10/1/2005	If the third ability triggers, removing a counter in response won't stop the effect. However, somehow removing Plague Boiler from the battlefield in response would stop the effect because then you wouldn't be able to sacrifice Plague Boiler.
10/1/2005	The sacrifice is done on resolution of the triggered ability.
