Major Elemental Dice of Fate

[BriarFox]

Some glittering ruby dice: Crafted from brilliantly cut rubies, the surfaces of the large dice have been polished to a shine. Small slivers of obsidian adorning the six sides of each die serve as pips, sans the single, which is instead depicted by the intricately etched image of a lightning bolt racing across the sky.

By far the best of the dice of fate sets, the major elemental dice not only have useful spells, but are heavily weighted toward the beneficial ones. They are also one of the only items in the game that allow you to summon Meteor Swarm.

Beneficial spells last for upwards of three hours. Harmful spells are usually survivable unless they hit a fatal area -- and you can just walk away from Meteor Swarm.

Roll - Probability - Spell

2- 1/36 - Floating Disk
3- 2/36 - Elemental Bias
4- 3/36 - Stone Fist
5- 4/36 - Cone of Lightning
6- 5/36 - Thurfel's Ward
7- 6/36 - Strength
8- 5/36 - Elemental Deflection
9- 4/36 - Immolation
10-3/36 - Hurl Boulder
11-2/36 - Meteor Swarm
12-1/36 - Elemental Focus


You give the ruby dice a hesitant shake for luck before rolling them on the ground.

As the ruby dice roll, they appear to grow, almost doubling in size before they finally stop to show a 5 and 2. Suddenly...
You feel much stronger.

The ruby dice then disappear, only to reappear in your hand once again.

11-2/36 - Meteor Swarm

I'm not even sure what to say about this.

I remember someone wanting this specific spell.

CB: 20m Krakii (from the officials)

[WRoss]

22m

[BriarFox]

22m to WRoss. ONCE!

[Asha]

Cone? Harsh.

[BriarFox]

Cone? Harsh.

Yeah, it blasts everyone in the room. It hurts!

[WRoss]

do you get charged with murder when it goes off?

[BriarFox]

I don't roll them in town!

[Sighisoara]

the Hurl Boulder hurts like hell, too. I never tested in town either, but I think it would be safe to assume that it would cause a justice infraction. I didn't see the Meteor Swarm. Does it actually cast the spell or just wallop the person who rolls the dice?

It actually casts the spell. In that case, you can just walk away. Ironically, it's the most dangerous spell on the dice but one of the least harmful to the user.

Auction will go TWICE tomorrow and SOLD on Sunday with no further bids.

[LMingrone]

I think it's based on the original dice of fate + the wand (rod) of fate. Doubt the rod exists anymore, as it was crumbly. I bought the rod at the '99 auction and was testing it out in TSC. Whoops. Meteor Swarm. I ran. If it is, it will put you in jail. Just don't roll them in town.

[Stry]

Haha, Wross is going to roll these in front of Empire Knights and power hungry Mayors everywhere!

[WRoss]

I was thinking that the Crimson drills or during a warcamp...

[Roblar]

I'm pretty sure that rod of fate is still in the game.

[LMingrone]

I'm pretty sure that rod of fate is still in the game.

Lol. I sold it for 1m cause it had only 10 charges/crumbly. Either someone had it fixed, or another one was released.

CB: 23m Krakii ONCE!

[BriarFox]

23m to Krakii Twice!

[BriarFox]

Sold tomorrow without further bids.

You ask, "Care to roll some dice?"

You say, "Before I sell them, anyway."

You chuckle.

Vivaldi just closed a dusty farmer's satchel.

Vivaldi asks, "Sure, why not?"

Vivaldi gives his ruby dice a hesitant shake for luck before rolling them on the ground.

A dark grey shadow falls over the ruby dice as they roll, and a rumbling thunder sound is heard before they finally stop to show a 3 and 2. Suddenly...
Bolts of lightning hurl forth from the ruby dice, striking everyone in sight!
... 55 points of damage!
Horrifying electrical shock converts head into blood-stained glass. Death is a step up.

* Vivaldi drops dead at your feet!


A powerful lightning bolt strikes you!
... 75 points of damage!
Powerful blast sends most of you up in smoke!
The deep blue glow leaves you.
You feel the aura of confidence leave you.
The light blue glow leaves you.
You lose your extra internal fortitude.
You notice your blood flow go back to normal.
The air about you stops shimmering.
The white light leaves you.
The very powerful look leaves you.
You return to normal color.
You feel less in tune with your natural surroundings.
The powerful look leaves you.
You no longer hear voices in your mind.
You feel the inner strength leave you.
You are no longer moving silently.
You no longer feel so dextrous.
The misty halo fades from you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 10 mins...

* Nuadjha was just vaporized!

[BriarFox]
