Mar 22 16:30:21 <Hebizuka> [Session start!] Mar 22 16:31:22 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Welcome back to the Mazes, Reina Miyako-Knight. On the last session, you and your new Fiend ally Priam found yourselves inside of the Heshbar Mines. Joe Sutter is waiting for you at the top, but you decided you'd like to see what the mines are like at the deepest level, on Level -24..._ Mar 22 16:31:40 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _All you have to do is to use the elevator and transport yourself to L24..._ Mar 22 16:32:20 <HashiBot> <Reina> Let's just make veeery sure I'm ready. Are my shotguns loaded? Am I FILLED TO BURSTING WITH BALLS? Mar 22 16:33:07 <HashiBot> <Reina> Priam still has the Browning, which - eh, fuck it, I'm probably not gonna have time to go quiet, anyways. Mar 22 16:33:17 <HashiBot> <Reina> Not with Priam, that big lug, following me. Mar 22 16:33:28 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The big lug in question has natural Agi +1._ Mar 22 16:33:39 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _He's already more likely than most to succeed his stealth checks._ Mar 22 16:33:59 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Other than that, all of your other weapons are loaded to full, and you are at 10 /10._ Mar 22 16:34:04 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Tanuki Balls that is_ Mar 22 16:34:12 <HashiBot> <Reina> Greaaaat. Mar 22 16:34:16 <HashiBot> <Reina> Let's head to the bottom~ Mar 22 16:34:26 <HashiBot> <Reina> "So, is Hell deeper than this?" Mar 22 16:37:44 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Hell is not located at a certain depth. It's a stereotype. Our home is best described as being in a parallel dimension instead. Mar 22 16:39:11 <HashiBot> <Reina> "You misunderstand. I'm not asking if Hell is /literally/ deeper than the subterranean. I'm asking how the elevation is." Mar 22 16:39:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Unless you're telling me Hell is a 2D plane that can also be examined by higher dimensional beings that talk shop about how entertaining you guys are." Mar 22 16:40:16 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I don't have any idea what you're talking about, now. Mar 22 16:41:18 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Are you ready to use the elevator?_ Mar 22 16:42:49 <HashiBot> <Reina> "You live in a parallel dimension and you have what's probably 5 millennia on me but you don't understand alternative dimensional physics? Cripes, no wonder you guys have been at a standstill with those angelic faith traitors." Mar 22 16:43:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> Hip sway, button pressed! All the way to the bottom. Mar 22 16:43:14 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** The only part I care about is that you think the Angelics are traitors. That's good enough for me. Mar 22 16:45:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The elevator transports you to Level 24 nearly instantly. The deepest part of the Heshbar Mines smell of depth and sulfur. You have the sensation that simply being there puts you in a lot of danger... Before you are six mineshaft entrances, labeled 24/A to 24/F. Which one do you want to check out first?_ Mar 22 16:45:27 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Fiiiive millenia." Mar 22 16:45:37 <HashiBot> <Reina> Let's go with 24/A first. Mar 22 16:45:47 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _24/A has 18 sections to explore._ Mar 22 16:45:53 <HashiBot> <Reina> Sounds good. Mar 22 16:46:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also, heads up. I am, uh, /way/ faster than you when needs must." Mar 22 16:46:10 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _When ready to enter the first section, toss a 1d100. You're well advised to get ready for a fight._ Mar 22 16:46:26 <HashiBot> <Reina> "So when I inevitably run away first, don't worry, I'm coming back for you." Mar 22 16:46:32 <HashiBot> Command sent from Discord by Reina: Mar 22 16:46:33 <HashiBot> @roll 1d100 Mar 22 16:46:33 <MazeBot> HashiBot: 79 Mar 22 16:47:19 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also I have sooooo maaaany medical supplies, so I swear on the Four Gods that I'll get you back and rocking at full hardness if you get dented a bit." Mar 22 16:47:40 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** ...You should probably not swear on the Angelic gods in front of me, that's not gonna end well. Mar 22 16:48:05 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Now, if you swear AT them... Mar 22 16:49:02 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You enter Section 1 out of 18 of Mineshaft 24/A... And the first thing you find is an **ore patch!** There are **20 ore bundles** of **Krutaite ore** here (30% copper, 70% selenium)._ Mar 22 16:50:17 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Did Lucy not tell you /anything/ about me? Or how I am calling the Angelics /faith traitors/ and thus implying I hold loyalty to something above them?" Mar 22 16:50:45 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Annnnyways, how much is Coppor and Selenium? I don't actually know how all these mining prices work." Mar 22 16:50:59 <HashiBot> <Reina> Reina does the wavy and gesture thing. "Low, Medium, High?" Mar 22 16:51:08 <HashiBot> <Reina> hand* Mar 22 16:51:29 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Priam has no idea. He simply shrugs._ Mar 22 16:54:07 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Lucy really, /really/ sucks with his hired help. Seriously, pure muscle is the last thing I need." Mar 22 16:54:15 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Okay, well, let's carry on. Maybe I'll find gold." Mar 22 16:54:33 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You left the patch of Krutaite ore in Section 1. Toss a 1d100 when ready to move deeper._ Mar 22 16:56:21 <HashiBot> Command sent from Discord by Reina: Mar 22 16:56:21 <HashiBot> @roll 1d100 Mar 22 16:56:21 <MazeBot> HashiBot: 74 Mar 22 16:57:47 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Luck seems to favor you... Another **ore patch!** There are **27 ore bundles of Electrum ore** here! (45% gold, 55% silver). This is a very rare type of ore!_ Mar 22 16:58:09 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Okay, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm fairly sure that's valuable. Mar 22 17:00:18 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yeah okay time to bust out the pickaxe." Mar 22 17:00:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> 27 strikes, Electrum ore. Mar 22 17:01:02 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _To avoid dice spam, I recommend no more than 20 dice throws at once._ Mar 22 17:01:14 <HashiBot> Command sent from Discord by Reina: Mar 22 17:01:14 <HashiBot> @roll 20#1d100 Mar 22 17:01:14 <MazeBot> HashiBot: 86;17;80;70;27;10;17;6;63;62;63;30;65;49;16;76;22;97;67;35 Mar 22 17:01:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> Well, one. Mar 22 17:01:43 <HashiBot> <Reina> Alternatively - 2? If lower is better. Mar 22 17:02:32 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Extraction success occurs on a **1 - 10**. Out of the 20 strikes you delivered, you managed to extract **2** bundles. 