Succubus Manor - A sim magician game.

[Kasu]

Build the Atlier.

We should do something with all our money, I propose Hibachi buy lots of books preferably on smithing. Ferra should probably go with her.

Research defense tower and put the rest into rapid growth.

I propose the planting of 10 money trees. even though we have quite a bit of cash it seems we still don't have enough to buy the materials to construct anything we can't already construct.

Ruby should look for a gem mine.

Glenda and Maya put on another show

Sounds like a good enough reason to start buying and magic-making Iron to me.

Might as well name the Waitress as well; perhaps we'll have an event from it.

Let's name her Elmina.

I agree with everything above.

Also, should we go for the massage this week?

[MysTeariousYukari]

Question: will buying tons of Iron make it's price go up, at all? Or is it all Hibachi? How do we raise Hibachi's level?

[Iced Fairy]

Question: will buying tons of Iron make it's price go up, at all? Or is it all Hibachi?

Prices raise and fall with notoriety and market manipulation to get discounts.  Unless you're ordering more then 5000 iron in one shot you won't even budge the general market through normal purchasing.

How do we raise Hibachi's level?

The Hibachi level raising structure is still locked, but it exists.

[Hello Purvis]

Let's do Defense tower, then Rapid growth for research purposes.

[Iced Fairy]

Current suggested actions:

1: Hibachi hunts down ironworking books
2: Ruby gets a portal space for a gem mine.
3+4: Glenda and Maya draw in the crowds.

Also we've got a tie between making iron with the excess mana and planting money trees.  (Assuming you want to name Waitress)

[MysTeariousYukari]

Suggestion: Have Hibachi buy 42+ Wood, and we then build the Atlier and Wall. Assuming we can double build. if we can't, even with the needed stuff, instead Buy 25+ wood, and Build Atlier.

Massage, as per usual.

Waitress Name: Elmina is fine with me, that or Lumia.

[Hello Purvis]

Let us consider having the bartender host a wine-tasting. Done properly, it should rake in some golds and increase happiness.

[Serela]

Elmina for the waitress sounds good.

[Hello Purvis]

Let's have Ferra and Kirala JOIN FORCES to create a hella cool thing between them.

Edit: Maybe have Heather look for more animals; with Joan to accompany her if things go wrong.

[Pesco]

##Hammer Vote: Making Iron

[Kasu]

Let us consider having the bartender host a wine-tasting. Done properly, it should rake in some golds and increase happiness.

Since Elspeth seems to know her stuff when it comes to this, try to get her in on it too.

Week 13 Results

I'm ashamed of myself for not catching this....

1: Eskarina - Find Gems

Eskarina: "Sorry I'm late!"

Escarina found a series of tunnels in the jeweled ceiling of Makai.  Ruby would need to find a place for a portal however.

Market Phase


Building Phase

Sakaki: "An Atlier eh?  Too bad we can't do alchemy there..."

You built the Atlier.  Kirala's level increased by one.

Kirala

Artisan

2

+25 income, +5 gems

Kirala: "It's great, but there's room for expansion."

Research Phase

Defense Towers - 50

You finished researching Defense Towers!  You can build up to 12.  Each costing 48 wood, 48 iron, 4 gems and costing 25 mana.  They grant +10 defense.

Yuki: "Hm.   Bet there's a way to increase their power."

You learned rapid growth.  For 5 mana you can instantly harvest a crop you ask Heather for.
Heather - "Well that's handy."

Yuki: "Hm... Maybe there's some other useful gardening style spells..."

Waitress looked like the kid picked last for teams, and to be fair, she kind of was.

Yuki was uncertain exactly how much use she had for a waitress.  I mean, sure it was good to have someone who was innately immune to dojikko antics, but all the other jobs seemed more useful.  Still she didn't think saying that out loud would be fair.  And she wasn't going to let the poor girl sit and wait for a name while all the others wandered around on a whole different level of power.

Throwing those thoughts aside Yuki completed the circles and focused.  "Your name is Elminia!"

The miniskirted devil slowly smiled.  "Thank you so much Miss Yuki!  I'll be sure to show you how much I can help now!"

