Dice of Chancelessness (Magic Dice)

This insidious magical item was created by Huriot, an enterprising follower of Mask and the greatest Prince of Thieves that Skuld has ever known. Five centuries ago, he was captured, convicted of grave robbing, and brought to the pharaoh for his final justice. Huriot persuaded the pharaoh to let a game of chance decide his fate: If he won, he would be sold into slavery, and if he lost, he would be executed. He brought out a pair of dice.
These dice were magical, created by a great wizard. They would roll any number that the owner desired; in the hands of the owner, they would roll what he or she wanted, while in the hands of another, they would roll as the original owner desired. The pharaoh detected the magic, discovered what they were, and used his divine powers to reverse the effect.
Huriot had planned to lose the game, gambling that a display of honesty might earn a pardon from a magnanimous pharaoh. He won instead and was placed in slavery for the rest of his days. No one ever heard of Huriot again, except for an inscription in that pharaoh's tomb: “Huriot was here.”
