Moon Astarte, Make Up

**"Moon Astarte Power, Make Up"** is a command that Shiba Shingetsu used to transform into Sailor Astarte.

## Sequence

Her transformation sequence is like Usagi's. She first raised her hand and her normal fingertips then sparkled and turned dark red. The focus turned to Shiba's face as her eyes winked at the camera, then the perspective pulled back to show her entire body. Shiba did several pirouttes and red ribbons wrapped around her body, forming her leotard, gloves, and boots. Her skirt appeared, and she spun again as her tiara gem appeared on her forehead; the focus then moved close to her face and her tiara materialized. She then finished with her pose.

Giant Insect

**Giant Insect** (4th, trans., conc.)

Casting Time: *1 action*        Range/Area: *6 m*

Duration: *10 minutes*            Attack/Save: *None*

Components: *S* Effect: *Summoning*

You transform up to ten centipedes, three spiders, five wasps, or one scorpion within range into giant versions of their natural forms for the duration. A centipede becomes a giant centipede, a spider becomes a giant spider, a wasp becomes a giant wasp, and a scorpion becomes a giant scorpion.

Each creature obeys your verbal commands, and in combat, they act on your turn each round. The GM has the statistics for these creatures and resolves their actions and movement.

A creature remains in its giant size for the duration, until it drops to 0 hit points, or until you use an action to dismiss the effect on it.

The GM might allow you to choose different targets. For example, if you transform a bee, its giant version might have the same statistics as a giant wasp.
Rising Dread

Rising Dread is a mechanic primarily used to prevent random guessing. A meter in the lower left corner, labeled "A Rising Dread," shows your progress:

> *I have a growing fear deep within me. I cannot let it take hold.*
>
>

## Gaining Rising Dread

Rising Dread is gained several ways, though usually by choosing incorrect items when something specific is requested. You can gain rising dread by:

* Supplying an incorrect plant
* Supplying an incorrect elixir
* Visiting a frightening map location

Locations Where You Will Gain Rising Dread
 Swinside (Stone Circle)

## Maxing Out the Meter

The full meter requires nine Rising Dread tokens, but currently each event gives three tokens, so effectively you can make three mistakes before the meter is full. If you do not max out the meter (i.e., if you only make one or two mistakes), your Rising Dread will reset at the start of the next day. Once the meter has been maxed out, however, you will be taken to a new screen that shows a plate, which then shatters into many fragments on a wooden floor:

> *A shiver travels down my spine. My mind is broken.*
>
>

## Recovering Sanity

In order to proceed without reloading and replaying the day, you now need to reassemble the plate. Moving a piece into the outline will cause it to snap to the center, allowing you to easily rotate it into different positions around a fixed axis; pulling a piece out of the outline will unsnap it. Placing matching pieces close enough to each other will cause them to snap together, allowing them to be rotated jointly around the center. Completing the reassembly of the plate will return you to the game at the point you left, with your Rising Dread meter back at zero.

## Achievement

The first time you complete the plate puzzle, you will be granted the achievement Back from the Brink.
Aid

**Aid** (2nd, abj.)

Casting Time: *1 action*        Range/Area: *6 m*

Duration: *8 hours*            Attack/Save: *None*

*At higher levels*: A target’s hit points increase by an additional 5 for each slot level above 2nd.

### Obtain

### Usage

This plant is used to "ease gastric distress" and to reduce anxiety.
Lab equipment

On Day 10, you receive a visit from Thomas Green:

> *I have finished the designs you asked me to work on. Be careful unwrapping these, some of the glasswork is quite delicate and I have taken great care transporting them.*
>
>

A banner will then appear with the thought:

> *My lab equipment is finally here. I will now be able to brew elixirs using ingredients from my plants.*
>
>

## Using Your Lab Equipment

From the shop counter, select the new arrow pointing left. This will bring up the lab equipment interface, with slots for three plants. Adding any three plants will bring up the Create Elixir button, allowing you to proceed when ready; or you can remove one or more plants if you change your mind before brewing. As with other plant interfaces, brewing an elixir will *not* consume the plants.

The correct plants must be chosen in order to brew a given elixir, but the order they are entered does not matter, so long as a valid combination of plants is selected. If a mistake is made, you will advance your Rising Dread meter and see a banner with the thought:

> *Brewing elixirs is a delicate art. I must have made a mistake somewhere.*
>
>

## Gaining Elixir Recipes

Elixir recipes will, like pages for *The Strange Book of Plants*, be naturally acquired as you advance the plot of the game. By the time a given elixir is requested, you will have all the plants required to brew it, though you may not have identified all of them yet.

You do not need to have obtained a given elixir's recipe in order to brew it, so long as you select the correct three plants. However, there is no other way to know the ingredients without looking up that information outside of the game, and guessing what plants will combine to form an elixir will quickly fill your Rising Dread meter (with 77 plants, there are 73,150 possible combinations and only a few valid elixirs, giving only a 0.005% chance of correctly guessing a recipe when choosing plants completely at random). Some plants needed for elixirs may also not be available until later in the game, and there is no benefit to brewing an elixir earlier than needed.

A Bryer's Disc (a.k.a Smuggler's Disc) is an item available for your use from Day 1. It is required to solve several puzzles, though the method of using it cannot be discovered in-game until Day 8 at the earliest. After solving a Bryer's Disc puzzle for the first time, you will be granted the achievement A Mystery Solved.

## Description

After opening the secret drawer, a page is found that explains how to use the item:

> *A Bryer's Disc, often called a Smuggler's Disc, is a simple device that can be used to send coded messages - the location of cached cargo for example. The principle is cunningly straightforward but the code is undecipherable to prying eyes.*
>
>
> *Both parties must be in possession of a disc of identical size with the same symbols etched around its edge, and a map.*
>
>
>
> *To encode a location you would then place the disc over the same named point on the map nearby and note whichever symbol is pointing to the location. It may be necessary to string multiple symbols together but you can use this method to reach any other point on the map as required.*

The Strange Book of Plants

*The Strange Book of Plants*, sometimes referred as the encyclopedia, is the catalogue of plants found in-game. It is written by a Wilfrid Voynich and is the main source of information for identifying plants.

The first page of the catalogue is a note from the author that serves as a warning to the player to use not only the sketches, but also the descriptions of the plants to aid in identification.

This note is followed by the list of all the plants currently in the catalogue, by alphabetical order. In-game, clicking the name of a plant will take the player directly to that entry in the catalogue.

The catalogue starts off with 12 entries. As the player progresses through the game, they will receive more entries in the book whether from exploration or filling orders. In the current demo version, there are a total of 25 entries that can be found.

## Starter Entries

* Bishop's Parasol
* Farmer's Worry
* Forest Camphry
* Fox Button
* Gandyroot
* Harlequin Blue

* Mary's Breath

* Ren
* St John's Poppy
* Winterbore

Each entry in the catalogue has the following parts: A name, a scientific name, description, and sketch.

## Complete catalogue

For a complete list of all plants found in the book see Category:Plants.

## Trivia
