All Sprout wanted to do was learn about chess. A leather book embossed with a rook on it's cover in gold leaf caught the ex-sherrif's eye. No title to it, strangely enough. While the lack of a title should have been a red flag, Sprout's curiosity and naivete cause him to read it anyway.
Cozy Glow? What did somepony named Cozy Glow have to do with chess?
Sprout was about to find out...

This story was originally written for the Cozy Glow contest, but missed the deadline due to busy IRL circumstances. I hope you enjoy regardless.

You'll have to explain WTF that even is before I start reading. I can see the DC in the chapter titles, so I'm assuming it's based in part on how D&D dice roles work.

Literally the purpose of the first chapter. It is explained. But I'll add it to the long description too.
this was a fun play. i like this concept a lot :)
Here some sound you can play when rolling a dice LOL
That was an interesting concept for a story. I had fun playing along.
11712689 i don't think cozy would be turned to stone by the elements of harmony as she was turned to stone by discord at the end of g4 and cozy will be free in a 1000 years like discord was as no villain is truly gone for long the only way to truly be done with a villain is to reformed them which just like twilight sunny and her friends never did with cozy i hope i'm not being mean i'm just thought you should know if you don't also cozy and allies did not attack the ponies after a month they did it pretty quickly like i don't think a day pass before they were turned a stone
but i hope you have a good day i just wanted to tell nothing rude I just wanted to let you know if that's okay 
Despite 80% odds to the contrary, this was the first ending I got. Figures, huh?

Same for me. I guess it was the failure that mattered the most? XD Was a fun read though.