25 to go._ Mar 22 17:02:55 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You burned 300 ntri and 160 wtr._ Mar 22 17:03:33 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _One moment, please..._ Mar 22 17:04:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah this is going to require explosives." Mar 22 17:04:15 <HashiBot> <Reina> "PRIAM, GET THE C4 READY." Mar 22 17:05:50 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1462 grams - Weight: 2.92 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:05:50 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1373 grams - Weight: 2.75 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:06:06 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Priam, bag 'em. And C4 'em." Mar 22 17:06:24 <HashiBot> <Reina> "The ore patch. Not the ore bundles." Mar 22 17:09:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Priam spends a turn to drop his backpack, and immediately drops all of the C4 he was carrying, for you to set up and use._ Mar 22 17:10:11 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _He spends 2 more turns acquiring the ore bundles._ Mar 22 17:11:02 <HashiBot> <Reina> I set up one C4 by the ore patch, and then make sure I, Priam, and ALL THE OTHER C4 Mar 22 17:11:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> Is nowhere near the thing. Mar 22 17:11:46 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Don't worry, you will not accidentally detonate anything you didn't want to._ Mar 22 17:11:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Setting the C4 on the ore patch will only blow up the ore patch._ Mar 22 17:12:13 <HashiBot> <Reina> Right, but it's the principle of the thing. Mar 22 17:12:18 <HashiBot> <Reina> Now, I'm ready to detonate. Mar 22 17:12:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Uno momento..._ Mar 22 17:15:42 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Did you want to plant a mini charge (8), or a small charge (1)?_ Mar 22 17:16:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> I'll plant the mini charge. Mar 22 17:17:24 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You spent a turn planting the mini C4 charge on the ore patch. You may plant another, or command-detonate what's planted already. Using the detonator is a free action._ Mar 22 17:18:26 <HashiBot> <Reina> I'll detonate first. Mar 22 17:19:51 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You reach for your clacker, take the safety off, and squeeze it as hard as you can._ Mar 22 17:20:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _K-TOOM! The mini C4 charge, despite being a very small amount, detonates with a thunderous roar which reverberates in the whole mineshaft!_ Mar 22 17:20:55 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The explosion freed **3** extra ore bundles! 22 to go._ Mar 22 17:21:04 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Please wait while their sizes are being determined..._ Mar 22 17:22:08 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1509 grams - Weight: 3.02 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:22:08 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1630 grams - Weight: 3.26 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:22:08 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1406 grams - Weight: 2.81 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:22:40 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I wonder if I'll have enough for a set of jewelry." Mar 22 17:22:52 <HashiBot> <Reina> Alright, ANOTHER mini C4. Mar 22 17:24:55 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You took a mini C4 charge from the ground, and spent a full turn planting it. Ready to detonate?_ Mar 22 17:25:19 <HashiBot> <Reina> Ready ready. Mar 22 17:25:21 <HashiBot> <Reina> BOOM Mar 22 17:25:28 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _KABLAMM!_ Mar 22 17:25:45 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _This explosion freed **4** ore bundles! 18 to go._ Mar 22 17:26:30 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1678 grams - Weight: 3.36 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:26:30 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1428 grams - Weight: 2.86 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:26:30 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1529 grams - Weight: 3.06 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:26:30 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1519 grams - Weight: 3.04 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:26:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> Well, at least I'm getting easy, if expensive, experience. Mar 22 17:26:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> Also holy fuck these things are heavy. Mar 22 17:27:15 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Total ore bundles extracted so far: 11. Therefore, you have **11 SP** in Mining._ Mar 22 17:27:59 <HashiBot> <Reina> Another Mini charge, another explosion. Mar 22 17:28:11 <HashiBot> <Reina> And hey, by the end of this, I'll actually have some meager skill in Mining. Mar 22 17:29:52 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Another mini C4 goes on the ore patch... and BOOM!_ Mar 22 17:30:31 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _This explosion freed another **3** ore bundles! You mined out a total of 12 out of 27._ Mar 22 17:30:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Generating them..._ Mar 22 17:31:07 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1669 grams - Weight: 3.34 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:31:07 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1259 grams - Weight: 2.52 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:31:07 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1675 grams - Weight: 3.35 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 17:33:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> Annnnd another mini c4 and explosion. Mar 22 17:33:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Priam, you still got space in the bag, yeah?" Mar 22 17:34:10 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I should be good to carry all of that, so far. Mar 22 17:34:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You spent another turn to plant another mini charge... and KAWHAM!_ Mar 22 18:30:38 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Another **4** ore bundles have been torn from the patch!_ Mar 22 18:31:33 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1464 grams - Weight: 2.93 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 18:31:33 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1317 grams - Weight: 2.63 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 18:31:33 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1397 grams - Weight: 2.79 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 18:31:33 <Hebizuka> [Ore] Bundle of Electrum ore (45% gold/55% silver), very rare - 1555 grams - Weight: 3.11 (0.01 per 5g, 1 per 500g) Mar 22 18:31:52 <HashiBot> <Reina> "You know, I'd usually cackle at all of this, but."

