Summary

I'm working on a small fortune telling script where the player picks a card.  I made a few common events where the picture of the card will pop up on screen and give a message.  I need to make it so the card common event that is shown is random.  And I don't know how to set the code to simply pick a random common event from numbers 1-5.   I want it to simply be:  Choose your card.  Player chooses a card.  Random Common Event for card pops up....

I want it to simply be:  Choose your card.  Player chooses a card.  Random Common Event for card pops up.

I can get it to pop up any card common event on its own, and even a few at once, but I need to make this random.  I'm just not doing it right.  This is a screenshot of what I've done so far.
