The Curse of Kowhai Mall - JUDITH MAIN THREAD - COMPLETED

Post by ambic »

The Curse of Kowhai Mall

Role:
Judith

Player:
Nancy Drew 39


You are Judith, a descendent of Van Helsing himself, and a veritable famed Ghost Hunter. You also dabble in killing any creatures of otherworldly origin. You have heard there are at least 3 ghosts haunting this mall. Find them, and destroy them.

Goals

1. Find and destroy at least 3 ghosts
2. If along the way, you find evidence of Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Aliens, Mummies, or any other inhuman creatures, you need to eliminate them as well. (These may or may not exist)

Once you have captured at least 3 ghosts, buy yourself a train ticket, board the train running alongside the mall, and leave the game. You will not be able to leave the game if along the way, you have uncovered evidence of other types of inhuman creatures. You will need to eliminate these creatures too. You will receive notification, when and IF this occurs.

Inventory Slots

1. Ghost Vacuum (Uncharged)
2. Book about Ghosts (Ghosts are victims of murder or accident. They remain by chance. Cats like to hang out where the ghost OR body is. Confronting them with proof of death is bad. They dont know they are ghosts)
3. <Empty>
4. <Empty>
5. <Empty>
6. <Empty>
7. <Empty>
8. <Empty>
9. <Empty>
10. <Empty>


Your Ghost Vaccuum can be used to suck up ghosts and spirits, destroying them in the process. However it is currently uncharged. You will need to find somewhere to charge it before you can use it. Charging takes 24 hours. It can only be used once during a phase.

Statistics

Hit Points:
You have 13 hit points.
Strength:
You have 6 strength points. You will roll a 6 sided dice during attacks.

Just post in here, or in the main thread.

Eg
Visit Bathrooms


You can optionally put a backup room in case your first choice is already full

Thanks.

I have attempted to post some clarifications in the main thread to help make it clearer.

Rooms have a max of 4 people before they are considered taken. So your choices will be Needful Antiques, and if that has already reached 4 people, then Upbeat Cafe. Its statistically unlikely you will need a third choice. I can't tell you what other people have chosen, you will find out when you visit the rooms to see who is there with you. This is a social game after all, so getting alone with a small group of friends is one possible strategy to playing the game.

Ah, apologies, it was just a generic prod. Let me explain a bit:

You are in Phase 1 of the game. You can interact with all the items and locations within the eatery.
Phase 2 starts in just over 24 hours. You will be headed to the Antiques store for that phase.

The prod was a generic prod to any players with a low post count in the Main thread. The main thread is where you can pick up objects, and do stuff. There's no accusation intended by the message, I simply copy and pasted all names with less than a certain number of posts. I have one player with only 1 post so far, and another with 0. The intention was to just make sure if players needed to be replaced, I could be on top of that. As you replied pretty much immediately, I'm aware you are active and playing :)

So to be completely clear, yes, your choice was received. You will be going to the Antiques store, and I'm sure you will enjoy it in there. I can confirm that the room is not full, and it is on a first-come-first serve basis. You will arrive there not long after the deadline.

There is about 9 hours left in this phase, why dont you head to the Bookstand or the Customer service desk and see whats up with one of those. Maybe it will help you get a feel for whats happening :). You will head to the antiques store automatically in 9 hours.

So what's happening at the moment, people are going up to the Santas grotto, service desk, Bookstand or phone store. Each one takes you to a private thread, where you can talk to the store people, interact with others in the game, buy stuff, inspect things, etc. The main thread is only one of about 5. As well as that, people have chosen which stores they want to explore in Phase II.

For example: Should you walk up to the service desk right now, there are people at it, and some stuff to read.

I'm sorry you are feeling a bit confused right now. I'm taking with Captain Meme about the best ways to help you get up and running. You have a pretty cool role.


Right now:

- You can visit any of the following: Service Desk, Bookstore, Phone Store, Santas grotto - and these will give you some extra threads where you can interact with stuff
- You can look into any of the stores for ideas of where to go later in the game. At deadline you will be moved into the Antiques store (as per your choice earlier. Its a great choice!). This will be a new thread exploring the Antiques store. That should be a fun place to visit.
- You can chat with any player in the eatery, which is everyone as everyone is here.

As you can see Battle Mage started a chat with you. You can pick some of the other players you think seem nice, and start chatting to them too. Just ask me to set up a private chat with anyone you like. Some of them may have learned stuff already that could be useful to you. And there may be people around willing to help you with your goals.

They are currently off in other shops for the phase, which has about 4 days left. You can talk with the people in the Antique store with you.

At the end of this phase, everyone will meet back in the eatery again, and you can chat about what you found here with them, and they can share about what they found wherever they went. For example Battle Mage mentioned to you he was going to the Fashion Store. You can talk to him then to find out if he managed to get there.

