* PlagueOfGoodFortune: Rowena gets a natural 20 on an attack roll followed by a 100 on a roll to determine the effects of the critical hit, all but guaranteeing an instant kill... on an attack that a cursed sword was forcing her to make against an ally.
* RecordNeedleScratch: Plays whenever the players or DM break character, usually to explain or talk through something that is confusing them or for the DM to "rewind time" and re-narrate what happens in light of player actions.
