Waking/Mirror Image Question

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. TTFn

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

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. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.

Lo and behold, for the knowledge. . . she is weak. Sigh. :) Ankur
