Asdon Martin

Your Asdon Martin can be found in Your Workshed after using a Asdon Martin keyfob.

---

Your Asdon Martin is parked in your workshed and the fuel gauge reads X litres of fuel.

Activate Fuel Convertor

This machine has a gas-pump-style hose, a display showing how much fuel your Asdon Martin has remaining, and a funnel. Apparently it converts food and booze into gasoline. Or bio-ethanol, or whatever it would be called. Turns out your car is way less picky about what it drinks than you are.

The fuel gauge currently reads: X

• Converting food:

You stuff the <food> down the funnel, and the machine makes BZONK CHONK CHONK CHONK ZZZZZZRP gurgle GWOOOSSSH beedle-deedle-boop PLOINK! noises as it converts the food into fuel and pumps it into the Asdon Martin. The display updates with a pleep!

• Converting booze:

You pour the <booze> into the funnel on the fuel converter, and it makes a GLURGLE-URGLE-URGLE pchank-kachank FWIZZZZZZZ GWOOOSSSH beedle-deedle-boop PLOINK! sound as the booze is converted to fuel and pumped into the Asdon Martin. The display updates with a pleep!

Drive!

• You can start driving nine different ways, each taking 37 fuel to give 30 turns of an effect. You can drive:
• Obnoxiously

You turn on "Obnoxious Driving Mode" and with a BOING GOING GOING several signs on springs pop out of the Asdon Martin. They say things like "Hey Look At Me" and "How's My Driving? Call 1-800-GET BENT"

You acquire an effect: Driving Obnoxiously (duration: 30 Adventures)

• Stealthily

The Asdon Martin goes bwommmmmmmm and shimmers into near-invisibility as you turn on the optical camouflage. Finding the door is going to be tricky.

You acquire an effect: Driving Stealthily (duration: 30 Adventures)

• Wastefully

You turn on the settings for "oil slicks", "more oil slicks", and "constantly just dripping oil". You start to hear a steady glip blip glip sound.

You push a button for armored body panels. Robot arms VWOMMM down from the ceiling and apply metal plating to the car with loud ZWOOSH KLANG BLANG BLONG BZZZRT sounds.

You acquire an effect: Driving Safely (duration: 30 Adventures)

• Recklessly

You activate on the Asdon Martin's sirens (they sound like "FWOOP FWOOOOOOOOP!") and set the autopilot for a lot of weaving in and out of traffic and cutting people off. This is definitely going to incite some road rage.

You acquire an effect: Driving Recklessly (duration: 30 Adventures)

• Intimidatingly

You turn on Intimidation Mode, and FWAK SCHLATAK a bunch of rusty spikes sprout from the Asdon Martin's bumpers. This is followed by a zweeeeee GABLOOOSH as a robot arm dumps a bucket of pig blood all over it.

When you turn on Observation Mode, the Asdon Martin's headlights brighten tenfold with a loud VWAZASH and a pling pling pling-ing radar dish pops out of the roof.

You acquire an effect: Driving Observantly (duration: 30 Adventures)

• Waterproofly

When you turn on "Underwater Mode", a snorkel mouthpiece gabloinks out of the Asdon Martin's steering wheel, followed by a sound like zweeeeeeeeeeeee-KRUNCH as a long pipe telescopes out of the hood of the car and smashes through the roof of your workshed.

You acquire an effect: Driving Waterproofly (duration: 30 Adventures)

Notes

• You can convert food and booze in your inventory to fuel.

• The amount of fuel given is approximately equal to the number of adventures the consumable would have given.
• The fuel converter will not accept items that can be purchased directly from NPC stores, items that can not be traded, and items with a no-discard flag.
• The converter will, however, accept items crafted from items that can be purchased directly from NPC stores. A good choice is loaf of soda breads, cooked from bottles of soda water (purchased at The General Store) and wads of dough (purchased at any of the the Kingdom's bakeries).

• Fuel level is reset to zero when ascending. Fuel level is not reset when swapping workshed appliances.
• Driving effects are mutually exclusive. You may extend or deactivate your current driving effect from the workshed interface.
• Driving effects continue after swapping to a new shed item, but fuel based skills cannot be used until it is reinstalled.
