Possible.. depends which cards land face up.

I could end up massively wealthy, I could end up in a little box. I might gain an army of henchmen. I Might end up as the star of "Spectre Spank 2002" as the target of a Death/Minor Death circle jerk/sodomy gang rape.

But.. it all depends.

Sits upon the throne in her keep, the knight who had appeared earlier kneeling by her side, awaiting his orders, she pulls three cards from the deck, grinning as it's been too long since a game of chance had come along to muck up her existance...

An outsider now hates you.

Ruvyen: Donjon, Idiot, Star, The Void, Comet.

Imprisonment, dumbassness, +2 bonus, soul suck, and defeat next monster for a full level.

Razor: Key.

Hmm... Question.

The knight is a level 4 fighter, probably decked out in full plate.

I'm a level 4 fighter, currently soulless twice over, and decked out in full plate. However, a knight has to have a soul, right?

So, I was thinking... If I have to give my sword to the next person to get the Knight card... Will I get my soul back?

Deja to the mudda fuggin vu!

I'll take two cards.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

You know the answer to your next dilemma.

Ruvyen: The knight is a soulless reflection of you.

Liam: Moon.

Three wishes for the lucky roller.

Sentow: Skull and The Fates.

Defeat Death or be forever destroyed, and you have the power to avoid any situation once.

Three wishes, and the hand of the fates to yank me out of trouble. Oh yeah, I definitely think that I'm happy with these draws.

As for those wishes... I'm the son of a lawyer. Tricky phrasing is second nature to me. I can come up with just about anything to work it out the way I want... Even if I have to type out a ten page description of each wish.

An outsider hates you, you get a 4th level fighter to serve you, You feel wise, and can answer your next dilemma, and are imprisoned in a tiny capsule a few hundred kilometres below the surface of the earth.


So.. I know how to get out of the capsule? Bwa haha. Interesting.

Tell me, you're using the 3rd edition deck, arent you? Hmph. Much nastier things in that one.
