Talk:Hieroglyphic slot machine
When using pyramid chip in combat:
You toss the hieroglyphic slot machine the pyramid chip.
Your opponent attacks ... Your foe fumbles! It takes 22 damage.
The wheels click into place one after the other. You don't seem to have won anything, but can see some lumbering piles of knives leaving the casino. So... that's probably good.
The machine gives a grinding sound as it takes X damage due to years of neglect.
A bunch of blades:
Robot arms emerge from the slot machine, sharpening all your weapons for you. Talk about service!
You gain an effect: Automatic Sharpening. (Added for 60 minutes.)
Three pyramids:
The pyramids align like Orion's belt and fall from the machine like stars. Okay, maybe you're making things a little overly dramatic.
You got an item: 3 pyramid chips
A blade and two mummies:
The wheels click into place one after the other. You don't seem to have won anything, but can see some lumbering piles of knives leaving the casino. So... that's probably good. (might disable knife golem as an encounter for a while? but not long. maybe 5-10 encounters, tops)
The machine gives a grinding sound as it takes X damage due to years of neglect.
A sun and two blades:
The wheels reveal a sun and two blades. According to the payout sheet, the prize is cutting back on water consumption, which I think everybody can sort of get behind. (seems to disable Rinse Cycle as an encounter for ?? minutes?)
The machine gives a grinding sound as it takes X damage due to years of neglect.
Three suns:
The wheels reveal three suns. According to the payout sheet, that means turning off the sun lamps for a while. Which is good, because those things suck up power like you wouldn't believe. (Mr. Golden Sunlamp should be disabled for...?? minutes)
A blade and some other stuff:
The wheels spin into place and you win a free knife! Thanks to some maintenance issues, it's lodged in your chest for X damage.
A sun and a pair of pyramids:
The wheels reveal a sun and two pyramids. According to the payout sheet, it's temporarily disabling the sandpit. Which really makes you wonder why they have it in the first place.
(did not receive pyramid chips, but Running Out disabled for ?? minutes?)
A mummy and some other stuff:
Adds 50 to Accuracy, Defense, Dodge, Offense (machine growls angrily)
A pyramid and some other stuff:
You're a winner! Well, technically, it just dropped out one chip, but that's like a free play, right?
You got an item: pyramid chip
Key points:
- "The wheels reveal a pair of mummies. You're not sure if it's the prize, but the machine gets angrier and angrier." (+ Accuracy, Defense, Dodge, Offense)
- Each mummy should add 50.
- Getting pyramids in the message should give you that number of pyramid chips, but only when nothing else shows up (e.g. blades, sun, etc.)
