Couple of questions...

[Mr Munch]

There have been times during our games that have raised questions about the correct way things should happen...

For example, one of these times was when someone avoided death by via their Phoenix Steed dying in their place, now when they roll the dice, is that player included in the people who can receive the steed once the roll occurs... e.g. there are 5 players, and a 5 gets rolled, would it go the the original player or to the person on their left?

Also, and brace yourself for another somewhat long-winded question, but... say someone who is a Cleric is engaged in a fight against a monster that they are currently winning against, and someone plays a wandering monster card along with Level 5 Undead Crawling Hand, which now makes them not winning, if the player in the fight uses the cleric's "discard a card to -3 an undead monster ability" are they only able to use it twice being as only one monster is undead and doing so would reduce its level to 0, or can they use it three times, due to there being and undead in the room, and use the third -3 against the other monster!?

And finally, the Instant wall card... is that able to be played to stop someone from fighting a monster if you wish to stop them, or is it to be used as a means of escape from a run away attempt?

Many Thanks :)

I'm pretty sure that the original owner is eligible to get the Phoenix Steed back depending on the roll.

As for the other, given that it is OK for a Monster's combat strength to go below zero, if the card text on the Cleric doesn't limit it to zero, you should be able to use it as many times as the ability allows.

Instant Wall cannot be used to force somebody to Run Away. It is only for making an escape automatic once the player had already decided to Run Away.

Nothing in the Phoenix Steed's text excludes the original owner. It's possible to roll the die (or use a Loaded Die card) to reclaim your Phoenix Steed.

In addition to the previous reply, note that it's not -3 to the monster, it's +3 to the Cleric.

Well, that's embarassing. Sorry for not double checking before responding.

Cool, thanks for your responses guys! We have been playing a wee while but different interpretations of what some cards say and how rules apply are now popping up!
