Check the ice(?) slide between Icy Lake and Under the Ice. Since that's close to Under the Ice, might as well check there too.

...The RePossessors. Morally bankrupt, tax-collecting laypeople who wish to bankrupt Gadd and stop his operations at the Complex, subsuming his immense wealth and collection of objects through any means necessary.

Gadd's spent years trying to evade these guys... haha nice.

He even gave me safety protocols related to unannounced visitors at his doorstep...

Coral... how were you invited in, undetected?

May have slipped one of them an invite for fun after I put Gadd on ice. Y'know, for a bit of chaos and destruction. Corals been chatting me up every night, so I chose well!

Fiend!

Not my businessmen, not my circus, as they say. While this hoard of treasure Gadd was sitting on gets covered in dust, I'm gonna split the difference and demolish this building when I get my hands on those shards. There's this... feeling... that something's holding me back here. My power. My sick moves. Maybe I've grown too sentimental, so I'm gonna beat it out of this building one way or another.

But it seems one of their recruits has already done a fine job already!! The auditor herself hired a very useful lackey slash contractor. Ain't that right, Atmey?

The demon summoner himself was in on it? ...I have many grudges to consider, tonight.

The more damage you guys caused, the more people dropped dead, the more they collected insurance payouts, and now it seems they've made enough moolah to bribe me to let them out of this game. They wanted you to die! It gave them more cash.

There were even some "priceless" artifacts Gadd had laying around, like that painting lover boy over there tried to bury. Completely worthless now, of course.

They're gonna try and get away tonight, and I'll let them, but I'll sweeten the deal for the rest of you since we're nearing the end now. Details below.

...below where, boss?​

Code: ABSINTHE
As a Slime Wraith, you possess a fragment of the elemental demonic spirit P████a's power, granting you minor resonance with the element of Slime.

Abilities - Slime Wraith EX

• You can produce small balls of sticky green slime on command, these can be thrown, and explode on blunt contact, releasing a burst of elemental slime which absorbs and neutralizes other elements.
• Once per night, you can imbue yourself with a momentary burst of sticky defense, allowing you to stick to walls and become immovable.
• You can only move in the Paranormal Dimension. You can have objects move with you in the Paranormal Dimension so long as you maintain contact with them. Please toggle the floor maps in the OP of this thread for more information.
• You can turn invisible to mortals on command, but this invisibility is limited to a few minutes at a time. You will always be visible to other entities in the Paranormal Dimension, and under Darklight.
• You cannot kill. You may accomplice with a living player. Only one accomplice may exist per case.
• You are weak to all standard ghost weaknesses in this universe, and a combined attack from all three elements: Fire, Water, and Ice.

Click to expand...

• Can only move in the Paranormal Dimension.
• Can move objects with them in the Paranormal Dimension (i.e. through walls), so long as they maintain contact.
• Are completely invisible, except under darklight, and to other players in the Paranormal Dimension.

Earlier...

Luke Atmey, as one final action before the day ends, takes the RPG from Under the Ice, points it at the seemingly featureless metal wall towards the west of the Dark Lab, and fires. With a click, and a flash, the rocket launches and collides with the wall head on, exploding it into shrapnel and blasting a hole into a new room.

Within, the Dungeon Cells beckon. Multiple cages made of brick, mortar, and cast iron bars span the walls, with chains and moss aplenty laying around. A Z-Gate sits in one of the dungeon cells, and a spiky plant with multiple eye shaped red flowers is blossoming in another. On the furthest wall, locked behind a cell of its own...

A lone, faded portrait. The apparent person within is unrecognizable.​

​

...well clear out of here. Besides that weird weed growing in the corner, I'm not sure what that idiot scientist was thinking hanging up a blank painting like that. And, that recording was prior to me whupping his ass. He couldn't handle my strength, his spirit and body vanished for good, and you all payed the price.

Literally! I think each one of you was insured for 5,000,000g. I was never good with numbers.

