Your efforts at learning the Deathtoll card have resulted in the following upgrade:

Deathtoll

When you play this card, each other Foilbeast in play becomes a Sealed Foilbeast. When a Sealed Foilbeast would be killed in Foilclash, it is instead no longer a Sealed Foilbeast, and put a Soul on Deathtoll.

When Deathtoll has 5 Souls on it, ??????????????????????????????????

Your efforts at coaxing Professor Loshakle to aid you have resulted in:

Positive regard from Professor Loshakle (x3).

(Actual tutoring sessions will come from spending Regard, but asking alone is enough to earn you some!)

For undergoing Research on the Sundered, you have earned:

An Answer. As a question of the research team, and they will give you the best answer they as a collective can provide.

question about the card. can i make a log with him doing just that, getting the five souls on it, or would that have to be an action this month when the next check comes up.

[magicademymods]

A log is perfectly fine. Actions are intended for things you want credit for doing in the background, so if this is to occur in the foreground no need for one.

[puzzlers]

Cool :3

Here's the thread of him using it against Kaiba with the sole purpose of trying to figure out what it does!

[magicademymods]

Good work, Yugi! You've improved the card to read:

Deathtoll

When you play this card, each other Foilbeast in play becomes a Sealed Foilbeast. When a Sealed Foilbeast would be killed in Foilclash, it is instead no longer a Sealed Foilbeast, and put a Soul on Deathtoll.

When Deathtoll has 5 Souls on it, you must Shatter these five souls. When you do, your opponent's soul is sealed in this card.

When Deathtoll enters the Banished pile, ?????????

Apparently the rules of Fantastic Foils imply to the point of legality that a soulless opponent automatically loses the game unless they entered the game that way.

Don't worry. You can put the soul back once the game is over.

You don't have to though.

[puzzlers]

H- He... used it on Kaiba. And is terrified now. BUT is it possible for him to go back to that tower and question the man that gave it to him about the last part?

[magicademymods]

What tower?

There's no tower there.

[puzzlers]

...omg.

Can he ask mittens or his boss if they know anybody that might be able to help ;;

Now that old man is totally trolling him!

[magicademymods]

You have unlocked a special adventure: For Whom the Death Tolls! (Which we will assume you wish to undertake in lieu of A Children's Card Game again!)

[puzzlers]

Yes please!!!

[puzzlers]

just a quick question about the card-! i have yet to send it to the banished pile ( yet ) but does excessively using it have any ill effects?

[magicademymods]

Not a one!

[puzzlers]

I had this take place after he’s clashed with a bunch of the possessed people and used Deathtoll on them to exorcise them of the evil. But he’s hoping this other effect can maybe end this or... something...

Banished!

[magicademymods]

Good work? You continue to play with fire!

Deathtoll

When you play this card, each other Foilbeast in play becomes a Sealed Foilbeast. When a Sealed Foilbeast would be killed in Foilclash, it is instead no longer a Sealed Foilbeast, and put a Soul on Deathtoll.

When Deathtoll has 5 Souls on it, you must Shatter these five souls. When you do, your opponent's soul is sealed in this card.

When Deathtoll enters the Banished pile, the Playing Field Form becomes "The Door To What Lies Beneath". All Souls on Deathtoll (Foilbeast or Player) become Sacrificial Keys and are placed on the Door To What Lies Beneath.

The Door To What Lies Beneath

Playing Field Form
When a Foilbeast is destroyed while the Door To What Lies Beneath is the Playing Field Form, place a Sacrificial Key on the Door To What Lies Beneath.

If there are fewer than six Sacrificial Keys on the Door To What Lies Beneath at the end of your opponent's turn, your opponent loses 500mL of blood and a Sacrificial Key is placed on the Door To What Lies Beneath.

When there are six Sacrificial Keys on the Door To What Lies Beneath, destroy the Sacrificial Keys, and ?????????

[puzzlers]

he just wants answers ;;

but this is getting bad so they'll probably abandon this shortly.

doot. one more.

[magicademymods]

The Door To What Lies Beneath

Playing Field Form

When a Foilbeast is destroyed while the Door To What Lies Beneath is the Playing Field Form, place a Sacrificial Key on the Door To What Lies Beneath.

If there are fewer than six Sacrificial Keys on the Door To What Lies Beneath at the end of your opponent's turn, your opponent loses 500mL of blood and a Sacrificial Key is placed on the Door To What Lies Beneath.

When there are six Sacrificial Keys on the Door To What Lies Beneath, destroy the Sacrificial Keys, and open the Door To What Lies Beneath.

The field itself opens, in a great rumbling of earth and stone. This is no mere magical illusion -- both the ground below and the very fabric of reality crack, peeling back to reveal What Lies Beneath this great cosmic intersection of overlapping planes and realities.

Because this is not a special location, a random roll determines your results: 78.

The two of them find themselves stepping through the door into the Brunch Buffet of the Gods, a heavenly and peaceful place where the angelic-looking residents greet them warmly. The food is absolutely incredible, and after a satisfying meal the door closes and returns them to where they began.

Kaiba gets stuck with the bill, but thanks to the quirks of interdimensional collections, it gets automatically deducted from Kaiba Corp as a working expense.

[puzzlers]

can yugi get a to go box, because he paid blood to get in here!

[magicademymods]

You have acquired an Item of Power:

The To-Go Box of the Gods

Though inconveniently sized and shaped, the To-Go Box of the Gods has a special virtue: whenever Yugi opens it, it always contains three slices of Cream-Cheese-Stuffed French Toast of the Gods, comfortably warm and with a fork tucked away to eat them with.

[puzzlers]

hm.

...oh. [ he hadn't been expecting that. ] Before he leaves can he ask where this card came from and why? It seemed to be so evil not good and then this.

also does eating the stuffed french toast do anything besides be really really REALLY tasty?

[magicademymods]

it does not

You have received the Puzzled Shrug of the Gods.

[puzzlers]

But how did we end up... what...

[ he has never been so confused in his entire life. ]

[ just going to thank them for the to go box and apologize for, uh, interrupting??? ]
