The Curse of Kowhai Mall - PAUL MAIN THREAD- COMPLETED

[ambic]

The Curse of Kowhai Mall

Role:

Paul

Player:

Porochaz

You are an alien, disguised as Paul the Human, whose spacecraft was nicely parked in the carpark. Mall security moved it to another location without your permission. As annoying as that is, you are still in need of acquiring nice human specimens to take back home for 'research'.

Goals

1. Find where your UFO is
2. Find a source of power for your UFO (You were a bit low on fuel when you arrived on Earth)
3. Capture 4 living humans

To help you capture 4 living humans, you have rigged some teleportation crystals up around the mall. They will activate if you can get anyone to do any of the following:
1. Get someone to press a country starting with G on the Interactive globe in the TRAVEL AGENCY.
2. Get someone to sit in the confessional in the CHAPEL, with you in the priest seat.
3. Get someone to drink from the BROWN TRIANGULAR bottle on Shelf 5 of the APOTHECARY.
4. Get someone to climb into the tunnel in the LAST DRYER in the LAUNDROMAT. You must shut them in and turn it on for it to work
If you find more teleportation crystals, you may be able to rig your own traps.
If you witness someone teleporting via other means, you may be be able to interfere with that process.
Each crystal can only be used once.

If you are unable to capture people by the traps, you can lure them to your UFO and knock them out. Or knock them out first. Heck, you may even be able to get them to climb into the Life Support Systems on board the ufo.

Once you have 4 living humans on board, fly your craft home. This will severely damage the mall in the process, but, hey, you dont care.

[Porochaz]

Jeez this is going to be a tough one, but I'm up for it.

[ambic]

Great

Huh, didnt you have a simlar role in Rata. I didnt even realise that till just this moment . You got the role because the characters name happened to be Paul

[Porochaz]

A wee bit yeah, this seems harder though. Do I know what my fuel looks like?

[Porochaz]

If 2 people sit in the confessional that aren't me, what happens?

[Porochaz]

For the kebab shop was there anything I could take, like a sharp metal skewer, just as a for instance?

There are a number of viable sources of power in the mall. If you see something that looks viable, ask about it.

[ambic]

If 2 people sit in the confessional that aren't me, what happens?

Nothing will happen.

[ambic]

For the kebab shop was there anything I could take, like a sharp metal skewer, just as a for instance?

I dont think there was anything but I will double check the inventory for that room shortly and let you know

[ambic]

The Pinball Machine costs 1 dollar to play, and has a dollars worth of quarters in the coin return slot, which you take.
The Madam Seer costs 5 dollars to use, and does not have any money that you can see.

[ambic]

investigate the chinese stand for anything useful, then investigate the space between the treasure store and stairs - see whether the steps going up or downstairs.

There is a wok here. It looks decent.

[Porochaz]

ok, I will take it.

[ambic]

The wok will make a good shield. It gives you +1 to your defence, if used as a shield. It's probably too flimsy to stop other weapons, but should give you some help in hand-to-hand combat.

[Porochaz]

Cool, thanks!

[ambic]

You approach the bookstand: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=87899

You can talk to Merrick there.

[Porochaz]

That poster about crystals, are they the transportation crystals? And if so do I know the number listed?

[ambic]

You arent sure who the number is, but they certainly appear to be looking for teleportation crystals. Could be a coincidence

[Porochaz]

I'll hang round the bookshelf when others move away I want to take the poster. I assume merrick won't mind?

[Porochaz]

I want to do it stealthily.

[ambic]

You either have to wait for Quentin to leave or do it in front of him. As long as he is there you cant do it stealthily

[ambic]

You might be able to disguise your action say by buying some thing else or making Merrick chase him off in some way

[Porochaz]

Nah I'll wait until he goes. Then do it.

[Porochaz]

Alright I'll take it now.

[CaptainMeme]

Alright I'll take it now.

Just finished processing actions from earlier; there is now another person in the bookstore (Charlie). Do you still want to do this?
