One of the things that I liked best about the HQ2 Continuum draft was that it told you exactly how to pull them out of your arse. I had the same problem as you: "How many mastery runes does Black Eater have? I know it's a lot, but . . . " HQ2 gives the narrator a mechanic that depends on what has already happened and how successful the players have been.
I realize you asked the question about HQ1, not HQ2. But I think it was pretty much a problem for all HQ1 narrators. And the only answer I ever came up with was to fix the resistance based on what I wanted the outcome to be. HQ2 is much more elegant about getting to kind of the same result.
