Nala's choice

This came about in a tournament in which the objective is to maximize one's score, not necessarily win the game; of course, Nala's AI wasn't doing that, anyway.

Anyway, Nala has an interesting decision here.  Is it better to capture with the 8-sided die (and if so, which die should she capture?)  Or to capture with the mood-swing die and who knows what may happen?

And -- given that I'm playing in a tournament in which all I care about is my total score, I might prefer her to reroll the  mood-swing. If I lose the round, fine, I have more chances to play rounds in which I'm able to keep my f(20); and if I win the round, I might capture a mood-swing with more than 3-sides.
