Succubus Manor - A sim magician game.

[Iced Fairy]

shouldn't Kirala now produce seven gems?

Yes.  Sorry I made sure to add it into your total, but forgot to alter the first page.

Is create foundation a one time casting or do we need to cast it repeatedly.

It must be cast once per building.

[Kasu]

Researching the Hot Spring and pouring the rest into Neverrust sounds good.

Also, the idea regarding the gems to iron and gems to wood sounds good.

Have Ruby grind.

Get Hibachi to get the books as mentioned before.

Also the actions regarding Glenda, Maya, Kirala, Ferra, and Joan all sound good.

Have Marie try to find a way to heal bigger injuries.

[mad]

Is create foundation limited to one casting per building?

Can we cast is one week and then that advantage of its effects on a later week?

[Hello Purvis]

It'd say Ruby is way more useful to us exploring randomly than grinding.

[Kasu]

It'd say Ruby is way more useful to us exploring randomly than grinding.

This would be true.

[Iced Fairy]

Is create foundation limited to one casting per building?

Can we cast is one week and then that advantage of its effects on a later week?

It's a permanent one time effect on a single building you can make.

Kirala: "We can work with this..."

5, 95 - The ore was bad and the Forge caught fire briefly.  However Kirala was able to turn the wreck into modern art to pay for the repairs, and get $42 extra.

There was a knock at the door to the study.  "Come in!" Yuki called out.

She was surprised when Heather walked in with a worried expression.  "Um... I'm afraid we have problems Miss Yuki.  There's going to be a drought."

Yuki blinked at the farmgirl.  "A drought?  How can you tell?"

Heather nodded.  "Well the rabbits are having smaller litters, and there's been a strange shift in the wind at sunset the last couple of nights."  Seeing Yuki's expression her wings fluttered a bit, "I'm telling you, it's the truth!  Being able to sense these sort of things is part of my nature."

Yuki considered the matter for a moment.  Heather had a point.  The devils were all skilled at their one field of choice.  They were all doing the work of two or three professionals in their field.  At least.  "Okay.  Grab Mai, Eskarina, Hibachi, Cassia, Elle and Alouette.  We'll need to plan this out.

***

Eskarina looked over Elles shoulder as she finished scribbling out the math problems.  "Hm...  She's right.  We're technically already in a drought, but we'll start feeling it next week.  And from these figure's it'll be about a month before things get better.

Mai tapped her hands on the desk.  "Are we good?"

Alouette nodded.  "If we start preparing now we'll be just fine for food.  In fact we should have extra we can keep selling, if not as much as normal."

Cassia nodded in agreement.  "Our finances will be secure too.  I'll invest in the proper commodities quickly."

Hibachi smirked.  "And it'll be a sellers market when everyone else catches on."

Yuki sighed in relief.  "So we'll actually make money off this then?"

Cassie shook her head.  "Sorry, but that's unlikely.  We're still losing all of Heather's income and our maneuvering this week can't make up for that.

Yuki rubbed her eyes as Hibachi continued.  "And the price of woods gonna go up too.  We're fine since we cheat a bit, but other people have to use local wood...."

"Well at least we won't be too badly hurt."  Yuki sighed.  "Anything else?"

Alouette nodded.  "Marie suggested some clothing that might better suit people for the hot weather.  I have a sample here."

Yuki looked at the highly altered witch dress that the maid held up.  "I can't help but notice the large heart shaped cutout over the chest area.  And the general shortness of the skirt."

"It has a nice hat as well," Alouette stated.

Yuki turned to Mai.  "How about you just air condition the place like usual."

Yuki wondered if she imagined the brief frown on Mai's face before the ice mage nodded in agreement.

Event:
A drought has come.  It will be 4 weeks before you will see rain again.
For the next 4 weeks crops will be weakened.
Heather will have no income.
Food prices will double, but you can't sell as much food so the other income sources will remain the same.

You gain 0 stress this week.
Alouette is restless
Heather is worried

Voting to build that Foundry.

[Hello Purvis]

>It's foundry time.
>Cast Foundation on that mammajamma
>Can we get Mai to make a portal to the Gem Mine? Or did this happen and I forgot about it?
>Can Ruby go outside of Makai?

[Iced Fairy]

>Can we get Mai to make a portal to the Gem Mine? Or did this happen and I forgot about it?

It is already done.  The gem mines beneath the fortress that seems to have been named "Boatmurdered" are already accessable.

