Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Dont worry Apollo- we got your back.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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

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

BSG

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.

I have COs for the other players:

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Helo: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Adama: 1 card
Boomer: no cards

Cards

Yellow 2
Yellow 2
Green 3
Green 5
Purple 2
Blue 2

Result: 12 - 4 = 8. Pass - no effect.

Next, raiders activate and shoot at Apollo:

Raider 1: 6. Hit! But Apollo plays an EM-1. Reroll at -2:
Raider 1a: 1 - 2 = -1. Doesn't get more evasive than that.
Raider 2: 6. Hit! But Apollo plays another EM (2).Reroll at -2:
Raider 2a: 3 - 2 = 1. Miss.
Raider 3: 4. Miss.

Finally, there's no jump icon. That concludes Boomer's turn. Apollo, I'm sending you your cards. (Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green.) When you're ready, please post your move and action.
