Thieving Imp (item)

Thieving Imp is an item.

Standard Use

 * 4 random items from the random item-givers pool are shown. The user chooses 1 of the 4 items to receive, which causes the Imp to lose 1 of 20 "charges", then if the Thieving Imp hasn't lost all "charges", it moves to a random other player's inventory. (The Imp is removed from the game if it has 0 "charges".) If it enters another player's inventory, the 3 items not chosen are still available for the next use, though the chosen item is replaced with a random item from the pool. Note that it's possible for more than 1 of the same item to appear among the 4 at the same time.

Passive Effect

 * On the 3rd Effects Phase after entering a player's inventory, the Thieving Imp steals an item from the player and moves to a random other player's inventory. (Note that the items for the Imp's standard use won't change due to this.)
 * The Imp tends to lose a "charge" when the passive effect activates, though the admin Dysprosium has stated the coding for this is a bit random.
 * If put inside or taken out of a Magic Hat, the 3 count isn't reset.
 * If the stolen item was a Deadly Item, the Imp dies instead of moving to another player.
 * Soulbound items cannot be stolen by the Imp.
 * The Imp still moves to another player's inventory if it cannot steal an item.

Event Use

 * Give to the Greedy Goblin of the Archaeology Dig; instantly beats the challenge.

 * Feed to The Bear! in the Mellow Bear subevent to avoid being killed.
