THE LIST: https://pastebin.com/eEJ3iSXf

Days 12-14

You finish moving what possessions you have into the mansion, or rather hiring people to do that for you now that you're rich. You spent most of yesterday doing cardio exercises and practicing your ocarina, and the next two days go much the same, sans time playing with your two kittens, who you've named Jean and Urist.

Over these three days, you try a variety of tributes at the warehouse you've bought for experimentation of your new power and storage for anything brought back with it. You tap the power of Crysis, Final Fantasy IV, Super Mario Bros, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension, Mech Assault, Dungeon Keeper, and Digger HD. You are very lucky you bought such a big warehouse, because the Mad Cat that arrives for you courtesy of Wolf's Dragoons would've busted through the ceiling of a cheap storage unit. Also of note is the gray skull perched carefully on one of the chests you summoned. It returns your gaze, then startles you by opening its mouth and in a dry, hissing voice saying. "Good day."

You gain and store the following at your warehouse:

>Crysis Molecular Arrestor
>Chest with assorted gold, 5 ethers, 5 X-potions, 4 phoenix downs, an Elven Bow, and a note from Cecil and Rosa asking you to take care of yourself, and they hope this helps.
>A big red and white mushroom
>A briefcase of cash, and a heavily modified .45 caliber pistol. A note: “Good luck, Commander.”
>A heavily modified laser rifle: The Metal Blaster and 48 shots of MFC ammo.
>A pile of gold, gems, and assorted treasure.
>A pile of gold and emeralds.
>A Mad Cat battlemech
>Skull Mentor

By the end of the fourteenth day you can manage a few easy tunes on your ocarina. You're getting there, slowly but surely. Only three days in means your cardio still has a long way to go before you can run like a normal person instead of someone that spent all their life sitting in front of a screen.

>Days 12-14 end.<

>Day 15 begin.<

>>1982470
>Day 15 begin<

You feel a little grumpy when you get out of bed this morning. Maybe it's the fact you've been frantically training cardio for the last few days and your body burns all over from the exertion, but whatever the reason, you just feel... off.

You make the trip to your warehouse for the day's tributing and pause as you park your car outside. Summoning the power within you, you tap SimCity 3000, curious to see what will happen...

A twelve foot tall bronze statue, depicting yourself regally standing on a rocky outcropping dressed in a smart looking suit with a briefcase in your hand materializes in front of the warehouse. At its base is an inscription: “The best cities are laid with vision and managed with wisdom. Dedicated to Alex Davidson, who turned our patch of hills and trees into a metropolis.”

Not bad.

Tribute Uses left: 2/3

Before you can walk into your warehouse and try out the day's tributes, you get a ring on your burner phone. Answering it, you find it's your 'old pal' the jeweler. He's prepared to purchase thirty of your big diamonds for the price of thirty million dollars, meeting him at the usual place at noon. Do you accept his offer?

>>1982472
Ah, I almost forgot.

Over the last few days you manage to read through the treatise on mental fortitude sent to you by Alexandra Roivas. You believe you'll be better able to withstand mental stress, and if something has the ability to do so, mental attacks.

>>1982472
30 mill? Hell yea we accept
Add and tribute diablo 3, monk this time

>>1982472
Yep and bring the gun and shields also add god of war 2

>>1982472
>>1982486


No the carjacker seen us clearly, I doubt he won't be a future problem.
I would vote against another meet with the jeweler this soon. His greed is eventually going to get the best of him.

Also a note: every time we get a space gun we only have a limited amount of ammo before it becomes a giant paper weight.

Game: Golden Eye

>>1982472

Ahh, back to this old thing. Well let's accept, and tribute Fable 3

>>1982472
hell yeah, we have a shield and a bunch of weapons to conceal and use in case we need it.
Don't take the original assault rifle we took though, get something else.

I thought getting a gun permit was silly but it might come in handy if we get stopped by a cop or something.

>>1982492
>>1982511
Games Added: Diablo 3, God of War 2
Game Tributed: Diablo 3
Tribute Left: 1/3

The monk that triumphed over the Lord of Terror sends back something he hopes will aid you in your own struggles... A disc of copper and silver with an emerald that you recognize as an Ancestor's Grace amulet.

You get your gun and shield just in case and head out to the alley to make the exchange. The jeweler is there with his associate. The usual pleasantries are exchanged, the goods and cash change hands...

"So, our partnership has been working out pretty well so far, hasn't it?" the jeweler asks, inspecting the diamonds.

"I guess so..." you say, looking over the briefcase of money you've received. The jeweler smiles.

"I can't help but think we could be doing more, though. I don't want to ruin a good thing, but it behooves us both to consider the gains of expanding, doesn't it? I have access to a network of contacts and resources that you do not. I'm happy to just act as a middleman of course... but this steady stream of goods you're bringing me is impressive. I have friends that might like to meet you, see if there's anything more we can do together. What do you say?"

>>1982531
Agree to meet on a later day maybe like a week from now

>>1982531

Agree

>>1982531

I'll agree as well but I don't like the cut of this jewelers gib. If some shit does go down with some of our stranger weaponry the cops are going to flip out.

>>1982525
A beautiful sword is added to your armory.
>Gained Casanova.
Tributes: 0/3.

>>1982535
>>1982536
>>1982545
"Sure, but I'm pretty busy for a while. We'll set a time in a week or so, all right?"

"Ah, but they're actually in town now. I've told them all about you, and they hate to be disappointed. I was hoping we could go have lunch after our transaction here. Do you like Italian?" the jeweler says, smiling broadly.

>>1982552
We decide the time and the place we got you some good shit doesn't mean you get to tell us where to be and when

>>1982552

...and so it begins.

"I've kinda got a busy day ahead of me, so maybe just a quick bite. I'll follow you."

I'd suggest attaching our MA to said assault rifle and jam in bag of holding once out of view

If this manages to not turn into a firefight I'd love to spend some time getting to know our superphone better

>>1982562
>>1982572
I need a tiebreaker vote either way.

>>1982552
Gee dude I dunno it's kinda short notice and it's not like my supply of this stuff is infinite

But ok

>>1982531
continue our current arrangement and don't meet his friends.
tell him that while our number of goods is large, our source isn't renewable and we only have a finite amount we can bring.

