Holly's Non Plus Ultra - Dan

Holly's Non Plus Ultra was ultra minus'd. After a slow bleed - more of an occasional trickle, really - it perished. Dorchester was reduced to a single hit point but then it was revived by a renegade healing spell, for which we should all go and angry-emoji @Scottmi. Luxury Navy Flake has been found farting in the general direction of all the other blends and seems to be immune to flesh wounds, so we might have to bust out some herrings.

When I removed the + and - rule, I believed I'd be releasing some trigger-happy Doc Hollidays, or at least a Sundance Kid or two. Instead, everybody's whipping out their best Mother Teresa and tending to the wounded. Sure, this should warm our hearts as to the goodness of humanity, but that's the problem with goodness: it always creeps up at the worst moment! You might love scotch, but if you ordered bourbon, then the scotch is unwelcome. In this case, I've been delivered kindness, but I'd ordered anarchy with a side of chaos and truffle fries.
