Succubus Manor - A sim magician game.

[Serela]

We're supposed to get PLUS 100 iron per turn not MINUS 100 ;_;

Anyway, after that, build da mansion! And lets try to finish Earth Mastery this turn, with more help from Mai and Eskarina~

We should transmute enough materials to hopefully be able to build something cool next turn. Maybe 20 Gem-To-Wood and 10 Gem-To-Iron. I messed up the number count last time and we totally wasted 50 mana because I'm derpy.

Oh and lets build two more tools for people. Take that out of Gems-To-Iron mana.

[mad]

Let's not build two tools. We still can't afford it from this weeks money

Convert 20 gems to wood and 10 gems to iron.

Build the office I say this because the conversion and next weeks wood income should cover this without leaving us with too little wood to build the mansion.

Research Earth mastery and pour the remaining into Wood mastery

Helepolis massages

Maria heals Ruby

Ferra forges something for Chou

Mai and Eskarina Research

Glenda and Maya put on a show to raise morale

Hibachi take 400 money to wheel and deal

Elminia supports Hibachi

Oh, whoops. Didn't bother looking at the money.

And we can build the mansion this turn, there was just a bit of a clerical error with the Iron count :3

It wouldn't be an update without one clerical error.   :X

[MysTeariousYukari]

That looks good. Marie healing Ruby as well, purely cause I don't like dealing with RNG more then I must. (lol)

Is building the Mansion a "Winner is You" thing, or would that be moreso "get everything built." 1st post mentions "Mansion of your dreams" so I wanna be sure. If Building the Mansion itself gives us the win then and their, we should delay it. Succubus Manor is way too fun :*

15 stress relieved

Hibachi walked in and set a large sack on the desk.  It clinked pleasantly.

Yuki carefully peered inside.  Then her eyes widened.  "Please don't tell me you robbed a bank."

Hibachi looked hurt.  "This was completely legit!  I just got a good lead."

Yuki raised an eyebrow.  "Really?  Where from?"

"Well you see, I was talking to Ruby about the worlds she found through that gate thing.  And apparently in one of them there's a plant that's a great headache cure.  So I used the money to set up a trade agreement with the villagers that harvest the stuff."  Hibachi said.

The devil smiled.  "Apparently it works really well on most devils, so buisness boosted really fast.  The plant's seasonal, and requires a lot of manufacturing to work at a useful level, but I made good cash selling it to a company that can make madicine out of it."

Yuki raised an eyebrow.  "Please don't tell me we're in the narcotics buisness now."

Hibachi looked slightly sheepish.  "Ah it's not that.  Well we aren't anyway.  I don't know about the places we sold the stuff to of course."

Yuki just sighed.  "Well whatever.  Not my problem."

After a moment the magician asked, "What's Marie think of it actually?"

"Er, I didn't quite understand everything she said, but she's looking into other uses for it.  Seems to think it might have potential in curing some diseases."

Yuki nodded.  "Well good work.  Tell Heather to start growing some then too.  Er, unless we can't."

Hibachi shrugged.  "No idea.  I'll go find out."

As the merchant devil walked out Yuki signed the last peice of paperwork then smiled.  "Alright!  Lab time."

Event:Hibachi's investment pays off big time.
Gained $4000.
This week's work caused 2 stress.
Joan is restless
Elle is bored

Can Devil summoning be used to have Elminia support herself?

[Janitor Morgan]

So if building the Clock Tower is our win condition, does that mean we should research Break 4th Wall at some point?

[MysTeariousYukari]

So if building the Clock Tower is our win condition, does that mean we should research Break 4th Wall at some point?

In theory, yes. That would unlock the Win Game spell. Break 4th wall is a lower priority then Patchy work and the Mastery spells. For me at least.

[Serela]

IMO nothing should really be lower priority then Patchy work, since we'll almost surely finish the game by it being due, even if we research and build everything else first.

This all sounds good, although I think we should build the spa next turn.

[Iced Fairy]

Just as a side note, Researching Win Game doesn't mean you win.

CASTING Win Game makes you win.

[Serela]

And it probably costs some ridiculous amount of mana that will take Empower Gem spamming for 4 turns. :V

[mad]

Just as a side note, Researching Win Game doesn't mean you win.

CASTING Win Game makes you win.

In that case, I propose that we cast Win game and build the clocktower on the same turn.

2 over.  New suggestions will bump others back.

Can Devil summoning be used to have Elminia support herself?

Yes

[MysTeariousYukari]

Unless it was for something particular, lets ditch the tour bit. The research is, in my opinion, better then the money gain.

[Hello Purvis]

Leaning toward Spa

[Serela]

The Gardens seem more like a frivolous thing that's nice but not terribly important, unless we start getting Morale problems. And if we're ever in a situation where we can't build anything else (Doubtful unless it comes down to a still expensive Clock Tower and nothing else), then they'll be there.

So, Spa.

[Iced Fairy]

Midterms are done so I'm back in action.

Yuki was relaxing in the new spa (again) when a massive voice boomed over the mansions grounds.

"Hear ye, hear ye!  As part of our great and noble effort to purify these dark lands, we the Fellowship of the Golden hand, hearby claim this mansion and declare it to be a temple dedicated to light!"

Yuki's eyes narrowed.  She reached for her robe.  "Okay, I'm going to kill these people myself."

Yuki's mood soured further when she saw the group was somehow inside the gates.  "What the hell, why are they inside Joan?"

Joan looked confused.  "I don't know.  They just appeared inside!"