>>1982597
>>1982601
>>1982572
>>1982562
2v2, so I'll break the tie.

"I'm flattered, but my supply is finite. There's only so much I can bring. Besides, we've got a good arrangement here, right? I like that no one tells me where or when to go, and you like that I bring you high quality goods."

"I see," the jeweler says, sighing and cleaning his glasses. "I'll pass that on, then. They'll be unhappy, but I guess it can't be helped. I'll be in touch."

You pack the money away in your car and drive back to your warehouse.

What now?

>>1982616
Call up Alex and ask if he saw the news

>>1982643
"Yeah, I saw it. I'm staying low until things die down. I can't believe this, man. They were literally enslaving and murdering people in that goddamn house and no one did anything about it! Someone goes in and does something? NOW the cops want to get involved!" he sighs. "I'd lay low if I was you too. Maybe we can wait this out."

>>1982651
"Alright man, will do. For what it's worth, I thought you did the right thing."

If we have nothing else to do, we haven't tried tributing an mmo, have we? Try tributing overwatch.

>>1982616

Hmm...I don't think it was mentioned but let's go get the BMW. Leave our shit car at the warehouse and take a cab after we know where going.

Bring shield! I'm not sure about weaponry but put it in the bag

>>1982697
"...I hope so, man. I really, really hope so."

You're out of tributes for the day, but...
>Game added: Overwatch.

>>1982701
You recover your BMW without incident.

Do you have anything you want to do for the rest of the day?

>>1982716

Miss around with superphone. Try hacking something. Like the Italian Restaurants webpage or better yet their Facebook!

>>1982716
I'll back superphone experimentation. Get good with it, figure out the capabilities

>>1982716
Learn How to shoot

>>1982745
>>1982731
>>1982728
With the entire day open you manage to set up a makeshift firing range in your warehouse and squeeze off a few rounds. Firing a gun in real life is a lot different than in a video game, but you kinda figured that would be the case. At the end of a two hour session, your aim has improved a fair margin as you learn the basics.

Messing around with the superphone comes a little easier for you. You go through its programs and get a handle on what they all do. This would be most useful if your city had the cToS, but there's still things you can do without.

What do you want to attempt do with your hack on the restaurant's webpage?

>>1982755
See if it has any dark web connections

>>1982755
A small typo, not noticeable unless you're looking for it, just to see if we can.

>>1982755

Change their heading banner to "Eat at Joes". Try to dig deeper and see if you can get into security cams.

I'll tribute nothing but add Unreal Tournament

Rolled 37 (1d100)

>>1982774
>>1982778
>>1982757
Game Added: Unreal Tournament

>>1982814
You manage to introduce a small typo and change their heading banner to "Eat at Joe's", but nothing more. They do have a security system, but you weren't able to break into it, nor could you find any connections.

...you DID note their security was really tight for a restaurant.

>>1982821
Look into buying a security system for our mansion with whatever time we have left today.

>>1982821

That blows. Let's get that statue to the mansion. I'm not sure we are with magic but we need to get better. Maybe ask the skull what it thinks?

>>1982821
>Day 15 Ends

Your dreams this night are of harsh, angry music that begins deafening and slowly begins to fade to nothing. Darkness and silence surround you until you hear a voice you remember vaguely from one of your dreams say, "Well. That's one."

Then you wake up to the sounds of your doorbell ringing.

>Day 16 Begins
>Tribute refreshes.

>>1982878
Our new swanky mansion doorbell? I'd hoped it would keep the peasants away.

>Answer it

>>1982878

Answer it, also we should buy some shit for the mansion

>>1982870
>>1982865
You can buy a really nice security system for five thousand dollars if you don't want to spare any expensive. Security cameras, alarms, and a link to the providing company for two years.

>>1982870
"That's my purpose, master," the skull whispers. "I am the Skull Mentor. I teach apprentices the secrets of magic. Let me see..." you feel the empty eyes of the skull bore into you. "...you have no innate magic right now, no connection to the arcane. But... but you do have something else. A strange power I've not seen. I could teach you traditional magic if you found a way to establish a connection to the arcane. With a little study, I could also see what I could do with the energy you're imbued with."

>>1982902
>>1982888
You put on your robe and walk down to the door, opening it to see two tall men in suits and trenchcoats. "Good evening Mr. Davidson. I'm Officer Gault, this is Officer Bowlens. May we come in?"

>>1982878
Get Heroes of Might and Magic 3, play through Restoration of Erathia and get tributes

>>1982911

Ah fuck

"Something wrong?"

>>1982911
"Um no"

>>1982903
Yea get the full security. 5K is chump change to what we have now.

>>1982911


"I'd prefer it if you wouldn't. I had a wild ass home warming party and don't wanna disturb any of my still sleeping guests. Um. What can I help you with?"

>>1982937
>>1982931
>>1982924
"We just want to ask you a few questions. House-warming party, huh? So you just got this house?" the officer turns his head for a moment. "...and that's a BMW, in the driveway. Very nice car, looks pretty new itself. Didn't you use to live in the apartment building down near the El Burrito Loco?"

>>1982959
>You did, by the way.

>>1982959

"Why do you ask? Something happen there?"

>>1982959
>>1982972

"Yes as a matter of fact I did. I came into an inheiratance. I kinda lost it there for a minute and built that car..."

Point at BMW. Close front door before beady cop eyes can spot shit

"...in my living room to teach my dick landlord a lesson. But I paid for all the fees and fines. Is this what this about? Thats going be a classic joke and he deserved it."

>>1983015
>>1982937

You guys fail at lying.

Don't volunteer any information not asked for, and the fewer details the better.

>>1982959
Seconding >>1982984

>>1983042

Yeah but the car could very well be a well known about incident. Be smart

>>1983056

I'm talking about mentioning an inheritance in that post primarily, and mentioning a house party we can't back up on close inspection in the other post.

Car is car is known incident sure, but when police look into this inheritance or monitor our house to see these sleeping guests leave, its going to raise more questions that are going to be difficult to answer.

>>1982972
>Quest pause<
Being called in for something. Be back in two hours. Sorry, unavoidable.

>>1982959

Just ask this >>1982984. Don't volunteer any other info.

