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.

I play 2 cards.

By CO, Ellen passes on playing cards. And the cards played are...

Purple (LS) 2
Purple (LS) 2
Purple (SP) 3
Purple (CS) 3
Red (RI) 5
Treachery (GP) 2
Blue (SR) 4

Tally: 17 - 4 = 13. Fail!

However! By CO, President Roslin plays a DE-5 to reduce the difficulty by 2. The check passes! The Fleet is now 1 Distance closer to Kobol!

No Treachery cards are triggered by the check's Recklessness.

Finally, the basestar launches 3 more raiders. That concludes Ellen's turn. Helo, I'm sending you your cards. You skip your move and action on your first turn, so once I've dealt with all the administration, it'll be time for another Crisis.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

President Roslin, any advice on this one? I am cooking up some Caprican spaghetti while I ponder the options. This one seems to be less ambiguous, at least.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Bah. A streak of Morale dropping is not what I had in mind, but I think I'd hate to lose Fuel and a raptor more. We haven't even used that raptor!

It's such a good Raptor too! Her name is Susan!

I choose Option 1.