Lets get on with the real show, shall we? Lupin's grand execution! Tanner, my good man?

...wait, Gadd said what!?

Ultimate Elemental Exorcist

A wanderer from a land of the mysterious, the land of love triangles, or the land of thirds... whatever suitable explanation fits your apparent obsession with elemental magic that comes in groups of threes. That's why you're here. "3" forms the basis of your Ghost Power, and secret career as an elemental exorcist-slash-shrine-maiden. At the GHOST Complex, and in the land of ghosts, there are only three elements, the Tria Paranorma: the elements of Fire, Ice, and Water.

---

Abilities - Ultimate Elemental Exorcist

• You're capable of inscribing special talismans that embody the three elements, and can buff, stun or banish ghosts with enough in your possession.
• Choose the form your talismans take, either paper, wood, or some other medium and appearance you arrange with the hosts. You start with three talismans of your choice, and can craft up to three each night. You can only have a maximum of nine (three-by-three) talismans at once.
• Other players can use your talismans if you give them away, but you're the only one capable of crafting them. Talisman types are as follows.
  • Fire: The talisman will ignite a short while after being placed, akin to a match flame.
  • Fire Resistance: While held, the talisman will give a player heat resistance, and immunity to being set on fire or exploded for one night.
  • Water: When placed, the talisman will immediately leak water, waterlogging the object its placed on. This can keep plants hydrated, destroy electronics, or fill small containers with water.
  • Water Resistance: The talisman will give a player immunity to being suffocated, drowned, or poisoned for that night.
  • Ice: The talisman will freeze a short while after being placed, which will also turn the object or surface its attached to ice cold.
  • Ice Resistance: The talisman will give cold resistance, and immunity to being frozen or knocked out "cold" for one night.
• Ghostly interactions:
  • You can seal Wraiths or Demonic Ghosts by using three talismans of their weakness (Fire > Ice > Water > Fire). This will knock them out temporarily and delay their night slightly. You can use nine talismans of the same elemental type to banish them entirely, ending their night then and there.
  • Applying a talisman of each element to anything invisible will force it to be permanently visible, even outside of darklight. This will neutralise all of the applied talismans powers.
  • Conversely, you can buff wraiths by sticking three talismans corresponding to their element on their body. This will buff their wraith power for that night.
  • To assist with ensuring you have enough talismans to buff, or banish, a ghost, during a wraith voting phase, you can personally select the powerset a wraith will obtain the next night, from Fire, Ice, or Water. You may only do this once.
• Weaknesses: Aside from your forbidden action below, crafting talismans can't occur in a pinch, requires a period of focus, and you must source materials suited to your talisman's type. Paper talismans require paper, wooden talismans require wood, etc. Losing your concentration while crafting talismans may result in you failing to craft your desired amount.
• Forbidden Action: If someone sticks three talismans on your body, regardless of type, you will die. To play by the talisman means to die by the talisman, and the rule of threes spells your personal end.

You'll need to climb it to get higher or lower. The beanstalk terminates at the Tree Tops, where you find a small treehouse filled with old furniture.
• Crow's Nest: A thin, rickety bridge that spans the exhibits of the second floor. It's only wide enough for one person to cross at a time. The east bridge has been torched, and is still usable, but could break easily with a good enough impact.

• Kitchen: What used to be a functional kitchen has thoroughly flooded. All ovens and stovetops are unusable. Officially the most dangerous room in the facility. It seems the slimy beast has escaped the dumbwaiter.
• Smokehouse: A small room equipped to smoke meat for long-term effect. A flue in the ceiling ensures it won't fill up with smoke.
• Space Exhibit: An exhibit on the history of space travel. The exhibit is in shambles.

• Armory: Several fancy suits of armor from various countries have been placed on display here... along with all their weapons.
• Terminal: A room with several computer screens showing various aspects of the mansion, as well as a set of high wires that you can ride down to the exterior first floor. You can't ride them back up, though! Not using the wires to descend would be ill-advised.

