[X] Plan: Make the old man move.
- [] Meet up with dumbledor to sell information about the death faction
- - [] Name drop the sybil prophesy if he don't want to deal.
- - - [] For the right price tell him about the necromancer bases, The potters and all that. Feed misinformation that Riddle still have some of the hallows.
He is the only faction who's men wasn't targeted during the recent clash. If we can get him to sqaush atleast on of the necromancers bases before Riddle is back things would look a lot better for us.
I'm following the Persona 3 version of SL, when if you neglect them too long, they start to degrade. Why'd you thibk I gave you so many personal actions?
Can't we just throw the Potter problem over to Dumbledor (for the right price). We have enough to do already and this sounds like something he would pay to know.
Probably the same thing that happened to Elizabeth's social link. We need 4 rp points with her to get back to SL 10. It's probably worse with Oliver though.
-[] Convince pureblood/wealthy families to let us do the procedure on their house elves. Use Dace's best judgement on how to convince them (house elf misbehavior, Lucius releasing all of his elves, Overlord attack). Try to get them to pay us for taking those dangerous elves off their hands or at least give us the house elves for free.
-[] Convince Dumbledore to let us do the same procedure on the Hogwarts house elves. Bring Chibi to any negotiations and drive a hard bargain. Emphasize that all the Hogwarts students are in danger. Use our information on the Death faction for additional leverage if needed.
--[] Any information we didn't have to reveal to convince him give to Dumbledore but make sure he appropriately compensates us for our troubles
---[] Use Emmeline Potter being mind-controlled as proof that we know what we're talking about if he's being difficult.
Also, if the goblins are going to turn into brown minions that means Gringots is no longer safe. We don't have anything stored there any more, right? And would we be able to set up an alternate bank in our home base?
Nope. Dace has a vault at the Rampart. Mentionned numerous times. As for the second one, you can't, because you chose the Frotress archetype and locked out the dwarves until you get another mountain based Rampart.
Agatha elves = Tall, blond, humanoid elves that are pretty to look at, are magical and have their free will. House elves are former minions that Salazar Slytherin's spell work turned into servants for wizardkind. Minions are creatures made up of raw soul. Most of them don't have free will or even sentience and are instead led by the wi

You have no idea.
He's already aware of it.
yup.
Next turn.
Won't work, they like their little comfort and have no common sense.
Won't work. Best chance is to warn him.
Won't work. Dumbles has a plan for them.
He's already working on the problem, that lad James Bond is very useful at noticing what's wrong when it comes to women

I think you may have double posted here mate.
Unless this is a code or metaphor of great significance that we will not realise until a future update, at which point it will have been too late to save good ol Dace.
Although I have to admit, I didn't realise it stormed in the Antartic, or that it was possible for the internet to malfunction when utilised by the august Penguiline aristocracy.
Alright, gonna stop the votes tomorrow at 3 pm GMT.
Would have stopped today, but somebody just won big time at the rolls and now I have to do even more maths and draft their moves for the next 5 turns e_e

