DoofQuest- a Disney Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest

Reader mode
*so*...that was eventful.

Personally I'd rather *not* steal from Pandorus...but do we have the diplo to get Janna not to swipe it? HOpefully she listens, as I'd rather not make more enemies than we already have.

Two hour moratoriam, guys, wait before voting.

I will say that narratively we made probably the best rolls... if not the best in terms of "winning" flawlessly.

And lets get the Glooms, I want us to sweep up with the things for sell. Yes I know that book is well very evil but you think Pandarus isn't going to use that thing. At least with us we have too much to do to really do much with it.

Yeah, that last Curse sucked, and I really don't know what I want to do with regarding the magical secrets. That Said I'm DEF down for stealing the Book. Shame about the loss of our incompetence screen but atleast we got some good stat bonuses along with Janna.

I think Russ wants to be proven wrong here.

'Diseased Lunatic of Danville' now only provides an increase of 7 to any Intrigue actions made against DEI.

So our trait now only increases the DC of hostile intrigue actions against us by 7?
 
[ ] Yoink the Book (Moderate Intrigue Check to avoid anyone seeing you take it)

We have, depending on order of operations, either 14+38+10+5+7=74 or 17+38+5+7=77 Intrigue. We can pass a moderate check. Also, I want Janna to have it.

Quest: Moolah and Magic completed!
Janna has met up with Brocamas! She can do jobs for the leprechaun and possibly obtain magical items in return! 'Work for Brocamas' Personal Action unlocked!
Multiverse's Best Sandwich, Scrolls of Jo-Lan, Crystal Key, and Yáng Talisman obtained!
You have made a reasonable first impression on the Glooms! This warlock duo is of… questionable competence, to say the least, but they do seem to know quite a bit about the interdimensional scene, and they also have a couple magical artifacts on hand. They have been added to your Rolodex!
You have made a decent first impression on Magica De Spell! The witch will be open to buying unwanted magical artifacts off of you in the future.
You (well, Janna, but close enough) have made a favorable first impression on Eli Pandarus, who has suggested he would be open to a collaboration in the future!
Janna has made a favorable first impression on Maxim Horvath! He suggested that he might be willing to part with an Encantus at a future date, but not for money!
Open Ties to Magical New York Diplomacy action unlocked!

Doof's Intrigue has increased by 3! Janna's Intrigue has increased by 2! Janna's Occult has increased by 3!
Agent Russ' Occult score revealed to be 15! Agent Russ is not a spell slinger, but he has spent decades dealing with them.

1. Not valuable atm, but could be critical if we end up needing unicorn hair.
2. Potentially valuable, moderately valuable, somewhat valuable with a short term payoff, Very Valuable.
3. Potentially somewhat valuable.
4. Somewhat Valuable
5. Potentially very valuable.
6. Moderately Valuable.
7. Eh. The drop is annoying but it was a double edged sword.
8. Amazingly Valuable.
9. Very Valuable


Talk about a payoff. This is outperforming both Birds of a Feather and Blue Hawaii, despite both being extremely useful quests, and comes in solidly over "You made me love Xanadu" and "Expedition to castle doofhawk. Only the sands heist wins out, and not even that if we discount offing syndrome, and it had a larger opportunity cost to boot.

I think we should pick 1, for a few reasons. First, we could use more Russ loyalty. Second, he has a good idea what he's talking about. Thirdly, we aren't really equipped for a full magical rollout, be it in terms of magical capabilities or PR campaign or dealing with magical factions that don't want to be exposed. FInally, it's likely not long for this world anyway, if we're right about the prophecy.
if we discount removing syndrome; it also had a larger opportunity cost.

To be honest, it seems more like choosing to take Russ's advice would give us a very small loyalty boost for the short-term, while picking the other option, following through and succeeding would result in a larger more permanent boost.

He is loyal to the ideals of America, and magical creatures being persecuted or being forced to live in fear would go against his values.

I have to say as much as I'd like to prove Russ wrong...a DVV setting is arguably not the place to do it right away for me, I think we need to build the foundation and essentially ensure that if/when it does break it does so in a favorably reacting way.

And then you make this point and swing me that way again >.< both of you need to stop being so darned persuasively logical.
 
If I had to guess actually proving Russ wrong would give a big boost in loyalty but that's be a huge project which I don't feel comfortable undertaking with everything else that we need to do.

My best guess is that Ross very much views it as a situation where it's the lesser of two evils and protects all involved from crossfire.

He wants. A better solution but that's require a seismic shift in how the world operates right now.

I absolutely agree! I don't think we're equipped to prove him wrong, though. For goodness sakes, we can't get people to stop discriminating against toons, and they've been persecuted for less than a century.
 
I'm thinking that the curse Winifred laid is connected to Demona. Possibly also to Christmas rather than the Shakespeare play.
 
Fuck What did they do?

also what object did we get the scares them? The key?

also well played Janna well played.

And we just lost half of our Dissiesed lunatic trait in one quest. Damn it how can we raise it back up?
