>Dani: Play Craps and use Word of Power to cheat

You motion at the other two to huddle up, which you guys do. You get a little red from being in close proximity to them, but you suck it up. "Hand me your Soul Chips brethren," you whisper, "I shall use my great wizardly powers to amass us endless wealth! However, I require that you draw the Dragon's attention away from me."

Evi grins. "Distractin's our middle name!"

Nobert looks at her weirdly. "I don't think I wanna share any names with you."

[ 70 Soul Chips acquired. Allocated to HDD. ]

>Nobert (and Evi): Distract the Dragon

The two of you walk up to the Dragon. You cross your arms and look up him with exaggerated curiosity. "So, run by me one more time how many Soul Chips it'll take to get a pair of Wings?"

The Dragon adjusts his glasses. "Man, you better listen up cuz I don't like repeating myself. It'll take you 100 Soul Chips!"

You scratch your head. "Okay, soooooo how many of us would it take for Wings again?"

He sighs. "The three of you."

Evi catches on and materializes a Broken Twig. "Oh oh! How about this stuff? How many for some Wings?"

The Dragon looks at it pensively. "Hmm, I mean, it seems like a pretty shoddy-looking stick to me but it feels kinda special. Hmm..."

>Dani: Showtime


You walk up to the craps table and lock eyes with the dealer, who looks just like all these other zombies except he has a pretty slick moustache. Around you are a few other zombies watching but they don't seem to be playing.

He slides a pair of dice in the middle for you.

You take a deep breath since you only kind of know how to play this game through shitty flash games online. Just gotta roll a 7 or an 11 to win, you think to yourself.

You materialize 10 chips, which take a few seconds to show up, then you slap them on the pass line.
With the dice in hand, you quickly fire up all the neurons in your head to see the proper angular momentum and trajectory that the dice must travel in to land on the rolls you want.

You have a somewhat solid idea of what to do and throw it out with a smug face. "I think I'm feeling..." you inhale, then unleash the Word of Power, "LUCKY!!"
A great gust of wind blasts away everything on the table, sending the dice and the chips flying.

SP [ 60% ]

You stand dumbfounded, then nervously look at the Dragon. Fortunately, he is busy getting pissed at the other two.
You severely underestimated how strong that would be.
You try to play it cool and checkmark your chin. "Haha, that was quite the, uh, breeze! Quite the lively weather we're having, right gentlemen?"

The dealer scratches his head. "Uohgh?"

Zombradley walks by and returns the items to the table.

The dealer shrugs and slides the dice and the chips to you again.

Alright, you try this again. 10 chips on the pass line. You have the hypothetical physics down. You just have to somehow get your motor functions to comply.
You throw out the dice into the air and ready the Word of Power, but this time you focus on controlling it.
"I think today is a good day for a..." you soften your voice, "...seven."

Another blast of wind shoots out of your mouth, but only about half as intense as the last one. The dice are blown forward towards the edge of the table, then hits the rim to bounce back to the middle. The pair totals to a 3--a losing roll.

SP [ 50% ]

"Guh...rrrahps," the dealer mutters while grabbing the chips off the table.

Shit. This is going well.
Will you keep trying? Or will you try something else?