Just to help you out a bit Nancy, here are some things in the current room you could try

- Have a read of the ancient documents. Maybe there's something useful for you. Even if there isn't, maybe there's something useful for someone else you could tell them about to gain friends.
- Bite the bullet and climb into the alley way. Maybe you will find something there that you like.
- Talk to Pat Miyagi about anything you like. Maybe he knows things that could help you. Maybe he knows some ghost stories.
- Have a read of the scrolls. Some people have done so already. You will see some of them have recipes. Maybe Pat can tell you where to find the ingredients. You could try your hand at making a recipe, just for the fun of it.
- Have a look at the covered things. Maybe there's a reason they are both covered.
- Look around the room to find a power socket. You do need to charge up your ghost vacuum at some stage.
- If you post
Look at Gadget Section
in the room you will see that there is a sun lamp for sale. Perhaps letting someone who is interested in vampires know about that might gain you a friend.
- Looking at items, sections of shelves you will see items that line up with other peoples stories. You might be be able to use what you learn just by picking things up, or looking that them. You may even be lucky enough to catch someone in a lie. Who knows.
- In the crystals for sale, there is an alien crystal for 100 dollars. Maybe you can steal it? Maybe that's a risk? Players can be arrested. But maybe getting arrested means you get to go find out what happened to Pooky.

Just post any actions you like in the thread. There are many many clues in the game, some for you, some for others. Do anything that seems like fun. Turn off light switches. Pull stuff. Break stuff. You may suffer some consequences for actions. But you also might find rewarding things that help you out. You are only limited by your own creativity here. As mods we will try to allow actions as much as we can.

You could even think of an action to try that us mods never expected, and we will do our best to adapt the story line around what you do. For example, you could now lock the window that everyone climbed out. Now they cannot get back through it. Why would you do that? I have no idea. You simply can do it. And that's where the fun of the game is.

So here you could dob Groza529 into the guard. You could lie to the guard. You could blackmail groza or befriend him. You could fight the guard. Your options are only limited to what you think would be beneficial to you

You will be able to get there after the next phase. It has been opened as an area now. Be sure to charge your ghost vacuum somewhere before then. Ask Pat if there is a power socket in here, or look for one in the eatery when you arrive there soon.

A meteor storm occurred See this post first: viewtopic.php?p=13069142#p13069142) for details

The sheer amazement of the night sky paled in comparison to what happened to you. As you stood watching open mouthed at the glory of the sky, you noticed that the fourth explosion seemed more powerful than the others. Without warning, you found yourself on the roof for a second. There is a viewing platform up here, and you are standing on it with a better view than anyone down near the carpark. Sarah the girl from the Phone store is there, watching. She seems startled by your sudden appearance. You remember that someone told you about a ghost up here, and you turn to look for them... only to see the carpark once again. You are back where you just were. Outside with the others.

You now have a MANA statistic added to your game. The meteor storm has somehow given you 6 Mana points, and Mana seems to have given you the ability to teleport to be with a person of your choice. Each time you teleport, it costs 2 Mana points. You will teleport across rooms. You do not know of any way to restore Mana once spent.

You really, really need to plug your ghost vacuum in soon. Preferably now. Unplug the PC at the service desk. If you end up confronting a ghost without it charged, it could be disasterous

Your vacuum is charging. You will automatically recollect it at the end of this phase.

Are you happy you understand what was in the book now?

I have you down as going to the Graveyard as your main choice, but as it wasn't bolded, I just wanted to double check.

Your character would probably be most interested in any of these locations:
- Grave Yard (Where you are currently headed, as far as I understand)
- Roof Top (Some people told you there was a ghost up there and your ghost vacuum is ready to use. Might be worth a shot)
- Chapel
- Gym (There were rumours about a Zombie in the gym)
- Laundromat (someone mentioned something invisible walking around in there? Maybe true maybe not?)
- Magic Store (Called Legerdemain Supplies)

If you chat to people you might even be able to convince someone to come with you and explore with them.

He looked to be forced to do what he did. There might be another explanation. If you find him, you can always try to vacuum him to see what happens.

Goals

1. Find and destroy at least 3 ghosts
2. If along the way, you find evidence of Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Aliens, Mummies, or any other inhuman creatures, you need to eliminate them as well. (These may or may not exist)

Once you have captured at least 3 ghosts, buy yourself a train ticket, board the train running alongside the mall, and leave the game. You will not be able to leave the game if along the way, you have uncovered evidence of other types of inhuman creatures. You will need to eliminate these creatures too. You will receive notification, when and IF this occurs.
You have found evidence of vampires. You will need to eliminate them too

The vampires tire of whatever it is you tried to do, and throw you into the laundromat. You land in the office, not quite sure how they did that. viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88092

The only way of exploring the mall right now is via the built in paths of the airvents that you have discovered.

Next phase you will be able to get to the gym, and I will put that through automatically. Its about a day away from occurring

Yes, it is. All you have to do is find one more ghost, and then get rid of the vampires. Hopefully you will have some friends around that can help you with that / do it for you.

As this is the last phase, you may now change to any room you like at any time (unless you are in a fight).

It's going to be. You need to talk to the other players. Collectively they know the answers you need.

As in, in the Eatery: There are multiple players in there - Pooky, Talitha, Battle Mage, Lendustus are all in there. If you talk to them they might just be able to help you. Ask them all if they have seen anything that could help you.

This is the graveyard.

You dig at the flaxes, and you find the body of Spiro in the flaxes. You cover it back up. Spiro is the ghost! Spiro is a player, and thats why you couldnt just find him :)

Well done! You captured the final ghost. About 4 of the players had found his body, and knew that he was a ghost. They should have told you about it :/ but didnt.
