Coryphee Duet - Sword Dance and One Fluid Motion? Can the push from the trigger be interrupted to make a strike?

two real quick questions:

1. Irresistable vs. See the Unseen - which one wins out here?

2. Mechanical Doves - if i've got two or three out, can each magical extension magicians duel, or are they limited to one per turn between them all?

thanks!

Introducing the Darkness Falls tournament, held at Top Cut comics, 5600 N. Second St. Loves Park IL, on Saturday, Feb. 23rd. This is the first installment in a series of four truly terrifying tournaments designed to test the mettle, might, and cunning of even the strongest masters in Malifaux. All of the tournaments will have a theme, and a set of befitting challenges. For Darkness Falls, we will see that there are a good many reasons to be afraid of the dark in Malifaux.

The tournament itself will consist of three 35ss games, scored in gaining grounds domination. All Strategies are shared, and in keeping with the darkness theme, will be announced before the beginning of the tournament. Factions are locked, and schemes are unique. No proxies allowed. Games with have a 1 1/2 hour time limit, with half hour breaks in between. The store opens at 11am, and cards will flip at 1230pm.

As the games progress, a number of special events or rules will come into play representing the coming darkness and the evils it may hide. Players will also have the option of spending ss on special items while hiring their crew to help them combat the encroaching darkness. The details of these are, shall we say, being kept in the dark for now.

There will be prizes for the !st, 2nd, and 3rd ranking players. There will also be an optional buy in of $5 for additional prize support. Payout from the buy in will be in the form of gift cards for Top Cut comics.

Feel free to reply or drop me a PM if you have any questions or need any clarifications.

The winner of our painting contest is the forums own justright and his December Acolyte!

Just a quick question/clarification on the first encounter in regards to the brew components.

When a model makes the (1) Interact action to collect a brew component, is a card flipped to determine the suit of the brew component?

with my kirai crew, all the spirits got the 'spooky ghost fog' treatment to their bases. basically its just cotton ball that ive ripped into little pieces and glued to their base with some white glue. pretty effective actually.
