Succubus Manor - A sim magician game.

[Iced Fairy]

Also, I'm suggesting that we should get Marie to put together some kind of First Aid class for the devils to make them a bit more competent if the mansion is attacked again.

Actually Marie's already done that, which is why minor injuries no longer bother your devils.

As far as healing goes, each devil has a chance to recover each week.  Having Marie tend to them increases that chance (up to 100% if her level is high enough and the number of injured devils is low enough).

Fear can be treated similarly, though you'll have to think of a different devil to boost fear removal.  Or use the charm spell....

[Chaore]

>Special Action: Call the ghost busters.

[Kasu]

Get Helepolis to make an attempt at helping Ferra and Architect relax to see if they become un-frightened.

[Montblanc]

We definitely should build the mill. I suggest Mai casts the charm spell on the frightened devils. The injured will obviously just need to relax and heal their injuries.

We should definitely name the Architect or the Bodyguard, but with Mai possibly casting the charm spell, I dunno how much mana we'd have left after all this. We should maybe think about getting some gems soon and taking advantage of the Empower Gems spell later.

I have nothing else to say on the matter for now.

[Hello Purvis]

I am against Charm for now; naming is more useful, and we don't need another morale hit.

Agreed.

Also, it might be useful to send Marie into town for some books to expand her medical practices since we don't have a library yet.

Book hunting will be more effective after you get the library actually, as you'll be able to store more books.  Right now the people you send out are guessing which book is most valuable and acquiring that one.  When you have the library you'll be able to buy carts of books and review them later.

Its like the game is preventing me from getting better medical treatment for the devils. >_<

[Hello Purvis]

Send the doctor out to get better medicines, if we cannot effectively special act injury treatment directly.

There might be someone better then the doctor for a market based mission....

[Hello Purvis]

Doctor and Merchant together.

Doctor and Merchant together.

I second this.

(Sorry about being late with this.  Yesterday was pretty bad for me.  This week isn't looking better, but I should still manage every other day at worst.)
Week 4 Results

Building Phase

Sakaki - "It'll do Ferra some good to focus on her work."

Mill:

Sakaki

Builder

2

+50 wood

Sakaki - "Well this is the best I can do without access to a forest.  Hopefully it'll be enough."

Research Phase
The Planar Portal spell is easy to learn, but the miasma of Makai makes it unsafe.  You believe with a little effort though you can change the spell to work for you here.

Research for Patchouli - 50
Planar Portal - 50

Yuki looked down at the devil.  The little draftsdevil still had her left arm in a sling, and she jumped at the slightest noise recently.  "You sure this is a good idea Mai?"

Mai nodded.  Yuki could tell her friend was certain.

Yuki sighed.  "Alright.  Let's do this then..."

The lines flowed with power and Yuki's vision once again gazed on the formulas of reality itself.  "Your name is now Apophis!"

The devil blinked then slowly smiled.  "I feel... powerful...."  She pulled her arm out of the sling and smiled even wider as she moved it about.  "Really powerful!  Ehehe, ahahaha.  Ahahahahahaha!"

Yuki rolled up some research notes and smacked the little devil upside the head.  "Get a grip.  You're an architect succubus, not a demon god."

Apophis rubbed her head sheepishly.  "Sorry Miss Yuki....  But thanks for naming me!  I'll see how I can help you and my sisters."

Spells:
You name Apophis.  Her wounds are healed.  She is no longer afraid.  As a named devil her level is automatically increased by one.  For naming a devil, Morale and Max Morale have increased by 5.

Apophis   Architect   1   Reduces Building costs by 5%.

Apophis:  "I can't do much until you've increased the houses size, but I can at least streamline your plans."

Special Actions
1: Have Helepolis treat Ferra.

Helepolis: "I'm not good at psychology, but she will be relaxed."

Ferra is no longer afraid.  Morale increased by 3.

2: Have Merchant aquire medicines

Merchant: "Not a problem.  It may cost though."

Merchant gets $134 worth of medicine.  Devil recovery chance increases

3: Have Marie look for medical texts.

Marie: "There's not a lot of works on succubus medicine, but I'll try!"

Marie found a text in a bookstore for $10 that has a spell.

Mai: "I can use this."

Mai learned "Cure Devil."  She can fully heal any named devil for 33 mana, or any unnamed devil for 33 mana and a gem.  For 5 gems it can revive a 'dead' devil.

