i quote Butaman551 from another thread.

A figure entering a space containing lava immediately suffers one damage. Any figure that ends its turn in a lava space is immediately defeated."

So if the OL, on his turn, uses Dark Charm, an Ettin's Throw or whatever to force a hero to move into a Lava space, would the hero be defeated at the end of the OL's turn? The rules state this only happens at the end of the figures turn. As silly as it sounds, it seems like the only way a hero can be defeated by the OL moving them into Lava would be if the hero chooses not to move on his next turn.

Any opinions?

Throw the hero in lava (or play trip cards/stun cards/web cards when he/she moves through) and immobilize him/her. Unless the hero can get rid of the immobilize condition and move out at the end of his/her turn, he/she is defeated. Rules are pretty clear in my eyes at least

Assuming that's the official text, it says ends " its " turn (the hero's own turn). I would also say if a hero used a feat that let another hero move, since it's not that hero's own turn, they could move into lava, take the damage, and not be defeated as long as they moved out of the lava by the end of their next turn.

The way I read it, the hero would take 1 damage for "entering a space containing lava", but would not be defeated until the end of the hero's turn. Although turns are taken serially for playability, a round represents simultaneous events by multiple actors. The hero gets a chance to move clear of danger before succumbing.

I'm assuming that a lava space does not represent a deep pool of lava, otherwise the figure would be defeated in short order. More likely it represents something like fissured ground with lava below the surface -- extremely hot with occasional eruptions of scalding gases, choking fumes, and spatters of molten rock.

[Deja vu, all over again!]
