Weapons

The **Weapons** in the game can be enabled or disabled in the options menu, but is enabled by default. Every car is equipped with a built-in Pulse Laser or Plasma Cannon (selectable in pre-race setup). This weapon requires adequate energy in a cars energy bar to fire. The weapon can be charged up in order to release a devastating attack on another car. The Pulse Laser recharges faster allowing for more frequent shots. However, the Pulse Laser charges slower than the Plasma Cannon, but a fully charged Pulse Laser shot does more than a fully charged Plasma Cannon. Also as it fires from a twin cannon it can be easier to hit the enemy. The Plasma Cannon recharges slower, however it does more damage and charges faster.

As well as the built in energy weapon, several pickups are strewn about the tracks. The pickups are small cubes rotating on one corner with a coloured aura around them. The colour of the aura tells the player what the weapon is. They respawn five seconds after being picked up. The pickups can be separated into offensive weapons, defensive weapons, and tools.

Coins

Coins are the in-game currency used in Swing Skills. You spend them in the Swingorm Machine to free your friends from the Swingorms.

There are 4 ways to earn coins:

1. Earn Stars
2. Watch Ads from the scoring screen
3. Open Free Gifts
4. Collect them in a level

#### Earn Stars

Each Star you unlock with a Character earns you a set number of coins, so the more stars you unlock, the more coins you receive.

Watch Ads from the scoring screen

After you play a game and die or finish the course, the scoring screen will sometimes give you an opportunity to watch an ad to earn coins - this is shown by a TV screen that wiggles a little. This pays out a set amount of coins every time you watch an ad.

*The tv screen with the 'Watch Ad to earn Coins' button, highlighted in green.*

**Trivia**: *There are* *several different tv screens that randomly show on the Earn Coins column, each referencing historical tv moments.*

Open Free Gifts

Once a day the game will offer you a free gift, which will give you a random amount of coins. You also have the option of watching an ad to recieve a second free gift that day, which often will pay out substantially more than the first.

Collect coins in a level

Each character's level will have coins placed throughout - you can collect them by swinging through them. You can also tap on them directly, which will make your character throw a rope towards them and pull the coin to the character.
The Paladins (Life After Death)

Vaporwave

Vaporwave (*stylized V a p o r w a v e)* is a secret character that you can unlock by getting 3 stars with the Eighties character.

From Wikipedia:

*"Vaporwave is a microgenre of electronic music and an Internet meme that emerged in the early 2010s. The style is defined by its appropriation of 1980s and 1990s mood music styles such as smooth jazz, elevator music, R&B, J-pop and lounge music, typically sampling or manipulating tracks via chopped and screwed techniques and other effects. Its surrounding subculture is sometimes associated with an ambiguous or satirical take on consumer capitalism and technoculture, and tends to be characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist engagement with the popular entertainment, technology and advertising of previous decades. It also incorporates early Internet imagery, late 1990s web design, glitch art, anime, 3D-rendered objects, and cyberpunk tropes in its cover artwork and music videos."*

She normally uses a spiked baseball bat, but "because of the adults' circumstances", her bat was taken away and replaced with a plastic megaphone.

Narutaki-Sou is an old Japanese style one-story house which doesn't fit in urban scenery. The complex is owned by his mother's cousin and the manager of the apartment is his second cousin, Aoba Kozue. They met each other when they were children, although Shiratori doesn't remember much of it. Kozue is in the second grade of a high school attached to Aoba Junior College.

There are seven residents of Narutaki-Sou. The first, Chanohata Tamami, lives in room #1 and she is Kozue's childhood friend and best friend. Shiratori Ryushi, the main character of the series, resides in room #2. In room #3 resides Momono Megumi, a person who goes her own way in life. Kurosaki Sayoko and her daughter Asami, who is in the first grade of middle school, live in room #5. Finally, in room #6, Haibara Yukio lives with his puppet Johnny.