4: Call the Ghostbusters

Yuki: "Let's see... 555-5555?"
Yuki: "Huh.  No answer.  Wonder what the international prefix is."

Sorry, but you aren't in the city, county or state of New York.

Yuki sighed as OL took the last pile of forms away.  They'd just managed to get the mansion back to order.  She and Mai had managed to get a little done, but not as much as she would have liked.

There was a knock on the Study door.  "What now?"

Alouette steped in and bowed.  "Lady Yuki, we have guests."

Yuki blinked.  "Er, who is it?  It's not those crazies from Gensoukyo again right?"

Alouette shook her head.  "It's Lady Shinki and her retinue."

There was a crash as Yuki fell out of her chair.  "What!?"  The magicain stood up and ran to the small sitting room (that had been doubling as a dining room).  Sure enough sitting there was the goddess of Makai and her maid Yumeko.  Waitress was serving them some tea.

"Um, er Lady Shinki!  What brings you to our home?" Yuki asked.

Shinki smiled and waved.  "Oh, Yuki!  I heard you'd had some problems so I decided to drop by and make sure everything was okay.  That isn't a problem right?"

"Of course not!" Yuki said as Yumeko glared at her.  "We're happy to have you drop by.  We've fixed most of the problems from last week, but it's nice to know someone's looking after us."

"Well even if these devils are among the least of my children, they're still my precious creations."  Shinki smiled.  "But please, sit.  And tell us what you have planned for the future...."

Events:
You were visited by Shinki!  It was a little stressful having the creator of Makai looking over your shoulder, but the devils were thrilled.  Admittedly Alouette's suggestion to bring in Sakuya for a maid threesome didn't fly with Yumeko, but there weren't any other major incidents.  Morale rose by 18.  You gained 5 stress.  You gained 3 notoriety.

All the devils recovered from their injuries.
Cassia is restless
Waitress is restless
The weeks work caused you 4 stress.

Ilu Iced.

Also holy fuck that mill is amazing and way beyond what I expected.

[Serela]

Buy five pieces of wood, build farm, name Farmhand Ivette. Income+++!

And get ourselves a massage, so we can relax.

Edit:Also, the OP doesn't have Ferra's level at 2

[Iced Fairy]

Yeah, you'll need that Mill too.

:derp: Fixed.

Err, Neoer, We don't have enough for five pieces of wood.

[Serela]

Err, Neoer, We don't have enough for five pieces of wood.

Don't be silly! We've got enough for 11 pieces of wood. We've got 281 money, it says, and they're 25 each. :3

OH WHOOPS. Was reading Income as our current cash moneys.

[Hello Purvis]

Set the merchant out to buy wood, maybe she can get it on the cheap.

[Kasu]

S'all good.  If anything, we got a little time to work a couple things out.

I agree with all of this.

We should finish up the research for the Planar Portal though, so finish that up and pour the remainder into Patchouli's thing.

Also, how do you guys think we should combat Cassia and Waitress's restlessness?

Maybe for Waitress we could host a dinner party or something to keep her busy, but I have no clue about Cassia.

Last thing, maybe we could get Bodyguard to give the devils some self-defense lessons so that they have better odds against more powerful intruders.

[Chaore]

We could probably have Cassia go over our finance records and stuff? That's...what accountants do, right? :ohdear:

[Hello Purvis]

Accountants are renowned for having one of the highest rates of alcoholism by career in the world.

Seems to me a cocktail party hosted by the waitress is in order.

Oh man, I totally agree with this.   :3

[Hello Purvis]

Also, I recommend naming the Explorer, and sending her out to explore.

I recommend naming her Ruby.

[Montblanc]

I like the name Ruby. Let's do that.

[Dorian White]

Also, I recommend naming the Explorer, and sending her out to explore.

This, cause we will run out of wood soon, if she don't find a forest.

By the way shouldn't our max moral be on 95 by now?

[Iced Fairy]

By the way shouldn't our max moral be on 95 by now?

Fixed....

[Kilgamayan]

Man this looks fascinating and I want to help but there's not really anything more I can think of for this week :ohdear:

I guess I'll toss in another vote for Ruby.

I need to start keeping track of this topic, it's like Arkham Asylum except our choices aren't tactically pre-determined.
