Hello all. I've been messing around with Malifaux since it released but only just started getting serious about it. We have a pretty decent grasp on the general rules but we have a few questions about specific ability situations. If an ability does not specify it's duration does it last until the end of the game? For example: Cassandra's ability "Southern Charm" merely says that all attacks and Damage flips against her receive [-]. Does this last until the end of the activation, turn, or game? If a mannequin is linked to Colette and she does one of her model swaps with another performer the Mannequin pushes to be in base contact at the end of her activation. Does it push directly into contact with her ignoring other models and terrain? Or can it merely be picked up and placed into base contact anywhere on her base? A model is engaged and must go through the disengage process if it is within melee range of an enemy model or is it only if they are in base to base? I think that is everything we are wondering about at the moment. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My wife and I also started out with Rasputina vs Lilith. I am by no means an expert with Lilith but one technique that served me well was to make liberal use of Lilith's ability to summon an illusionary forest. Then use the transposition spell to port Rasputina into the middle of a herd of demons.
