While we're waiting on the skill check (a reminder, you can send me COs if it's not yet your turn to play), this card also contains a raider activation, which means Apollo's going to get shot at. To keep that moving smoothly, I'd like to ask all the pilots to send me COs for EM interrupts. Boomer, if more than one person wants to play an EM, you decide who plays it, as it's your turn. Could you also send me an order of preference for Apollo, Helo and you? Thanks.
BSG
Dont worry Apollo- we got your back.

In the interest of moving the game along, I will play my one card.

Both Apollo and Helo have played one card. Zarek is up next.
I'm currently awaiting the rest of the party to arrive; I'm DMing my own adventure. It's very scary knowing I'm (mostly) in control. Last time we played I wasn't prepared so I threw in three encounters from Dungeon Delve. For a minute there I thought I'd put them at too high a level and they were all going to die. Holy Raven Queen I've never seen a party roll so many natural 20s! I think there were three in a row and no fewer than 5. They slaughtered my guys. I'm tempted to make today's encounters harder but I doubt their dice can keep that up.
Whoo! Bugbear Stranglers are fun. Boy was D's ranger surprised when, insteasd of attempting to escape from strangulation, he set his wolf on the Strangler, who used the ranger as a human shield, so... the wolf's attack ended up reducing the ranger to 0 hit points.

Heh. My first experience with them was not positive. The GM misunderstood the rules, and had it doing the interpose trick with pretty much every attack instead of a maximum of once per round.
eek! These stranglers are bad enough without that!
Once again everyone was rolling natural 20s but me. I tried very hard to kill party members but they wiped out all my bad guys.