Maybe I can roll high and get lucky. Mar 22 18:38:21 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You spent a turn and planted the small charge, nearly three times bigger than the mini charge. Ready to detonate?_ Mar 22 18:39:19 <HashiBot> <Reina> BOOOOOOOOOM Mar 22 18:39:35 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The explosion is louder, more powerful, and seems to cause the whole mine to tremble for a while..._ Mar 22 18:40:12 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Unfortunately, the explosion only ripped out **4** more ore bundles.

Mar 22 18:45:51 <HashiBot> <Reina> Alas, if only they were discrete measuresmeants of 1. Mar 22 18:45:55 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I'll drop you what I want you to carry. (And retake the last C4 charge) Mar 22 18:47:27 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Sure, but you might be lugging a shotgun for a little bit."

Mar 22 18:52:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> Okay, first, empty Kel-tec into Priam's arms. Mar 22 18:53:01 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Current Mining skill levle: **29 SP** - Unskilled_ Mar 22 18:53:21 <HashiBot> <Reina> Actually wait Mar 22 18:53:23 <HashiBot> <Reina> WAIT. Mar 22 18:53:37 <HashiBot> <Reina> "No, not the Kel-Tec. PRiam, hold the chainsaw." Mar 22 18:53:53 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Priam equips the Chainsaw in Primary 2. Mar 22 18:54:04 <HashiBot> <Reina> A turn to drop the bag, and then to give him the chainsaw. Mar 22 18:54:11 <HashiBot> <Reina> "And now I have enough space." Mar 22 18:54:27 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _After dropping the backpack and giving him the weapon, which took 2 turns (waived)_ Mar 22 18:54:40 <HashiBot> <Tempest> (( I'm counting this as being done while Priam is loading his ore in the bag.

Mar 22 18:55:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> Then let's get the fuck OUT of here. Mar 22 18:55:48 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You spent 8 turns (merged, so already spent) loading your bag with the following:_ Mar 22 18:55:54 <HashiBot> <Reina> "And those miners didn't think we'd survive down here.

Mar 22 18:57:28 <HashiBot> <Reina> "After this, we'll make a stop at the jewelry store." Mar 22 18:57:43 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Thanks again for being a packmule, Priam. Do let me know when it gets too aggrivating." Mar 22 18:57:59 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Once both of you are finished loading the enormous amounts of ore into your respective backpacks, you decide it's not worth it to chance it anymore. You turn back, returning to the elevator sector, spending 2 turns to travel there._ Mar 22 18:58:23 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Use the elevator to return to Level 0?_ Mar 22 18:58:39 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I'm just doing my job, miss Reina. Mar 22 18:59:31 <HashiBot> <Reina> Not like I have enough room for it. Mar 22 18:59:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Sure, but you're doing a /good/ job. And good jobdoers get to do good people." Mar 22 18:59:57 <HashiBot> <Reina> Ha haaaa~, shitty sex jokes. Mar 22 19:00:14 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** _<Dry attempt at humor.>_ If only I was an incubus, miss Reina. Mar 22 19:00:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The elevator carries you all the way back to the top level, which really is the floor level..._ Mar 22 19:01:58 <HashiBot> <Reina> "We'll get you there. I'm not travelling around with a /prude."/ Mar 22 19:02:31 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You're back at the top floor. The elevator access room is one room to the south. The ore bank, where Sutter is waiting for you, is four rooms to the south._ Mar 22 19:03:34 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Hey Sutter, I'm back with a big, FAT load all over my back!" i make sure to shout, so everyone - even the ones rooms over - will hear. Mar 22 19:03:42 <HashiBot> <Reina> To the South! Mar 22 19:03:49 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Going to the ore bank?_ Mar 22 19:05:07 <HashiBot> <Reina> Oreeee baaaank. Mar 22 19:07:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> "So, I have, EASILY, more than enough gold and silver in Priam's bag. It was literally overflowing." Mar 22 19:07:14 <HashiBot> <Reina> "How much do I get to cash out?" Mar 22 19:08:26 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Your Mine Access Pass is exhausted, you can no longer return to the mines until you purchase a new one._ Mar 22 19:08:37 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You traveled 4 rooms south to the Ore Bank._ Mar 22 19:08:58 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** I was wondering where you were. You didn't meet any dangerous creatures on the way, did you? Mar 22 19:09:15 <HashiBot> <Reina> Man, I need to work on being louder. Mar 22 19:09:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I left a huge steaming pile of corpses on my way there and my way back. And we have big, PHAT loads all over Priam's back." Mar 22 19:09:58 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Priam, show him... your goods." Mar 22 19:10:20 <HashiBot> <Reina> I drop my backpack as well, to take out the bundles of ore I was forced to carry as well. Mar 22 19:11:03 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** Well... I'll be damned. Mar 22 19:11:16 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The ore bank miner laughs._ Mar 22 19:11:29 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** You owe me fifty bucks, Joe. I told you they'd come back with the motherlode. Mar 22 19:11:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** Ah, damn... Mar 22 19:12:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'm sorry, Sutter, were you betting on us dying?" Mar 22 19:12:16 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Let's see if we ever come to this mine again, ya dick." Mar 22 19:12:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** I was betting on you coming back with a tiny amount of ore! Not on you dying! Gosh, geez. Would I bet on your life when I'm lamenting we don't have _enough_ miners? Mar 22 19:12:49 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** Anyway, I'll let my colleague explain how it works. Mar 22 19:14:39 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Because people are dicks. Anyway, it's all gold and silver, so walk me through my paces, handsome." Mar 22 19:15:16 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** Alright, so, as you can probably guess, this is the place to come to if you've got ore to turn in. We'll take metal ores as well as gemstone ores. In exchange, you may get metal ingots, cut gemstones, or