Face, meet fist. This is Akyu Quest!

[Fightest]

>Tools: Mundane, Rare and Exotic
>...Garments too. We could use something pretty.

> Tools maybe, or a weapon?

> Make a single pick, you greedy so-and-sos. Parser will elaborate on options once the two axes presented have been fixed.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> We actually meant what are there to choice from those choices, instead of a general description

[Fightest]

> We actually meant what are there to choice from those choices, instead of a general description

> Categories first, descriptions later.
> Clarification on categories is relevant, however:
> Mundane items are things you would normally see on a day-to-day basis, or are magically or otherwise unremarkable. A bow and arrows are a Mundane Weapon, for example.
> Rare items are things you hardly ever see. They are often magical artifacts that have gotten to Rinnosuke by unknown means, and can have come from any corner of Gensokyo. Marisa's Mini-Hakkero is a Rare Tool, for example.
> Exotic items are those which have come in from the outside world, through one means or another. Rinnosuke only tends to keep the more interesting ones. Combat Fatigues would be an Exotic Garment, for example.

> Weapons are items that are made to harm another, or can easily be adapted to such purpose.
> Tools are items that serve a very specific purpose that cannot normally be easily done by hand, other than the harming of another.
> Garments are things that can be worn that protect the wearer to some degree, ranging from minor weather protection, to major protection from bodily harm.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Do we still have the rapier?

> Examine our inventory

[Hello Purvis]

>Rare tools.

[Mr_Bob]

>Magical garments. Something that protects without restraining, perhaps?

Also, the thought of Akyu in a sports bra and bloomers is amusing.

[Fightest]

> Do we still have the rapier?

> Examine our inventory

> Items of note in your inventory:
> Gauntlets
> Rapier
> First Aid Kit
> Mirrored Sunglasses
> Money pouch with 30 money

>Rare tools.

> You see:
> Gohei. Complexity: 0/Special. An essential part of a shrine maiden's panoply, this rod with elaborately-woven paper streamers attached to the end is essential in the practice of driving out evil spirits.
> Celestial Keystone. Complexity:Special. An intricately-carved piece of granite about the size of your head, bound by rope. Has been known to be able to manipulate earth and rock to disastrous degrees.
> Mini-Hakkero. Complexity: 2/Special. An eight-sided block of black wood with patterns printed on the front, it is a potent reactor for magical energy. Is commonly-seen in the possession of the witch Marisa Kirisame.
> Frog. Complexity: 0. This is a frog. It is not immediately clear why you found this in this section. It is a dark shade of green, and emits oddly-soothing croaks every once in a while.

>Magical garments. Something that protects without restraining, perhaps?

> You are better-off looking in the Exotic section for that, Parser thinks.
> You see:
> Scarf. Complexity: 0. This is a white silk scarf with red frills. Electricity seems to crackle from it occasionally.
> Elaborate Head-dress. Complexity: 3. You've seen this before, but the last time you recall seeing it, it was being worn by Shikieki.
> Hakama. Complexity: 1. A set of dark-red hakama adorned with red-and-white paper charms.
> Bucket. Complexity: 4. This is a bucket. It looks quite sturdy. Again, it is not immediately clear why it is located in this section.

[Hello Purvis]

>Taking the Hakkero means Marisa won't have it to use on us!
>It does me she's going to come after us, though...

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Hmm, Can we fit in the bucket?

> Check Exotic Weapons

> Examine Skills

[Fightest]

>Taking the Hakkero means Marisa won't have it to use on us!
>It does me she's going to come after us, though...

> These are both things that could be true.

> Hmm, Can we fit in the bucket?

> Check Exotic Weapons

> Examine Skills

> Despite your small stature, you cannot fit into the bucket: your Martial Arts is insufficient for such a feat.

> You see:
> Club. Complexity: 2. Made of a stiff, black material that reflects light in an oddly-patterned way, this is a foot-long club with a side handle. It is light and maneuvrable.
> Bow and arrows. Complexity: 3. Made of a similar material, this longbow has elaborate pulley constructions on both ends. The complicated nocking assembly and additional paraphernalia vastly improve the accuracy of the weapon.
> Yellow device. Complexity: 1. With a handle and trigger assembly similar to that of a crossbow, it is obvious how this weapon should be used. A note attached to this reads: "Incapacitates human target for a long time. Untested on Youkai, but limited effectiveness on fairies suggests their improved resilience. One shot only, twenty feet maximum, shoots in straight line. Requires reloading upon use."

