We have 10 credits, more if we sell some swag. What are we buying?

1 credit: Experiment with “slightly off” purchases by trying to buy a clone of Vanessa with a steep discount.

1 credit: Paper Trail: give Talaada an official identity with paperwork and everything in Zin-Azshari. Nobody will be able to tell it’s fake, there might even be other Talaada’s that are superficially similar in other timelines, to throw off the bronzes

1 credit: Paper Trail: As above, but Doan instead of Talaada

2 credits: Experiment with “slightly off” purchases by trying to buy a clone of one of the Overwatch heroes with a steep discount.

5 credits: extra stock- One more necklace per day and a bigger number of necklaces that can be actively capturing people at a time. The gold standard by which to judge all other purchases

5: Sticky fingers- become really really good at sex, to the point where getting someone in bed has an almost 100% chance of them wanting a repeat performance regardless of the original reasons, assuming it was consensual or “consensual”

5: Memory Charm: edit 5 minutes of someone’s memory and the rest of their life will shift to facilitate it

5: Triggers: implant triggers for certain mind/body transformations into retinue members . Also allows for creating macros and queueing up obediences upon putting on the necklace

5: Toggle: gain the ability to turn off any powers, abilities, company perks possessed by or affecting members of the retinue. You may weaken a waifu for more even sparring, turn off or on enforced company loyalty, or drastically weaken yourself in order to gain an extra challenge. This may result in variant missions or bonus objectives involving such weakening

10: Covert Talent Sharing- with some (a lot of) effort the entire retinue could end up as skilled spies and infiltrators with shapeshifting abilities.

10: Science talent Sharing: everyone becomes much better at mathematics. Technology, and the theory behind arcane magic and artifacts

10: Instant capture- Moroes, the butler of Kharazan. He has nearly free run of the place and is himself a dangerous knife fighter. Likely to turn into a whole new side arc all on his own based around capturing the inhabitants of Kharazan and securing its treasures.

10: Faerie Feast- become such an amazing cook that your food can induce lifelong cravings in a person. These cravings will eventually progress into junkie like addiction upon repeated meals, potentially edging out any other goals or motives they have.

10: All Roads Lead to Home: all members of the retinue gain the ability to make and maintain portals to the pocket plane

10: Share: Alluring Whisper- everyone gets supernaturally sexy voices

10: Share Potpourri- give everyone fine control of their own scent, an innate sense for what smells will impact a target in what ways, and a massively improved sense of smell

10: Share Red String of Fate- give recruiters a sixth sense for who would be receptive.

10: Share Stud Service- people will greatly desire to impregnate or be impregnated by members of the retinue, which will multiply in effect when they act like what that person would consider to be a good parent

10: Life’s a Beach: massively expand the lands around the pocket home, and create a functional/customizable ecosystem on the grounds.

10: Armory: Grants all members of the retinue the ability to summon and equip the default gear provided by any unit that the base is capable of training. They must go to a special room in the pocket apartment and manually be outfitted with this equipment, which then becomes attuned to them. There is always enough to go around.

10: Persistent Corruption: normally the punishments associated with Demiplane Laws are temporary, fading at a steady rate. None of that will be happening here. Punishments are over when Erich says so

10: Performance Talent Sharing: the retinue becomes extremely talented at all performing arts, from opera to pole dancing. One must still practice with these skills, but expect quick results, especially with a mentor.

10: Fools Gold: those who are impressed by financial success, conspicuous consumption, and other forms of financial flexing are dramatically more impressed when Erich does it. People will be able to sense how much money Erich spent on any given item or service and the more expensive it is the more impressive they will find it. Goblin gold diggers will get all hot and bothered at just the sight of him wearing ridiculously overpriced jewelry, and if he shows up in armor he dropped 100,000 gp to...

10: Arlo: Affection for your extremely subordinate companions (such as a child or pet) translates directly to attraction to and affection for Erich. This will serve as a multiplier for stud service in the event of him caring for a baby or child, while a horse breeder will see a beautiful horse and be extremely enamored with its rider (if that rider is Erich)

15: Don’t Stand So Close to Me- anyone that you enter into a mentorship/student relationship with (in either direction) will fall in love with you.

20: Alluring Whisper: Dirty Minds- any time Erich is speaking to someone he would like to have sex with, there is a high chance of an effect similar to a Pickup Line to cause them to misinterpret something he said as a sexual overture and agree. Erich has no power when this happens but it will never be terribly inconvenient or distasteful.

