Succubus Manor - A sim magician game.

[Hello Purvis]

>Name the dancer Maya

We really need to find a way to up our resource production...

[Kilgamayan]

Don't we have a Mill? What happened to that?

[Iced Fairy]

Don't we have a Mill? What happened to that?

You have a mill running full steam.

What you didn't think money would be totally worthless did you?

[Hello Purvis]

Naw. Just resource prices make it hard to buy much. Especially with all the other costs.

We must circumvent capitalism.

[Kilgamayan]

Maybe we should focus all-out on bringing in wood and money for a couple of weeks, then. Explorer for wood, Merchant for wood, Actress for money, Farmgirl for money, Dancer for money, Artisan for money...

[Hello Purvis]

Kilga, I am liking what you are pondering.

Let us have Eskarina research more resource-producing areas for us to make a gate to and violate.

[Hello Purvis]

Also let's make that moat and fence. It's cheap, and we have notoriety now.

[Kasu]

Kilga, I am liking what you are pondering.

Let us have Eskarina research more resource-producing areas for us to make a gate to and violate.

Agreed.  It would especially help if she found an iron or gem rich place we could exploit.

[MysTeariousYukari]

I also agree.

Dancer Maya sounds nice as well.

Do we have a consistent way to keep Mai busy and helpful?

[Hello Purvis]

Perhaps we could send The White  Mask out to fight crime, and gather bountyheads?

[Suwako Moriya]

We could also have her keep researching that scroll. At least she didn't bitch about it like she did the lumberjacking.

[Kasu]

We could also have her keep researching that scroll. At least she didn't bitch about it like she did the lumberjacking.

I think I mentioned that in my suggestions, but yeah.  This is the best way to get Mai to spend her time right now.

[Hello Purvis]

Point. Next time, then.

[Dorian White]

Wouldn't it be better if we build Moat and fence now? I may be wrong but I think with a Notoriety of 92 the next visit of not so friendly neighbours will be one size larger.

Office                       - 495 wood                          - Raises Waitress's level

Just out of curiosity, what kind of Office raise the level of a Waitress?

[Hello Purvis]

That's my reasoning.

[Iced Fairy]

Just out of curiosity, what kind of Office raise the level of a Waitress?

:derp: Crap  :derp:

Office                       - 495 wood                          - Raises Elle's level

[Kasu]

Wouldn't it be better if we build Moat and fence now? I may be wrong but I think with a Notoriety of 92 the next visit of not so friendly neighbours will be one size larger.

I suggested that too, but I think everyone wants to keep the wood for bigger things right now.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Well, how much wood do we get per week anyway? Cause if we get 70+ per week, the Fence+Moat combo at 48~ isn't that big of a hit to gains.

[Iced Fairy]

Well, how much wood do we get per week anyway? Cause if we get 70+ per week, the Fence+Moat combo at 48~ isn't that big of a hit to gains.

100 wood a week, as the Succubus list indicates.

[Kilgamayan]

I suppose I could get behind building a moat.

Also, we've only been giving ourselves massages. I wonder what would happen if we gave Mai one?

[Kasu]

Well, how much wood do we get per week anyway? Cause if we get 70+ per week, the Fence+Moat combo at 48~ isn't that big of a hit to gains.

We make at least 100 a week.

Week 10 Results

Building Phase

Sakaki - "Fence and moat.  Done and done!"

You build a fence with a tiny moat around it.  It's decently far from your house to allow expansion.

Fence and Moat - Buildings protected.  +10 defense.

Research Phase

Artificers Forge - 5

Yuki: "Aha!  That was it!"
You successfully learn how to build an artificers forge.

Artificers Forge -      95 gems, 190 iron    -  Can forge tools and other artifacts.

Ferra: "Ooooooh.... Shiny....."

Research for Patchouli - 115

Yuki: "I could probably finish this off in a week if I really pushed it.

Dancer was oddly still as Yuki finished the circles.  Then again on the other hand that made sense.  A dancer had to have total control over their movements.

Yuki finished the spell then poured power into it.  "Your name is Maya!"

Maya immediately sprung into the air with joy, making a little piruette before langing and hugging Yuki before springing off to hug Mai.  "Thank you!"

Yuki was glad the devil had stuck to hugs, but she figured commenting on that might lead the girl to 'correct' her oversight.  "So what kind of dances can you do?  Anything magical?"

Maya blinked at the question.  "Er, sorry, I was too weak without a name to learn any magic dances.  I'm not even sure I can do that now.  It's kind of a lost art.  Still I can do anything else.  Couples dances, group dances, belly dancing, erotic dancing, court dancing, ice dancing.  Everything."

"Ice dancing?" Mai asked.

Maya nodded.  "Of course.  I actually specialize in couples dancing, as my intended purprose was to be summoned for troupes of dancers."

Yuki frowned.  "We don't actually have a troupe here to work with."

Maya nodded.  "It's okay.  I can work with other groups or do solo work just fine.  However until we get a stage I won't be able to go all out.  Unless you'll lift that ban on the dance of the seven..."

"Not a chance."

Maya sighed.  "Stage managers...."

Spells:
You name Maya
As a named devil her level is automatically increased by one.  For naming a devil, Morale and Max Morale have increased by 5.

Maya     Dancer   1   +50 income.

Maya:  "We don't have room for a stage yet, but I can still help Glenda."