>>1983156

Supporting.

>>1983072

i think your missing a crucial detail: we already deposited 2 mill into a true bank account and that warehouse and storage are in our name.

Besides I DOUBT they've opened a full investigation on us and couldn't get finances anyways. That's hardcore shit and we ain't that hot....yet

>>1983187

Money can be known, but the moment you bring up an inheritance, that is something that people can go and check.

If you must bring up our finances (which you don't need to), mention we sold things. Vague, and close to the truth.

If later they try to harass us over taxes, then at that time (and not any sooner) we report our earnings and pay them.

>>1983358
We don't want to not pay taxes and then get confronted.

>>1983369

Its possible that we are being confronted NOW.
Mind you, we aren't liable immediately.

Shit, maybe we should have met up with Jeweler's "friends". They could help us launder our money and teach us how to stay under the radar.

Sigh

Look if that money came from a country that doesn't share finances or extradition they can't do shit about taxes. There's lots of them in real life

>>1983187
>>1983358
>>1983369
>>1983518
>>1983540
>>1983582
Guys chill out

We just got the money from a bunch of bitcoins we bought back in 08 and forgot about.

We remembered recently, had an "Oh Shit" moment, and got stupid wealthy.

We haven't declared it yet because it's not tax season.

>>1983717
Nice thinking senpai

>>1983582
If we use that excuse we better lawyer up.

>>1983717

My concern isn't in how we explain our sudden wealth, we can cross that bridge when we come to it. We just need to stop dumping details we can't back up whenever the police ask the most casual questions.

>>1983785
Coming up with an explanation now, spilling it, and sticking to it, is probably the best course of action.

I came up with cryptocurrency because it's harder to track.

>Deepest apologies for being even later. The situation... escalated.
>>1982984
"Just an odd occurrence involving a car, but no one's pressing any charges and there doesn't seem to have been any crime committed," Officer Gault says. "You've been spending an awful lot of money lately."

Officer Bowlens begins writing in a little notepad. "Do you mind if we ask where you got this sudden windfall?"

>>1984181
"I don't see why you need to know but I understand it will cast suspicion on me if I don't answer"

followed by >>1983717

>>1984212
Officer Bowlens nods and records this in his notepad.

"Bitcoins... you got pretty lucky then. Or you were pretty smart. Do you have a significant other?" Officer Gault asks.

>>1984235
Laugh to lighten the mood "I think I'm this town's most eligible bachelor"

>>1984242
Officer Gault nods. "So... you don't really need any jewelry or anything of that sort?"

>>1984257
"I bought a good many gems and put them in safe keeping. They're a pretty great store of value in this economy"

Shit he's onto us

>>1984270
"Going to bitcoins to jewels, I see," Officer Bowlens nods, continuing to write.

"One more thing, Mr. Davidson," Officer Gault says, holding up a photograph. It's a picture of the big man that always accompanies the jeweler when he makes his purchases. "Do you recognize this man?"

>>1984306
How much of our gear do we have on our person right now?

How upstanding do these cops look?

>>1984306

"Never seen him before in my life"

>>1984306
no sir, never seen him before.
not from work or at my old place.

>>1984257
"Wait...what? I can get my own jewelry from Zales. And no I'm single. Did some hotty in my old building put out an APB or something?"

Laugh at the damn joke.

I don't think he's onto us yet....

>>1984311
None.
The cops seem normal enough.

>>1984326
>>1984312
"Never? Well if you do see him, I'd steer clear. He's... what's the term... a 'bad hombre' you might say."

>>1984327
"Oh, we just asked that to see if you were buying a ring or something," Officer Bowlens says, continuing to write away. "Do you hike or camp often?"

>>1984390

> "No sir, all things considered, I'm fairly sedentary. In my youth I used to camp with my father, in the BSA, but since then, no, not really.

>>1984399
This is fine

Goddamn it, they're on to us. i don't want to get in a shoot out or anything, we just bought a bunch of shit.

As soon as the cops leave add skies of arcadia.
With luck vyse will send us a fuck awesome air ship since hes a pirate king.
Fuck, we could set the cold fusion reactor as a backup power source to.

shit, is there a game where you just need blue prints to build difficult shit?

>>1984399
Officer Bowlens nods. "Ever been to the national park just north of here? It's about twenty minutes or so."

>>1984421
Have we? I don't remember us ever heading there actually.

"Maybe in my youth but I honestly don't remember, not recently if ever."

>>1984426
It's where you summoned the tank.

>>1984434
Ah,

same response

"You mean where they found that tank?"

>>1984446
Changing to this

>>1984446
>>1984426
"You mean where they found that tank? Maybe in my youth, but I honestly don't remember. Not recently, if ever."

Officer Bowlens laughs a little. "Yes, where they found that tank. Whoever solves that little caper is going to bump up a paygrade or two. It's looking like it's destined to star on an episode of 'Unsolved Mysteries' or something."

Officer Gault nods. "Thank you for your time and cooperation, Mr. Davidson. We have no further questions. We'll let you get back to your day."

>>1984419
Game Added: Skies of Arcadia

>>1984474
Smile and wave them off, step back inside, close door.

Almost pass out and break into cold sweat.

Recover and add Pokemon Platinum.

>>1984474

I'm voting for whatever time it might take for whenever during the day and ask the skull what it means by innate ability and how to gain it.

Game: Ace Combat 6

I'll again tribute nothing

>>1984496
You do all of these.

Game Added: Pokemon Platinum.

>Game Paused<

I must be off gentanons. I'll pick up in nineteen hours and sorry again for the interruption. When I get back you have 3/3 tributes and a full day. One anon suggested playing through Restoration of Erathia, and while you can't knock out that game in a day, you can put a huge dent in it. There's also stuff you can do with your inventory, looking into any of the incidents happening around the world, checking up with the other Alex, and the ever popular train shooting/ocarina/cardio.

>>1984474
Go talk to the skull and ask it for a way for us to gain access to magic. Also bring it with us so it can observe and study how we use our Tribute powers.

>>1984511
Seconding showing off for undead sensei.

>>1984505
Game Added: Ace Combat 6.

