 There was once a shoemaker, who worked very hard and was very honest. But still, he could not earn enough to live upon, and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just enough leather to make one pair of shoes. Then he cut his leather out, all ready to make up the next day, meaning to rise early in the morning to his work.  Thankfully, he has an attractive, intelligent, powerful sorcerer for a brother. Yeah that’s me, Gottfried. My brother Rodrick has seen me through hard times, supported my studies at wizard school, and now, he’s asked for my help. Yeah, I could just give him the money he needs to pay off his rent, but I’m not a bank, I’m a sorcerer. I can cast spells, bend reality to my will! I’m a sorcerer! Did I mention? Well it’s true. Ok, maybe I’m technically a journeyman of sorcery but it’s practically the same thing. Ok I’m almost a journeyman, but it’s just a paperwork delay.  Anyway, yeah, fixing his problem. Well, in the old days, it would be a matter of putting some elves on the problem, but for some reason the elf population has really plummeted. I need something like an elf. A little worker thing who could work for him, make shoes and junk.  Aha! Perfect! IMPS! They are bound to follow your requests, do exactly what you tell them to, right? They can only appear at night, which is perfect, a lovely surprise for Rodrick when he wakes up. Beware sorcerer, imps are creatures of hellish law, and are bound to follow your word precisely. Be careful in your phrasing, lest they twist your words and cause mischief. Please consult the below list of precise wordings to ensure… Perfect, they do precisely what you want! Now, to arrange the candles… And draw the sigils… A drop of blood…  Pow!  An imp, but I need more! Pow! Pow! Pow! OK imps, My brother’s rent is due by the end of the week, make sure he doesn’t have any problems paying it. That should be precise enough, right? Now off you go.

Welcome imps! You have been summoned by the foolish sorcerer Gottfried, bound to the task; My brother’s rent is due by the end of the week, make sure he doesn’t have any problems paying it. Rent is due next week! Each night until rent is due, you are free to do what you will as long as your binding terms are upheld. A clever sorcerer makes these bindings clear and precise, but you are lucky enough to be bound with a pretty vague task. First things first, name your imp! Next, pick a distinguishing feature! This can be any visual thing that distinguishes your imp from the other impish rabble. Lastly, pick your imp’s domain. Each imp has a unique domain in which its abilities manifest. There are no generic imps, (correction, there is precisely one Generic imp.) Pick one word to represent your imp’s power. You can’t have the same as anyone else. For example, Suzy the Moon imp might have lots of teeth, while Greg the Shoe imp might have a fancy hat.  [timg]https://i.imgur.com/SmuC1VN.png[/url][/timg]Once you post your imp’s details, I’ll add your imp picture to this post. --- Each night, you will be left to your own devices. You can do as you please as long as you work directly or indirectly towards your summoned task - My brother’s rent is due by the end of the week, make sure he doesn’t have any problems paying it. When you perform an action, roll a d10. If it is in line with your chosen domain, As a rough guide, rolls of 5 or less will negatively affect current tasks. Rolls of 6 or greater will positively affect them. Rolls of -2 and 13 trigger special effects the following night! Currently active: Current night 1/7 After the 7th night, rent is due, and the game ends. Cash 0/20. Rodrick needs 20 silver to pay his rent by the end of the week. He will also spend it to get shoemaking materials (unless they can be obtained some other way). Shoes 0 Shoes will be sold during the day for cash. Materials 1/1 (prepared/total). You need 1 set of materials per shoe, but materials need to be prepared before shoes are manufactured. If there are no materials, Rodrick will go out and buy more. If there are materials, he will prepare them during the day instead of selling shoes. If there are prepared materials, he will make shoes instead of preparing materials or selling. To add another task, just start working towards it, and it will be added to the list next morning. Some tasks may add additional requirements if they are extra complex or risky. A description of the task will appear the first time it is added to the list. Some tasks are capped at 0/20, while others can go above/below these numbers. For example, building a shoemaking machine would complete at 20, but could drop below 0, actively impeding progress. On the other hand, you cannot have a negative quantity of shoes without weird magic, but making more than 20 is definitely possible. Example: Greg the shoe imp wants to build a new house/shoe shop for the shoemaker. This has nothing to do with shoes, and so he rolls d10-3. build a new house: 1d10-3 5 Meanwhile, Suzy the moon imp sets a werewolf on the landlord. This is moon related, so she rolls d10+3. Set a werewolf on the landlord: 1d10+3 7. The next morning, three tasks appear on the progress bar. The next night, imps can continue to work towards completing these tasks, or they can start new ones. Build new house. ?/35 Murder landlord ?/10 Cover up involvement in murder 0/20 Other Notes: No pressure to post, drop in and out. Planning on updating twice a week Tuesday and Friday. Rolls done in orokos. Remember, you can click on the bbcode link in orokos beneath your roll, you get a copy/pasteable link you can paste in the forums. Campaign name Shoemaker will be used in orokos. Current Imp list!                           Will draw more imps with the new distinguishing features and add them here as needed, or check out the GIMP template here WereGoat fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Apr 22, 2018 |

