Mystical slouch of sorcerous mayhem
mystical slouch of sorcerous mayhem
Plural: mystical slouches of sorcerous mayhem
The slouch has a long history in military circles, evolving out of floppy felt hats from the 18th century. It's a soft hat where you can pin up one side of the brim so that you can easily march with a rifle over your shoulder. Neat, huh?
This particular slouch looks like the mutant hybrid of a stage magician's tophat and an Australian bush hat. Little quivers of power emanate from it. Perhaps it actually is such a hybrid. You feel a little silly wearing it and have a powerful urge to reach inside and see what you can pull out. I guess you've done stranger things.
The slouch currently appears to be full of mystical energy.

It looks like there's one more item down at the bottom. You reach way in there ... what you find is the horrific, cursed were-rabbit. Wait, on closer inspection it's Welsh rarebit. You always get those two mixed up. You dispose of the rarebit in the most delicious fashion possible.

It looks like there's one more item down at the bottom. You reach way in there ... and out hops a young woman in a bathing suit, wearing bunny ears. This is a PG game, so Ryme comes by and offers to escort the lady home. Trust me, it's for your own good. Totally.

It looks like there's one more item down at the bottom. You reach way in there ... and pluck out what at first appears to be a normal rabbit. Except it's making clucking noises, and starts laying little chocolate eggs. Well, they're egg-shaped, and they don't smell funny, but you're not about to test. Even if it is chocolate, think about where it came from! While you're cleaning up the eggs, the rabbit wanders off.
or
It looks like there's one more item down at the bottom. You reach way in there ... and find yourself holding a sleeping hare. You don't want to startle it, so you gently set it down on a soft pillow.
