"Nothing in this Mansion?!" my face twists into something I would be embarrassed about if I saw myself.
"Er... that's awkward. I am searching for a guy called Twain... because I invented a new magic and wanted to find a professional trainer... he must have moved. Could you please tell me where he moved? I will pay you whatever you desire if it isn't my death or something equally stupid."
Sigh why am I so unlucky?
A voice echos from the other side of the hole: ???: I can only ask this: Which Twain do you seek? ???: Where there was one, there are now many. ???: Why, I could be a Twain... you could be a Twain, given your interest. ???: so Which Twain... do you seek?
Wow, it's been two months and this game hasn't gotten very far at all in the interim.
Hello and howdy beans! It's your resident charge master back from the dead because deftg isn't getting me my dtg fix fast enough. I've read through recent events (of which very little was actually interesting or important) and have come to resume my shopkeeping. I even went back and grabbed my old credit list.
The shopkeeper sets up his stall again, and the weird box thing as well. Time for another boss. (I'll come back and fix formatting tomorrow or something.)
How this works, for people who don't remember. I charge up stuff. You can give me charge points to gain credits, and whoever has the most credits when a charge goes off gets the summon. In order to win, the person who has the most credits must have at least one tenth the charge's value stored up, or the entity will become ambivalent instead until someone can fork over half the charge's worth in points. As a note, the most credit you can lose in an auction is the amount it would cost to buy a summon had no one won the auction, if you have less than that, all credit will be subtracted.
Twain... I go and look up which Twain Joebobobob named as the Twain I search... "It was a guy named Markus Twain. That is M A R K U S, T W A I N. I search training in Founder class, which gives HP to others. I seek enough proficiency until I can rank up to Crystal-founder."
Fun fact though, with joining my auction your return in investment is almost certainly going to be above 200%, so, while I don't want anyone giving all their charge to me, it is tactically advantageous to give me some. I'll stop shilling now.
No more need for my illusory self, I dispel it. I reappear behind Perry, and re-apply a Greater Restoration.
Orders: Keep up the fight on the Eishalon!
Perry has been restored to 75% shadiamond (if you want a different amount please say so, i think this is probably the best percentage for perry) for 5 rounds.

Alright let's get down to business. Eishalon II needs to be ded.
I open the Eishalon II's mouth nice and wide. Then I dump a metric gorillaton of dice down it's throat, along with the same amount of acid. Ooo boy.
(Also Piono. You may wanna edit your sig. You stopped the memo game IPR a while ago right?)
Hello! you are indeed correct about Eishalon II. You drop so many dice on the manifest of folly that they weigh as much as a ton of Gorilla (that is, they weigh exactly a ton.)! sadly, i don't think it has a throat. it's a real shame... M. of Folly bends itself Sideways [33] Many dice, but the eishalon is a bit too lucky to get hit by them.

(OOC: Hey, welcome back, Piono! This is a very pleasant surprise! Trust me, I’ve tried to make as much progress as I can. Glad to have you back!)
I churgalize.
you give piono an energy drink, which he drinks. this drink is known as churgalize. it gives him 1 charge. .....that is to say, you charge to piono.
you charge some more! Perry attacks the Eishalon! R's of Folly catches the kick [30] the eishalon rolls equal to perrys attack, and i decide what happens in this case. random.org says it should hit in this case. 1 damage! The eishalon does another 12 damage to perry through his AC. The Radiation enforcer notes the new arrival of piono and Carleah, and promptly ignores that, instead opting to aim for Goldhero, who's already 90% shadiamond, but is not invisible, and so unlike aeisenberg and evonix, can still be affected by it. The essence of being mounted is being hard to reach from the ground. Understand this essence and no one may approach you. Except a horse. the Godmodder understands this very well. In fact, he's so good at it, and climbs so high on his high horse, that someone trying to reach him (as long as they aren't a horse) is treated as if they're outside Long eishalon-type range relative to him. while his extreme snobbery here is principally a matter of posture and attitude, it still requires an action to engage. Of course, everyone still has absolutely no clue whether he's actually on a horse. GODMODDER: Well that goes without saying. yes, but you have to be sure with these things.