Ted the Accountancy imp has a sensible vest. Ted took one look at the shoemaker's shop and could tell why the man wasn't able to make rent: poor management. The place had the same look the dread offices of Pandemonium had before the great Bal'gruz the Auditor, Balancer of the Book of the Damned came in and cleaned things up.

Torb the Sorcery Imp cackled with glee as it was summoned, and its horns arced with lightning. Ooooh, mages were so fun to play with! They were so reckless and daring and stupid. It would take a practiced hand to help this novice summon imps that were more powerful in their work. He got to work, rewriting some of the runes and making the mana more efficient. Gottfried would be so happy that Torb was summoned. Oh yes! I mean, it didn't really help out the shoemaker directly, but it was more fun and just helpful enough it counted!

 Winky the Cleaning Imp is shiny and well-polished, with a speck of dust eternally stuck in his eye. Winky was gallivanting through the nether-realm on his way to work when he was plucked through a fiendish sorcerer's summoning portal! Dirty, dirty, this human hovel he'd been brought to was so dirty! Everything in the little shoemaker's storefront was covered in a thick layer of dust and grime - no wonder no one was coming in to buy any shoes! All it needed was a good cleaning before the night was through, and then business would pick up! Got to make everything spic and span for the Tidy Up the Storefront: 1d10+3 4

He could tell with a glance that they didn't have nearly enough materials for... whatever it was that they were supposed to be doing. He hadn't really paid attention.