just money. Mar 22 19:15:49 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** What can be turned in for what depends on the element, but generally there is always the option to get straight cash. Mar 22 19:17:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Well, here's tons of gold and silver." Mar 22 19:17:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> "And some other - stuff, I guess." Mar 22 19:17:41 <HashiBot> <Reina> "It's mostly the gold and silver." Mar 22 19:17:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> PLOP. Mar 22 19:18:25 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** I'm first going to tally all of the ore you brought me, then we'll figure it out from that point on. Mar 22 19:20:25 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Have at. As long as I make more than 6k I'm happy." Mar 22 19:20:34 <HashiBot> <Reina> "C4's ridiculously expensive as a problem solver." Mar 22 19:27:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> "So how does it work? This Electrum looks like it's gold /and/ silver, so you guys can seperate 'em out?" Mar 22 19:30:38 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** It's a natural alloy. We can send this ore to relevant factories and production areas to separate the metals, or we just smelt it as it is. Electrum is notably used to make the 50 P$ coins, it has a distinctive green hue. Mar 22 19:30:47 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** Just one second. Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> < Heshbar Mines - Ore bank > Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> ORES TO PROCESS Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Clausthalite ore (70% lead, 30% selenium): 222 grams Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Electrum ore (45% gold, 55% silver): 39 652 grams (39 652 kilograms) Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Total lead ore: 222 grams Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can be sold for **33.30 P$** Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Total gold ore: 17 843 grams Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can be sold for **35 686 P$** Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Total silver ore: 21 809 grams Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can be sold for **17 447.20 P$** Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> Other actions Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can turn gold into **ingots** (17 750 grams can be turned into ingots. 71 ingots of 250 grams, 35 ingots of 500 grams, or 17 ingots of 1000 grams, or any suitable combination thereof. The difference will be turned into cash.) Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can turn silver into **ingots** (21 750 grams can be turned into ingots. 87 ingots of 250 grams, 43 ingots of 500 grams, or 21 ingots of 1000 grams, or any suitable combination thereof. The difference will beturned into cash.) Mar 22 19:42:56 <Hebizuka> > Can turn gold and silver into **electrum ingots** (113g gold + 137g silver + 135 P$ fee = 250 grams. Multiply values by 2 or 4 for 500 and 1000 ingots.) Mar 22 19:44:34 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Weight reminder: Metal ingots weigh 0.5 units per 250 grams. (500 = 1 unit, 1000 = 2 units)_ Mar 22 19:44:59 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** Well, ma'am, I've got the pleasure to announce that you're officially, absolutely rich. Mar 22 19:45:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _He claps in congratulations, as does Joe Sutter, and a number of other miners that grouped together to watch the massive haul._ Mar 22 19:46:35 <HashiBot> <Reina> "That's - okay, I'm sorry. Can you... tally that up for me?" Mar 22 19:47:21 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Those numbers are too big for me. And I have NEVER said that in my life." Mar 22 19:47:25 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** If you sell everything for cash, you have a total of **fifty-three thousand, one hundred and sixty-six Parallars... and fifty cents.** (**53 166.50 P$**) Mar 22 19:48:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> Reina has to prop her elbows on the counter and rest her eyes. Her vision is swimming, and NOT from dehydration. Mar 22 19:48:51 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Okay, and - there's a jewelry store, right? So I can go over there and convert ingots to jewelry?" Mar 22 19:50:53 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'm not sure how that works. I make my money on my back, not with explosives." Mar 22 19:51:18 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank miner]** Heshbar Treasures? Yeah, the lady that works there is the best in the business, too. You do need to bring her ingots, and gemstones if you have any, if you want her to build jewels for you. She makes unique pieces no other jeweler in the Mazes can. Mar 22 19:52:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'm sure everyone tells her that. So, say I make ingots, go to her, get some jewelry. I can come back here and sell the leftover ingots, right?" Mar 22 19:53:11 <HashiBot> <Reina> "And would I lose money from doing that? The whole 'always buy at half price' rule kicking in? Or is it already calculated in that ridiculous monster sum you gave me?" Mar 22 19:55:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** Lose money? No, not at all. The jewel making service is free, for one, and the jewels made that way are more valuable than the raw materials. Sure, if you sold the jewels back to her afterwards, you'd only get half their market value that way... Mar 22 19:55:34 <HashiBot> <Reina> "No, I meant me, selling you, leftover ingots." Mar 22 19:55:34 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** But if you just want to make a couple of shinies to wear for yourself, that's at no cost to you at all if you bring all the materials. Mar 22 19:55:49 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** Oh, no. All valuables are sold at cost. Mar 22 19:56:45 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Perfect. Then cash me out everything except, ah... four 1000 gram Electrum ingots, please. I need some decoration for my puppies. And my navel. And my clit." Mar 22 19:56:55 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Hope that's a pleasing image, handsome." Mar 22 19:57:28 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Sutter]** A kilogram of gold is always 2000 P$. It's a bartering good, really. Mar 22 19:59:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'm using them for jewelry." Mar 22 19:59:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> "It's always better to use cash for trading. Bartering's a fool's errand." Mar 22 19:59:53 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Bank Miner]** Alright, give me a minute...

