Challenge information
A matter of luck: The odds are against you here (success chance: 40%)
Success
Annotated

- You've lost 1 x Pelagic Egg, Untreated
- You've lost 1 x Possessing an Egg (hidden)
Alternative Success
A melancholy thought
[...] not dissimilar in texture to the Bazaar's spires. Within that lies a hodgepodge [...]

- You've gained 2 x Withered Tentacle
- You've lost 1 x Possessing an Egg (hidden)
Failure
A message?
The liquid within the egg reacts violently to the air [...] freezing solid in a series of sharp rifle-cracks. [...]
By the time the ice melts nothing remains of your egg – except for three chitinous plates, each engraved with a single, steaming sigil.- You've gained 3 x Correspondence Plaque
- You've lost 1 x Pelagic Egg, Untreated
- You've lost 1 x Possessing an Egg (hidden)
Alternative Failure
Empty

- You've gained 5 x Flask of Abominable Salts
- You've lost 1 x Pelagic Egg, Untreated
- You've lost 1 x Possessing an Egg (hidden)
