Waking/Mirror Image Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

A group of people and I were playing last night, and the following
situation occurred that I have no idea what the straight of actually
should be. (That sentence probably needs to see a doctor...)

Ravnos goes to do some dirty underhanded thing to Tzimisce. Tzimisce
is tapped out on minions, but plays a Forced Awakening with "Random
Vampire." Ravnos acquires stealth, Tzmisce acquires intercept. Combat
occurs. In said combat, the dirty sneaky Ravnos plays Mirror Image at
superior (Strike: combat end. If this vampire was blocked while
performing an action other than bleeding, the action continues as if
unblocked.) So, the question that was raised is:

1.) Can "Random Vampire" attempt to block again without playing another
Forced Awakening or such after the Mirror Image gets played?

An alternative question might be: "LSJ, would you mind terribly banning
all group 2 Ravnos vampires?"...

Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, largely because the duration of Forced Awakening is "the action" and
the action was "continued" via Mirror Image instead of spawning another
action (which, to my knowledge doesn't occur with any card in the game).

IANLSJ, but I'm guessing this is a no. And Cherryholmes might be hurt,
which, as I hear, means that LSJ won't lift a finger cause it's all about
"keeping Cherryholmes happy". Or some such.

Lo and behold, for the knowledge. . . she is weak.

Sigh.

Yep. Reaction cards, by default, last for the current action - Wake has
explicit text to this effect, Forced doesn't.

Also, the Tzimisce still has the same amount of intercept.

The Portrait might spawn a bleed action.