"Sure..." Yuki replied.  "Uh, do you need anything for your work?"

Elminia thought for a moment.  "No, not unless you want me on rollerskates.  I think that's out of style these days, but some people like the retro bit.  Really all I need is customers and this smile!"

She grinned.  It was a pretty good smile.  Yuki swore she could almost hear the light reflecting.

"Though I suppose we could add mirrors or something to..."

"I don't want to run that kind of establishment," Yuki stated.

Elminia thought for a moment.  "I suppose most of our customers would have skirts too, and for some reason people get touchy about that.  Oh well."

"I any case, I can track orders flawlessly, carry food for 8 at full speed and work 12 hour days without loosing my cool," Elminia said.  "So the more jobs you give me the more I can help get cash in."

Yuki pondered that.  "Hm...  Okay then.  I might have some other odd jobs for you as well..."

Spells:

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

Elminia   Waitress    1   +$5 income for every food based bulding (Currently 2).

Elminia - "Don't worry about me.  I can run a hotel resturant by myself.  Well except for the cooking of course."

You create 5 iron

Yuki: "If someone makes a pylon joke I'm going to set them on fire."

Special Actions
1: Ruby - Clear out the mines

Ruby: "Okay.  I should be fine so long as there are no snakes."

Ruby: "Augh!  Giant Snakes!"

Failure.  Ruby gains 10xp.  The area is not cleared.

Ruby: "Sorry.  They got the jump on me."

2: "Shotglass" - Wine tasting

"Shotglass": "Er... Mind if I pass that off to Elspeth?  I don't see many mixed drinks to serve up at those events."

Elspeth: "Leave it to me Mistress.  I know everything there is to know about wines."

Gained 67gp.  Gained 3 notoriety.

3: Hibachi - Acquire Ironworking Books.

Hibachi: "Here's a few ideas she could try out."

Ferra: "Hm... Nothing big but maybe I can use it for the 'thing' you ordered."

Ferra's special task skill increased!  Hibachi paid for the book via trades.

4+5: Glenda and Maya please the crowds

Glenda: "Grant me the power to revolutionize the world!"

Yuki: "Huh.  I figured the roles would be switched."

Gained $323, 1 notoriety.

6 + 7: Ferra and Kirala - Make cool thing

Ferra: "It's a Gundam!"

Kirala: "Okay, it's a 1:1 scale Gundam replica."

Sanae: "I'll take it! ^_^ "

Yuki: "Where did you come from!?"

Yay!  You sold a Gundam for 500 pix!

8: Get a Massage

Helepolis: "Oh, afterwards Alouette wanted to see you..."

9 stress has gone away.

Yuki glanced at Mai before carfully following her into the dark room.

On there entrance there was a sudden flash as the lights all came on.  The room was covered in banners and streamers.  To thier sides there were two portraits, one of Yuki, the other of Mai.  The talbes were filled with food and the bar was fileld to the brim.  At the other end of the dining hall stood the entire troupe of devils headed by Alouette.  "Thank you Mistresses for naming us all!"

There was a series of pops and confetti streamed down across the room.  Yuki stood stunned as the little devils all ran forward to offer thier personal thanks.

"I hope everything is to taste.  Heather picked out her finest crops and livestock.  And come by and visit the kitchens a bit more!  I promise I'll make you something special!"

"Alouette spent the last week setting this all up!  Do you like the special tables I made?"

"Don't worry about the cost, me and Hibachi took care of it out of our own funds."

"Yeah, we both owe you big for this.  Without you we'd still be minor league."

"You're to have fun tonight!  Doctors orders!"

"I've gotten rid of all that stress, so now it's time to cut loose!"

"Maya's putting on a show tonight."

"I set up a temporary stage, but I think it'll do for tonight."

"Eskarina and Ferra have fireworks set up!"

"And Glenda's gonna sing!"

"I've gotten some fine liquor imported from all the friends I've met adventuring."

"And I've got the best drinks you can make from that down perfect."

Joan pushed through the crowd and took her and Mai by the hand.  "But first lets let you take your seats.  Elminia can grab anything if you need it."

