Some questions

By Croonos, in Talisman

Someone knows if there was published official clarifications for some of below qestions? I think they need to be cleared:

1) Can we use Mesmerism to take enslaved Black Unicorn from other character or raised form dead Ghoul’s follower?

2) What if a character lost enslaved Black Unicorn - is killed, turn into frog or should leave it in Cell – does the Black Unicorn stays on the board and is considered as a follower or enemy or should be discarded? The same is with Ghoul’s raised from dead follower?

3) Can I discard Poltergeist by crossing bridge near to City and Village? What if I do not want to discard Poltergeist, can I keep it although I cross the river?

4) What should we do with enslaved enemy if other Character takes form us Staff Of Mastery? Can he also take enslaved enemy?

5) Can a character put a Barrier or on the space that it lands on? If a Barrier is put on one space does a Character have to move other direction only or can he move fewer spaces than roll a die and stop before a Barrier?

6) If a character is about to lose 2 last lives (e.g. defeated by Mummy) can we use Elixir Of Life after the first loss and then second time? If using Elixir Of Life I roll 2 on a die do I have to lose second point of life?

7) If a Character draws a Hunchback out of the Dungeon (during Dark Denizens) should it be discarded?

8) Can the Monk use Sword of Light and Aegis in psychic combat although he could not used them in battle during the same turn?

9) Can a Character kill a dragon in Cave for completing “Kill One Dragon” Warlock Quest?

10) If using Fireball or one of the Summon Spells or Wand of Dragonfire second character lost a life can we engage a normal battle (or psychic combat) with him during the same turn? If I attacked another character with mentioned stuff and make a loss do I have to engage a normal battle after that according to sentence” you may use it when you are about to engage in battle…”

Nothing official on some of these IIRC.

#1: No. They don't have the Follower keyword.

#2: Discarded. That was the official answer to the Ghoul's followers. There's a thread in the Rules section.

#3: Yes. Too lazy to check the wording to see if it's "may" or just discard.

#4: Umm, yes I think.

#5: I think the wording allows this, not sure on the timing of the Spell. I'd say stops before the Barrier.

#6: Umm, ask again later gran_risa.gif (too many cards and wordings to check out)

#7: I hope they'll rule this yes in the next FAQ.

#8: Sure, Monk and Priest are only prevented from using Weapons in battle, psychic combat Weapons are allowed.

#9: I'd say yes.

#10: I think those Spells are meant to be used in battle (IIRC, most/all of them have the word "battle" in their wording), so no psychic combat on the turn your Fireball someone. Personally, I think these Spells are meant to be cast in Step 2 in battle (Cast Spells).

Answer 1: no. You can't take followers who don't have the follower keyword

Answer 2: as someone mentioned before. If you are forced to ditch a animal, Black unicorn, or minion etc then it must be discarded.

Second option: If you ditch the animal, black unicorn, or minion, then it will become a enemy again. ( we put also the animals etc in the cell) logical..)

answer 3: You must discard the Poltergeist as soon as you cross the river. ( bridge included..)

Answer 4. If a other character takes the staff of mastery. Then the enslave enemy is still inside the staff of mastery

answer 5 : i need to check the card, but i think that you can not cast it on a occupied space where a character stands..

answer 6: If you lose your last two lives, then you could use the elixer immediately after losing the first life. However, you can not use it after losing your last life, because then you are death. If you roll a 2, then you lose a extra life ( so 3 lives total)

answer 7: this has not been clarified yet. But it should be possible that you can keep the hunchback on the main board.

answer 8: i need to check the card...

answer 9: i think that you may complete the quest if you kill the dragon in the cave.

answer 10: before the attack roll, you may use the wand of dragon fire on your opponent ( i believe you can do the same with fireball (when casting spells)

Thanks for the answers. It looks that some rules are difficult to interpretation so in my opinion it should be clarified in updated FAQ.

11. Can I use the Cloak Of Feathers (Treasure card) to teleport from Plain Of Peril straight to Crown of Command space?

11. Can I use the Cloak Of Feathers (Treasure card) to teleport from Plain Of Peril straight to Crown of Command space?

Yes.

The card says normal movement (same as transference) so you can discard the cloak to land on the COC, if you are standing on the Plain of Peril or somewhere else in the inner region..

However, this is not clarified, but it works the same way as Transference gui%C3%B1o.gif

It's a very powerful treasure card.

12. If another Character defeated me in battle and forced me to take the Spirit of Vengeance do I have to take it as a Follower or can I engage a psyhic combat with it first? Is there any other way to ditch Spirit of Vengeance? Can I leave it in Cell, Chasm etc.?

You have to take it. Getting rid of SoV? Toad works gran_risa.gif . Cell yes if SoV is your only Follower (since Cell is must IIRC).

#1: No. They don't have the Follower keyword.

#9: I'd say yes

#1 So what are the actions that interact with cards kept as Followers (but not with the Follower keyword)? Does Black Unicorn add two points to the Gladiator Strenght? Does the Hag get rid you of Black Unicorn or other such cards? Can you sacrafice them to the Leper or in Vampire's Tower? Can Ghoul's or Minstrel's Followers become a Werewolf? Can you lose them in Cell or Chasm?

#9 Can Priest use his ability to destroy ghosts in the Tomb or in the Crags? Does the Holy Lance add 3 points to Strenght in battle with the Dragon from Cave?

#1: Black Unicorn gives its normal boost of +1/+1 and if the Gladiator uses it in battle, gets +1 from his relevant ability. Hag clears the Follower section of your character. IIRC, you can sacrifice them as normal. They can become WW and you do lose them (or roll at Chasm). They count as Followers for that character, but other characters can't affect them with abilities that target Followers (Mesmerism, Sorceress, etc).

#9: None of those are Spirits, they are Creatures that attack in psychic combat. I'd say yes, you get +3.
