The Curse of Kowhai Mall - QUENTIN MAIN THREAD-COMPLETED

[ambic]

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

As you stand in the cold outside night, you think back to that mirror you saw in the antiques store, and as you look up at an explosion in the sky, you feel as though you could have just stepped inside that mirror and ended up somewhere else. Silently, you step over to a parked car, and look at the wing mirror. You push your hand into the mirror and it seems to teleport through it. While everyone is looking at the sky, you look into the mirror and you see what appears to be a while sheet. You realise you are reaching into the Antique Store.

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 use mirrors as portals. You can teleport through mirrors at the cost of 2 mana. If you have marked a mirror in some way, you can return to it directly. Or if a mirror is unmarked you can try a diceroll to see where you end up. You can only use mirrors that you can a) Fit through and b) Have found (Cant get to places you dont know about). If a mirror becomes broken it can no longer be used.

You do not know of any way to restore Mana once spent.

Define “have found.” Is seeing it enough?
Does the dice roll allow me to access mirrors I have not found?
What do I need to do to mark a mirror?
Can I do a temporary partial teleport like I just did with my hand? Does it cost mana?
If I try to teleport to a mirror that is broken do I still lose the mana?

[ambic]

If you have touched it.
Dice roll - No to ones you havent been to.
Something to mark the mirror. Eg Lipstick, a sharp compass, paint.
Temporary partial - NO it was flavour text to you an idea
No, you wont lose mana if that happens.

You sure you arent a lawyer

[groza529]

Can I mark multiple mirrors or only one at a time?
Does the marking have to be on the mirror itself? The frame? The wall beside it?
Do large picture windows that reflect well under proper lighting count as mirrors? What about particularly reflective metal surfaces?
Were we in the carpark for the meteor shower?

[ambic]

The glass, and yes you can mark as many as you want
Mirrors only
No, you were on the road next to the carpark

[groza529]

Can I get a chat with Harry, and also one with Victoria?

Grotto: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88032

[groza529]

Are the scorch marks in the grotto from where I teleported in?
What color are the broken crystals (as though I need to ask?)

[groza529]

Also, if it's not too much to ask, can I get my Charlie, Victoria, and *cough* Harry chats added to the list in post 1?

[groza529]

When I'm examining Santa's seat, look *under* it

[ambic]

Scorch marks: They are exactly under where you arrived.
There's nothing under Santas seat.
The crystals are blue and red.
They are already in your post 1?

Seems I didnt past the Harry one here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88046

[groza529]

Huh. I could have sworn I only saw the first four.

[groza529]

Do I remember the crystals as being related to my entrance? Were they there when I arrived?

[ambic]

Yes, the crystals seem related. Though you can't quite tell how

[groza529]

I suppose I ought to

Go to the Carpark (second choice, Legerdemain?)

[ambic]

ok

[groza529]

While I'm jogging, when I get close to the Tesla, look in the wing mirrors and try to see the other players. Stop for a "breath" around there if I need to.

[ambic]

From where the car is, you look in the mirrors and you can see the Service Desk, the phones and the eatery area. Of everyone in those areas, the ONLY person that doesn't reflect is Sarah. For the people at the grotto and the bookstand, they are too far away to tell.

[groza529]

I hate to ask this, but can you clarify who I have seen reflected and who I haven't?

[ambic]

You could clearly see that Sarah was missing. You arent sure exactly who was where.

[groza529]

Ok. Well vampires aren’t my thing as much; I just want to protect my mirrors. But I’ll leave it at that.

The Tesla is empty and spotlessly clean, and smells strongly of bleach. Neither the boot nor the hood contain anything unusual (I don't own a Tesla so I have no clue where the engine is, but there's nothing amiss in there )

You have entered the Carpark: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88069