The skull floats over to you.
"You lack the spark of awakened magic within you to provide a base for learning magic. Magic itself seems to be... mostly absent from this world," the skull thinks for a moment. "If you can't figure out a way to give yourself even a wisp of magical power for me to work with, I might be able to find something here to work with. Assuming you give me permission to examine your amassed treasures."

>Subquest: Given enough time the Mentor Skull can find a way to give you the magic spark. If you figure it out before he does, you'll gain a BONUS. There are at least two ways I can think of right now.

OK, now I'm leaving. Thanks for playing everyone!

>>1984510
>>1984505

I said I'd stop, but I won't.

Game: Ninja Gaiden Series

>>1984529

No thank you awesome Smiley Anon

we could mix all the potions from stone soup and drink it

>>1984510
>>1984529
Thank nice running

>>1984581
That's a great way to die

I'm honestly really curious what will happen when we call on a game with multiple protags or vs combat (like Overwatch).

There are a few things I can think we oughta do.
>Ask Smiles about the multiverse
How in the hell are the game chars actually giving us this stuff? Are they real and in an alternate reality? Can we go to said alternate realities if we learn enough magicks? So many questions...
What happens if we make our own game and give the char a bazillion dollars then ask them for tribute? Is that just cheating and he won't allow it? What if we ask someone else to make the game for us? (Either directly or indirectly)

>Spill everything to Alex
The guy became a fucking White Knight, literally. He seems like the only person we can trust with this if anyone (maybe our work friend) and it would be worth it to get ahead of anyone else that may have these gifts. If we join forces we could rule/save the world!

Start the convo with "So has being a white knight got you any poon?"

>Add game: TIS-100
Because holy shit am I curious what that will give us

He probably has a way to give us some kind of magic seeing as he likely has some himself.

>>1984581
>>1984529

We could combine Potions of Beneficial Mutation, Brilliance, Experience and Magic with the Horadric cube along with a Perfect Emerald (Which we will craft with the Horadric Cube beforehand). That might make something that could get us some magic. Toss a few Ethers in there while we are at it.

Alternatively, in fictorum, magic effects can be removed from items to be used by the player. It might be possible to finagle something magic spark out of that, especially considering it functions as a source of mana.

After getting spooked by the cops, I am thinking we should start finding a good lawyer.

We need to also fortify our warehouse in case of a confrontation. Buy a power generator and a few month's worth of food and water. We also build some anti-vehicle barriers at around our warehouse.

We should go to the American government. Tell them we have magic, show them us summoning something, tell them we can only use the power if we are happy and then tell them we can give them a thousand years of tech advancement in 10 if they go along with it. Everyone in here is too busy thinking small term, if we use our powers properly, we can get blueprints for a light speed drive eventually since smiley said a later tier will let us request shit. Rather than fucking around at home, we can advance humanity and become the guy who single handedly made interstellar travel and magic possible. Smiling grin said he is doing all this for shits and giggles to see what happens, so let's show him some real shit.

>>1986015
Adding on to this, once we start, we can have people make games for us where the common currency is whatever the fuck item we want to acquire and the main character I stupid rich and has "returns all debts 10fold" as a personality trait

>>1986015
why would we give a fuck about humanity and doing shit for mankind?
we've been building ourselves up and keeping an eye on possible threats like the dnd guy.
we seem to care more about our self than anyone else.

we're playing a gamer that had a shit job not some historian that wants to be the next alexander the great or nelson mandela or some shit.

>>1986043
Why the hell not? Why live on shitty earth where we are literally about to get fucked in the ass by law enforcement when we can go to the government, be given whatever we want, and become an imortal space god beloved by all of humanity? This is not an unselfish plan. Any gamer worth his salt knows how to optimize, and this is how we can get the most out of our powers.

>>1986048
And we better do it fast as fuck before anyone else does it or we get ourselves killed by whoever else is running around thanks to smiley

>>1986015
>How burgers think
>Just tell the government all about my super powers
>Not just hiring SpaceX and establishing your own state and telling the government to fuck themselves

>>1984695

As much as I want to drink the potion of beneficial mutation, I'm going to have to support the Hodriac Cube plan. However, I vehemently oppose the destruction of our Fictorum Staff to get magic quicker, although it may be more difficult to obtain magic without destroying it, the power boost from the staff should more than make up for the wait.

>>1984824

I wholeheartedly support this in every conceivable way, although I'd rather not put up anti-vehicle barricades or extensive outside fortifications, because that would increase our heat tremendously.

>>1986015
>>1986035

No, we can't risk revealing ourselves to the government, at best we'll be imprisoned in an isolated bunker somewhere and enslaved for our powers, and at worst, we'll be dissected and studied by some alphabet soup agency.

>>1986062
As much as you think they are, the US govt is not full of absolute retards. They are rational, even if shady. Why go to the govt? They are the most powerful entity around. They want to hold on to that power. Right now, the world is in chaos. If they see a winning card why would they throw it away? All we have to do is tell them we will teleport away if they try shit on us. They have no idea what we are capable of, and are likely to assume it is in line with what happened in NK. If we go to them, we instantly give them a massive advantage.

>>1986048
i mean, your plan isn't terrible.
its just the going to the government part when we could be aiming to own our own nation or something that turns me off to it.
Also the motivation that we'd be doing it for humanity when our actions have clearly been heading to make ourselves better and richer.

>>1986085
If we do it competently ourselves, I would say sure, but the way anons are playing is like a fucking 12 year old. At the rate we are going, we have already gotten the attention of the govt, and they will fuck is in the ass if we try to fight them the way we are playing. Sure we have cool toys, but we aren't invincible. We will die to either the Govt or other power users when they realized we are an uncontrolled threat. Right now, the govt already knows something is up with us, so we should cash in now before they put a target on our ass. They can hide us from other power users and allow us to use our powers with maximum efficiency. What the fuck else are we going to do with shit like a Russian blue print for cold fusion reactors? The US govt has the resources and connections to help us seriously abuse this power while we simply do not.

OK fellas this going to the government shit is completely out of the question.

Why? For one some ultra weird shit is going on world wide. Two chances are we're going to get into something real soon. Between the jewelers associate and the Knight something's about to go down.

Third, and I said this yesterday; that carjacker is still running around, and I for one don't trust this Knight to lay low. We might fool the local cops but we probably shouldn't screw around with the gubbment.