• Darkness Laboratory: A humming laboratory with dim lightning. Odd devices sit around the room, and strange globs of energy are visible within sealed containers. [Ghost Roles have a special affinity for this room.]
• Crystal Quarry: A large room with several small crystals placed around a single huge one in the center. The huge crystal is opaque. A large, icy plant has been planted here. It hums softly. Its roots spread across the mansion, touching each room from the same origin as this one.
• Dungeon Cells: Multiple cages made of brick, mortar, and cast iron bars span the walls, with chains and moss aplenty laying around. A Z-Gate sits in one of the dungeon cells, and a spiky plant with multiple eye shaped red flowers is blossoming in another. On the furthest wall, locked behind a cell of its own... A lone, faded portrait. The apparent person within is unrecognizable.
• Shaft: A three-floor mining elevator now integrated into the main Complex.

• Sewer: A room with water channels in two directions - one flows into a storage tank for the building to use, and the other moves wastewater out of the Complex.
• Maintenance Hub: A room that holds a handcart, as well as various supplies for maintenance such as hammers, nails, or janitorial supplies.

• Crypt: An underground crypt. Some sealed coffins lie in state within the room. All of the coffins have been opened. One of the skulls has a Pixilator, which connects to the mausoleum in the Graveyard.
• Basin: A room with a completely frozen floor. The ice here is polished to a mirror finish.
• Haunted Catacombs: A maze-like room with more passages than should be possible. It's very easy to get lost here.
• Tomb: An ancient tomb of unknown make. A single massive sarcophagus sits in the middle of the room, with mysterious markings all over the walls. The door of the sarcophagus has been gnawed at.

• Roundhouse: The central hub of the minecart tracks that run throughout the Basement. Several minecarts can be found here, as well as various minecart and track controls.
• Guard Tunnel: A linear tunnel flanked by suits of armor on both sides. Approaching them causes them to automatically force you back.
• Prospector's Crossing: A small, frozen room. The ice that covers the entire middle of the room looks... concerningly precarious.
• Ceremonial Chamber: A huge throne sits in the center of this room, radiating power and authority. A banner with an unknown symbol hangs on the wall behind it.

"Immoral"? Really? You're defending an irresponsible man whose "genius" was nothing but a safety hazard. He's the cause of this whole mess. His experiments, this facility, they're all so dangerous that one of his closest workers needed to have a revival protocol in place for if she died. We RePosessors don't have one of those!

Your captor and his want for a Killing Game is clearly the result of his actions. And you're calling me immoral?

...I should've known a direct invite from Gadd was too good to be true, and this was all a big trick. But at least the blockhead finally let me in to do my job. I won't say sorry for that.

Anyway, there's still a few hours before the helicopter arrives, so let's consider this a last act of good grace for everyone. How's one more damage report sound? You all really exceeded expectations for our fourth night together.​

• There is an absolute wreckage at the bottom of the Cliffs. This includes a rolling cart, tools, and a tarp, courtesy of yours truly. However, the greatest expense is undoubtedly the large forklift, likely worth 50000 G.
• The horrid fish slime... thing has finally been put to rest, which will come at its own cost due to Gadd's investments into creating it. The destruction of any of the Gaddgets would result in an insurance payout.
• Both the train in the Train Exhibit and the plane in the Aviation Exhibit were loosened from their tracks and caused an anticipatory amount of damage to their respective rooms. Reconstruction efforts would total in the hundreds of thousands.
• Despite fixing the hole in the 2F West Hallway, a new one has been made in the East Hallway. Takes me back to our first night together, when I pointed out how you should avoid it as an occupational hazard. Now that the curtain's been lifted... would anyone want to test the fall height?
• The power surge and subsequent outage from the lightning strike will have caused damage to the electrical infrastructure of the whole facility. Though it is currently running fine, I would expect greater problems to make themselves known this upcoming night. For now, only the Clock Tower is truly affected.
• The Coatroom has been burnt to a crisp, including several expensive costumes and pieces of threaded memorabilia therein. Professional designers would have to be hired to adequately replace everything that was lost.
• Not only are both Galleries still wrecked, but the priceless portrait within has been broken, meaning that there's another million dollar deficit on the artwork in this place. The broken portrait has been left outside, rather unceremoniously.
• The West Wall of the Dark Lab is now blasted open, revealing the Dungeons behind it. Still, stone and mortar like that costs a pretty penny to install in the first place.
• And though this doesn't apply to those within the walls of the facility... With her "removal", Knightley's assets are now entirely up for grabs. We'll keep this in mind during our next field assignments.

