Episode 14: Bezaliel the Apostate

Meh. Gotta die some time…

Why don't you use a power or draw a card?

Because I forgot it's the Tome that's doing the "bad stuff when you draw" thing. Thanks for reminding me! Will edit my turn.

Don't forget that Fanatic gets an extra hitpoint from Redeem, as well.

What, in addition to the one I already healed? From where?

Silverleaf, you forgot to update your ending HP; maybe it's just a reference to that?

I'll take the hit and destroy Pipe Wrench--Wraith's DPS is going to be higher, anyway, once she gets Micro-Targeting Computer out.

I've made mistakes before running these games (frequently), but I don't think I've ever made one as big as FORGETTING THE GODDAMN ENVIRONMENT TURN. Sigh.

John took advantage of the slowing effect of this strange place by vaulting over the gunwale and drifting groundward slowly and gracefully... until the Wraith's grappling hook struck home and sent him tumbling.