Mar 22 20:08:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Metal - Electrum bar, 1000g ingot - Value 1340 P$ - Weight: 2 - [Quantity: 4] Mar 22 20:09:16 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Before you are two pairs of one-kilogram bars of solid green precious metal: electrum._ Mar 22 20:09:31 <HashiBot> <Reina> Plob, plob, plob, plob. Just like Ben went all those days ago in a nice hotel room. Mar 22 20:09:39 <HashiBot> <Reina> And 1/4th of Floyd. Mar 22 20:09:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> Er, wait. Mar 22 20:09:51 <HashiBot> <Reina> Four times as much. Mar 22 20:10:02 <HashiBot> <Reina> It's one/fourth for Maurice. Mar 22 20:10:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> I am bad at math. Mar 22 20:10:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Alright, laters. I'll be back when I burn through all my cash." Mar 22 20:10:43 <HashiBot> <Reina> TO THE JEWELRY STORE Mar 22 20:13:16 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _47 256.90 P$ have been transferred from shop credit (Heshbar Mines) to the bank account, minus a 1% transfer fee (472.55 P$). You have been credited with a net gain of 46 784.35 P$._ Mar 22 20:13:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> hissss, fees. Mar 22 20:13:33 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Since your bank account was empty, that's your new account balance._ Mar 22 20:13:37 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _46 784.35 P$._ Mar 22 20:13:49 <HashiBot> <Tempest> BP / Main: 116.64 /150 Mar 22 20:14:14 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Before we go, can I get rid of this chainsaw and that shotgun already, or do we need to go to the jewelry store first? Mar 22 20:14:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Jewelry first. And later on you /will/ be training how to use a shotty." Mar 22 20:15:00 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** As you wish. Mar 22 20:15:27 <HashiBot> <Reina> "You rolling over on my idle whims is helpful. I'm gonna miss it once we get you a better personality."

In future updates, this tier will have more to offer._ Mar 22 20:17:18 <HashiBot> <Reina> "It's a real shame you're not human. 50k is more than enough to get you augmented down to your pores." Mar 22 20:17:30 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** You're interested in augmentations, miss Reina? Mar 22 20:19:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Hell yeah I am. Seriously, the things they can do for you are insane." Mar 22 20:20:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Me, I have to worry about food all the time, and I only get short bursts of super speed or armor or - junk." Mar 22 20:20:30 <HashiBot> <Reina> "That's why I wanted a dark maiden to come with me. I could have outfitted her to the GILLS with a load like that." Mar 22 20:20:33 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Hn. I can see why you'd rather have a human friend. Mar 22 20:20:54 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Super speed, super accuracy, being able to wear armor on top of that, immunity to gases and bright lights..." Mar 22 20:20:56 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I've heard rumors about the augmentations guy. Mar 22 20:21:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** They say there's only _one_ man making augmentations like these, and that he's rather... eccentric. Mar 22 20:21:56 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yeah, Lance Chaosclaw, totally cuckoo, human supremacist, doesn't even do fun enhancements." Mar 22 20:22:05 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I'm not part of the higher corporate rungs of the ladder, but I know some of my superiors and even some dark maiden colleagues have tried to find him, but he refused all of the offers. Mar 22 20:22:20 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** You've met him before? Mar 22 20:22:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Mom bought a few augs from him before he fucked up and had to do emergency treatment before they exploded in her." Mar 22 20:22:32 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Oh. That sounds unfortunate. Mar 22 20:23:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I appreciate how you're not even questioning the discreprency between my mom being human and me not. You're a swell guy, Priam." Mar 22 20:23:10 <HashiBot> <Reina> Jewelry tiiime~? Mar 22 20:24:04 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I'm a demon from Hell and you aren't _slightly_ afraid of that. What's more, you're a youkai, who seems to have no sympathy for your fellows in their own war. _And_ you seem willing to help my company. Mar 22 20:24:11 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Who am I, really, to question your motives? Mar 22 20:24:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _It's all delivered very bluntly and dryly, but after a while of listening to him speak, you think you detected a bit of admiration from his end towards you..._ Mar 22 20:26:55 <HashiBot> <Reina> "You question because you care, dolt. See, this is why after ten millenia you're only a C-ranker." Reina's mocking, yes, but it's all light and jestful as they walk through the town. There's some genuine warmth there. If you squint. "You do a great job following your duty, but duty can only get you so far. You need to care. You need to doubt, to show that you care. Asking questions means you're paying attention. Asking Mar 22 20:26:55 <HashiBot> questions means you're interested." Mar 22 20:27:18 <HashiBot> <Reina> "And being interested, being /invested,/ is how your superiors become invested in you." Mar 22 20:27:50 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Practice with me, while I'm still alive. I'm sure we'll get you toppling, oh, I dunno, Sloth's throne by the time my grandkids are dust." Mar 22 20:28:11 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** ... We'll see. Mar 22 20:28:21 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _He did seem to express genuine interest in your words, though._ Mar 22 20:28:38 <HashiBot> <Reina> "There you go! More enthusiasm. We'll make a proper ruler of Hell outta you yet." Mar 22 20:29:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _All while you were chatting, you completed the trip from the mining facility to the jewelry store, a process which took only 4 rooms!