Night 1/7 Gottfried looks at the 19 imps he summoned and bound. "uuuh, that's an awful lot of imps, how much hand-blood did I lose? Gottfried's mana drops from 10/20 to -9/20 Manaburn! Gottfried takes 9 hp dmg! Gottfried's temporary hp is lost! 4 spillover damage! I need to sit down. Uuugh. What're you all looking at? Get on with it before I banish you back to hell. Shoo! My every movement is powered by arcane might!" Gottfried vomits into a bucket. "Did I do the bloodletting wrong or something? Let me check my notes..." Pawing at his grimoire, getting the cover all bloody, Gottfried tries to finish the chapter on summoning rituals before passing out on top of it. Perfect! Two imps leap immediately into action. Cheese bounds forward with his grabbing hands, stealing the very valuable bucket of vomit from underneath the sorcerors nose! Sparx gives him a high five as he nabs Gottfried's cutlery and plates, seem to be copper or something? Whatever, they can sell this lot easy!  The rest of the imps moved on to the workshop, drawn to it's location by their magic bindings. A few stop outside, one imp looking about for the landlord's home. Where is it? After gazing up and down the street for many hours, Omp determines that the landlord wasn't here, valuable intel. Meanwhile, Prole and Erator team up to take on the locals. Prole approaches the night owls, up late drinking or on their way back home, and whispers to them them "have you considered the benefits of tenancy unions, comrade". This goes down very well, and half the group go to bed dreaming of uniting together against the oppressive landlords. The ones that were less interested were the selfish ones. The well off ones, who were too good for that union rabble. Well, how best to prove their wealth than a nice new pair of shiny shoes. "I just bought shoes though... Shoes. Shoes. Yes, that sounds lovely actually! Take these, I don't need them anymore! Order more in the morning! Shoes!" You are certain there will be advanced orders, and hey, you got a pair of shoes out of it!  With the imps assembles, Torb and Flux took the opportunity to boost them with arcane powers. Twisting time started off OK, the groundword for the time-cube was well underway, runes scratched into the floor and walls. Then it's just a little hell-juice from Torb, no worries. But this isn't quite in line with it's binding terms, and the energy seeps out of the imps. Draining! If it wasn't for Bloodkaiser leaking deathly energies that could have went quite badly! Speaking of which- across town- Conrad the shoemaker comes down with a strange illness, like he has been touched by death itself... Excellent news!  Into the workshop! A fold in space and '*pop*'. A cow appears in the workshop ridden by Stallone. This sets the other imps giggling as they get to work. Pyros uses the tools for nefarious purposes, creating some perfectly forged coins only for Midas to sneak up behind him and transmutate the tools to gold! Sneaky! This makes Hat's work for the He wasn't alone in looking at papers, Brug meticulously went through the sales information to find ways to show the rent had already been partially paid off. There seemed to be more than he expected... Ah right, Ted was making sure the workshop conformed to ISO-666 standards and filling everything out in decuplet. Good imp! In popped Dalton with a pile of junk. There was... Actually a good amount of usable leather here! Winky was not pleased, dumping all this rubbinsh on their nice clean workshop! Trash it! Thankfully, Skippo was there to grab the actually useful pieces out before they were incinerated in hellfire.  Morning was almost upon them. The imps felt themselves fading... Molly finished stuffing amphetamines in the bottle she was holding just as she winked out of existence. --- Rodrick awoke as the first lick of sunshine shone into his bedroom. He turned to- no leave her to sleep a little longer- he got out of bed and heard a strange noise. Mooing? He walked through to his daughter's room "Lotti?" Waking up. "Stay here". He crept down the narrow stairway as quietly as he could, before being confronted with- "Mooooooo" the cow took up the majority of the workspace. He inched past it, confused, only to find a stack of coins neatly on his workbench. His material bins were full of leather, and his shelf had a completed pair of shoes sitting, waiting to be sold. Tears filled his eyes, as he smiled in wonder and confusion. *slam* A shoeless man stood before him. "Shoes! New shoes!" The man slams down a pile of coins. "Preorder shoes! You know my feet! Make them!" "Stop yelling Hans, didn't I make you shoes last week? What-" "I think I would remember that." Hans pivots and leaves. Rodrick shakes his head confused, and sits at his workbench. He was sure that... Rodrick freezes, and picks up his awl. Solid gold. "Hey bro" Gottfried leans in from the doorway. "Nice cow" "You-did you, was it" "I just wanted to let you know that I got your message and this guy" *points to self with thumbs* "has got it covered. That's right, sorcerer supreme has saved your stupid shoe shop. You owe me big though, bro, bigtime." He lurches away, looking a little unsteady on his feet. Rodrick states into the middle distance for a while. He picks up a mug of water unthinking and downs it. His eyes grow wide. shoemaker makes shoes- failure- no tools! Shoemaker takes cow to leatherworks- material obtained! Shoemaker buys tools - 5silver spent! Shoemaker trembles slightly! Shoemaker is euphoric!

This is more wealth than the shoemaker has ever seen, and is more than enough to pay his rent many times over. However, it is VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Brug popped back into the world ready to edit the rest of the receipts but stopped to look at Slick's fake insurance papers. Wait a minute... yes! Any "extra money" Rodrick paid in the past could be explained as him paying into the landlord's insurance premium in order to compensate for any goods, tools or time lost should something happen to the building. Brug got to work faking a note from the landlord. quote:To Rodrick, There, now all Brug needed to do was find the landlord and make sure everything looked like it was on the up and up.

 Strange. Hat was sure she'd made quite a few hats last night. No sign of them now, and no mention in the Shoemaker's sales journal. Had they sold? EDIT: Wait, there they were, on the top shelf. It made a certain kind of sense, keeping them on display but on a mildly discreet shelf lets the regulars know what's up without distracting new customers from the shop's chief purpose. Still, this left the matter of the Shoemaker himself. Perhaps she was barking up the wrong tree; if his skillcore was in Cobbling, then there was no point in fighting it. She could at least tidy up and prepare the workspace, using her hat-making skills and knowledge to arrange the tools in what she thought would be a more effective order.