Forth: what's the purpose in fortifying a warehouse we'll soon be moved out of? I don't know wtf to do with that MadCat.

I have a feeling we're going to have a busy day.

>>1986108
well we are still getting used to our powers and shit.
As soon as we get to make requests from the games we tribute we can start stretching our wings. We can get an airship from skies of arcadia or the archangel from a gundam game or a space ship from starcraft and stop worrying about getting caught.

>I'll note you guys are pretty close to tier 3, which lets you do something completely different. There is a tier that lets you request items, though.

We aren't moving out of the warehouse anytime soon soon. We haven't even gotten to 3 tier yet. So may as well fortify our warehouse at the meantime before shit hits the fan.

>>1986181
Im still waiting for the request tier so we can get the sketch book from scriblenauts

Games Added: Ninja Gaiden Series, NES and Xbox versions. TIS-100

You pour yourself a bowl of cereal and shakily turn on the TV as you eat breakfast, trying to get the encounter with the police out of your head.

The news sort of helps.

In addition to continual speculation about the happenings in North Korea and Canada, apparently the famous death metal singer Graven Irons was found torn to pieces in his Hollywood mansion. His body was completely dismembered into thirteen pieces, each hanging from an iron hook and chain affixed to the ceiling by unknown means. Police are investigating now.

In other news the Field Museum's rare book room was broken into last night and several pieces were apparently stolen. Museum staff are still accounting for all the books.

>Tributes 3/3

There's been a lot of discussion, but are we settled on what Alex will do today?

>>1986516
the magic stuff seemed to get a lot of support

Rolled 18 (1d100)

>>1986575
So it has.

You place the Potions of Beneficial Mutation, Brilliance, Experience, and Magic along with a Perfect Emerald, which takes a good deal of your Digger gems to craft, into the Horadric Cube. You then add two of your Ethers, and under the direction of the Mentor Skull, you activate the cube...

>>1986601
When the Cube is done with its work, a bubbling green elixir is produced.

Do you drink it?

>>1986609

Take just a sip, but before then check it for anything toxic

>>1986623
It's not toxic.

You take a sip and feel the beginning of some magical effect in your gut. You'll need to drink the whole thing for it to do anything, you think.

>>1986609

Scouter that shit.

>>1986638

This still applies

>>1986631
Backing scouter.

Also add and tribute Monmusu Quest. Time to let Luka know he had help protecting his virginity from hordes of monster girls.

>>1986631
scouter and have our skull mentor check it, see what he thinks

>>1986631

CHUG IT DOWN

>>1986651
>>1986650
>>1986642
>>1986638
You Scouter the potion. It IS imbued with magical energy and a mutagen the Scouter can identify as an agent designed to bond the energy to a host... but it's very, very unstable.

The Skull Mentor looks over the potion. "It will work, I think... but it'll have side effects. The magic is very unstable... wild, even."

>>1986664
FUCK IT
SIDE EFFECTS ARE LIFE
CHUG

>>1986664
NO PAIN NO GAIN
Chug it down

>>1986664

CHUG IT, also. Smiling Man you should let us anons roll you know?

>>1986664
ask if theres anything we can do to stabalise it or minimize the effects.
like using the staff or if he can add and use his own magic.
also add and tribute worlds of magic and warlock 2: the exiled

also, if we're bringing up dice. im fine with op doing it,.... if he rolled a d20

>>1986714
>>1986678
>>1986684
>>1986723
You chug the potion and feel power blossoming within you, a strange, vibrant energy that suffuses your whole being. Your vision goes hazy and for a moment you think you see and hear a thousand frogs croaking at you from the nooks and crannies of the warehouse, and a grin that grows wider and wider until it devours the whole room. The croaking of the frogs grows louder and louder, threatening to deafen you as the smile opens and laughs maniacally.

Then your senses return to normal.
>Alex may now learn magic and cast as a Wild Mage..
>Really all you needed to do was raise Alex's magic stat from 0 (all normal humans) to 1 to enable him to start growing as a mage. The Chrono Trigger Magic Tab would've done it.
>As for dice, I'm fine with you guys rolling, I'm just used to rolling to streamline things. I'll notify you when you need to roll.

>>1986752

You weren't supposed to be able to access the Ocarina for quite some time yet.
Oh well, that's how Chaos goes, I guess.

Thunder and lightning crash outside as rain begins to pour down. It starts strong, but gradually diminishes to a pleasant squall after few minutes.

You can't help but be impressed with yourself. You've never managed to play the Song of Storms correctly before.

>>1986853
see what we can do with magic now.

shit, glad we didn't start with the sun song.
Huh, we could get a horse with eponas song or it would just summon our silly cats.

>>1986853

Nifty. I'm going to go with mess around with superphone on the Italian restaurants security system again.

Call and tell other Alex about cops
Nurture kittens!

>>1986853
Learn the flame tongue spell from the book of dragons

>>1986877
Nothing, really. You need to be taught how to use magic before you can learn spells. Good thing you have a talking skull.

>>1986903
ill vote for this instead

>>1986853
yo are we tributing monmusu quest or what? I want that angel halo!

>>1986903
yeet

When we're done tribute TIS-100 because I'm still curious what we'll get.

My money is on a sweet upgrade for our phone

>>1986914

Well I'm glad that we got that shit down. Let's tribute Dragon Age

>>1986903
>>1986916
>>1987025
You can't make heads or tails of the book knowing as little as you do about magic.

"You have potential now, but you'll need to learn the basics before you can cast anything, master," your skull states. "Did you want me to begin lessons? Thanks to that potion's effects, we can skip a good deal of the exercises designed to build up that inner reserve of magic. By my estimation, I can have you ready to learn spells in two weeks, assuming a four hour study session a day. Unless you find a way to speed that up of course."

>>1986925
>OP searches for an alternative for twenty minutes and cannot find one.
>Take your damn cursed sword, cursedy.

Lukas sends you the Angel Halo through the connection you have. You have a strange sense he's glad to be rid of it, and you see why. You feel... dirty, just holding it. There's something very wrong with this sword.
>Gained Angel Halo

You access the TIS and are rewarded by a thumb drive.
>Gained mysterious thumb drive.

