there’s no way both you and marshal were starting cult
I don’t even think with marshal as convert that you’re starting cult, honestly. I think only if you’re the convert it would make any sense, and we know for a fact you weren’t converted N2 because of Marl’s bear. I highly doubt you would’ve been converted N1 for the way Marshal pushed on you, and I also don’t think you were the prime conversion target for N3 either lol.
I actually think cult is happy to let you get pushed here because it would get a physician out, which takes away some of the town protection.