Twain... I go and look up which Twain Joebobobob named as the Twain I search... "It was a guy named Markus Twain. That is M A R K U S, T W A I N. I search training in Founder class, which gives HP to others. I seek enough proficiency until I can rank up to Crystal-founder."
There is a pause. him... ???: How does your magic work. I know where he is, but not if Thee can help. Fun fact, this guy was supposed to seem a lot more mysterious, but there's no good reason for him to cut off the conversation now, so.
The shopkeeper notices that part of his stand is starting to convert into diamond, and sighs in irritation. He presses a button on the stand, and everything turns in it and around it turns invisible. Including the shopkeep. It's not like any of his potential customers won't be able to find him like this.
Oh. Let's see... "I could simply show it if you have a body. Or I could give those HP to something I summon myself... I guess that will do." I call in the favor to the eldritch abomination, which sends a whelp down (it only loaned it to me). I awaken the whelp to demonstrate the effects of my magic. "I have to touch it and now it has an universal shield against damage... which can be destroyed, quite easily to be honest. But it recharges in its sleep and grows stronger with continued use. I need some training in this, since the power to do this has potential to be much more. If you want to study the dog, be sure that you don't hurt it, it isn't really my property and will be called back tomorrow."
The dice are still rolling, bouncing around in their cup. You can feel the weight of them, bouncing around as they are, these aren't normal dice. But the kind of dice they are isn't important. The kind of roll is. And what kind of roll is it? A desperate one, made as a last gamble, to reclaim an entire casino's worth of wealth. A rigged roll, one destined in every timeline to come up snakeeyes. A watched roll, one that will be the beginning of a grand story. A special roll, one that will lead to the inevitable death of an unfortunate soul.
I figure, well, if it isn't gonna work in orbit, might as well do it as a cannon shot through a portal! I would attach a portal device at the front of the lenses, from which I can summon it via a neat spell. It would still go up in orbit to allow it to get energy from the sun, but still allow me to fire! HUZZAH!

???: So it won't work for those without bodies. ???: It's a neat trick, but... you can't help him. ???: If you are fool enough to follow me... ???: well, I hope that won't be necessary, I do not wish that on anyo- there's an outpouring of black smoke with the force of a blast as his voice cuts off, but none of it's aimed at you... you think the being left.

Ingenious. instead of a charge increase, you will be able to use the Cannon's power to augment your attacks (at the cost of the cannon not attacking itself that round). if any buffs are applied to yourself when you do so, they will extend to the portal-beam, and buffs attached to the cannon may also carry over, depending on logic.
[Piono,your chargeposts have not been quoted because i have not yet been able to think of an appropriate challenge given what I've read and guessed.]
Damn... how could I not see that I was speaking to a communication-handicapped person that can't finish its sentences which leaves me without critical data to find Markus Twain?
Maybe a smart guy like my discord avatar can tell me where twain is if this smokey guy doesn't want to tell me. I mean I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. "er... can you tell me?"
The mouth opens.. of course it does. It looks like an octopus with 6 instead of 8 tentacles, and a big head. You don't want to touch it because it is like throwing yourself into the mouth of a shark or something. Everything but its mouth is the discord avatar, and you can't even see it if the mouth is closed because the thing is basically a second layer of space over the original one. But that's just some flavor text on a shitty picture.
The octopus shrinks and grows as the mouth closes and opens to speak. "Markus Twain actually is... " (Pls Joebobobob I am not good in solving this kind of mystery. I don't have a clue about the hints you hopefully somehow gave me)

one note: from what i read, the mug man and cup guy had a ton of money, and the casino hadn't lost all its wealth either; victory would give a casino, but neither was in debt by that much.
alrighty. ...you find you have a problem: the Mugger won't be able to get their soul back before the end of the charge, more then likely. you may need to make a deal with the devil... or perhaps find a way to save them yourself. [this is probably going to be one of those ones with an over-specific answer, but I haven't been able to think of any better ones so far. if i can, i'll put them instead]
I'll put on another Greater Restoration on Perry. Gotta keep that diamond away somehow.
Orders: Moar kill of the Eishalon and Retainers.
lets see... eh, I'll just make him immune to further diamondiffication- he probably wouldn't live long enough for it to run out anyway.
the dogs that bite, the jaws that catch, the retainer finds neither as it floats away. [dog atak, no damage] Perry chitters at the Eishalon. nothing happens. the eishalon gradually becomes more and more certain it was the prelude to something terrible. then, Perry chitters again. and again. its heart would be beating really hard now, if it had one. it's scared, so scared. then perry tackles it, and falls over. the relief is so big, the Manifest doesn't even notice Perry isn't wearing their hat, which boomerangs around and hits it in the back.
M. of Folly is caught off-guard [20] M. of Folly falls over gracelessly [ 7] M. of Folly notices Perrys claws [18]
2 damage mites! The eishalon batters Perry in retatiation, 12 damage, and the retainers follow suit, the roll is 7 (bellow AC) and ends up doing 0 damage. The Enforcer fires on Goldhero, making it impossible for them to move their body or preform any spell which requires motion. The Godmodder has an idea and starts charging. 1/3 for Log

Fun fact, this guy was supposed to seem a lot more mysterious, but there's no good reason for him to cut off the conversation now, so.
The shopkeeper notices that part of his stand is starting to convert into diamond, and sighs in irritation. He presses a button on the stand, and everything turns in it and around it turns invisible. Including the shopkeep. It's not like any of his potential customers won't be able to find him like this.

