Why are the Villains so easy in AToE?

[jimbal]

we finally got a chance to play ATOE the other day...I think we screwed around too much and also rushed into the fight because we were losing getting roflpwned by cards dropping the tracker really quickly and amping up the Scarecrows HP. One of our players dipped out right near the end before we went to fight....it was hilarious because the rest of the team got koed pretty fast and his character not only survived but won the encounter and the game in his absence. I really liked ATOE and look forward to getting into some more advanced rules since we played basics. My brother has the base and Something Wicked, we didn't tap into SW yet so that should add lots more fun in. Too bad his punk ass is leaving for Mississippi soon.
