gameplay manual, and they arent skills- they're default actions.
One of them is clearly going to be [[Restrain Pokemon]] once we build a cell.
I expect the other one will be [[Conduct Sin Purge Ritual On Pokemon]] because that has been mentioned by PCs in game and it'll surely take an action to do.

Is there any other option we even need? Why not just work on unlocking the sin purge ritual, and assassinate if things get dire?
Why is exorcism important? Does it actually exist? Has anywhere in the rules mentioned it? Have any GM posts mentioned it apart from Orins diary, wherein he clearly never found an exorcist?

I mean, if you've got evidence, shoot me down, but I feeeel like theres a pretty strong case that searching for an "exorcism teacher" wont work out, and we should work on putting together a sin purge ritual, which DOES DEFINITELY exist.
