holy avenger card

By player1576960, in Talisman

hey guys

i have a question regarding the holy avenger, obviously if you win said battle against an evil char you gain the stats and discard it, but my gaming group has had a nasty debate without a solution on whether the follower is kept or discarded if you lose said battle. any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

I believe the Holy Avenger only ascends to the discard pile when the character defeats an evil character (you would only avenge an evil player if you were to vanquish him). Unfortunately the card can be read either way. I would have placed a semi-colon between the last two sentences and made it just one sentence!

I would suggest you send the question to John Goodenough!

Thanks i will. Is that his username on this forum? I'm having a little trouble finding it, if it is.