>Can Ruby go outside of Makai?

Yes.  Via some friends, Ruby can actually travel through time if needed (though not within Gensoukyo or Makai's time stream).

[Hello Purvis]

WE MUST SEND RUBY TO STEAL THE MAGNA CARTA. RIGHT AFTER IT'S SIGNED.

Also we need to build like five hundred traps around that Boatmurdered portal ;_;

[Dorian White]

Finish the Create Hot Spring research, I assume that it includes the "bore a well" function.
Let's Heather and Apophis plan a irrigation system.

[Iced Fairy]

Finish the Create Hot Spring research, I assume that it includes the "bore a well" function.

Sadly the water created by the hot spring spell isn't really good for plants.

There is a rain spell on your research list though.

[Kilgamayan]

...Call Rain does seem kind of suited for this situation, doesn't it?

I bet you were planning this. >_>

[Iced Fairy]

....

Yes.  Yes, it was all planned.  Not purely randomly generated.

Trust me.

[Dorian White]

Sadly the water created by the hot spring spell isn't really good for plants.

There is a rain spell on your research list though.

It was just an idea, and the irrigation system is more supposed to keep Heather busy and as preparation for the next time than a solution for the current situation.
But we have to add a water reservoir to the irrigation system if the Hot Spring isn't available as water source.

[Kilgamayan]

So uh.

Voting Call Rain research.

[Serela]

Yes, research Call Rain and if there's leftover research use it for Hot Springs.

[MysTeariousYukari]

Yeah, we need the Call Rain spell, it'll cause all sorts of for us, good and bad.

> Build Foundary.
> Research Call Rain.

[Kasu]

Yes, research Call Rain and if there's leftover research use it for Hot Springs.

>It's foundry time.
>Cast Foundation on that mammajamma

All of this sounds good, though lets cast Dig as well to cut down on costs even farther.

Let's Heather and Apophis plan a irrigation system.

This sounds good as well, even if we do end up getting Call Rain.

Get Joan to attempt training again.  Get Ruby to explore randomly again.

Have Alouette and Eskarina look into a way to get the mansion even cleaner.

Also, since iron is hard to get convert some gems into the stuff if we have any leftover mana.

[mad]

>Cast Foundation on that mammajamma

Cast dig on the foundry if that is also feasable.

Transmute 2 gems to iron

Is ice box permanent?

Have Hibachi buy books on being a better merchant

Have Maya practice.

Have Maria get better at doctoring.

Have Mai research a new spell

[Hello Purvis]

Wouldn't we need Mai to accommodate multiple spellcastings?

[Iced Fairy]

Foundary

[Serela]

2 over? Ditch 7+8. It doesn't seem like a particularly useful action.

[MysTeariousYukari]

2 over? Ditch 7+8. It doesn't seem like a particularly useful action.

I agree.

Yuki relaxed on the roof of her giant house.  Apparently someone had given Shinki  the idea to put mirrors on the ceiling to reflect the light from the ice flows.  I was a very pretty display.

Suddenly there was a burst of light in the sky.  Yuki looked at the area, then reformed her eyes to better see into the darkness.

Eventually she pinpointed the disturbance apparently two dragons were fighting over something.  It was quite the show visually if not tactically.  One of the dragons obviously outclassed it's foe.

Finally after a spinning dive the larger faster dragon crushed it's opponents head and threw it aside, roaring in triumph.

Yuki started to look away when she realized what direction the corpse had be thrown in.

"Mai I need you up here!" Yuki yelled as she started tracking the falling object.  Sure enough it was set to drop on the east wing of the house.  The library.

As she waited for Mai she started going over her spells.  Lava stream seemed like the best one for deflecting errant dragons.

Mai was up quickly, shortly followed by Ruby.  "Can I help?" The leather clad demon asked.

"Sure, if you've got the blasting power." Yuki stated.  "When I give the signal Mai?"

Mai nodded.

As the dragon entered into range the three casters unleashed their spells.  Yuki and Mai's cascades of power clashed a bit creating a lot of steam, but between those and Ruby's wind gust the dragon corpse was pushed back.  It slammed into the wall then slid into the moat.

Yuki sighed.  "Call Allouette for clean up.  And see if Chou can get any dragon steaks out of it."

Event:
A dragon hit the wall.  There was little damage.  But it drew attention
25 wood worth of damage.  +10 notoriety.

You gain 2 stress this week.
Alouette is restless
Helepolis is restless
