"When Zhenga announces a recruit action or employ action, she may burn X blood. If the action succeeds, she may recruit and employ up to X additional allies and retainers from your hand (pay cost as normal)." So, let's say Zhenga Clan Impersonated to Tzimisce. Zhenga's controller has a War Ghoul and JS Simmons in his hand. Zhenga announces the action to recruit the War Ghoul, and burns 1 blood. The action succeeds, and Zhenga brings both the War Ghoul and JS into play. Can Zhenga's controller burn JS to satisfy the War Ghoul?

Since the additional allies & retainers are "from your hand," can they be DI'd? Or does Zhenga's special mean that they're not played "in the normal fashion" (quote from RTR 20001020)? TIA, Pat

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes. Either they're put in play simultaneously, in which case the answer follows directly, or they're not (and they're put into play sequentially), in which case the answer is moot, since you can always choose to put JS in first instead of second.
