Greetings,

Just a quick question in regards to Mirklace's aura power.

I am looking at the Agent version of the card and I will assume that the Lieutenant's version is the same as well.

Aura X: Each time a hero enters a space adjacent to Gargan Mirklace, that hero suffers X heart.

Can " enters a space adjacent " be:

1. when a hero uses a movement point to be adjacent to Mirklace ( I will assume yes);
2. when the hero is knocked back or thrown to a space adjacent to Mirklace; and
3. when Mirklace moves to an adjacent space of a hero.

Also, if a hero tries to move around Mirklace and enters a space more than once on his turn, does the aura apply each time or is it a once per turn ability?

If this question was asked in the past, please provide the link.

Many thanks.

1 and 2, yes. Both of those constitute a "hero entering a space" which is "adjacent to Mirklace."

3, no. Mirklace entering a space adjacent to a hero is not a hero entering a space adjacent to Mirklace. Figures only "enter" spaces when they move into them. "Existing" is not the same as "entering." One is passive, the other is active. For the ability to trigger, a hero must actively move into a space adjacent to Mirklace, by their own control (movement point, remove and place abilities...) or not (knockback.) Dark Charm would not work, since the hero is treated as a monster during that movement.

The triggering condition is a hero figure moving (by any means) into a space adjacent to Mirklace. Each time a hero does this, the ability would trigger, since there is no "once per round" or other timing limit.

1 and 2, and yes it can trigger each time one of thoses conditions are met.

Zelgadis,

Told you so!

Zelgadis,

Hmmmm ...

Me thinks we have two players who participate within the same group !

I was going to win a campaign with Gargan's Aura, once...

I was 1 lousy turn away from winning The Black Realm. I had fatigued out the dang necromancer so she couldn't "Army of Death" me, and no other hero was in range to attack me, except the knight, who had 2 health left, and no "Reach." I had attacked the Bard (who was separated from the group) with Rylan last turn, and chose to stun him. Bad move. I REALLY should have immobilized him. He moved toward the knight, ended his turn and healed her 1 damage, allowing the knight to walk right up to me and swing, slaying Mirklace. That was a close game...

Our group just purchased manor of Ravens (IOW, Zelgadis did)

And we were just marvelling at how nasty that aura is, trying to find ways to use it and ways to defend against it.

The player currently acting as OL had fun throwing the ravens in our collective faces...