Yuki let herself be taken to the head of the table, where she and Mai took the two large chairs there.  Mai seemed to be just as shocked as she was.

Elle moved up and gave another bow.  "Um, I have a note from Koakuma thanking you for naming all of our sisters.  And well... I know that I'm not actually bound to either of you.  But I'm glad I'm able to serve you."  The devil flushed and bowed again.  "Thank you!"

After a few moments Mai raised her glass and looked at Yuki.  "Told you it was a good idea."

"Yeah.  Yeah it was."  Yuki smiled and raised her own glass.  "A toast!  To the best idea Mai's ever had!"

Event:
The succubi threw a party for you in thanks for being named.
Morale is set to Max.  Max Morale increased by 30!

No stress this week.

> Build Wall.
> Reasearch either Dig or New Attacks
> Create Iron Spell to make at LEAST 10 Iron.

Edit: Best. Random Event. Ever!

[Kilgamayan]

Dig looks interesting. Wanna research that?

[MysTeariousYukari]

Dig looks interesting. Wanna research that?

Sure, then the rest into New Attacks.

Iced Fairy: Is their anything we can use money for other then buying Iron, Wood and Gems? Aside from actions like Parties?

[Doll.S CUBE]

Awwww, that's so sweet.

Also, how much Iron can we get out of 'Transmute gems to iron' for a single gem?

[Iced Fairy]

Iced Fairy: Is their anything we can use money for other then buying Iron, Wood and Gems? Aside from actions like Parties?

Well money gets used for repairs, and if you can find them (VERY HARD) books.  Money will also be used for other minor things in the future, but you haven't unlocked that yet.

Also, how much Iron can we get out of 'Transmute gems to iron' for a single gem?

Much better then if you sold it.

[mad]

build the wall

convert all mana to iron

Ruby should continue clearing out the mines

Mai should research a spell

Hibachi should seek out architecture books and books to aid her own skills(priority on architecture)

[Janitor Morgan]

convert all mana to iron

Most of the buildings available to us require far more wood than iron, though. Or were we going to build some defense towers first?

[mad]

I plan to have us build a foundry as soon as possible. that way, we would have a decent flow of iron.

[Kasu]

I plan to have us build a foundry as soon as possible. that way, we would have a decent flow of iron.

Guy makes a good point.  I second the mana-to-iron conversion.

build the wall

Ruby should continue clearing out the mines

Mai should research a spell

Hibachi should seek out architecture books and books to aid her own skills(priority on architecture)

Also agreeing with all of this, as well as researching Dig and New Attacks.

Lets see if Eskarina can research a way, along with Apophis, to cut down further on the cost of buildings.

Lastly, check with Helepolis to see if there is something we can do to increse her effectiveness at massages.

[Dorian White]

I plan to have us build a foundry as soon as possible. that way, we would have a decent flow of iron.

That's a good idea but would it be more effective if we Enhance Ferra and use the "remain" mana for iron?

[mad]

enhancing Ferra would not increase our maximum possible mana flow because she work not be able to work next week. I don't think we shoul enhance and cure spam her for iron because that would really eat through morale.

[Kasu]

enhancing Ferra would not increase our maximum possible mana flow because she work not be able to work next week. I don't think we shoul enhance and cure spam her for iron because that would really eat through morale.

Agreed.  We need Ferra to be healthy right now because of the slow rate at which iron is made, and I feel a boost plus a week of not being able to work doesn't seem like it will help the situation much.

[Pesco]

Resources are for spending. Turn gems into iron as we need it. With the dig spell we might unearth more of them shinies.

[Dorian White]

We haven't researched the Gems to Iron spell jet and even if we invest all our mana in iron it will take 10 weeks till we have enough for the Foundry.
Also we never used the Charm spell so we don't know how much moral it costs, we can leave it if it's too expensive but I didn't see a reason why we shouldn't try it at last once.

[Hello Purvis]

Trying charm out just to try it sounds like it'd probably just cause issues.

[Dorian White]

Maybe I didn't made myself clear, what I want to suggest is that we Enhance Ferra and use Cure and Charm to solve the Exhausted problem.

[Iced Fairy]