That about covers it. Whatever happens to this place is in your hands now. Promise you'll make it look extra pretty? Personally, I think this building would look best razed flat.

Oh, but... I'll give you a last nugget of info I learned recently. According to our insurance payouts... the Sun Stone is worthless. If you want out of here in one piece, don't be fooled and gather the Shards instead.

Or do get fooled. I just need someone alive to give me a line and let me know what I should mark on the final incident report.​

Alas, the dawn breaks. My hunt... was unsuccessful. Sir Thanos, I commend your efforts in attempting to stop them, but it seems they were just too... what's the term... loaded.

Brings a tear to my eye, it really does. But they weren't the only ones who've gone missing tonight.

This one's gonna be REAL interesting, and I can't wait to see you fail to figure it out!

...? The bell tolls, but no body remains. What... is this...?

Attention all Test Subjects of the Grand Experiment! Something has happened! A body hasn't been discovered!

Lee Chaolan has been... well, uh. He's gone. We don't know what happened, but we know he's dead. His role was CODE: ALLCITY, the Ultimate Graffiti Artist!​

Ultimate Graffiti Artist

While your name may be whispered in circles in distant lands, you've heard the GHOST Complex features some of the most complicated and dangerous stunt areas in the world, and believe it would be awesome to perform tricks off its wacky layout. Perhaps you could even leave your artistic mark in its halls, which are mostly covered with dusty paintings and lack your Bodacious Style. Fortunately, the researchers of the complex have captured and studied plenty of speedy spirits, and have developed the perfect Gaddget for you to test on their behalf. Just... don't wipe out, okay?

---

Abilities:

• While your graffiti skills are otherworldly, your Gaddget is designed to help you with reaching new heights for fantastic shots, and achieving swift getaways after a successful mark. It manifests as two components: a pair of glowing inline skates, and boost pack attached to your back. You can equip and unequip these at will.
• Your supernatural skates are usable on all kinds of surfaces in and around the complex. The major exceptions are snow, and sand, which is coarse and rough and gets everywhere.
• You can use your skates to perform two combos per night. A combo is a string of movement-based skating tricks from the following list:

Spoiler: Skating Tricks

• While using your ghostly skates, if you build up sufficient speed by skating, you can perform a wallride by jumping at any wall on the map. This trick will make you ride parallel to the ground along its entire length, gaining slight altitude as you do. Your skates will maintain your traction, keeping you moving along the wall until you voluntarily kick off.
• You can keep the wallride going by jumping to another wall (walljumping). You can only walljump twice per combo before you have to dismount. You can walljump roughly the width of one of the complex's hallways.
• You can railgrind on any handrail, wire, rope, pipe, or other long narrow object in the complex, which will let you traverse from one end to the other swiftly. The exception is if this object is at a steep angle.
• You can perform a manual by sliding on the ground with your skates, which will let you conserve your speed, but slide under players to dodge head-on attacks, and move through low clearings with ease. You can only hold a manual for a few seconds.

