Blizzard and Mountain Pass

By Edriss, in Talisman Rules Questions

Hello,

I'm under the effect of a Blizzard ("For two rounds, all characters, no matter what Region they are in, may only move one space per turn").

1/ Should I roll the die on the Mountain Pass ? ("On your next turn, instead of your normal move, roll 1 die: 1-3) No way across; encounter this space again ; 4-5) Move away normally ; 6) Move to the Lost City").

2/ If yes, and I roll 4 or 5, can I roll the die for movement or should I move only 1 space because of Blizzard ?

Thanks in advance !

1) Yes, this is considered a movement test. You must roll according to the space instructions.

2) On a 4-5 result, you default to whatever is your normal movement at that moment is. In this case, the Blizzard dictates this, so you can only move 1 space.

Interesting question!

I agree with Sanity. :)

It's like being a Toad enslaved at the Temple. You have to roll to "test" your movement (ie break from enslavement, navigate the mountain pass) and then move away "normally" (ie the die roll, or with Blizzard, Poltergeist, Toad, Baba Yaga Hut, etc.)