Tribute: 1/3

>>1987080
definetly start learning from the skull.
Also, you forgot to tribute warlock 2
check out the thumb drive

>>1987097
Instead of warlock 2 how about we tribute overwatch and see what happens?

>>1987097
Going with this
>>1987119
We'll do that later, he was first

>>1987080
Oh cool another magic sword, toss it in the magic junk pile and look at the thumbdrive.

You reach out to the Grey Warden and receive in return a small chest of gold, gems, and several poultices,

TIER UP!
Tier 3 Power: Emulation
You can emulate an aspect of ability of the main character of a video game you have beaten once per day. The duration of this power depends on how powerful the ability you are emulating is. Though currently you have 1/1, the uses will grow over time.

You are out of Tributes.

>>1987151
>Emulation
Can we emulate games we have already Tributed from?

>>1987119
Shit, missed both of these. I'll do them on the dayskip if no one objects.

>>1987148
The thumb drive contains a self-unpacking program that you may install onto any device with a USB port. It's an extremely powerful decryption program.

>>1987160
No, once you tap a game for anything at all, that game is out for the rest of the quest.

>>1987162
Can it be installed on to our 1337 hacker phone?

>>1987151
Let's test out emulation with a information gathering on the jeweler. Anyone know a game with a good cybersleuth character?

>>1987187
shadowrun?
maybe a sherlock holmes game

>>1987187
System shock I think.

>>1987182
Your superphone actually does have an adapter on it, though it certainly didn't start with one.

>>1987162
The dayskip is fine.

>>1987182
I'd like to do this

>>1987187
It's not a bad skill, but it seems like one we should use in junction with our instantaneous ability more than anything.

We can sleuth for that on our own

>>1987214
>>1987182
You install the program onto your phone, upgrading its hacking abilities significantly.

>>1987208
Install it please.

We can also try to CHIM with with Skyrim once the Emulation becomes more powerful.

>>1987264
test out our hacking on the restaurant the jeweler wanted us at.

>>1987264
Geez how big is our phones memory?

>>1987264

Let's install it

>>1987292
This

>>1987304

It IS a highly-advanced top of the line piece of illegal hacking software from the future, best not to question it. Or maybe it is, could we reverse engineer a copy of the device? Maybe even patent it?

>>1987292
>>1987314

>>1987292
You install the program and then get to work.

It's a close thing... you're still new at this hacking thing, after all, but you manage to break through the restaurant website's security.

There's a remote access control scheme you tap into that lets you see through all of the restaurant's many hidden and security cameras. Below the restaurant are several levels containing living quarters, warehouses, meeting rooms... and what appear to be prison cells, torture chambers and armories.

You're pretty sure you've found a rather elaborate criminal lair. Serious money has gone into this set up.

>>1987388
I'm torn between contacting Alex and overthrowing this thing vs confronting the Jeweler.

Fuck it, let's white knight this shit. About time we really put our powers to work.

>Contact Alex and formulate a plan to raid the joint

>>1987396
Um let's lay low for now, there's still heat from when we met him

>>1987396
Nope, this is gonna turn into another mass-murdering repeat performance.

>>1987396
Anyway we can give an anonymous tip to the cops if we really give a shit

>>1987388
Go learn from magic mentor now.

>>1987396
We just wanted to test our hacking not go crusading against evil because we are the embodyment of justice.
besides, we figured he was shady as fuck if he wanted our goods but didn't want to ask questions.
just check it every now and then to see if they talk about us.

>>1987396
>>1987406
>>1987411
>>1987418
Righteous indignation flares up as you observe the poor souls imprisoned in the dungeon below the restaurant... but caution wins out for now.

You still have a use of Emulation left and most of the day. What do you do?

We should use Emulation to cut down on the time needed to learn magic. 2 weeks is pretty long in this quest.

>>1987447
Hell yea, emulate a magical prodigy

>>1987396
>>1987406
>>1987411
>>1987418
>>1987427

Why don't we just give Alex an anonymous tip?

>>1987447
good idea
emulate while with the mentor should help

>>1987460
because hes also in hiding from the cops from killing people plus if he goes in again he'll wind up killing again. while we don't care he sure seemed traumatized from it.
If you care so much we can find out info about the prisoners but unless they're sex trafficed slaves or some shit we really shouldn't care if they've got other gang bangers locked up.

>>1987460
I am leaning towards the cops for now. Send as much evidence to the police and hope they take action.

>>1987472
Which game did you want to emulate for this? Warlock 2?

>>1987526
sure, use whichever warlock nation leader is closest to wild magic

>>1987526
Before we go learning for the rest of the day we should gather as much evidence as possible from our recent hack.

>>1987543
What are you looking for?

>>1987557
Evidence of criminal activity that can be used in a court to convict.

>>1987557
Get pictures of the prisoners and the facility maybe conversations being had.
Save up all the evidence in case the fucks try and cross us

>>1987557
Snope around for emails, logs anything. Also take some photos of the whole hidden area.

>>1987572
>>1987578
>>1987581
It takes the rest of the day, but you compile several GB worth of recorded security videos, conversations, and even a few odd emails that may be incriminating... it seems that the gangsters owning this place are smart at least to not have a centralized mail hub or outright link to the dark web that can be remote accessed. Too bad someone never figured out that if they could keep an eye on the place 24/7 so could you.
>Gain Evidence Against Giusetelli.

That takes up most of the day, but you manage to put in a solid 4 hours with the skull before sleep takes you. With the power of the Warlock guiding you, you manage to learn at four times the normal speed, knocking your remaining study time to ten days.

>Day 16 ends.

>Emulation Refreshes.

Tributing Overwatch and the usual weird dream will happen when we resume in 19 hours, but I must be off. Thanks for playing!

>>1987638
Thank

I vote we tribute Overwatch next time

>>1987472
I should note that a few are indeed, human trafficking victims.

So,what exactly is the logic in compiling evidence against our only way to turn treasure into usable money?

>>1986601
Oh sweet! My quick research expedition paid off.

>>1986752
To be fair, I couldn't figure out what the hell the magic tab in our inventory was. If I figured it was supposed to raise magic stats somehow, I would have had it thrown in too, and probably been a little bit more conservative with the items that didn't contribute directly to getting magic (ethers, emeralds, experience)

>>1987888

He was useful in the beginning, but now soon the jewelers going to be a liability. He's either going to double cross us or the cops will put a sting and bust us next meet. I personally think his usefulness has ended considering the amount of cash we have on hand.