Narutaki-Sou is filled with characteristic and eccentric people. However, the most eccentric person is Kozue herself. She has a secret of which even she does not know; when she is shocked at something, her personality changes. Not knowing this, Ryushi moves to Narutaki-Sou to realize his dream.

Kozue Aoba

**Kozue Aoba** is one of the main characters of **Mahoraba**. She is the landlady of the Narutaki-Sou and is the love interest of Shiratori Ryushi.

She attends the same high school as Tamami. She has several different personalities that come out when she experiences different emotions, but returns to her original one after sleeping or passing out. Each of her different personalities has a different hairstyle and eye color. Kozue's eye color is a bluish green. She is extremely nice and like all of her other personalities, she enjoys umeboshi. In the manga, she begins going out with Ryūshi in chapter 39. Near the end of the manga, it is revealed that the cause of her different personalities is her sad past where she lost everyone that she loved, starting with the death of her great grandfather and her later abandonment by her parents. It is further revealed that her other personalities were influenced by the 10-year-old Ryūshi who showed her his drawings and taught her that one can be anything in one's imagination.
In the epilogue, it is shown that she and Ryūshi are married and have four kids, each of them similar to one of her four alternate personalities.
Saki Akasaka

S02E09: Dragon Rap Battle

*The group pick a dope name and win their rap battle against Master P so hard that they become his managers.*

## Background

Tulip, the Spymaster of Neverwinter, has agreed to clear the gang's names if they retrieve some powerful magic artifacts that a dangerous cult is collecting to use in a ritual that will cause bad shit to go down. The gang is currently on the trail of the ring of fire, which is in the possession of a dragon named Master P, who is attempting to kick-start his rap career. The gang had just gotten into a brawl with the dragon's followers, the Juggalos.

## Session

Juggalo chief Violent J stops the fight. Demands to know why the group is here. They announce that they’re the Mulmaster County Volunteer Fire Department, to which he replies that they’re a long way from Mulmaster and have killed a lot of his men for firefighters. They admit they’re here to take the Ring of Fire from the dragon, and he is impressed with their bravery, but points out that the dragon will kill them all. They want to convince him to let them kill the dragon, and he’s not going for it.

Eventually the group has the idea to stage a rap battle. Violent J is delighted with this idea, because it plugs right into his promotion plans for the dragon. The bards will witness the rap battle. If the group wins, they get the ring and to live. If they lose, the dragon kills and eats them, and the bards spread the word of the dragon’s glorious victory.

The group agrees, and J goes to set it up with the dragon. While he’s gone, the group kills all the remaining Juggalos and steal a few more faces before hiding the bodies. J returns and the group basically ignores him and heads up to start the rap battle. Kanye intimidates him into not doing anything about his missing crew.

The dragon reminds them of the terms and agrees to the battle. He seems cocky and invites the challengers to go first.

Kanye emerges from the crowd riding on the back of an invisible bear along with Clifton, playing the role of busty hype lady. Kanye delivers an epic set, punctuated by acrobatics, light shows, and a set of floating giant hands flipping him off.

The dragon is shook, and delivers a weak performance. The bards nod along to his performance but clearly award the first point to Kanye.

Second verse was delivered by Lady Ponycorn, along with more acrobatics, tumbling, light shows and Markus breakdancing. Once again, the dragon delivered a weak followup, and conceded his loss, handing over the ring.

At this point, Averlyth felt bad for him, and the group offered to let him join their crew. When he asked how that would work, it turned into kind of a rap career management deal, where the group would call the dragon once they set up gigs, and he would fly out to perform (at which point the group would say “We don’t know what happened, these dudes just attacked the venue, and the crowd ran away! Can you kill them?”)
Ctenmiir

**Ctenmiir** (ftɛn-wiw, because he has wampire teef) is a vampire who was unjustly imprisoned in a magical iron coffin mounted atop animated golem legs for 243 years. He was sent with the group as an escort and guide, however, seeing his genuine heart and ethical behavior, he was released back into the world to start his greatest work to date.

