MOVEMENT Stay in Weapons. ACTION Fire on that Crystal Meth MoFo in Sector 1 INTERRUPT I play my purple jobber that gives a boost to the die roll to hopefully blow that puppy out of our area.
One little escape from certain death and you'd think he's started mainlining the red cordial. (For those who are interested, that was a Purple jobber-4 that Boomer played.) Ok, Galactica fires on the basestar:
Roll:
6 + 2 = 8. Hit! Let's check out the damage:
Disabled Weapons.
This basestar is no longer able to fire at Galactica. It can still launch raiders and heavy raiders.
Crisis time! Your crisis is:
Crippled Raider
Current player's choice
Boomer, when you are ready, please post whether you choose the skill check or die roll.
BSG
I can help a little on the skill check.
BSG
I'm afraid if we fail we lost! I'm leaning towards a roll. Humans, what do you think?
BSG
I have no cards, so I'm leaning towards a roll also. Being out of cards means I have no purple jobbers to help with the roll, though.
Hee. I just have to interject to say that from the lurkers' seats, this is all very exciting. What will happen next?
BSG
I have no cards, so I'm leaning towards a roll also.
Ya, that's what I was looking at. And the good Doctor can only help a little.
Game Master. Roll the bone, if you please.
Oh god, humanity's fate cast upon the die.
The humanity! Wait, that sounds weird in this context...
BSG
Boomer has chosen the die roll, and passed on interrupts,
Roll:
5. Pass. No ships for you.
The rest of the card states:
Cylon Activation:
Raiders. The basestar, incensed that you thwarted its plans, disgorges two raiders.
Jump Prep:
Yes.
That concludes Boomer's turn. Staff Sgt Adama, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready please post your move and action.
