What it's really about
The situation
It was due yesterday. The sentence arrived at 5:48pm on a Thursday, by direct message, with no question mark. There is no question, so no possible answer — only execution.
Why those numbers
Eighteen story points, big bug, five goodies: the top of the deck. The +4 against the Barista is not free — it is the only role that truly understands a rush, so the only one the boss recognises as competition. Side effect: death. Hand and gear, all of it.
How to play it
You do not take this one out of courage. Five goodies and two levels take preparation: full gear, a pair, and preferably a one-shot in reserve.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
