Hi! I've been playing a while longer and came up with some tough
ones:
1) Vamp A with sup. Protean is the acting minion and does the
Form of Mist trick. However the Auspexed Assamites tries to Fast Reaction
vamp A. What happens to the action and the minions?
2) Forced awakening states that "if the minon fails to block, it
burns one blood.". Does this mean that if he attempts to block and fails,
he burns a blood, or that if he doesn't block the action after the forced
awakening was played, he burns a blood? (language problem here).
3) In the rulebook it is stated that "if a methuselah is ousted
the same turn his prey is ousted, he doesn't gain 6 pool but gains the
victory point." Does this mean that if I have a weenie deck and manage to
oust 6 players in a turn with my bleeds I only gain 1 VP (for the other
meths have gained the rest)?
Thanks!

The "continue" effect of the Mist is lost if another combat is forced.
So, the Assamite gets to beat on VampA, and (unless Vamp A plays
another Form of Mist as his strike in the second round of the Reaction
combat), that's the end of the story. The action does not continue.

The latter.
If he plays Forced Awakening and does not block the action, he burns a blood.

The rulebook has errata changing "same turn" to "same time".
So, if you oust 6 players with *successive* actions, you gain
6 VP.

Just a quick question about Forced Awakening which came up while
adjudicating at UBCon...
The burnt blood is not damage, right? So, a zero blood vampire who
fails to block with FA pays no cost, since it has no blood to burn,
correct?
Thanks.

um...yes and yes, as far as i can tell. the vampire must be tapped to
play the card, and so when he plays it (assuming a male vampire here..)
he attempts to block or react as though he were untapped (without
actually untapping.)
If he tries to block: If the acting minion then plays more stealth than
the vampire blocking can get intercept, or the attemped blocker is
prevented from blocking by some other means (superior elder
impersonation, etc..) then that attempted blocker burns one blood.
if he reacts without trying to block (deflection, telepathic counter,
etc..) and thus doesn't block, he then burns one blood.
or if he just plays the card to cycle cards, and does nothing, he burns
a blood.

no no no....ousted at the same _TIME_. ie: from a vote that makes more
than one player lose all their pool, or something similar....
if you bleed one person out of the game, you get six pool straight away,
unless you yourself would be ousted without that pool. and you get a vp.
if you then oust the next methuselah on the same turn, you get another 6
pool and another vp...
salem....who wants to be an official vtes errata person when he grows
up, instead of an actuary.

Burned blood is never damage; burned blood in excess of a vampire's
currently blood supply is ignored.