_ Mar 22 20:29:46 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You entered the cozy, luxurious Heshbar Treasures, the local jewelry store._ Mar 22 20:30:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> So. What's the pretty jeweler girl look like? Mar 22 20:30:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'm fresh outta the mines with some ingots for you, gorgeous. And some gems that are probably worthless glass, but hey, that's what I'll pay you to confirm." Mar 22 20:32:14 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The serious, dedicated, but uptight **Lori Schwartz** is a snappy, tight-lipped woman who could have been a sassy secretary, if she wasn't the best jeweler in the Mazes. Her appearances gives off the impression of a no-nonsense, all-business, dominant, if slightly harsh woman._ Mar 22 20:34:25 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _As far as her physical appearance goes, she is a middle-aged female human, looking to be in her late 40s if not early 50s, with pale white skin. She is of short stature and slender constitution, has a very unremarkable chest, shoulder-length gray hair which she wears in a prim and impeccably proper bun, a pair of amber eyes behind a pair of gold-trimmed glasses, and no apparent scars, tattoos, or marks._ Mar 22 20:35:04 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** Well, young youkai woman, your tone is going to have to change if you want to deal with me. This is a first-class establishment, and I expect first-class behavior. Mar 22 20:36:04 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I expect first class customer service, ma'am, so let's both do our best." Reina /does/ stand up a bit straighter, at the very least. Mar 22 20:36:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I have a few gems I'd like you to examine. 50 Prallers per, correct?" Mar 22 20:37:08 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** That's correct. Let's see what you need identified. Mar 22 20:39:35 <HashiBot> <Reina> Purple gem, clear gem, clear gem, white gem, reeeed geeeem~ Mar 22 20:39:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> Bag on the ground to grab 'em. Mar 22 20:39:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** That'll be 250. Mar 22 20:40:24 <HashiBot> <Reina> 250 in racks. Mar 22 20:42:00 <HashiBot> <Reina> Man, it is so weird to be treating this all like chump change. Mar 22 20:46:06 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _1209 brass coins remaining in the money pouch, for a total of 1230 P$ / 12.51 /20._ Mar 22 20:46:24 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Lori takes your money, snorting lightly at the sight of your coins, as though something was wrong about them..._ Mar 22 20:46:32 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _...She then proceeds to take and analyze your gems._ Mar 22 20:50:00 <HashiBot> <Reina> "All glass?" Mar 22 21:10:19 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** Alright, I've identified _and_ appraised your jewels. Here they are. Mar 22 21:10:24 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Purple gem - Sugilite - Value 254 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 21:10:24 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Clear gem - Impure diamond - Value 136 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 21:10:24 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Clear gem - Zircon - Value 63 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 21:10:24 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Red gem - Spinel - Value 147 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 21:10:24 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] White gem - Moonstone - Value 413 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 21:11:30 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Wellllll. I suppose the Moonstone's pretty enough." Mar 22 21:11:53 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Hey, you sell jewels yourself, right? I'm looking for a good set of four for some piercing jewelry. Can I see your wares?" Mar 22 21:15:41 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** I do. Here's the current inventory of raw materials. Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> < Heshbar Treasures (Jewelry store) > Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> [Valuables for sale] Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (Black) Onyx - 204 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (Yellow) Golden topaz - 191 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Lead ingot, 1000 grams - 150 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Tungsten carbide ingot, 500 grams - 500 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Tungsten carbide ingot, 1000 grams - 1000 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Copper ingot, 500 grams - 150 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Golden cuff link - 125 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (Green) Malachite - 91 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (Clear) Clear quartz - 36 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> Gold ingot, 1000 grams - 2000 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (Pink) Pink glass - 7 P$ Mar 22 21:15:47 <Hebizuka> (White) Small pearl - 91 P$ Mar 22 21:19:43 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Mmmm, nothing fun. Alright, I have four 1000 gram ingots of Electrumite. I'd like to make two nipple piercings with the Moonstone and the Sugilite, a navel ring with the spinel, and a piercing downstairs with the Impure Diamond. It's too fitting not to." Mar 22 21:20:00 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Can you do that? Or is it not 'first class' enough, Miss Schwartz?" Mar 22 21:20:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Lori squints heavily at you._ Mar 22 21:20:31 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** ...So that will be four rings, am I correct? Mar 22 21:21:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yes, but they need special settings to be piercing friendly." Mar 22 21:22:18 <HashiBot> <Reina> "If you're unskilled with pierced jewelry, I understand. I know they're not common. I'll just have to find someone else to do them." Mar 22 21:27:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _She seems to take offense, though you're not sure if it's because you implied she's unskilled, or if it's about making a clit and nipple piercing rings._ Mar 22 21:27:25 <HashiBot> <Reina> And naval! Mar 22 21:32:02 <HashiBot> <Reina> But yes. After my jewelry is done, I'll go to the Hiring Bureau and pick up another job or two. Mar 22 21:39:50 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** Okay, with just one ingot, I can make eight rings. Each ring can be fitted with one gem, though that's not an obligation. Mar 22 21:40:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** So as to not waste metal, would you like me to make eight rings out of one ingot, and install all five gems on five of the eight? Mar 22 21:43:39 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Oh, is that how it works? I thought you'd need all of it for each ring." Mar 22 21:43:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yes please." Mar 22 21:44:46 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** Alright, let me take one of your ingots... Mar 22 21:51:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> One ingot and some time later... Mar 22 22:05:33 <Hebizuka> _Lori Schwartz has produced exceptional-quality jewels for you!