Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

AKA Raq's Husband

Well, you can add Sarcastica (Raq) to that list, as well as Randomicus, Kosoto-gari, and Uglipuss (mine). I'm all bluff and bluster, though -- my brutes are truly awful. My favorite activity is watching them throw weapons away like they're deciding on a pair of shoes -- and then finding themselves as the idiots who have nothing but fists at the sword fight.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

oh goodness I have so many brutes. I haven't fought them in ages though. They're probably getting ready to rise up like Spartacus out of sheer bordeom. Technically Mom Thing isn't a buffista but she is (as my literal mother) buffista-adjacent.

In addition to the ones omnis mentioned, I also run Roonil Wazlib, Stabby Jane, William Bendix, Jax Merkin, Lagartija Morado, Hairy Poker, Le Lezard Volent, Lucertola con Aglio and a handful more I can't recall off the top of my head.

Good grief, and I thought I had a lot of Brutes.

Omnis, I tried to send one of my own brutes to let Peeeeeeeev know that if you mess with one viper pilot, you mess with the whole Galactica, but I couldn't find him. Seems he decided to only use 8 of his 10 e's, and I was out of fights before I figured it out.

I can never remember how many e's. I don't try. But since you volunteered for a kicking: [link]

Well my 'fredIsWhiskey brute kicked his butt! Didn't hit her once!

Pffft. Bloody animals. They are crazy powerful. I once faced a bear that took 80 points of damage and was still standing. Really, WTF?

There were a couple days where I wanted to keep fighting but I was out of brutes so I'd just keep making more.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I also have Evil-Laugh, Grr-Arghhh, and ZanyAlphaToddler. They're all at either 5 or 6, I think.

Oh, and Alterdude who is DH's.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My brutes are:

Billytea (it wasn't taken! Craziness!)
Duncan Donitz
Tachyglossus (my special needs brute)
Spiny Norman
Word Fails Me
Mother Farquhar
OhTheHumanitea

Your President has chosen the crisis:

Resistance
Skill Check 12 YGP

We shall, as ever, pause for interrupts (IC and SR). You can send me COs for the check itself too if you wish.

Baltar shall not interrupt. And I can help (surprise surprise) a little.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Boomer has no interupts, and can help a little.

Peeeeeeeeev just hit level 12 and got a strength boost. Like he needed it.

He managed to finish off a brute backed up by a bear with just a little knife. Good times.