• You can use a combo like any other KG action or reaction, provided you are going fast enough. While performing a combo, you will dodge obstacles unless you somehow lose focus mid-combo, or the wall or room you are attempting to traverse has lots of clutter.
• Once per night, you can activate your boost pack, which will grant you immense forward momentum and speed from nothing for a few seconds. You can use this to perform a boost trick from the list below, or start a combo immediately without having to build up speed.
  • A boosted wallride will let you walljump four times before you have to dismount, instead of two.
  • A boosted railgrind will let you traverse one steep-angled grind, even completely vertical poles.
  • A boosted manual will let you break objects and furniture with your skates as you move.
• Lastly, you start with two cans of spray paint. One of these cans is paint that is only visible under darklight. You can whip up simple messages or complex designs in mere seconds while your skates are equipped.
• Ghostly interactions:
  • Your skates will flash a cool ghostly green while in use. Under darklight, you will leave behind small ghostly trails of light that will allow players to see the path you took for a brief period of time, before it vanishes. Using a boost will make this path more prominent and linger slightly longer.
• Forbidden Action: If your skating is interrupted mid-grind, such as through a wall being destroyed, or you colliding with a solid object unexpectedly, you will fail your combo and immediately die of bummer vibes. Ouch!

Click to expand...

Module: LEE CHAOLAN has now been applied to your role.
+ You've learned a new trick you can combo into: Violet Martial Arts. You can perform a single strike punch or kick to break objects or damage walls in your path. When boosted, you have additional strength and can perform an additional strike to break a wall entirely, and can then use the new path for tricks. This damage will be reflected on the map in the next day phase.
With your wealth and vanity, if your outfit or vibes are ruined by paint being splashed on yourself, you will not be able to use your role powers unless cleaned off. Being paintsplattered mid-combo will also trigger your FA.

Ultimate Ritual Empowerment

In this world of spirits, you oddly know exactly the strings to pull to get what you want, and call in favors when you need. You steal the power and influence of others, take what others desire and smash it to pieces, make the living offers they can't refuse, and then beat the dead into submission for good measure. You coerce demonic ghosts into giving you their powers and do your bidding, and you might have even hired a secretary of the underworld at some point.

Of course, this accumulated experience has enlightened you to a few... dark rituals. Rituals that can lend you the powers of mysterious demons you're willing to settle a score with immediately, in order to get you out of this Killing Game in one piece... much unlike the objects you're going to smash to get there.

---

Abilities - Ultimate Ritual Empowerment

• Your role relies on the use of self-made ostraca--broken pieces of objects with smooth surfaces, such as clay pots, used for note-taking. You carry a magic carving pen with which you can inscribe one of four empowerment spells onto an ostracon you've created. You create ostraca by smashing an object on the map with a reasonably smooth surface to write on, and then using your pen to inscribe a spell on it. Note-taking and ritual writing on scrap paper is not your style of enchantment, it's just cheap.
• The empowerment spells are designed to help you achieve a kill more successfully, at the expense of having to expel an associated demonic ghost on the same night as your attempt. These demons are always drawn to the ostraca you create.
• You may pick one spell from the list below to inscribe each night. Each spell has a required surface, and an associated demon. Once you finish inscribing your ostracon, the empowerment you've chosen is active from that point of the night onwards.
• At the same time the spell activates, the demonic ghost of your chosen spell shall emerge from the Tomb, possessing a corporeal, shadow-coated body. It will hunt down the ostracon holder, and knows where they are at all times.
• The spell's empowerment will only apply to the person holding the ostracon. Fortunately, this is enforced by the spell preventing you from letting go of the inscription at all! You cannot discard or destroy the enchanted carving once active, until the end of the next day.
  • The only way it can be transferred is through theft. The allure of the ancient, ghostly sherd you've created will naturally entice all would-be thieves into grabbing it if they mug you. Keep in mind, this also transfers them the power of your spell!
• You can only have one empowerment and one demonic ghost active at a time. The effect also vanishes at the end of the night its activated, so it must be used on the same night it activates.
• If you do not provide a suitable countermeasure to your chosen demon in your night actions, you will likely be killed or heavily injured, as it will hunt you throughout the night, ignoring all other players. Some demonic ghosts can be distracted, and your spell list contains weaknesses for a few of them upfront. You may need to piece together the weaknesses of others through research...
  • If you die to any demonic ghost, there is no trial. If someone else dies to a ghost you summoned, you will be their killer.
  • It is possible to receive assistance when killing demonic ghosts. A summoned ghost cannot kill a player that doesn't have the written tablet it desires, but it can injure them or knock them out. When a demonic ghost dies, its body vanishes in a cloud of black smoke.
• Ghostly interactions:
  • The demonic ghosts you summon only appear as wispy, black shadows to players, unless under dark-light. Their true forms can be seen under dark-light, and anyone in the Paranormal Dimension can see them at all times.
  • Your ghostly ostraca will glow under dark-light while the empowerment is active.
• Weaknesses: While not a direct weakness, it should be noted that your scribings can be interpreted if the right book or lore document is obtained. The demonic ghosts all have documents on their abilities and weaknesses in the complex. This won't reveal who inscribed the spells, but they will reveal a general "clue" about the spell's true power.
• Forbidden Action: Don't get demonkilled. Have fun!

