Anyone listening to the wireless house phone in the kitchen of the Mansion of Darkness can hear much of what is said in the main hall, kitchen and dining room of Spyhold Manor. They can also faintly hear any loud noises in the entertainment room above the main hall.

I'm taking some liberties with describing the room, but if you feel it's not okay I can rewrite it. (in case you want 2 person to share a room, for instance.)

The description's fine, though the bathroom should be connected to one other bedroom on the other side. This is the only connection between the two rooms (they don't have a shared area like the suites at the Jobsem estate).The other room has probably been assigned to Kirino.

Berenice has a similar arrangement with Suika. Nobody is sure if Gemma has a bedroom or not; she's often found sleeping in closets or behind furniture. Similarly, nobody is sure if K has a bedroom either, though most just assume that the Doctor leaves her plugged in to a handy wall outlet at night.

[up]Okay, sounds good. Although a bit contrived architecturally, it fits well, I guess.

My idea is that since we are working for the 'dark side', the rooms would be more bare-bones, compared to the Jobsem manor.

Indeed - and two small rooms sharing one tiny bathroom is more spartan than each small room having its own tiny bathroom. The bathroom doesn't occupy the entire space between the two rooms, either; there is a closet on the hall side.

A bit of Fridge Brilliance here: the Mistress root goes well with the Windows of the Soul power.

Is there any penalty for using athletics this time, or it's acceptable? Also, can we add our rolls? We have to move on different squares, but we can probably assist each other, with advices, etc.

Yes, athletics is fine, but the maids must find their way alone. If one gets to the top before the other, she can assist the other with Cunning, telling her where to go to get to the other peak.

The the things stored on the bookshelves in the office were almost a complete loss, though the stuff in the desk was fine. All the furniture in the dining room will need to be replaced. It goes without saying that curtains, carpet and windows will need to be replaced, not to mention the extensive repairs that will need to be made to the first floor facade - and the master doesn't even know about the damage Hui Jong did to the yard, wall, front door and helicopter.

I cant get Kirino-chan to make it across then, its impossible for her until Karina makes it across and uses Cunning to help Kirino-chan.

The initial roll was Athletics (fancy moves) or Cunning (careful thought) or Luck (this should be obvious); Kirino has two of those three at 2, so it should be possible for her.

I see, I thought you said those are the stats we couldnt use! - I struggled to see how I could have gotten across by Affection! hahaha...

Ok, I basically need a 5 or more on a 1d6 to make it (*2 using Cunning makes it a 10).

Ok, Cunning Roll 1d6*2 = 12 (!)

Alright! I'm posting up now!

I'll let someone else answer Dan. I don't want to hog the spotlight.

Berenice, Gemma and the mooks heard everything Dan and the maids said. All Spyhold maids who participated in the defense of the manor gain 2D6 favor for a job well done (at least until Dan finds out otherwise).

Hitsugi is now the Temporary Master:

  • Hitsugi Loses
    • Maid Power: The Power of Friendship
    • Maid Weapon: Claws
  • Hitsugi Gains
    • Master Type: Layman
    • Power Source: Fear
    • Power Source: Assets
    • Favorite Maid Type: Heroine
    • 1D6 Stress (2)
    • -1 to all attributes vs. Maids

Hitsugi also gains 6 Favor, but she cannot spend Favor until she regains Maid status.

2d6=12 (!) Favor, putting Kyla at 31.

Also, I take it Hitsugi will get her Maid Power and Maid Weapon back once Dan returns?

Also (again), I'm planning to have Kyla explain what's wrong with her when she and Tammy are alone. More shipping fun!

I just remembered, one of the ways to Comfort someone is get them to activate their Stress Explosion prematurely, and participating in said Stress Explosion will make them lose Stress twice as fast. Plus, they can remove 1d6-3d6 Stress if their roleplaying is up to the task...

Let's see, 2d6, right? -rolls- total of 4. (My streak with the dice had to end sometime.) That shifts Tammy's Favor from 6 to 10.

Edit:[up][up]After reading that over, I think I have an idea where you're planning to take that.

Hitsugi will revert to form when she's no longer the interim master, yes.

Ehm... if you want, I can tone down the Ship Tease (we have time, after all), it's just so much fun Karina struggling with her feelings.

Also, Schrödinger's Gun really is a useful tool. For instance, there was no indication that the two platforms were adjacent, so they are now. (With permission from the GM, of course.)

Note: there is only room on the peaks for one maid each; the tiles were previously stated as 1'x1' squares, i think. Kirino was directing Karina to the other peak. If they were adjacent, they would have been a single peak. I will allow them to be close enough for Kirino to reach out to help Karina stand, but they are still at least two squares away from each other - and there is a bottomless-looking crevasse between them. Don't slip! ^_^;

If you put a black and a white square adjacent to each other it's no longer two peaks.

Now that you say so, it does make some sense. evil grin

Not a big problem if not, I just have to delete a few words, from the first 'paragraph'.

Also, is it the "fridge conservation" the doctor is showing videos of?

I'm sorry but what is Berenice searching for? I thought she was with Gemma and the Mooks eavesdropping. >_<

I dont mind the Ship Tease btw, Kirino-chan has alot of Fetish Fuel and general Ms. Fanservice-ness going for her...

However, she does only have eyes for the Dark Master, however a seduction that succeeds may direct some of Kirino-chan's attention to Karina's way, haha!
