They might want to help you. Or not.

SPOILERS FOR IMPATIENTS

the drawings on the necronomicon are important but as you can see from the instruction sheet, the drawings are not in the right order. What allows you to perform the first ritual (there are 6 bodies) is to remove the right organ (see second page of the necronomicon) and insert the right object (see first page of the necronomicon)
