Extreme Makeover - Remi Edition

"Greetings everyone!  As you all know, my name is Remi.  I'm the first person to greet you when you arrive in Isya.  I meet tons of new people everyday, and while I can't help them all, I do try to help a few here and there that I feel are most deserving."

"So let's see who we have here today... hmm... 'PrettyPrincess313' pass, with a name like that she sounds like a gold digger.  Who else... 'SmokinYouNoobs' no, too hmm... controversial.  'GoldNP', wait him again?  I'll call the guards later... oh! Here's one!  'WinterLace' she sounds lovely!"

"WinterLace!  WinterLace!  Hey there!"

"Hmm?  Huh?"

"Remember me?  I am Remi, the guide for beginners!"

"Oh.  Err, what's up?  I still know where to get HP stones at."

"Haha!  You're so silly!  How would YOU like to get an Extreme Makeover courtesy of yours truly?"

"Oh, I guess that sounds cool.  What do I have to do?"

"For the low, low price of 1500sc, I'll offer you a prize!"

"Wait, what?  This sounds like a scam."

"A scam?!  I am Remi!  I am the first person that greets you when you arrive here!  It's only 1500sc, look at all the cool stuff you can win!  Permanent Costumes!  30-day Costumes!  Mounts!  Charms!  Exclusive items found no where else!"

 

"Wow!  I can win all those items for just 1500sc?  I did just hit level 95, maybe I do deserve to treat myself to something nice!"

 "Yes you should reward yourself!  Just think of all the FABULOUS prizes!  A winner EVERY TIME!"

"Cool, I'm in.  I've got 4,500sc left, man I really want to win a Permanent Costume, that Lovesick costume is great!  But I'd be satisfied with something for 30-days too.  What a deal!"

"Alrighty, I'll take that first 1,500sc, go ahead and take a pull on that lever!  Good luck!"

"Alright, here goes....."

"Congratulations!  You won Heart Fireworks!  Would you like to keep this or trade it in for a Credit?"

"Fireworks?  What the.... I definitely don't need that, I burned down parts of Alberstoll the last time I was trusted with those... I'll take a credit.  Two more spins, my luck's gotta improve!"

"Okay another 1,500sc please.  Thanks.  Go ahead and pull again!"

"C'mon perms!"

 "Wow!  Congrats!  You won a 7-day Tiger Hoodie!  This is one of the wonderful EXCLUSIVES I was telling you about!  This will look fabulous on you and it has an amazing 3% critical bonus!  Would you like to keep it or turn it in for a Credit?"

"Uh, I guess I'll keep it.  It's something I can use afterall.  And you did say it was exclusive!"

*giggles* "Undoubtedly!  Are you ready for your last try?  I'll take that final 1,500sc from you.  Thanks, good luck!"

"Cross my fingers, last pull!"

 "Wow!  Listen to all that fanfare music!  You won a 7-day Tiger Costume!  You completed the tiger set!  You have the EXCLUSIVE hoodie AND the costume!  So rare, so chic, so cosmopolitan, and a 7% crit bonus to boot!  Rawr!  You want to keep this right?"

"Err yeah I guess so, I guess I can use it and it's all Tiger stuff so it'll match!"

"Great!  So now that you've won TWO FAAAAAAABULOUS prizes, why not try them on and see how you look?"

"Uh, okay.... here goes."

"AHAHAHHA! *points* "Another satisfied customer of Remi's!  Now THAT is an EXTREME Makeover!  Enjoy your items!  Ignore the laughs, they're clearly laughing WITH you and not AT you!"

*sigh*  "What is this, I don't even--"

"Oh hey Winter!  Congrats on 95!  Umm.. what's with the get up?  Early for Halloween?"

"No, I was talking to Remi and -"

"Oh no, you didn't!"

"I did, I played three times and won these items.  You look great by the way, what costume is that?"

"Oh this?  It's called the Holy Rebirth."

"Wow, it's pretty... how much was it?"

"I got it on sale!  It was a little over 4500sc!"

"Oh my god....."

"Wait, why?  You look umm... great? too!  We spent about the same, and hey at least yours is good for 30-days too just like mine!"

"Err, no.  These are 7-day items."

"Poor Winter, can you ever win?" *whispers* "You do know that they call that Tiger Hoodie the "Hood of Shame" right?  Remi gives that to all her victims..."

"Nope.  But I can see why..."  *sigh*  "Really wish I had kept those fireworks, Remi's box would make fine kindling...."