Steps became closer and closer to him and his cover was torn off, leaving him face to hood with the man. The figure then raised the very same crystal he came for, before waving him under his nose before putting it back in the pouch at his waist, making Dace blink in incomprehension as the man's figure retreated away.
Fortunately for Dace, the Overlord isn't familiar with the evil overlord list.
12. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.
Uncertain loyalty: Oliver was one of the numerous success stories of Dace's methods. One face among the crowd, son to a single mother after their father walked out on them. However reccently, due to his employer's behavior and actions, he began to have doubts about him and has decided that just following wasn't enough anymore, which he knows will bring him at odds with Dace, eventually.
In the end, after reading all of those reports, Dace decided something had to be done about the House Elf problem and the putrefaction of Cornwall. Still, nothing could be done for now, but he'd keep an eye open, just in case.
Turn 5 : Spring 1986.
March 22nd 1986
[X] Spend time with one of your SLs: +2 RP
-[X] Therapy Spend time with Lily: +3 RP, +1/? to recovery 80 + 40 (Leadership) - 10 (Nat1) = 110 : Tier 2 success.
For some strange reason, Lily bounced back much quicker this time, and Dace knew for a fact that he wasn't the cause, which lead to him forming the hypothesis that she mest be somehow acclimatizing to her condition.
However, as he walked out, a shadow ran along the walls, and he instinctively concealed himself, feeling both anger and anticipation coursing through his veins. Was the castle already compromised?!
Then, with a rather loud noise, a small figure came into view.
It was his granddaughter who tripped over the carpet, her unusual dark clothing looking out of place. She immediately got back to her feet, looking left and right with an expression of concentration, before she very obviously tiptoed towards the door Lily was locked in.
Dace finally understood. She was trying to be stealthy.
And failing miserably.
Then, her hand reached for the door and it unlocked. Without any key. And without her touching it.
The older man just watched silently as she walked into the room, the lack of crazed shouting from Lily indicating it was a common occurence, closing and locking the door behind her, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
It seems somebody has been keeping secrets. He wasn't sure he liked that.
+5 RP Lily, +1 Diplomacy. +1/??? Recovery score.
March 23rd 1986
[X] The old tales are sometimes true. Brush up on your knowledge, after all each time something supernatural happened, a wizard was behind it. Variable results, autopass
Today, he decided to take a book at random in his library and checked the cover. It seems like it was a book about old celtic gods and cults. It contained quite a lot of trivia, like the fact it was custom to release white hares before battles to attract Andraste's favor. However more alarming was that the cult of C- Would you look at that! Your paperwork is about to escape!
-that his paperwork had been left unattended for too long!
Failure due to external intervention.
March 29th 1986
[X] Survey the land. You'll never know what you can fins by running around, but at the very least, you'll know the land's map. 41 + 60 (Acquisition) - 10 (Nat1)= 91. Success.
After an intensive session of signing and threatening with fire, his seemingly futile actions finally bore fruit.
The Pile was shrinking.
One more turn until Nat1 Negation.
April 1st, 1986
[X]But will that security chief be the best ? No. Try to poach an auror or two! Considering what they're doing with them, they won't be missed. Costly though.
Cost : 7 500G 22 + 20 (perception : people) = 42 : Failure
It seemed that, in fact, they would be missed.
In another note, Dace received a very polite letter from his good friend Rufus asking him to kindly back off.
Failure. Rufus is now alert.
April 10th.
[X] This may be a golden opportunity for networking.
[X] Pureblood Meetings. After the incident in Diagon Alley, people are worried about what's happening. Go there to gauge the temperature.
60 / 20 % Chances to reassure the purebloods about your intentions. 63 + 40 ( Presence) = 103 : Success!
Dace looked around him at the function, the crop of the pureblooded cream was attending. He could see the Parkinsons and the Diggory on the far off side, arguing once again about some thing or another. Still, more of them were staring, not at him, but at the woman attached to his arm.
Martha stood straight, her dark golden robe making her skin, and the amber necklace on her throat, stand out. She looked all around her with an expression nearing disdain, and only her vice-like grip betrayed her nervousness. Still, Dace didn't think those gazes were particularly hostile, the anti-muggleborn sentiment being something of a taboo those years, due to the one who ineptly defended it.
He let go of his bethrothed and walked towards Regulus, the new head of the Black looking at him nervously while his wife, a mousy little thing, was holding their young son. Dace looked at the child, who didn't look like much, before congratulating the young parents. For some reason, they looked even more scared. He looked behind him and Martha just smiled back politely at him, while Regulus was visibly paling.
The silence in the room was deafening, then, the doors opened once again, creaking, revealing Lucius, his blond hair groomed to perfection, accompanied by his wife. The man's gaze sweeped through the room, before focusing on dace and the one accompanying him. He raised an eyebrow, before swanning towards him, his wife walking behind him, a hand on her mouth as if she was trying to keep herself from giggling.
"I heard you were robbing cradles Gwallawg, however, I didn't think you'd bring her here." He ribbed the man, his smirk and lack of insults making it clear he was jesting. Dace decided not to let the younger man's effort go to waste and played along, sighing dramatically.
"When you get as old as me, you will realize having someone young to take care of you becomes necessary. For example, she is very useful in nonmagical situations." Dace looked at her, trying to communicate the need for Martha to show off, that she somehow interpreted into her needing to grab the nearby silver candlestick and easily turning it into a metallic pretzel, ignoring the burning wax running over her hands and people's winces upon hearing the metal shriek as it was twisted into an unnatural shape. Martha then put it neatly on the table, where it stood on its foot.
Few people dared to approach afterwards.
Purebloods properly cowed into submission. No backlash to marrying Martha.
April 20th
[X] Networking at the Ministry. With the new minister, comes a new balance of power. You never really bothered with it before, but with the current state of things, getting a few people to report to you and allowing you to influence the decisions would be rather advantageous.
60 / 20 % Chances to forge ties with ministry workers. Gain access to Ministry confidential information. Chance to get access to Ministry resources. 72 + 40 (Presence) = 112 : Tier 2 success.
After the unpleasantness with Rufus, Dace decided he wasn't one to be one upped so easily. If he couldn't enter throught the aurors, he'd do it through the rest. Which meant more contact with people.
Still, as socially inept as he was, even he could waltz in and chat with random people. And it seemed he struck gold on his first try too.
Dolores Umbridge was a squat woman with a large mouth and greenish skin complexion, signs of a mermish ancestry, but she seemed determined to keep that part under silence by being the most bigoted woman of the entire place. However, she had contacts, and it took only the slightest bit of flattery to get her to spill everything.
As the secretary of Cornelius Fudge, she had his ear, and his confidence. And it seemed the man was not confident enough in himself to keep a blind eye regarding Rufus' actions ad Head of the Aurors, deciding to plot to try and sack the man to rid his Ministry from insidious influences.
Now, wasn't that interesting...
Entered contact with Dolores Umbridge. Learned of Cornelius Fudge's plot against Rufus Scrimgeour. Dace now has a backdoor to the Minister's cabinet.
Welp. That part wasn't that interesting after the rather emotionnally charged other ones, buuuut. Well, you know the drill, it's the end fo the turn, so you get the....
Interlude choice!
[]Chaos : Money Money Money~
[]Order : Why is everything on fire?!
[]Life : Why is nothing on fire?!
[]Death : Just the two of us~
[]Joker : I'm fairly sure a human spine is not supposed to bend that way...
[]Wildcard : Meanwhile, in America : Mo-kun and Hood-chan's lovey-dovey date!
Due to chargen decisions, Chibi has a negative stealth score. Yeah.
Also, thank Lucius guys, he saved your butt out there by disarming the riot before it could take place
Sorry for the length, burnt myself out with the maths of the backup elemental factions, and I'm getting tired so I'll be catching some ZZZ soon, so any question before I go?
Does Rufus already know about what Fudge is up to?
Also we only need one survey action to get rid of that -10 so the other learning action is for research and hopefully Ceridwen doesn't sabotage us again.
Chibi is the one who's interested in Lily so that's a lot better than someone else.
Want the life quest interlude since we have adequate spying on Death & Chaos.
[X]Life : Why is nothing on fire?!
