A pickaxe should open this up.

Game Instructions: This will yield the remains of what was inside, but not a living companion. It will refund your ha'penny.

Challenge information

A matter of luck: The odds are against you here (success chance: 40%)

Success

Died in the shell

Whatever was meant to break forth died centuries ago. This egg is long pre- the Fall. Perhaps from before any city was pulled into the Neath.

Alternative Success

"Good god!"

You may not be an ornithologist, but you can be reasonably certain that a human arm is not the usual thing found in an egg. Is this not, in fact, an egg? Could it be the pellet from some man-eating owl?

Failure

Some kind of prank?

The egg shatters. The contents tumble forth. A full skeleton – neatly folded to fit inside. The legs are tucked to the chest. The arms are folded above the knees. It is missing, however, one key piece.

Alternative Failure

Not even any meat on it

The egg falls apart to reveal a long, thick bone. An excellent toy to occupy a dog, but not much immediate use to you. You could probably find a buyer. Londoners can find a use for anything.[...]
