In my current game the Castle storerooms have 4 silver dragons!
Probability: 1 in 6561 (0.015%).[*]

And I hoped to find a black or a blue dragon there, to get the
resistances that I'm still missing.

[*] The probability for 4 equal-colored dragons of any color is
9 times higher (~0.15%), of course.

After that four-of-a-kind event, here's a five-of-a-kind...

Just observed at NAO: after praying player Helge was given the
tune to open the castle's drawbridge;

You hear a divine music... It sounds like: "BBBBB".

Probability: 1 in 16807 (0.006%).[*]

If "BBBBB" is "_divine_ music" then, WRT music, "boring as _hell_"
shall be redefined.

Janis

[*] 0.04% for any set of 5 equal notes.

It's probably the first five notes of "Onwards Christian Soldiers"...