Ultimate Insurance Fraud

"Tax exemption", "Cost of living crisis", "PayGhost me $5", you're sick of it all. You work for a large, technologically-advanced insurance firm, and you've been assigned to audit this mansion, undercover. Everything in the GHOST Complex has been insured at some point, with rumors that the owner would even stuff extra money between the mattress cushions to inflate the rebate price.

However, in this cash poor economy, every claim is now dealt with in numbers and digital currency. An appraisal or two here and there, a handy scan with the "Gaddget" you were able to smuggle in, and you can collect insurance damages in a flash. This is all so you can commit massive insurance fraud and flee the valley and possibly country at large!

Little does your employer know, with this Killing Game nonsense about, you're about to claim the old building "mysteriously collapsed" in a freak ghost accident while taking all of its items with it, and make out with the cash yourself under the owner's name. Given the large cubical ghost calling the shots right now, who knows what happened to him, anyway? Now's your chance to make a killing, as a RePossessor.

---

Abilities - Ultimate Insurance Fraud

• You possess two tools, an Appraisal Ledger brought yourself, and a "Claims Box" Gaddget provided by the facility. Your aim is to collect "G", a currency obtained through specific means throughout the game.
• You can secure an exclusive escape from this game by reaching the minimum goal amount of 70,000,000G. Practically nothing. Anything extra you make over this can fund benefits to help secure your escape.
• You passively earn income the more the GHOST Complex is damaged and its workers die. You collect "Item Insurance" and "Life Insurance" from these events. A summary of all credits and debits will be provided at the end of your rolecard for convenience. As you are functionally an "independent" with your own win condition, the details of your money-making mechanics are behind the lengthiest spoiler bar in any rolecard, so be sure to read it all carefully! There may be secret bonuses you can earn as well.

Spoiler: Guide to Making the G In KG

Making G

• Your money is easily tallied at the end of each phase in a spreadsheet maintained by the hosts. You can query your current holdings at any time.
• Regarding Item insurance, every night, objects will naturally be smashed, property walls will be damaged, rooms will be burned, flooded, or otherwise rendered inaccessible. You will automatically collect +1,500,000G if this occurs at night, but you won't know what exactly happened.
• Additionally, you collect Life Insurance to the tune of +5,000,000G when players die. This occurs for each death, regardless of execution or nightkill. Double murder nights are hence doubly profitable.
• From these two income sources, you can leave the game very comfortably on your own terms if you survive until the finale or thereabouts. However, if you put in the effort, you can leave earlier of your own accord by making extra money.
• You can increase the amount you earn from Item insurance by performing a Damage Inspection during the day. You must provide, in the game thread, a decent summary of any major building damages uncovered during a case, by yourself or other players. You can disguise this however you wish, but the report must be provided either during the wraith vote at the end of the day, or the subsequent night. Doing this will secure you an extra +3,000,000G depending on when your report is written. You cannot submit a report for a previous night after the next night has passed.
• You can increase the amount you earn through Life Insurance by either accomplicing with a killer, or being the culprit yourself, earning double (+5,000,000G) or triple (+10,000,000G) the life insurance premium, respectively.
• You also earn a small sum of money (+500,000G) for correctly voting for the killer in cases you have no involvement.
• There exists 6 "expensive" items on the map, which net you a spare +500,000G if they're destroyed. You will have to examine these either at night or during the day to verify their status. This spare income can assist with shoring up a loss incurred by an incorrect vote.

