Never turn back!

By costolaz, in Talisman Rules Questions

most people think that a player reaching the inner region is going to win! but.. what if...

- can the spell misdirection force a player to trigger the "turn back rule" in the inner region?
- if i turn back from inner region to portal of power, do i encounter the space (or character)?
- if i fail a roll on the mines/cryot and get teleported on the portal of power, do i encounter the space (or character)?
- if i fail a roll on the mines/crypt, and get teleported on the plain of peril, can i encounter a player on this "exit" space?

the dungeon is coming.. babeo.gif

1) Surely Misdirection can work, but it's limited on Plain of Peril only. There a Character actually "chooses" his path and Misdirection has some sense; in other Inner Region spaces you can't force him to Turn Back with this Spell (he has no choice about the direction). Once I used Misdirection and forced the Warrior to take the Craft Path with only 4 Craft... he emerged in the City, of course, and was toaded for good. partido_risa.gif

2) Of course you do. Movement from the Inner Region to Middle Region is one single movement from Plain of Peril to Portal of Power Space. It's in the Rulebook.

3-4) When you are teleported to a space, your Turn continues on that space (see flow chart) and you can encounter space or Characters (if able).

I was such a bastard last night. I had got kicked back to the portal of power and my mate had made it to the vampire so when I got to the plains of peril I cast the switch places spell.

Much mocking ensued.