Since we know have magic I'm going to add and tribute A Bards Tale

Game: Guild Wars, Neverwinter Nights, Two Worlds

>>1988228
>>1987888
This isn't even targeting the jeweler, this is targeting the shady organization he knows.

>>1988228
Seconded, money isn't our primary concern and we have plenty of time to find a new source of revenue, adding Sonny played through as a Gunslinger and Sonny 2 played through as Psychological class

>Quest Resumes<

You dream of darkness, smothering, choking, and a house where someone sits, typing, typing, typing... Odd words echo in your brain.

"It's not a lake. It's an ocean."

Then you wake up, somewhat relieved the dream was relatively mild this time.

>Day 17 begins<

>>1987659
You let the heroes of Overwatch who... well, let's be honest, you've gotten flattened more than a few times. You remain staunch in your belief that it was the fault of your teammates, though.

Anyway, you receive a fully automated, fully upgraded sentry gun as thanks from the team. It's even gift-wrapped.

>>1988228
Game Added and Tributed: A Bard's Tale (Original)
A plain looking ring falls into your hand.

Games Added: Guild Wars, Neverwinter Nights, Two Worlds

>>1989235
Games Added: Sonny, Sonny 2.

What now?

>>1990767

Scouter that ring. Go to the storage and clean that shit out and close your lease/contract whatever. One less thing to worry about.

Also when times found whenever, Scouter our OLD computer...

>>1990767
Has the security system ever been installed yet for both the house and warehouse?

>>1990799

Also spend some amount if time whenever cruising around WITH the scouter looking for weird shit. Take shield

>>1990799
It's a Troll Ring, granting you slow but steady regenerative powers.

You go to your storage unit and move everything to your warehouse. Then you close out your lease. All of this happens easily.

Scouting your computer doesn't reveal much. It's just a computer.

>>1990829
Not yet, they're coming in to set it up tomorrow.

You draw your pistol and move towards the intruder, managing to close the distance to thirty feet. The intruder tilts his head and you aim.

"Freeze!" you shout. The man turns around, looks at you, and bolts into the bushes.

You could do this, but it requires you to link the two, which you haven't done yet.

Chase him

>>1991221
>>1991227
You chase the intruder for a solid minute, wishing rather hard that you'd spent more time with that cardio training you started. Even so you manage to catch up to the man as he tries to climb over a tall hedge.

"Hey!" you shout, brandishing your pistol. The man lets himself drop, turns, frowns, and produces a balisong from a hidden pocket, immediately launching himself towards you. Your shots go wide again- you really should practice more at the range- and his knife scrapes against the invisible energy of your shield as he grapples for your gun with the other hand.

>>1991261
Wrest control of the gun back with both hands

>>1991261
Its time for an old-fashioned knee to the groin.

>>1991261
stab him in the eye with your fingers and knee him in the groin

>>1991298
>>1991289
You slam your knee to your assailant's groin and immediately hear a growl of pain, see his movement cease for a few seconds. You use the moment it gains you to twist your gun out of his hand, rolling away to fire again. The shot goes wide and you hear the dreaded 'click' of an empty magazine.

Your attacker is getting up, you have only a moment to react.

>>1991318
tackle him and pin him down, start raining blows on him

>>1991318

Tier 2 tribute Deus Ex.

>>1991318
fucks sakes. pistol whip him in the head while hes down. worst comes to worst start choking him with both hands or throw him in a sleeper hold

>>1991355

Seconding pistol whipping. We're an all arouder. Wed know about fps melee

>>1991347
>>1991355
>>1991370
You stride up and pistol whip him good, causing him to grunt in pain and stagger back for a moment. A moment.

The knife comes at you again, and again it scrapes off of your shield. Enough is enough you decide, and you pin down your assailant and begin choking him. He stabs you repeatedly with his knife, obviously skilled with it. But skill isn't enough to overpower technology designed to turn aside repeated shots from high caliber weapons.

The sounds he makes as he dies twist your stomach. Gasping, gurgling, his arms flailing around as you sit on top of him and slowly crush the life from him. His eyes are bulging, desperate before he finally goes still.

You've killed your first man.

It's not quite as glamorous as the movies make it out to be, even if it was probably justified. It's even less glamorous when the fresh corpse evacuates its bowels.

In any case, you're in a rich neighborhood, have fired several gunshots, and even if there's no one around now, you're still in a very public place standing over a freshly choked corpse.

What do you do?

This is a temporary solution, the corpse will eventually be found when it starts to smell, but it's bought you at least a day or two.

>>1991484

Well that's just fucking great. Got the cops all over us and a dead body. Again I'm at an impasse. I do hope this is something related to the jeweler or the carjacker. Otherwise we better start using tributes for body armor.

>>1991559
go back home and spy on the restaurant for a few hours see if they had anything to do with it on your hacking phone.
maybe start working on that gun license while we're waiting for them to spill something

>>1991558

Double back to the mansion, set up our turret, make sure no one else is trying to break in, and come back with a vehicle to transport this guy to a more permanent disposal area.

>>1991558
Wtf man, go grab a empty airtight container like a barrel that is large enough to fit a man and come back at night with a vehicle.

we could aslo see if skull mentor has the magic to melt his body into nothing wth magic acid.

>>1991668
>>1991671
>>1991653

You set up your turret after securing the perimeter, then process the latest batch of paperwork for your gun license while you observe the restaurant. You don't see anything of note... until you see your friend the jeweler visit and go into the hidden levels, where you see him exchange one of your diamonds for a large amount of cash. He sticks around a bit talking to a particularly tall man in a suit before leaving.

At the end of three hours, your paperwork is all done and you see nothing else of interest happen. You'll have to take a safety class and then you'll be fully licensed.

>>1991707
You take a trip to a local hardware store and purchase an airtight drum usually used for storing spare fuel. It's still not night by the time you're finished, though.

>>1991668
>>1991671

I think both of these are bad ideas, considering that we MIGHT be under surveillance. Fucking you guys want to see "Game Over" before we're a month in...