Spending G

• All of those payment nuances aside, you do have powers at your disposal, for a price. Using your "Claims Box", you can produce a generic copy of an item that has been damaged or has gone missing, provided you know what the item is by name, it can fit within a 2ft x 2ft box, and you have either a photo of its former appearance OR a fragment of the item.
  • The copy of the item will be spawned as it appeared at the beginning of the game, with no modifications, meaning it won't produce the exact bloodied murder weapon to match a wound you wanted to check, or things like that.
  • You can use this power to produce an item at night, meaning you have access to a nearly untraceable item source for kills, but the item must be explicitly mentioned as missing in a report you've provided, at least once. Doing this also requires you to concentrate for a short while to produce the item, so it can't be used in a pinch.
  • Any time you use this power, it costs -1,500,000g, and you can only fulfill two claims per case (one day and night).
• Your second power comes in the form of a special "Two-Party Contract".
  • At any point in the game, you can divulge the truth about your independent goal to someone, and in your night actions, get them to physically sign a contract. This person is then entitled to assist you and escape with you, earning money in the same ways as you, but your joint goal increases to 100,000,000G to account for their compensation. You can only enter a single formal partnership.
  • Alternatively, you can have us hosts sign your contract, which grants you an extra life in the game (making yourself the second party), to the tune of 30,000,000g, which also increases your escape goal to 100,000,000G You will be given this choice if we calculate night actions, you are the victim, and haven't used your contract already. You will also be given this choice if you are incorrectly executed during the day. If you've entered a partnership instead, you die, and your partner inherits your goal and your G for themselves alone.

Escaping with All G

• You only receive G at the end of a phase. Once you surpass your goal, you can trigger your escape condition during the Wraith Vote (so between the day and night phase). The next night's submissions will be extended to account for your departure.
  • It's more likely for you to reach your goal at the end of a day phase. However, if you achieve this at the end of a night phase, you (and your partner, if present) will be immune to execution the next day, but can still participate in the vote and testify.
• Upon triggering your escape, you (and your partner) must attempt to reach an escape point safely during the next night phase. NPCs and other players can attempt to stop you, but you can spend 2,500,000g to block a player from attempting on you, letting you hit them in the face with a sack of cash because screw the rules, you have money. You can also spend the usual amount to use your claims box without the two-item restriction. You can do either action as many times as you can afford it without going under your goal amount.
• Provided you survive the night after you trigger your escape, you will win the game alongside your new business partner if you contracted one.

• Phew. You have earned 500,000G for reading that already.
• Ghostly interactions:
  • The copies of items you create will always fluoresce under darklight.
  • While you live, players damaging expensive items may see "ghost bills" or "ghost coins" briefly appear, flutter around, and then vanish with a sound effect if they are broken under darklight.
• Weaknesses: Your eyes will always be drawn to expensive objects in your account, which may make it harder to memcheck or pay attention to details in certain rooms with them present. You could even be caught off guard if there's a significant stack of valuable items present in one location.
• Forbidden Action: You can't willingly destroy expensive objects or damage the mansion yourself, as your ledger will blare with a false-positive, and terminate you well before you can swindle your employer and take the money yourself. Your partner is not bound to this Forbidden Action, even after inheritance.

That's odd... where do we even begin...?

I... guess... I will inspect his room, just in case.

I'm happy tonight, even if I didn't get to secure a friend for Fascia. You'll see soon.

Okay... Ms. Mona, did elemental powers get used for this kill, if you can even tell without a body...
