But HOW?
Make Your Mark.
Hoping that this Lidia girl was still receptive to the things you said in her presence you went over and spoke into her ear.
Tell them to go look at the Prayer Paper if they doubt you. You say and wait to see if you are heard.
"If you guys don't believe me just take a look at the prayer paper!" Lidia cries, and then looks confused. A couple of the guys laugh but get up and go look whereupon you act.
Slowly, as they approach the paper, expending much more energy than you would if you do it quickly but you are sure this will impress, you move the molecules of ink in the drawing around on the paper, reforming them into your sign and below it your name as the gobsmacked bar patrons call out for everyone to "Come see this!" You take a minute and a half doing this, draining your energy reserves precipitously, but when you are done half the people watching are on their knees and praying, a few of them to YOU, and the flow of energy from what remains of the Joss Sticks redoubles.
Satisfied with a job well done you leave the bar, and turn your attention to the observation of your sphere of influence, which you have been neglecting most of the day, in favor of being with your sapient worshipers, who, lets face it, are really more tools to advance your interests than properly part of your concern.
How long before something in your sphere or one of your worshipers draws your full attention again?
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