Special Actions
1: Eskarina - Hunt down a place that contains Iron

Eskarina: "Hm...  There's a scrapyard in one of the lesser hells.  I can send Ruby there to clean it out."



2: Ruby - Get Coordinates

Ruby: "Time to clear the floor trash

Ruby gained 112 XP!  Ruby gained 48 iron, 15 gems, $360
Ruby gained a level.  Ruby learned Nightsever!

Ferra: "Well we can open the gate, but until I have a foundry I can't really work it fast enough to get constant production going."

3 + 4: Glenda + Maya - Disreguard Fame. Aquire Currency.

Glenda: "Right.  I can do that."
Maya: "Time for my named debue!"

The two managed to make $200, notoriety increased by 8.

5: Mai - Study the scroll

Mai: "Aha.  I've got something"

Mai learns Enhance Devil

Mai: "With this we can suffuse a devil with power and knowledge.  It'll double their effectiveness.  But they'll become exhausted for the next week."

Enhance Devil - 50 mana - Doubles Devils effectiveness at the cost of a week of exhaustion.  Only affects named devils.

6: Hibachi - Get more wood

Hibachi: "For free?  Well I can do that.  The market will suffer of course..."

Hibachi gained 24 wood.  Wood prices rose.

7: Artisan - Aquire cash.

Artisan: "I'm better with gems... But I suppose I could just have Hibachi sell them."

Artisan gained $89

8: Chou - Increase recipies

Chou: "I found the perfect book!  But I'll need some supplies to use these recipies."

Chou spent $700 on supplies.  Chou gained a level!

Chou   Cook   3   $60 income, Devils are less likely to become bored, +?% bar income

Yuki was putting the final period on her paper when a sharp staccato sound caused her to jump and spill the ink.  Swearing she rapidly saved what pepers she could before starting towards the door to see what the mess was.

As she approached the exit to the libary she heard Eskarina yell "Eat wrench Nazi!" then a solid clang.  Yuki sighed, then walked over.  Much to her distress Eskarina did in fact seem to be standing over an unconcious man in a WWII issue German uniform.

She decided to be direct.  "Eskarina.  Where's Ruby?"

Eskarina looked back.  "Ah!  Miss Yuki!  I think she's cleaning out the few that entered the house.  Most got trapped at the wall."

Yuki nodded.  "Well finish up here then.  And if you see Alouette tell her I spilled some ink.

Yuki proceeded to walk to the main entryway, setting a few passing annoyances on fire as she did (thank Shinki they made the place fireproof) then yelled up at Ruby (who seemed to be fighting a cyborg soldier), "Why are there Nazi's in my house!?"

Ruby shrugged and ducked a laser bolt while reclaiming her hat.  "They followed me home.  Can I kill them?"

"Can you?" Yuki reasonably asked.

"Er, if he let's me get a spell off," the devil replied.

Yuki sighed and lit the man up like a torch.  "No time for that.  We've got to make sure everyone else is okay."

At the end of the day Yuki found herself very glad they'd made the moat this week.  The only injury was Joan, who apparently took a bullet for Hibachi.  Fortunately Joan's healing abilities were stronger then most devils so Marie just suggested light work for the week.

Yuki: "Ruby, I don't care HOW integral a tragic doomed hometown is to the genre, you are not allowed to bring your enemies home."

Ruby: "Yes, ma'am.  Sorry ma'am."
Events:
Nazis....  Why did it have to be Nazis?  Fortunately the devils handle most of it with the new defenses.  Joan is injured, and the mansion takes $45 in damages.  You gain 6 stress

Heather is restless
From this weeks work you gained 2 stress

Okay, we really need to stop not giving Hibachi a set amount of wood to buy. That's the second week in a row.

Anyway, I propose we go all out on getting wood this week and aim for that Casting Chamber. I'm tired of a 100 Mana max.

[Serela]

Unless you're suggesting having all the Devils go gather wood or something, good luck with getting 200~ wood. We can't afford half of that.

Also, we've nearly named all the devils, so that will give us a LOT more mana to work with each week.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Wood prices up >.< And at this rate, we should go and buy some wood, or make some through Mana...

To speed things up, I was thinking we should buy like 400 or 500 Money worth of Wood.

We are going to need Gems and Iron as well for things like Casting Chamber and the Artificers Forge. Maybe sending Hibachi to find some(Like 5-10 Gems) without raising the price on them >.> Didn't the Artisan mention being better at making Gems then Money? If so, let's have her take a swing at making some.

[Kilgamayan]

We can have Eskarina and Hibachi go out looking for it/buying it, and we can make some ourselves. Considering Sakaki will put us at 403 minimum next turn, I think we can get 92 Wood between the three of us.

As much as I hate to say this, building occurs before the weekly production.

On a better note, Hibachi's market manipulation will slowly even out over time.

[Serela]

While we're at it, let's name Artisan too.

Well, that's NEXT week >:

Yeah, we can probably get the casting chamber next week.

Let's research money trees~

[Kilgamayan]

Actually, I have a twink question: If we cast Enhance Devil on a devil and then have Helecopter give them a massage that same week, will that help their Exhausted status?

Ninja: Yeah, I know. I didn't expect to build the Casting Chamber this turn, I wanted to have 495 wood next turn so we could build it then.

Ninja again: Apparently I was unclear about this the first time! Sorry about that.
