Oh, yay! A Tess problem!

Have I mentioned that I love null dice? Tess is not the greatest recipe, of course,
but I still love puzzles involving null dice.

Actually, maybe this only involves them tangentially. Isn't my best bet to get the 20-sided to survive? But should I take the shadow 16? or maybe something else?

I'd take the 2, just to reduce the possibility of losing the d20.