### Freedom Fighter

Upon his release Ctenmiir has dedicated his life to freeing everyone and everything from imprisonment, whether just, unjust, or even acknowledged. Shackles should require consent; and if a few guards have to die, or if the prisoner really doesn't want to be released, well, those are just unfortunate road bumps along the way.

### Notable Episodes

Taldic Lowery

Taldic Lowery was the CEO of Fresenius Restoration, and assumed to be the mastermind behind the Sword Coast Sight Rot Epidemic. After the epidemic was addressed, MCVFD learned that he was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

## Sight Rot Epidemic

*Main Article: Sword Coast Sight Rot Epidemic*
Taldic Lowery was the CEO of Fresenius Restoration at the time of its conspiracy to infect the residents of various Sword Coast cities with Sight Rot and then stockpile the only known permanent cure, Eyebright, to artificially drive up prices.

MCVFD found evidence of his involvement in this scandal, but were not able to arrest Lowery before he vanished into hiding.

However, MCVFD later learned that Lowery was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse -- Plague -- and so eventually confronted him again along with the other three in a battle on the roof of a tower at the University of Neverwinter.

## Death

MCVFD encountered Lowery one more time in a valley in the Ice Spire Mountains, where he had commissioned a big group of orcs to acquire an ancient tablet kept near the The Birthright Stones.

After battling with a hill giant, Kanye caused an avalanche which ultimately buried Lowery. To make sure he really was dead, Kanye then picked him up out of the snow and used his power armor to throw him as hard as possible into the ground.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are destructive entities that come into the world on a cycle. They are the servants and harbingers of He Who Sleeps. Their goal is always to cause enough suffering to awaken their master, though each prefers a different tactic.

The name of the group is a relic of a pre-feminist time. People of all genders are now accepted as "horsemen", a term which as remained in popular use because centaur activist groups objected to the adoption of the more inclusive term "horsepeople" on the grounds that it would further the negative association between centaurs and the harbingers of the apocalypse.

## White Horseman: Plague

> I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come and see!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. ( Revelation 6:1-2)
>
>

The current incarnation of the White Horseman is Taldic Lowery, the (former) CEO of Fresenius Restoration. He favors simple business suits, but has a large horse tattoo on his chest.

## Red Horseman: War

> When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come and see!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. ( Revelation 6:3-4)
>
>

The current incarnation of the Red Horseman is Rose Highhead, a strong woman who wears a distinctive set of red armor with a horse motif.

## Black Horseman: Famine

> When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” (Revelation 6:5-6)
>
>

The current incarnation of the Black Horseman is Lady Esmerelda Moneybags, a noblewoman and owner of the Brawndo company. She wears expensive clothes and has an elaborate back tattoo of a starving horse running across the desert.

## Pale Horseman: Death

> When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come and see!” I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)
>
>

The current incarnation of the Pale Horseman is Roreth, a cultist and religious zealot who worships Bane. He has a long beard and favors robes with a flame motif and a horse-skull mask.

> Из сборника семейных легенд Гамильтонов (1768): *"Рассказывают и такую легенду: много веков назад Лаклан Гамильтон пленил Акора, магрибского чернокнижника. Первое время коварный колдун давал Лаклану советы, но в глубине души своей затеял недоброе. Почуяв близость ужасной черной смерти, колдун произнес страшное проклятье. Тенью пало оно на семью Гамильтонов и спустя шестнадцать лет поразило младшее дитя Лаклана, юную Асенат. Безутешны были Лаклан и супруга его, Ровайн, и недолго пережили собственное дитя".*

Gloin Nathair-Nathair

Gloin Nathair-Nathair during her undead years

**Gloin Nathair-Nathair** (/gluːɪn nɛaɪɛr-nɛaɪɛr/) was a medusa capable of vitrification: turning creatures into glass.

Gloin somehow ended up imprisoned in a temple in Doin Gloin, worshipped by a cult of Kenku. MCVFD used an Apparatus of Qwalish to visit a simulated recreation of a ceremony where the Kenku priests brought people before Gloin to have them turned to glass, before placing them around the city as statues.

