A single die.
A 4 panel grayscale comic featuring a king sitting on his throne with a smart phone titled "The Whale King Part 2: He Can Afford It".
Panel 1.
The king is looking angrily down at the phone.
King: Blast it! Why do I always lose this stupid game so close to victory?
Panel 2.
We see the phone from the king's perspective. It shows a sad blob and asks "Need a Life?" The next life is in 10 minutes or costs a gem.
King: And now I must sit here like a fool waiting for it to let me try again! Unless...
Panel 3.
The phone now shows a "Gem Shop" page. He is on the tab showing gems can be bought for coins at a rate of about 3 per coin with bonuses for bulk purchases. There are also tabs for furniture, weapons, and people.
King: I mean... I do have a lot of gold. I could part with a few coins.
Panel 4.
Cut back out to a close up of the king cheerily making a purchase. The phone makes a kaching sound.
King: Ah, heck with it. Gimme some Gummy Gems!
