You are a treasure hunter who was robbed of a million dollars cash by a local gang. You have learned the head of the gang is in the mall, and uses the code name Kingpin. You arrived by helicopter, and your helicopter is currently on the roof with an armed guard.

Goals

1. Find the Gang Leader 'Kingpin', and kill him in revenge
2. Find the one million dollars they stole
3. Find out how to get to the helicopter.
4. Get the one million dollars (and yourself) to your helicopter

You may need help moving that much cash.
You may optionally destroy the gang headquarters if you find it.

As alluded to in thread, some players are exiting the mall by train once done. You are not required to buy a train ticket. You must leave by helicopter. The helicopter seats 3 people and you may choose to take others with you to safety if you wish.

The grenade would override any fight, and it will either damage or kill the person. They will still get given time to react in case they have abilities or items that might in someway nullify the grenade.

The tranquiliser works the same, but it will knock them out if successful. They will still be given time to react in case they have a means of avoiding it, deflecting it etc.

If someone else kills Kingpin for you, you will receive a variation to your goal. It could be something as simple as going an buying a celebratory drink, or finding his body to prove he is dead. Etc. This will change according to what happens and how it happens (Not much point in getting you to find the body, if somehow its been sent 5,000 years into the past (Not saying that could happen, I just wanted a stupidly extreme example ))


Yes, Kingpin is a code name.

[ambic]

Does the three people in the helicopter include me? So in other words, can I take 2 or 3 people with me in the heli?

This includes you. You can take up to 2 other people in the helicopter. You don't have to take your hired guard, who is on the roof, though he may tender his resignation afterwards

[ambic]

Yes, Kingpin is male

Maybe I should have made that bit harder

[ambic]

You will be able to explore the bookstand, but we have put down a 12 hour wait for any choices so I have chance to talk with Captain Meme.

All phases bar the eatery will be in new threads, so you can do stuff with a reasonable amount of privacy, but be aware some rooms have cameras.

[ambic]

Correct.

[ambic]

You arrive at the bookstand to see what they sell

The pamphlet on Pentagrams suggests that if you need to deal with ghosts or demons in a hurry, arrange five items that are identical in a pentagonal shape, and draw red lines connecting the items. It suggest if you stand in the pentagram, you can order the spirits to leave you alone, or depart. It suggests if you get the spirit to stand in the pentagram, you will destroy it.

[ambic]

You purchase the Wooden Stake. It looks like it will give you a +1 in a battle. Thats nice.

You are out of cash.

[ambic]

You can do so only through a private thread unfortunately, as if you or charlie needed to be replaced, the replacing player needs to be able to review history, and this isnt accessible in PMs or by other means unfortunately.

You would retain the private chat thread for future usage.

[ambic]

Your chat to Charlie: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87884

[ambic]

Walk over to the antique storefront and investigate

The store appears to be full of antiques. There is at least one person in there, but you can't make out if they are just a customer or a store person.

[ambic]

You check the elevator. The elevator is not currently on this floor, and the call button does not appear to be working.

[ambic]

You arrive at the Cheap Phones: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87883

[ambic]

No, this works the same as the train. Its for exit only sorry

[ambic]

I'll put it this way, you have enough helicopter fuel to get home, if you use it, you wont have enough fuel left to escape

[ambic]

It's spooky outside, anyway, Chuck!

Search around the tables in the eatery.

You find 5.00 in loose change left on one of the tables. You pocket it.

[ambic]

Theres money around the place if you look for it

[ambic]

The gelato tastes nice

[ambic]

Quentin has initiated a private chat with you : viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87900

[ambic]

I like having friends! I do not like being hunted by vampire slayers and other scary folk. This is why my whereabouts are not public.

I'm still not a vampire though please don't hunt me

Investigate pizza shop. Especially the cash register. You know, just to check on it.

I wondered how long before people checked the tills

You score a 20 dollar note.

[ambic]

It would seem Merrick from the bookstands saw you go to the till, but he isn't completely aware whether you took anything or not.

[ambic]

I took that to mean you kept the money (or at least faked putting it back ). Merrick does nothing, and just watches you walking around until he gives up and goes back to selling his books.

[ambic]

You approach the phone desk. Spiro is still there: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87883

[ambic]

Believe you me, I can cope. I have played in two of these games, and the feedback I got was that my postings in the private threads was more than the other players combined xD

These games can be a hang of a lot of fun. the more effort you put in, the more fun it gets. You havent seen the rooms yet, you are in for a great time

[ambic]

You gain a burner phone. The attendant asks you to assign a number to the phone starting 555 and 4 digits of your choice

[ambic]

Done, you own 555-7777. If someone happens to call that, they will get you

[ambic]

They ask you to describe what you currently have

[ambic]

“Send me a photo of what you have. What Im after is very specific and bi colored.”

[ambic]

Service Desk attempt 2: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87896 (Note, we ended up with 2 copies, so have moved you to the first one)

[ambic]

You buy the blue and red crystal for 1 dollar. Sarah warns you not to shake it, as the colors will mix. When you look at the crystal you realise the colors come from liquids sealed inside the crystal. The Red and Blue are separated by a very thin membrane.

[ambic]

Your phone starts ringing

[ambic]

Ash

: Hi, I'm Ash. I collect rocks, and I can tell you what you have is an average but nice looking specimen. It looks to be smaller than what I'm really after. But I'd be willing to give 100 dollars for it if you want.

[ambic]

Ash:

I will meet you in the carpark later on. I'll wait for you in the Toyota. Cheers.

(Mod note: The carpark outside is currently inaccessible, but will become accessible later. You will be able to head there in your own time)

[ambic]

You find a napkin on the floor, from where the tables used to be. Probably fell off when the table was rearranged.

[ambic]

I wondered what you were doing

[ambic]

Matthew has initiated a chat with you: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87945

[ambic]

You have now left the service desk, that was nearly 100 moves by people all at once then.... THat was chaotic

[ambic]

Chat between Harry and you: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87950

[ambic]

You have made it to phase 2: You arrive at the Travel Agency viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87963

[ambic]

The train ticket enables you to walk through the Turnstile. As a result, when room moves are made in Phase 3, you will be allowed to visit
- Train Station
- Storage Yard

As visitable destinations now.

As long as you have the ticket in your possession, these locations will be able to be visited during Even numbered phases.

[ambic]

Unfortunately You pressed Greece on the Globe, with Paul (the serial killer) present. Unfortunately this was one of Pauls traps to capture people in the mall. He had to get someone to press on a country starting with G, while alone with them in the Travel agency

A game over thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87987

[ambic]

There are very few evil people in the game, and you just happened to be alone with him

[ambic]

I'm so gutted for you, you were clearly enjoying yourself in the game too

[ambic]

Had you shaken that crystal, in your possession you would have teleported to the same place as your body ended up, but safely. You were in possession of an Alien Teleportation crystal. You were being so careful to wrap it, while I was begging you in my head to just shake it.

[ambic]

Lol, the funny thing about that: I'm Ash. I was going to make a guest appearance in my own game, and I would have paid you a LOT more than the 80 for it, had you haggled

No, you mentioned that the room was more advanced than you expected. I tried to make every room as interesting as I could.

[ambic]

I thought you played well, but you got really unlucky to be alone with an SK. I think I have learned in this game, you find 2 or 3 friends fast and you stick with them. Even if one is evil, they cant do anything easily with a witness. You declared publicly that you were going to the travel agency, so that might yet cause Paul some issues.