By the time MCVFD encountered Gloin in person, she had died and been raised in undeath, either by the Kenku priests or by Qwalish. MCVFD finally killed Gloin (for real this time) to gain access to Qwalish's vitrified body that was stored inside the temple.

Pocket Places Incorporated

**Pocket Places Incorporated** is a commercial real estate company that provides both shared and private workspaces for individuals, small groups, and small businesses.

## History

Pocket Places was founded by Dr. Belinda Pocket as a result of research into high-speed switching of interdimensional portals in the School of Extradimensional Phenomena at the University of Neverwinter.

Dr. Pocket's new innovation was the *portal exchange*, allowing rapid bridging of portals to work around the point-to-point limitations of mass-produced portals. The portal exchange uses meta-portals to quickly move an exit portal to be directly adjacent to an entry portal, such that anyone passing into the entry portal will have the impression of moving directly into and through the exit portal.

Initial implementations of a portal exchange were purely mechanical and took up to a minute to make a new connection. The current state-of-the-art in portal exchange exploits modern meta-portal technology to allow switching portals together using magical techniques, which can make a new portal-to-portal connection in under one second.

## Products

Pocket Places markets the portal exchange technology in the form of various small, portable portal generators that are often placed into a chassis that resembles an object associated with the target market of the particular device. Each such generator comes with an unlimited subscription for access to a particular configuration of workspace.

The base product is the Pocket Portable Meeting Room, which appears as a briefcase containing an entry portal in a convenient roll-out dispenser. Deploying the portal automatically requests a space from the Pocket Places Exchange that is configured with a whiteboard and dry-erase InfiniMarkers.

Pocket Places also offers higher-priced specialized variants of this model aimed at specific trades under their *Pocket Workshop* brand, with offerings for carpentry, alchemy, metalwork, etc. The higher price of Pocket Workshop products as compared to the basic meeting room confers access not only to a workspace but also to well-maintained tools that are always cleaned and ready to use on entry.

### **Магические способности**

По словам Джанк, Джарет - «правильный хаос».

#### **Король Грёз**

Как один из королей волшебного мира, он путешествует между мирами, не используя Перекрестков: он может переходить между мирами, используя сны. Эти сны тоже - часть его королевства.

Однако, есть места, куда он проникнуть не может: Перекрестки, Тупики, дома, давно оставленные жителями, да еще…(?)

#### **Джарет и дети**

Джарет - воплощение разумного детского страха перед темнотой и неизвестностью, который с возрастом превращается в осмотрительность.

Может брать детей под свое покровительство до исполнения им 16 лет, дальше могущество короля не простирается.

У Джарета есть плавающие по воздуху стеклянные шары, с помощью которых он может следить, за кем захочет. А еще ими отлично можно пользоваться как светильниками.

Всегда носил при себе, на левом запястье, обладающий чародейскими силами браслет из 700 зубов (секрет о том, что он по совместительству еще и Зубная Фея, он под страхом смерти запрещает разглашать).

Nordom

**Nordom** is a quadrone modron who has achieved sentient independence.

Nordom was appointed to lead communication with a group of adventurers in the southern catacombs of Neverwinter. A member of that group took great satisfaction in taunting Nordom with logical paradoxes and eventually caused Nordom to have a mental breakdown, causing it to go rogue.

As always when a modron achieves independence, Nordom and all of its subordinates were immediately detached from the modron chain of command and attacked on sight by any other modrons.

MCVFD returned all of the other modrons via a portal to wherever they came from, leaving Nordom and its subordinates isolated from the rest of modron culture. To give Nordom new purpose, Nissa introduced Nordom to the Harpers and got him a job organizing the contents of The Black Library, which was the last place that Nordom was seen.

Nordom can only communicate with pentadrones and tridrones itself, but due to its role as a communicator it has a universal translator which allows it to communicate with others who speak and/or understand Common.

## Alternative Future

After being abducted to the History Channel Space Station, the gang learned that in that alternate timeline Nordom woin't live for millenia after the catacombs incident and woin't eventually become the quartermaster of the space station.