The intruders were dressed in a style that had gone out of fashion even in Makai.  One wore robes, two others plate with strange symbols on them and the last heavy leathers.  The man in the robe just waved his hands.  "It's a simple magic, though of course beyond your comprehension."

Yuki was stunned by rage.

"Indeed." One of the men in plate said.  "But fear not, we have no plans of using our superior might to abuse you.  We simply shall civilize this place."

Yuki proceeded to set them all on fire.

She might have overdid it a little she decided, when the shockwave knocked her flying.  Fortunately she was able to correct herself before she hit the ground.  "Alright someone come and..."

Yuki's voice trailed off as she realized two of the figures were still standing.

"Looks like the meatshields are dead again," said the man in robes.

"Indeed," Said the other man in plate.  "I'll raise them tomorrow I suppose."

Yuki considered the matter for a moment, a second later Mai flew next to her and nodded.  "Joan, get everyone together as a group.  Me and Mai will keep them pinned for agroup strike."

"Oh dear, that sounds dangerous."  The mail in armor waved his hands and suddenly a creature of pure elemental fire sprang into being.  "I suppose we should break out the summons."

"Indeed, instant kills might fail against demonic magic resistance."

Yuki swore.  This was going to suck.

---

Mai and Yuki tried to hold alone, but the waves of summoned monsters backed by attack spells pushed them back.  They'd been forced to the hot springs and many of the devils had suffered minor injuries when they got their first break. 

"Oh dear.  Out of spells," said the man in the robes.

"Alright!  Now's our chance!"  Yelled Yuki.

The man in armor stepped back and tapped his friend on the shoulder.  "Right then.  Off to that temporal distortion plane."

They dissipated.

"Did we win?" Elle asked.

The answer rapidly became apparent when the two returned.  "Ah that was a good nights sleep.  Shall we get back to it?"

"Let's."

"Fuck." said Mai.

---

The resulting battle forced them back into the house.  At this point everyone'd taken some damage, and Joan had been wounded trying to save Mai from some strage phantasmal attack.  Still the devil fought on, keeping the others from breaking and running.  Yuki made a note to praise her after this was done.

Which hopefully would be soon.  Yuki raised her hands as the man in robes entered the lab.

One of Eskarina's strange devices began to whine.  The mage raised his hands to create a shield, but the scientific blast cut right through it.  He colapsed, chest smoking.

There was a cheer from the devils, but Yuki didn't celebrate yet.  The man in armor was still around, and he didn't seem worried at all.  Something seemed wrong.

A bag on the mage's person opened up and a duplicate of the mage exited it.  "Oh my, they killed my simulacrum."

"Indeed.  I told you to be careful."

"Well then, let's kick things up a notch."

---

They'd been forced down into the wine celler by the time they had a chance to pull off another trap.  Joan had been wounded again, but refused to leave.  Ferra and Helepolis had also been hurt, and were already retreating to their final defense point.  Yuki was wondering if they might need it.

This time the man in armor was first through the door.  Mai was there to greet him with an ice blast.

He opened his hand to return a fire spell, when Yuki used her most devious trick against him.  The flames in his hand spiraled out of control.  With a gasp of surprise he caught fire, then exploded.

This time there was no cheer, just a rain of projectiles at the mage.  However he immediately fell back.

Then there was a flash of painfully bright light, and the armored man was standing again. Unharmed.

"Oh craft contingent item, where would I be without you?"

"Dead apparently.  Shall we finish this?"

"Indeed."

The next few seconds was a hellish wave of noise as the two attacking magic weilders unleashed everything they had.  Mai and Yuki were forced to retreat, and Joan was knocked down sheilding Ferra from further harm.

Just when Yuki was about to surrender a voice called out, "Oh no!"

The fight somehow stopped as everyone turned to look at Ruby.  She pointed at an object between the two invaders.  "They've found the heart of Venca!  Anyone who cuts out their own heart and puts that in its place will gain cosmic power!  How could we have lost that!  Surely we are doomed."

Yuki looked incredulously at the devil.  Surely they wouldn't fall for THAT?

"Hm... I think I should take it.  You've got those alignment restrictions," the mage said.

"Oh no.  I need it more.  And I can be one step off," the armored figure replied.

Yuki and Mai waved their familiars silent as the arguement grew, then became heated.  Finally the two men started cursing and pointed at eachother, each calling upon forces beyond the veil.

The robed figures soul was ripped screaming from his body and cast into a black maw, while the armored figure turned to glass, then shattered.

Yuki let out a long sigh, then moved to check on Joan.  "Marie, get over here!  Alouette, check damages!  Everyone else, make sure there aren't any more summons about.

Cleaning up was going to be a bitch.

Event:Invasion!  Adventurers try to steal your house!
$1000 in damages, 7 stress, 8 morale lost.
This week's work caused 7 stress.
Marie prevented wounds to almost everyone and healed Joan slightly.
Ferra is hurt
Helepolis is hurt
Elspeth is hurt
Maya is hurt

Wow, that event was really something. Maybe we should build defense towers at some point.


Edit:  TT_TT mad hijacked the damn comp...

[Serela]

Joining Purvis with goddamn.

Anyway, I agree with... everything Colossusketch said, except I think we should just do 30 gems-to-wood instead of a 10-10 split, since we'll surely have the iron to knock out any two buildings next turn, but not the wood to do so.

[Hello Purvis]

Actually.

I'd recommend getting some towns and that barrier up and running. Because those dudes are going to be back. After buying more protection from minetown, and a couple new intrinsics.

I agree with all of the above, though I think we should save up the gems for that barrier.
