The raiders feel the ire of the Doctor:
Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. 2 raiders destroyed!
I just love how many cards were burned for "no effect".
14 cards played by the humans and Leoben for that check, though one of those cards allowed the draw of 6 cards. So I guess we have a net cost of 8 cards. Poor Cottle had to empty his trust fund to afford it! Can he seek redress? Cottle's crisis card is:
Rebuild Trust
Skill Check (9 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Leoben plays first, Cottle last.
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
Too bad nobody is in the brig.
BSG (Cain)
Oh. Well. We tried so hard and got so far, and in the end, it didn't even matter.
I can only help a little. How does it look for everyone else?
BSG(Doctor Aid)
I can help a fair amount. The question is, would it help anyone if Blue were positive?
Also, given that we just drew Treachery, I kind of wish you'd kept that AAC.....
BSG (Cain)
As do I. Wish we had another one.
Positive Blue would not help me.
BSG (Leoben)
I can help regardless of whether blue is positive. (I can never remember how much we can say without violating secrecy rules)
BSG (Hoshi)
With so few cards positive, and so many cards drained from that last check, should we just tank, and conserve cards?
BSG
I can help regardless of whether blue is positive. (I can never remember how much we can say without violating secrecy rules)
You can say that you can or can't help. You can say that you can help a lot or a little (or, if playing multiple cards, medium). In this context, you can certainly say whether you think making Blue positive us a good or a bad idea. What you can say about how it affects your own ability to help is a bit of a grey area, but you can check with me if you're not sure of something.
One thing that players can do but usually don't: you can say whether your contribution to a check was high or low (or if multiple cards, medium). That can help people playing later in the check to decide how much they should play.
BSG (Cottle)
Sorry, been caught up playing a big game of Arkham Horror all afternoon and evening.
I think Blue Positive would be a good thing.
BSG(Doctor SCIENCE!)
I play SR-4. This Check is now YGB!
