Patchy Quest: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>Tell all of Sakuya's secrets

>"Hmm...not at the moment. Well...I recall a few interesting things about Daiyousei..."

>You start to tell her everything you know about Sakuya, which really isn't much aside from the fact you are certain she uses pads, but the robed figure stops you, waving a hand completely engulfed in sleeve, "No no no! I need secret things! Things with secret in the name, so you know that they're secrets."

[Seian Verian]

> Add the word "Secret" to Frog Oil's item name
> Give Secret Frog Oil

[Hello Purvis]

> Add the word "Secret" to Frog Oil's item name
> Give Secret Frog Oil

>"That doesn't count! I can sniff out fake ones, you know!"

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Inquire as to the locations of the Gentleman's Suit, Five-Alarm Hot Sauce, and a cruise missile.

[Seian Verian]

> "If you can sniff out fake ones, why can't you tell real ones if they don't have the word secret in their name?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Inquire as to the locations of the Gentleman's Suit, Five-Alarm Hot Sauce, and a cruise missile.

>The robed figure rubs her chin. "...I think maybe Mystia or Rinnosuke might have some hot sauce."

> "If you can sniff out fake ones, why can't you tell real ones if they don't have the word secret in their name?"

>She laughs. "They're called secret things because they are secret, sillybutt! And I know the real ones when I see 'em!"

[Rikter]

>Call hax upon the hooded figure

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Hi Keine"

[E-Nazrin]

>You have a keen eye! That is not a letter a, it is an ant that has somehow climbed into the parser due to negligence. Please ignore it. The responsible party has been sacked.

>bite a moose
>use big stick as miniature Quest Log
>carve a note about "no shadows" possibly meaning "Rumia with her powers disabled" onto Quest Log

>"Bees."

[Hello Purvis]

>Call hax upon the hooded figure

>You have no phone.

>"Hi Keine"

>"Where?!" exclaims the hooded figure, looking around suddenly. "I haven't even done m-what a minute...You tricked me! That's not nice!"

>bite a moose
>use big stick as miniature Quest Log
>carve a note about "no shadows" possibly meaning "Rumia with her powers disabled" onto Quest Log

>"Bees."

>You have no moose to bite.
>You scratch a note into your Big Stick. It is not a pleasant experience and you totally ruin a fingernail in the process. You really need some writing utensils...
>"It's too late in the year for bees," says the robed figure. "So, do you have any secret things?"

[Pesco]

> "I hear Tewi has an outside connection for socks"

[UncertainJakutten]

>"Where?!" exclaims the hooded figure, looking around suddenly. "I haven't even done m-what a minute...You tricked me! That's not nice!"

>"Ah, sorry. We'll...keep your secret "

[Kasu]

> Ask the figure for possible locations for "secret things"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I hear Tewi has an outside connection for socks"

>"Is that so?"

>"Ah, sorry. We'll...keep your secret "

>"Thanks! She gets real mad sometimes..."

> Ask the figure for possible locations for "secret things"

>"That's part of the secret. But they could probably be anywhere."

>_

[Kasu]

>"Is that so?"

>"Thanks! She gets real mad sometimes..."

>"That's part of the secret. But they could probably be anywhere."

> Bid farewell to robed figure and exit alley.
> Head for the school building.

[Hello Purvis]

> Bid farewell to robed figure and exit alley.
> Head for the school building.

>You head toward the school. You don't see any activity going on around it, and testing the door reveals that it is locked.

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>You head toward the school. You don't see any activity going on around it, and testing the door reveals that it is locked.

>Pick lock with big stick.

[Hello Purvis]

>Pick lock with big stick.

>This fails on levels you had only dreamed possible.

>_

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Attempt to use the stick to beat the door in.
>If that fails, commit arson on the door.

[Hello Purvis]

>Attempt to use the stick to beat the door in.
>If that fails, commit arson on the door.

>WHOMP! WHOMP! WHOMP! With some effort, you show that schoolhouse lock who is boss, and the door swings open.
>You have also drawn a lot of attention to yourself in the process. Someone shouts "Thief!"

>_

[UncertainJakutten]

>Explain we are not thieves, but treasure hunters! And then giggle at our joke, and actually explain we are investigating Keine's disappearance.

[Seian Verian]

>Royal Flare the entire village, since you already seem to be having a fit of insanity/stupidity

[Kasu]

> Investigate the school yard if you're not arrested first.

[Rikter]

> Blame Rumia if you are arrested

[Hello Purvis]

>Explain we are not thieves, but treasure hunters! And then giggle at our joke, and actually explain we are investigating Keine's disappearance.

>You make your explanation, but you were never one for public speaking to begin with. There is a generalized angry murmur going through the crowd. Still, for the time being, no one is doing anything like throwing stones. But you do note someone has taken off to the east. Tenshi pokes her head out of the tavern's door to see what's going on.

>Royal Flare the entire village, since you already seem to be having a fit of insanity/stupidity

>You do not have this card with you at the moment.

> Investigate the school yard if you're not arrested first.

>You decide to ignore the crowd and investigate the yard. You see nothing amiss about it; it is a bit of well-trammeled earth where various students play during off hours.

> Blame Rumia if you are arrested

>Some plan is better than no plan, after all.

>_

[Toasty]

>Throw the stick at tenshi.

[Seian Verian]

>Have Princess Undine Bury town in Lake

[Kasu]

> Leave the area to quell any suspicions, but double-back to the school through a wooded area.
> Break into and investigate school.

[Thata no Guykoro]

>After breaking into school, steal anything of value or anything that may be helpful in the future.

[Hello Purvis]

>Throw the stick at tenshi.

>You lob the Big Stick at Tenshi. But your weak girl arms are not enough to have it cross the distance, and it clatters uselessly onto the street.

>Have Princess Undine Bury town in Lake

>You contemplate doing something very untoward when you feel something smack you in the side of the head!
>Looking over, you can see Reimu coming from the east, running at full tilt and looking rather dissatisified with life in general. "Damn it!" she shouts, "It is way too hot for this shit!" Then she throws another handful of talismans in your direction.

> Leave the area to quell any suspicions, but double-back to the school through a wooded area.
> Break into and investigate school.

>It is a little late for quelling suspicions now. But you may have time to run.

>After breaking into school, steal anything of value or anything that may be helpful in the future.

>One step at a time, cowboy.
