Sichae's Apple Bobbing

Shop. Pay 2 gold (default) to bob for apples in barrels. Random outcomes include gems, gold, HP, turns, or nothing. 3 attempts per day (default). Sichae is mysteriously beautiful and her laugh makes you relax, which is not at all suspicious.

Location

Sichae's Apple Bobbing Stand appears in the village market navigation. Look for "Sichae's Apple Bobbing" in the shops section.

How It Works

You approach barrels filled with red, yellow, and green apples. Sichae stands with hands on hips in jade and blue silk garments, regarding you with a mysterious smile. Her lithe muscles flex as she pads over.

She says: "Ah! A visitor to the realms! So you think you can do this, do you? It shall be amusing to see you try." She laughs beautifully. "2 gold to show me what talent you possess. And one of the apples is special indeed."

Pay 2 gold (default, configurable) per attempt. You can bob 3 times per day (default, configurable). Results are random.

Requirements

Cost: 2 gold per attempt (default)

Daily Limit: 3 attempts (default)

Stomach Capacity: If you've already eaten 3 apples, your stomach protests and you can't play anymore today

Gold Requirement: If you don't have enough gold, you can't play

Possible Outcomes

The module implementation uses lib/apples.php (external library file) for the actual bobbing results. Typical outcomes from apple bobbing modules include:

  • Gem Find: Special golden apple = +1 gem
  • Gold Prize: Win gold (varies by apple type)
  • HP Gain: Delicious apple = heal some HP
  • Turn Gain: Energizing apple = +1 turn
  • Nothing: Regular apple, just tastes nice
  • Negative: Rotten apple = lose HP or get debuff

Results are weighted random based on apple colors and rarity.

Sichae's Character

Sichae is described in loving detail: silken jade/blue garments, lithe muscles, delicate neck, deep beautiful laugh that makes you relax. She's mysteriously confident about your chances. This level of character description for a simple apple bobbing vendor is either very dedicated world-building or someone had a crush on their OC. We're not judging.

Strategy

Low Cost: 2 gold per attempt is trivial. Always use all 3 daily attempts unless you're desperately broke.

Expected Value: Depends on reward probabilities in lib/apples.php. Generally positive EV if gems are possible.

Timing: Use attempts early in the day so if you gain turns/HP, you can use them immediately.

Sichae's Apple Bobbing: where you pay gold to dunk your face in water and hope for treasure. A dignified pursuit befitting a wizard of your stature.