Oh. Let's see...
"I could simply show it if you have a body. Or I could give those HP to something I summon myself... I guess that will do."
I call in the favor to the eldritch abomination, which sends a whelp down (it only loaned it to me). I awaken the whelp to demonstrate the effects of my magic.
"I have to touch it and now it has an universal shield against damage... which can be destroyed, quite easily to be honest. But it recharges in its sleep and grows stronger with continued use. I need some training in this, since the power to do this has potential to be much more. If you want to study the dog, be sure that you don't hurt it, it isn't really my property and will be called back tomorrow."
The dice are still rolling, bouncing around in their cup.
You can feel the weight of them, bouncing around as they are, these aren't normal dice.
But the kind of dice they are isn't important.
The kind of roll is.
And what kind of roll is it?
A desperate one, made as a last gamble, to reclaim an entire casino's worth of wealth.
A rigged roll, one destined in every timeline to come up snakeeyes.
A watched roll, one that will be the beginning of a grand story.
A special roll, one that will lead to the inevitable death of an unfortunate soul.

Excalium Orbital Cannon 14.5/20
I figure, well, if it isn't gonna work in orbit, might as well do it as a cannon shot through a portal! I would attach a portal device at the front of the lenses, from which I can summon it via a neat spell. It would still go up in orbit to allow it to get energy from the sun, but still allow me to fire! HUZZAH!
???: So it won't work for those without bodies.
???: It's a neat trick, but... you can't help him.
???: If you are fool enough to follow me...
???: well, I hope that won't be necessary, I do not wish that on anyo-
there's an outpouring of black smoke with the force of a blast as his voice cuts off, but none of it's aimed at you... you think the being left.
uh... well, the Dog's fine.
Ingenious. instead of a charge increase, you will be able to use the Cannon's power to augment your attacks (at the cost of the cannon not attacking itself that round). if any buffs are applied to yourself when you do so, they will extend to the portal-beam, and buffs attached to the cannon may also carry over, depending on logic.
[Piono,your chargeposts have not been quoted because i have not yet been able to think of an appropriate challenge given what I've read and guessed.]
Snakeeyes. The roll comes up two ones, right on the dot. As all but the ones making that final bet knew they would.
And so their fate is sealed.

Damn... how could I not see that I was speaking to a communication-handicapped person that can't finish its sentences which leaves me without critical data to find Markus Twain?
Maybe a smart guy like my discord avatar can tell me where twain is if this smokey guy doesn't want to tell me. I mean I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now.
"er... can you tell me?"
The mouth opens.. of course it does. It looks like an octopus with 6 instead of 8 tentacles, and a big head. You don't want to touch it because it is like throwing yourself into the mouth of a shark or something. Everything but its mouth is the discord avatar, and you can't even see it if the mouth is closed because the thing is basically a second layer of space over the original one. But that's just some flavor text on a shitty picture.
The octopus shrinks and grows as the mouth closes and opens to speak. "Markus Twain actually is... " (Pls Joebobobob I am not good in solving this kind of mystery. I don't have a clue about the hints you hopefully somehow gave me)
Howzabout a bit more shploding? Yeah, that sounds about right. So that's a thing that happens. Also ice snakeu.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
you are now invisible!
one note: from what i read, the mug man and cup guy had a ton of money, and the casino hadn't lost all its wealth either; victory would give a casino, but neither was in debt by that much.
alrighty.
...you find you have a problem:
the Mugger won't be able to get their soul back before the end of the charge, more then likely. you may need to make a deal with the devil... or perhaps find a way to save them yourself.
[this is probably going to be one of those ones with an over-specific answer, but I haven't been able to think of any better ones so far. if i can, i'll put them instead]
lets see... eh, I'll just make him immune to further diamondiffication- he probably wouldn't live long enough for it to run out anyway.
the dogs that bite, the jaws that catch, the retainer finds neither as it floats away. [dog atak, no damage]
Perry chitters at the Eishalon. nothing happens. the eishalon gradually becomes more and more certain it was the prelude to something terrible. then, Perry chitters again. and again. its heart would be beating really hard now, if it had one. it's scared, so scared. then perry tackles it, and falls over. the relief is so big, the Manifest doesn't even notice Perry isn't wearing their hat, which boomerangs around and hits it in the back.
