Siegery is a game that utilizes siegery toys (miniatures) made in the likeness of a person or creature that can battle it out with other miniatures or siegery pieces. These items received an update in 2015 and now feature an analyze and customization aspects. Siegery cases allow for easy repair of the miniatures and can store up to twelve at a time.

Soldier Miniature

Soldier miniatures are foot soldiers that can fight individually in matches or as part of a full set in a larger siegery battle. Solider miniatures come as different base types, including sorcerer, ranger, wizard, and warrior types, which can be determined via the soldier miniature's ANALYZE.

Case

Analyze

You analyze your silver repair case and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "There do not seem to be any specific limitations."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This case is designed to hold Siegery pieces.  Closing the case will repair any damage to Siegery pieces contained within.  The repair process takes twenty seconds, during which time the case is locked.  At the end of the repair time, the case will unlock itself.

It is fully alterable, but please note the script provides a description which must make sense for any alteration.

Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the case's pockets could get any deeper, but you might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the silver repair case for you.

SHOW

A small metal plate is affixed above the hasp.  The interior is divided into twelve tiny compartments, each carefully lined with soft felt.

Usage

Verb First
CLOSE You close a brass-hinged dark leather siegery case.

As you close the leather siegery case, you hear a sharp metallic click followed by a mechanical whirring sound from deep within the case.

The faint, mechanical whirring within your leather siegery case stops, followed by a soft click.