Calmly wait to see if the cops canvas the area. I'm thinking deposit more cash, stash what we can in safe hiding spot and getting out of town to try our powers elsewhere is the way to go. After we secure up mansion and warehouse.

Fuck

just call the cops already.

you guys are making it really obvious we want to dispose of a b ody. cops check shoping history.
fill the barrel with water and leave it in the back yard. anyone asks and we say we wanted to start a garden .

>>1991741
You pass a cop car heading back from your street after your purchase at the hardware store. Whatever the cops did, you missed it.

>>1991902

Did our use of emulation allow us to recover our bullets and casings left behind?


If not, can our scouter allow us to track them down?

How long does our emulation last for this ability? Is it still active?

Once our immediate concerns (we are certain there isn't anything connecting us and/or body is safely disposed of) are taken care of, spend all time not already used by random encounters training magic/ocarina/cardio/marksmanship in that order of decreasing priority.

I personally feel we should slow down on the tributes for a while, but I understand that that is an unpopular opinion. We SHOULD emulate magic skills as often as possible to hasten our training.

>>1991902
here a idea to dispose of he body.

Go buy a couple more gardening tools and some hardware. May as well make our cover story of wanting to start a garden more credible.

Go back home store all our bought stuff and and grab the Crysis Molecular Arrestor and a couple of trash bags. Store it in the bag of holding. Go back to the body and freeze the body with the Crysis Molecular Arrestor and then shatter it into manageable chunks. Scoop the chunks into the trashbags and then store it in our bag of holding.

Flush the chunks away once we reach home.

not a bad plan but i don't trust how the cops knew all our locations.
Perhaps we could call the cops.
explain moving the body out of guillt into a more respectful position.
the hours we spent spying as us freaking out and falling asleep out of trauma we couldnt deal with.
we woke up dazed and went shopping thinking we dreamed it up but remembered everything when we saw the cop car pass us by.
i mean, really, what did we do? just defended our home and property out of self defense and if they really want to push it, we throw a buunch of money at a really good lawyer.

Can we add and tribute Bloodborne? I want to see what eldritch shit we might get from the Good Hunter after he's trancended humanity.

On a side note, can we even add games that aren't for the PC? I don't seem to recall us having a console.

Popping in real fast to answer questions.
>>1992112
Yes, you recovered everything. Emulating Snake's abilities lasts a few hours, you still have an hour or so left.

>>1993479
You have consoles, I just didn't list them. You can add games that aren't just for PC.

And I'm gone again.

I return.

>>1992411
Is this the plan you're settling on?

>>1993479
I'll handle this a bit later, I have to check a few things.

>>1995952
if the snake emulations still going gthen fine, fuck it.

>>1995952
Just go though the plan.

>>1995952

Stick with this plan I guess...now were up shit creek

>>1996020
Also fellas one guy with a knife and no ID and we're an unknown nobody. Wonder who sent him

>>1995983

You manage to sneak out to the spot where you hid the body and recover it by freezing, shattering, and storing it in your bag of holding. This will put your bag of holding out of use until the body is disposed of properly, but buys you indefinite time until then.

You spend the rest of your night practicing magic with the Skull. 9 days left.

>Day 16 ends.<
You dream of... something this night... but you can't remember when you wake. You recall a sense of urgency, and vague voices, but nothing solid. One thing does catch your attention though.

Someone's left a package on your front door.

>Day 17 start.<
>Tributes/Emulation refreshes.<

>>1996051
if we have the scouter on us, let's go ahead and get a reading on the package, otherwise grab it and bring it in

>>1996067
The Scouter reveals there is a box containing a large amount of the energy it now registers as 'magic' underneath the wrapping. Some form of portal magic.

>>1996051

Emulate Wizardry IV to use Werdna's magical skill to bolster our daily training.

>>1996093

I say let her rip and let's see what's inside. Again suggesting the drive around Scouter some shit with whatever time whenever

Game; Tenchu Stealth Assassin's

I'm also going to Tier 2 tribute Parasite Eve

>>1996150
this
also see what mr. bones can tell us about the portal and see if he can syphon the magic out of it to render it useless

>>1996150
Game Added: Wizardry IV.
Game Emulated: Wizardry IV.

It was absolute hell playing that game, but now you're glad you did. Tapping the evil wizard's power is especially effective given his mastery of magic. Your advancement in magic this day is tripled! Days left: 6.

>Game Tributed: Parasite Eve
There is a pause, then a wad of crumpled bills and a note falls into your hand.

"Sorry... it's all I had to spare. I wish I could've given you more, but know words can't express my gratitude." - Aya.

Well... given that Parasite Eve's not exactly a game bursting with special items and Aya's just a detective with skills, this probably was about all you could expect.

>>1996189
>>1996174
You open the package, revealing a letter and a gold lacquered puzzle box.

"I thought you might like this little challenge. If you solve it, you'll have access to a great power."

There is no signature.

"The box has some sort of summoning spell on it," the Skull states. "It activates when the puzzle is solved."

>>1996263
Investigate puzzle

>>1996302
The puzzle box works by moving pieces and panels. You fiddle with it for a while before successfully managing to move the first piece in the correct way. A quiet little tune begins playing from the box.

>>1996263

Well damn, guess we'll have to put that onto the back burner until our emulation refreshes.

Tribute Batman: Arkham City

After that call up our white knight buddy, see what he thinks about taking down some shady people doing shady things.

>>1996319
Keep going

Is the tune familiar?

>>1996333
You're not sure. You fiddle with it some more and manage to move another piece, the music tone growing slightly in complexity, a rondo of some sort. It seems the further along in the puzzle you go, the more music is played. The puzzle is also rather difficult, so in order to solve it you'll need to dedicate some time to it, at least a few hours.

>>1996332
You let the Dark Knight know something was guiding his batarang. A moment later a Remote Electrical Charge Gun pops out of the air in front of you.

>>1996374
should have know batman was the way to get a no killin gweapon.

anyway do cardio and reset the turret to work in the warehouse and go back home.
schedule security for both places if we haven't already.

>>1996332
we can just send the evidence to the cops.

>>1996374
Only a few hours? Work on it in our free time.

>>1996393
For a no killing weapon we already have the angel halo