Fatal's Fiesta Facts - CSI Edition Over!

No more comments please!  Results forthcoming!  :)

4 Years of Fiesta Event: Fatal's Fiesta Facts - CSI: ISYA Edition!

We’ve all heard the stories, bodies mutilated and discarded.  Random mobs attacked without provocation and without mercy.  Yeah, sometimes they deserve it, but this has gone too far.  Typically when mobs are defeated they disappear as their spirits return to Isya.  But now, that’s no longer the case.  Bodies cut, gashed, slashed and left to decompose, gruesome reminders of a darker magic once forbidden.  I have my theories, but can I find the clues that prove it?

Shutian:  WinterLace, thanks for responding.  You’ve heard the rumors, well, they’re true.  I need you to help me connect the dots on this case.  I have my suspicions, but without concrete proof, my hands are tied.

WinterLace:  Sure thing chief.  I’ll see what I can dig up.

Shutian:  Interesting choice of words since your journey starts here in Moonlight Tomb.  Wishis was out gathering toadstools when she discovered a body.  Need you to check it out.  Search the body and the surrounding area and get back to me with what you find.  Now get going, no time to waste.  Take this device, it hasn’t got a name yet but it’s a top secret technology that Hans has been tinkering with, it’ll help you document what you find.

With device in hand, I set off.  So what is this thing exactly?  Shutian wasn’t very forthcoming with details or instructions, typical.  What’s this button do?

Oww.... that flash hurt my eyes.  But hey, pretty cool, a picture of myself came outta this thing.  This device is great!  I’d better be careful with it... OH CRAP!

Ha!  I guess it’s pretty sturdy too, still works after dropping it.  Oh great another picture... not exactly flattering.  Oh well I'd better get started....

As I went from map to map, what I found was disturbing, the kind of stuff that haunts your dreams and ruins your appetite.  I took a bunch of pictures and interviewed a few witnesses.  Mobs don't usually like to talk to adventurers, but heck, even they're spooked.  Knowing that their spirits may not reach the afterlife will put a scare into anyone.

Gathering up all my evidence, I headed over to my favorite cafe Chateau de Kebing, to put my case together.  Thankfully, I take a lot of notes because my memory is just awful!  After all this work, I needed a break and I could definitely use the caffeine boost.

I closed my eyes and savored my Marigold Tea.  The fragrance seemed to just lift the stress from my shoulders and give me a sense of calm, a sense of peace.  Now focused and relaxed, I headed back to my work when -- What the?!

All I saw was a flash of color and suddenly some guy is running off with my case file!  He's not doing a great job stealing it as the contents of my file are falling all over the place... I chased him off, but it looks like he shredded my notebook.  I recovered the pictures, but with my poor memory, I'm going to need help piecing this case back together.  Can you help me identify the victims and locations?  I'll try to help with a clue here and there if I can remember.

Questions 1-15:  Help me identify each victim and their location (map name).  2 points will be awarded for each correct name and another 2 points for each correct map.  Total possible, 60pts.

1)  Victim and Location

2) Victim and Location (I can still smell the ocean)

3) Victim and Location

4) Victim and Location

5) Victim and Location (I remember him being silver, not red)

6) Victim and Location (He was larger than the others, lots of broken bridges here)

7) Victim and Location (found him in an upstairs room)

8) Victim and Location (I felt sorry for her, this was what Wishis found)

9) Victim and Location (He was massive, but he didn't wear the crown)

10) Victim and Location (those Archons were awfully noisy)

11) Victim and Location

12) Victim and Location (the color white seems familiar here)

13) Victim and Location (I heard a Werewolf howl nearby)

14) Victim and Location (Picture was taken near the base of a hill)

15) Victim and Location (His body was being guarded by Red Stonies)

Questions 16-21:  I'm going to be testing your sleuthing abilities here.  Remembering back to what you read above, answer the following questions (3 points each, total possible 18 points):

16)  Which NPC tasked me with investigating this case?

17)  On which map did he suggest I start?


18)  What was Wishis doing when she discovered a mutilated body?


19)  What is the name of my favorite cafe?


20)  What was I drinking when my case file was stolen?


21)  What class was the thief that stole my files?


After analyzing my shredded notebook, I recovered the following key words from the interviews I conducted, using these words can you name the killer?  (He's an NPC)

Schizophrenic

Painted

Pointy Toed

Green Hair

Eccentric

Puppets

Question 22 - Name the killer (22 points)