Bloodkaiser teleported behind Gottfried's back. He didn't notice. 'Pshhhh......... weak. If u can't handle hell so it will be. But then someone else'll pay the price..................." The imp brought the sorceror's pet the rat that lived beneath the floorboards to the summoning circle. He drew his sword, the Wytch'edge Darkflame Zanpakutou which had fifteen blades and fire burning aat absolute zero and gems made of souls and fire and earth and wind and water and the fifth element only he could use that's why it could kill demons and angels and gods. It could only be wielded by those with both the powers of heaven and hell but Bloodkaiser was half seraphhim and also half Astral Guardian (that's why his second name is Voidray Chosenone).. Bloodkaiser stared down the rat. "you're world........................ is finisshed  " The very moment Bloodkaiser struck the rat with his blade it broke in half again, good thing Torb was there with an actual knife.Sacrifice critters to help blood sacrifice: 1d10+3 9

 (technically he should be the Illusion Imp but whatever) "Hmm", Pyros muttered as he stared at the pile of illusionary coins - or rather, the empty space left coins that Prole had run off with to start some kind of communist revolution. A pity the shoemaker was an honest man, they were usually a lot harder to find than this. Yet the sorcerer's binding compelled him to continue helping with the rent, so he looked around the place trying to think of some ideas. It was a well-kept place, but could use some sprucing up to get a better clien - Just as Pyros was about to finish his thought, three imps ran by screaming about a "robbing party". And then the robbing party was four. Using his illusionary powers to cover the burglar team: 1d10+3 10

 Why bad? Shoeman did the drugs...So why bad? It didn't make sense until Molly really looked at the human's idiot face with his tiny, useless eyes. Understanding jittered through Molly's mind like a squirrel over high-tension wires. Humans were stupid and bad at doing things, else they wouldn't need imps. The imp, prying a loose nail out of a table with her teeth, grasped the bent piece of iron and hastily carved a simple credo in the Shoemaker's headboard; something even an idiot human bean could comprehend.  Perfect. Then, to leave no room for error, Molly snorted a couple of ground-up trucker souls off the Shoeman's shaving mirror, and grinning like an electrocuted corpse, descended into a wide-eyed frenzy of table-nudging, bench-sorting, paper-stacking workflow enhancement. INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY!: 1d10+3 6

 Stallone was pretty pleased with himself. Operation Cow had been a resounding success. Sure, the cow hadn't been turned into shoes *yet*, but it was leather now, and that was pretty good! He knew, though, that there was a lot more that needed doing than that, especially with everyone carrying on with different plans. It was all moving in the same general direction, sure, but otherwise it was pure chaos. Which was wonderful! But when you were driving cows for hundreds of miles, you learned to take the long view of things. Not that Stallone had actually done that--he was the Rodeo Imp, not the cattle drive imp, after all. But he was cattle drive adjacent, and that was good enough. No, Stallone knew that if they wanted to keep this good thing going, they would need to take some additional steps to make sure that Gottfried didn't start getting any strange ideas about "the job is complete", or "this has gone too far" or "maybe it's time to dismiss all of these imps that I've summoned and entrusted with a broadly-specified task". Stallone was not the imp to convince Gottfried. Fortunately, you don't need to bother convincing anyone of anything when you've got them hog-tied in the basement, and that was right in Stallone's wheelhouse. Evidently this line of thinking pleased somebody down below, because a cowboy hat popped into existence on his head. How much more of a sign could you possibly need to tell you that what you're doing is a good idea? Lasso Gottfried: 1d10+3 13

 As Slick begins his setup for the insurance scam, he decides that he should perhaps the fine print isn't fine enough, and summons up a Fine Monocle to better scribe the tiniest of text. Next up, he needs to deal with that landlord problem... and it'd be harder to manipulate him if he didn't know where he was! Thus, he decides to inquire among the urchins and beggars and other low-lifes in order to locate that landlord! Low Life Information Hunt: 1d10+3 7

Midas the Transmutation Imp Hm, the shoemaker couldn't spend the nice gold coins because it would be suspicious and none of his customers ever paid this much? Time to spruce up his storefront to have some more class to attract richer clients! And what's the classiest look? Gold of course! Turn the storefront

 Flux had noted with some dismay that this plane was reluctant to play along, having anchored the concepts of time and space together in the most mundane and boring way possible. Well, fine! If he had to play by the rules, he would play by the rules hard. It was said in realms like these that the faster you went, the slower time would be, so naturally the best way to go about things would be to slow down time considerably for the Shoemaker. It made perfect sense! Time dialation to give the Shoemaker Bullet Shoe Time: 1d10+3 10

So, Omp the Curious Imp thought to himself, the landlord isn't in the street.. He appears to be hiding. And when you hide, Omp reasoned, you must hide UNDER something. How else will you be hidden? It's not like humans just fade away at night like imps do during the day. Therefore.. since the landlord is not in the street, he must be hiding under it! Omp immediately began looking for a way into the sewers. Maybe there would be other things hidden down there as well? Searching the sewers for the landlord... and other things: 1d10+3 11
