Oath of Honor

By abnr, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi all,

This situation happened last night and I was wondering If could have used oath of honor in it.

This was on encounter 1 of the dawnblade (Act 2 Quest) and the overlord blocked us on the sewers with 2 shadow dragons like so:

HH DD DD

KH DD DD

DD DD

Red D is for master dragon black D for normal.

Could I the knight (K) have used oath of honor to bypass all the way to the other side of both dragons?

- My reasoning was no, because I couldn't attack the master dragon since there were no emtpy adjacent spaces to it.

If the answer is yes and if the heroes position was like so:

HH

HK

Could I still have used oath of honor skill to do the same teleport, notice the knight is already adjacent to the dragon?

Somehow related question, our wildlander had the Crossbow that allow us to move the monster, would she be able to move the master dragon in any way?

I'm pretty sure this is a no since he doesn't have anywhere to move, just making sure

Thank you

You could have used oath of honor, however the "closest empty space" would not be past the dragons. Just because you couldnt make the attack doesn't mean you can't use oath- but you would not get a free attack on another monster.

The dragon would be forced to expand exactly how it is already, so that surge would do no good for you.

I didn't understand, what would be the "closest empty space" in that situation then?

Would it be back where the knight started the action? I thought the space where the knight is counts as not empty for the skill...

I understand what you want to do. But Oath of Honor does not work like that. It is not meant to bypass monsters. Its meant to allow you to move and attack with 1 action. The card is basically not usable in the situation you are showing because there is no empty space available for you to place your model adjacent to the monster your ally hero is adjacent to.

Ok got it, I assumed I couldn't do it.

I guess I would only be able to use it if the overlod left a space in between the dragons, where I would be able to place the hero adjacent to the red dragon, is this correct?

Also thank you for the clarification :)

There is no empty space adjacent to the monster. If you are already adjacent, your space would be the closest one. I am not aware of a specific ruling that "your space doesn't count" Though that may be the case.