> For skills, see a few pages back, they're all there.

[Hello Purvis]

>Consider the Keystone. Do we have any idea how to use it at all? Does picking it up alter that?

[Mr_Bob]

Hmmm. I have a keen suspicion about that frog, I wonder if.....

>Examine frog further, ask about Moriya Temple.

Also, the Yellow Device would be a good hidden ace if we fight Hakurei, but voting for Bucket for the amusing improvisng opportunities.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Examine Scarf, Inquire to Rinnosuke about the Scarf

[Fightest]

>Consider the Keystone. Do we have any idea how to use it at all? Does picking it up alter that?

> The stone feels warm to the touch, and is almost humming with energy. Unfortunately, you do not know how to tap this energy.

>Examine frog further, ask about Moriya Temple.

> This is a frog. It seems to be completely unremarkable, and does not exhibit the magical properties the Celestial Keystone did.
> "Moriya shrine is indeed likely origin of the frog. Enchanted for monitoring - very subtle magic, hard to detect."

> Examine Scarf, Inquire to Rinnosuke about the Scarf

> This is a white silk scarf with red frills. Electricity seems to crackle from it occasionally.
> "Likely origin is Heaven. Seems elementally-imbued, will probably serve as some form of protection against lightning."

[Hello Purvis]

>Pet the froggy!
>Unless we're scared of frogs.

I recommend the frog. Detect stuff is always hella useful. Failing that, the shawl (which would be hella stylish anyways).

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Ask about the keystone

[Fightest]

>Pet the froggy!
>Unless we're scared of frogs.

I recommend the frog. Detect stuff is always hella useful. Failing that, the shawl (which would be hella stylish anyways).

> You pet the frog. It *ribbit*s. It's oddly soothing.
> "It only seems to monitor for the original enchanter. It is doing so as we speak. I do not know why."

> Ask about the keystone

> "Likely origin: Heaven. Can serve as a spell focus to manipulate earth and stone. Other properties include the ability to fix earth or stone in place."

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Hmm, that could be useful, ability to change terrain to our advantage

[Hello Purvis]

>Ask how the keystone works.

[Fightest]

>Ask how the keystone works.

> "...Works? It's magic. Apply magical power through stone to receive its effects, much like every other spell focus."

[Mr_Bob]

>How has the Moriya Shrine been affected by the tournament?

[Fightest]

>How has the Moriya Shrine been affected by the tournament?

> You do not know. Rinnosuke might.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Can we use magic?

> Ask Rinnosuke about Moriya Shrine

[Fightest]

> Can we use magic?

> Ask Rinnosuke about Moriya Shrine

> No.

> "Moriya's shrine maiden expected to rise in Standing over coming few days, considering her preparations. Value is below average, too many unknown factors. Patron gods are unknown factors - they do not show up on the Scroll."

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Take the scarf, maybe we can use it like Iku does

[Hello Purvis]

>Lets look at exotic tools and rare clothes.

[Doll.S CUBE]

[/quote

> Do this first and if nothings interesting take the scarf

[Fightest]

>Lets look at exotic tools and rare clothes.

> You examine exotic tools.
> You see:
> Box. Complexity: 1. This is a metal box about the size of a toolbox. It has dials and panels on the front. A flexible wire comes out of the side, attached to a black cylinder at the end that fits into your hand. An attached note says: "Measurement device. Detects "radioactive decay." No use found so far."
> Crossbow. Complexity: 3. This appears to be a crossbow on first glance, but a complicated assembly of wires, cords and pulleys on the sides of the arms suggest a different function. It seems that the projectiles that it fires trail a cord behind them.
> Goggles. Complexity: 2. It is obvious that this construction fits over the face and eyes, but the large amount of lenses, knobs and dials tell of a purpose beyond simple eye protection.

> You examing rare garments.
> You see:
> Scarf. Complexity: 0. This is a white silk scarf with red frills. Electricity seems to crackle from it occasionally.
> Elaborate Head-dress. Complexity: 3. You've seen this before, but the last time you recall seeing it, it was being worn by Shikieki.
> Hakama. Complexity: 1. A set of dark-red hakama adorned with red-and-white paper charms.
> Bucket. Complexity: 4. This is a bucket. It looks quite sturdy. Again, it is not immediately clear why it is located in this section.

[Hello Purvis]

>Do we have any concept of what a radioactive decay is?
>Try on the goggles.

> Ask Rinnosuke the purpose of the headdress is
