Question regarding go up a level and endgame

boomshay · 12-29-2015, 12:04 AM

4 player game

Players:
Rich combat level 7
Michael level 8 elf, combat level 10
Matt
Becky

Rich kicks down the door to find a level 9 monster
Michael offers to help for 1 treasure (no one realizes he's an elf)
Rich agrees
Option is given to Matt and Becky to interfere, both shake their head.

Michael plays go up a level card and points out that he is an elf for the victory.

Matt then tries to play a BO card (would force Rich to play combat with no helpers)
Party agrees Matt was too late because they already had the option to interfere and passed.

Party gives Michael the victory due to everyone's ignorance of his elf card, but would like a clear answer on if the GUAL card was played fairly.

The GUAL was played fairly. However, the BO card also would have been a legal play. There's no "speak now or forever hold your peace" about interfering in combat, even your own, except for the "reasonable time" rule -- and Michael's play of the GUAL changed the conditions of the fight, meaning that the other players (incliuding Matt) have a chance to respond.

Thanks for the response.

The only followup I have, do other players have the chance to interfere AFTER Michael points out his elf bonus?

To be more clear, once Michael plays his GUAL and Becky and Matt both have the option to interfere, if they decline can they still interfere once Michael claims victory with his elf card? Or would combat be considered over at that point?
