Zetoile Toys are snarky scripted toys with wheels.

Tier 1

Analyze

You analyze the haon soldier and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Zetoile's Toys, Snarky Wheeled Toys for the Discerning Customer

This soldier is Tier 1 out of 6 tiers.  It accepts a custom loresong (a rare service), and at tier 5, it has the possibility to have a spell added as part of a merchant service.  At tier 6, the merchant can recharge the item.  Both tier 5 and 6 spell services are rare.

Current verb traps are:
  Poke

Alteration Instructions:
  Toy must stay wooden and wheeled with a creature (humanoid or animal).  Accents of non-wood are fine (normal ALTER rules apply).  Base, long, and shows are all alterable.

You get no sense of whether or not the soldier may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb First Third
POKE You place your wood toy soldier on the ground and poke its backside gently. It wheels forward half an inch then stops, so you quickly scoop it back up. XXX places his wood toy soldier on the ground and pokes it forward an inch or so before quickly snatching it back up, glancing about the area suspiciously.

Tier 2

This tier adds HUG and TURN.

Usage

Verb First Third
HUG The wood toy soldier shrieks in protest as you pull it in for a hug, "Assault! I demand the constable!" XXX's wood toy soldier shrieks in protest as he pulls it in for a hug, "Assault! I demand the constable!"
TURN You idly turn the wheels on your wood toy soldier, stopping abruptly when it whines, "Hey! Would you want that fidgeted with if it were you?!" XXX idly turns the wheels on his wood toy soldier, stopping abruptly when it whines, "Hey! Would you want that fidgeted with if it were you?!"

Tier 3

This tier adds PULL and PUSH.

Usage

Verb First Third
PULL You yank on your wood toy soldier, and it petulantly mutters, "Stop that." XXX yanks on his wood toy soldier, and it petulantly mutters, "Stop that."
PUSH Setting your wood toy soldier on the ground, you give it a firm push. Its wheels turn quickly, zipping forward a few feet as it yells, "WHEE!!!" You retrieve the wood toy soldier, and it mutters, "Spoilsport." As XXX pushes his wood toy soldier along the ground, it zips forward a few feet yelling, "WHEE!!!" Then it mutters, "Spoilsport" as XXX picks it back up.

Tier 4

This tier adds LICK, PROD, and TAP. LICK has a one-in-twenty chance to cause a minor head injury.

Usage

Verb Outcome First Third
LICK Major splinter

Your wood toy soldier hollers, "Gross!" as you run your tongue along its length. You jerk back suddenly as a large splinter jabs into your tongue, causing a painful wound.

XXX jerks back suddenly, when his tongue hits a large splinter. The wood toy soldier smugly whispers to itself, "Serves you right."
LICK Tiny splinter Your wood toy soldier hollers, "Gross!" as you run your tongue along its length.

Inexplicably, XXX runs his tongue the length of his wood toy soldier, and it hollers, "Gross!" XXX jerks back suddenly, as if in slight pain. The wood toy soldier smugly whispers to itself, "Serves you right."
PROD Standard A quick prod to the wheels of your wood toy soldier sets them turning rapidly in the air. The wood toy soldier sarcastically comments, "It would work better if you set me on the ground, genius." XXX prods the wheels of his wood toy soldier, causing them to turn rapidly in the air. The wood toy soldier sarcastically comments, "It would work better if you set me on the ground, genius."
TAP Standard Placing the wood toy soldier down, you gently tap the wheels. Nothing happens, and a low chortle emits from it as you gather it up again. XXX places his wood toy soldier down and gently taps the wheels. Nothing happens, and a low chortle emits from the wood toy soldier as he gathers it up again.

Tier 5

This tier adds EAT and RUB. As a rare merchant service, the toy may be given a non-crumbly, non-rechargeable embedded spell with up to 40 charges, activated using RUB. RUB has a one-in-twenty chance to web the user instead. Tier 5 unlocks are not available via certificate.

Usage

Verb Outcome First Third
EAT Standard You idly gnaw on your wood toy soldier.
A pistachio wood toy soldier on malachite wheels cries in dismay, "Get your filthy mouth off me, XXX!" A pathetic whimper follows, but before you start to feel badly, it emits a barely audible, entirely wicked, chortle.