_ Mar 22 22:05:52 <Hebizuka> _She took 1x Electrum ingot (1000 grams) and all five of your jewels. With these, she made the following:_ Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: None - Value 209.40 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: None - Value 209.40 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: None - Value 209.40 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: Sugilite - Value 509.75 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: Impure diamond - Value 379.95 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: Zircon - Value 299.65 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: Spinel - Value 392.05 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:05:56 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum ring - Gems mounted: Moonstone - Value 684.65 P$ - Weight: 0.1 Mar 22 22:10:23 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _What would you like to do with these?_ Mar 22 22:11:58 <HashiBot> <Reina> Put them on! Or, wait, shit, new body. Mar 22 22:12:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> I don't have any piercings yet. Mar 22 22:12:56 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also, since I have enough metal to spare... I have 3 ingots left. Can you make 3 tiaras and a choker?" Mar 22 22:16:53 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** I can make that, yes. That will cost you another two ingots. Do you have any extra gems you want to mount on these? Mar 22 22:17:39 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Nope. I'm sure I'll find some eventually." Mar 22 22:17:58 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also make that 5 tiaras. I want to use up the metal." Mar 22 22:22:35 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** If you insist. Mar 22 22:22:47 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _The master jeweler takes your remaining electrum ingots, and goes to work..._ Mar 22 23:23:46 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Your remaining 3 ingots have been converted into the following:_ Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum tiara - Gems mounted: None - Value 1172.50 P$ - Weight: 0.8 Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum tiara - Gems mounted: None - Value 1172.50 P$ - Weight: 0.8 Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum tiara - Gems mounted: None - Value 1172.50 P$ - Weight: 0.8 Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum tiara - Gems mounted: None - Value 1172.50 P$ - Weight: 0.8 Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum tiara - Gems mounted: None - Value 1172.50 P$ - Weight: 0.8 Mar 22 23:23:49 <Hebizuka> [Valuable] Custom - Electrum choker - Gems mounted: None - Value 971.50 P$ - Weight: 0.5 Mar 22 23:24:05 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Cha chiiiiiing." Mar 22 23:24:29 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Lori]** Here they are. Hope you can find sets of pretty gemstones to mount on them. I'd be happy to work on these for you. Mar 22 23:24:34 <HashiBot> <Reina> I'll have Priam hold onto all of the jewelry, for now. Mar 22 23:24:53 <HashiBot> <Reina> "One of these days. Thanks for the free services, ma'am." Mar 22 23:25:01 <HashiBot> <Reina> Let's get to the Job Agency. Mar 22 23:25:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Priam takes a moment to grab all of the rings and all of the tiaras... And the choker._ Mar 22 23:26:02 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _It takes a turn for him to haul all of that crap into the bag. Total combined weight of all jewelry: 5.3 units_ Mar 22 23:26:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> Your BP / Main: 108.14 /150 Mar 22 23:27:02 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I suppose I have more than enough money to buy all the shotguns I need." Mar 22 23:27:33 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Not to mention ammo... Mar 22 23:28:21 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Ammo's a non-issue. I have Flechette for big threats, buckshot for regular threats, and rubber buck for shrine maidens." Mar 22 23:28:42 <HashiBot> <Reina> "...Thaaaat reminds me. What do we do if I need to pop into Semitas? Can you just, like... wait outside?" Mar 22 23:29:17 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I'll be forced to. Mar 22 23:29:22 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I don't want to be shot on sight. Mar 22 23:30:36 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Yeah, that's not a problem." Mar 22 23:30:50 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I just want to kidnap a few maidens and show them the right way of things." Mar 22 23:31:05 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You departed from the jewelry store and made your way to the Heshbar hiring bureau, walking the 11 rooms to get there._ Mar 22 23:31:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Speaking of the right way, don't you want your shotgun back? I can take the pick-axe instead. Mar 22 23:31:56 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** I could use it somewhat effectively... The muscles aren't just for show. Mar 22 23:32:21 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** As a weapon, I mean. Mar 22 23:32:53 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I mean, if you waaaaant? I figured you'd be better just punching things. I was gonna toss the pick-axe in a bit..." Mar 22 23:33:03 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Sure, let's swap. And you can use the chainsaw too." Mar 22 23:33:14 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** ... Cool. Mar 22 23:33:28 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _He smiles, for perhaps the first time, showing some really nasty fangs in the process._ Mar 22 23:33:36 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You swear you saw that smile somewhere else..._ Mar 22 23:33:46 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Just don't break it! I need it for the sickass