20: Love spot- Erich gains a beauty mark; anyone attracted to men who sees it will be instantly infatuated with him, as if he were the most physically attractive person they have ever seen.

20: Zenryoku Zenkai- Erich will automatically seduce anyone attractive who he defeats in any kind of contest. The effect starts out fairly mild, but grows stronger with high stakes, symmetry (for example, if he only healed during a battle he’d have the strongest effect on the enemy healer), decisive victory, lower numbers of people involved, and how much Erich is responsible for the win.

20: Tsundere Service- if Erich finds someone attractive and they are aggressive towards him for any reason, they will develop a massive crush on him that they are just covering for. They will not notice the mental shift.

20: Instant Capture of Lady Blaumeux- the real one. Start off the corruption of naxxramas with style, eh?

20: Instant Capture of Freya- the titanic overseer of life on Azeroth. Technically Ysera’s superior, but she’s an administrator not a field agent. Gets us into the Titan facility of Ulduar years ahead of schedule

20: Censer of Dreams- the perfect centerpiece for a marvelous party

20: Reward for Service: do something for someone, get whatever you want within a very generous interpretation of “reason”

20: Nightmare Skitterer: automatic capture drone

20: Hotel California: You may create an entertainment business (circus, theatre, arcade, brothel, etc) that acts as a passive recruitment center, drawing people in and slowly transforming them in accordance with the theme of the business and Erich’s preferences. This also counts as a company space. You may only build one such business, but you may set up fronts that teleport to the main business anywhere you like. This counts as a company Space

25: Laws of Man: normally the laws in a Demiplane are limited to “don’t try to harm the retinue”. With this you can forbid a far wider array of actions, and can establish certain voluntary methods to end any punishments incurred. The example given is allowing a member of the retinue to fuck you.

25: Laws of the Jungle: you gain the ability to establish laws pertaining to non-sentient wildlife, and can use physical transformations as punishments. Animals in company spaces can be passively empowered up to tier 4, and can be programmed to follow the laws

25: Dragon Heritage: grants a strengthened bipedal dragon form, elemental affinity with one of the dragonflights, and serves as a prerequisite for additional powerful abilities.

30: Grand Manor: the pocket apartment grows in size again, and rooms both there and in Kharazan can now be modified to include specialized equipment and small quantities of company supplied rare/expensive materials

30: Dirty Minds 2: Erich can, at will, cause a woman he finds attractive to agree to a sexual encounter. The encounter in question will be subject to the woman’s sexual preferences and morals and will always be on her terms, but she will be an enthusiastic participant unless there is absolutely no situation in which she would sleep with Erich. For example, if happily monogamous.

30: Engineering Talent: Erich gains the ability to learn how to design and craft things far more effectively. With a trainer, he will grow rapidly until he equals or exceeds their skill

40: Absolute Order: Erich gains a vastly expanded portfolio of punishments for his necklaces, allowing physical transformations and additional mental states to be inflicted

50: Pen of Written Ownership: it has my name on it, it’s mine.

50: Tax Laws: you may make certain actions mandatory instead of forbidden within your company spaces, with punishments for refusing to obey.

50: Rewards and Lobbying: You may grant access to your own perks and talents as a “punishment” for a law, massively incentivizing a desirable behavior instead of punishing a bad one

50: Laws of Magic: you may make laws pertaining to certain types of magic, and create punishments related to mana or hybrid runs transformations. Forbidden magic is harder to use.

50: Laws of Cognition: Your Jurisdiction expands to include powers and equipment that directly impacts minds, and you may make punishments out of any change possible with mind runes

50: Grand Empress Shek’Zara: Army of fanatical preying mantis men? Eh? Eh?

50: Essence of Zerus: give Kerrigan her FULL power set, including demon variants of the zerg tech tree from the Heart of the Swarm campaign

50: Space Truckin: you may send a target that you kill to another beta test in another world. You will gain a cut of any successes they might have while there, in the form of credits, upgrades, powers, or waifus they acquire. Should they be killed in the other world, they will be returned to this world captured by you.

80: Alluring Whisper: Siren Song: go from merely having an incredibly soothing and pleasant voice to having a compelling one. People will instinctively obey Erich, with some chance of resisting in the event that the commands go against their nature or interests. Those who are lower tier than Erich have less ability to resist, while those of higher tier have more