DRILL ARM I'll be making for us." Mar 22 23:33:54 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Priam]** Don't worry, ma'am. Mar 22 23:34:25 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Priam trades your pick-axe for his (really yours) Auto-5 RA. You're reunited with your silenced shotgun, and he is equipped with a second melee weapon._ Mar 22 23:34:59 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also, don't die. That's pretty important when going into melee." Mar 22 23:35:01 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _You spent one turn trading weapons._ Mar 22 23:35:08 <HashiBot> <Reina> "There's a dojo in Rog, we'll get us both up to speed." Mar 22 23:36:25 <HashiBot> <Reina> So, the Job Agency! Mar 22 23:37:34 <HashiBot> <Reina> Reina steps towards to the counter as soon as she pushes past the doors. "Hey, boss, Reina Miyako Knight, just finished off all the weird one-off jobs besides the thing in Sirvarris. Anything new pop up?" Mar 22 23:40:18 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Hey, congratulations on making it to Tier 3. You're becoming a really reliable contractor, you know? Mar 22 23:41:13 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Besides the job in Sirvarris, I do have one more contract that popped up just now... This... This is a rather unique request. Hmm. Mar 22 23:41:34 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Apparently... it's from an engineer... On behalf of the whole Engineering Corps. Wow, look at you, moving up in the world. Mar 22 23:42:09 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Well, if they can check out my plumbing in return, I suppose I can help them. Where do I and my big hunking lover go to get started?" Mar 22 23:47:07 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Well, the dude sent a message. Let me print it out for you, you'll want to read this. Mar 22 23:47:25 <Hebizuka> "“Hello. Firstly, let me introduce myself: I am Isaac B. Miller, veteran engineer since 35 years. I have worked on all sorts of projects in my entire life, and I’ve had to deal with many problems of many kinds. I’ve been part, for years each, of practically every Engineering Team that exists, including the Proving Grounds." Mar 22 23:47:34 <Hebizuka> "Currently, I am part of the Building ET, and because of that, I am often nicknamed “Old Bee”. If that still doesn’t clear any doubts regarding my importance and the importance of what I’m about to ask you, you must know that I have worked with Lady Hebizuka before – yes, the Administrator, in person – and that I am asking you for YOUR help, very specifically, because you have an unique status as the Contestant." Mar 22 23:48:02 <Hebizuka> "I want no-one else on this job. You will be given more details if you accept this job – but as an incentive, I am ready to pay you **2000 P$** - **500 immediately** if you accept this job, for travel expenses, the rest if you complete this job, plus extras, which I’m sure you will find very useful." Mar 22 23:48:24 <HashiBot> <Reina> "It is SO WEIRD to think 2k is chump change..." Mar 22 23:48:56 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Well, it's still a very fair amount of money... And I'm authorized to send 500 of that right now if you say yes. But of course, it's up to you, champ. Mar 22 23:49:29 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Sign me up." Mar 22 23:49:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Also you, specifically, are very nonplussed to talking with the Contestant in the flesh." Mar 22 23:50:22 <HashiBot> <Reina> "So, where do I go?" Mar 22 23:52:31 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** Oh, you know, I'm not here to question what employers say. I'm just doing my job. Mar 22 23:52:40 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** First, lemme authorize this transfer... Mar 22 23:53:11 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Your account has been credited with an extra 500 P$. Balance is now at 47 284.35 P$._ Mar 22 23:54:20 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** The first part of the reward money has been wired to you, as travel expenses, like he says. Mr. Miller asked to let you know that you must go either to Neo Khazrun or to Sirvarris – you must pick one – and that once you’re there, you must go to the generator room and notify any engineers present in the control room, with this specific sentence: “I came here to solve a practical problem”. Mr. Miller said Mar 22 23:54:20 <HashiBot> you will receive further instructions at this point. Mar 22 23:57:38 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Oh, hey, Sirvarris." Mar 22 23:57:47 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I'll be right on over, then. It's not a problem." Mar 22 23:59:08 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Is that all the paperwork? Are we ready to go?" Mar 22 23:59:56 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Oh wait no." Mar 23 00:00:02 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Neo Khazrun is right next to us." Mar 23 00:00:11 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Okay, we can go to Neo, and THEN Sirvarris." Mar 23 00:01:29 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** May I share a little bit of personal opinion between you and I?... Mar 23 00:02:08 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Suuuuuuuuuure?" Mar 23 00:02:22 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** If this job wasn't coming from Mr Miller, I would've refused. But considering that he is a very important man, and that he asked for you specifically... I'd suggest to do as he says. Who knows, maybe you're going to fix a huge problem and save the whole Mazes! Mar 23 00:03:44 <HashiBot> <Reina> "I don't really care. The Mazes can go hang." Mar 23 00:03:57 <HashiBot> <Tempest> **[Hirer]** ... well, damn, okay, I guess... Mar 23 00:03:59 <HashiBot> <Reina> "Ta ta, handsome." Mar 23 00:04:04 <HashiBot> <Reina> Let's go to Neo Khazrun~ Mar 23 00:07:39 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Sidequest activated!_ Mar 23 00:07:45 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _S3-1: A Light Shining in Darkness_ Mar 23 00:08:04 <HashiBot> <Tempest> _Objective 1: Go to the generator control room in either Neo Khazrun OR Sirvarris, and then say the special sentence._ Mar 23 00:09:23 <Hebizuka> Reina is going to the big city, the heart of the Mazes, Neo Khazrun! Mar 23 00:09:29 <Hebizuka> What is going to happen in the generator? Mar 23 00:09:33 <Hebizuka> Who is this Mr. Miller? Mar 23 00:09:42 <Hebizuka> All of those questions and more will be answered... on the next episode! Mar 23 00:09:46 <Hebizuka> [Session end!]
