Miriam Benyona versus Lord of Serenity

Hi! By searching Google Newsgroups I have come upon the ruling of rescuing Mitchell the Headhunter with Sense Vitality cost one blood, so I think that Lord of Serenity costs Miriam Benyona one less is for sure. But does it cost her two less, because he rescues two vampires? Miriam Benyona Independent: Rescuing a vampire from torpor costs Miriam 1 less blood. During your untap phase, you may move 1 blood from Miriam to any ready vampire. Scarce. Lord of Serenity +1 stealth action. [for] Rescue up to two vampires from torpor. Any ready vampire may attempt to block this action. [obe] Put this card on the acting vampire. During your untap phase, this vampire gains 1 blood. Any vampire may burn this card as a (D) action. [OBE] As [obe] above, but this vampire gains 2 blood.

Lord of Serenity costs zero, so the question of whether the final cost is -1 or -2 is mostly moot, as she would end up paying zero anyhow. But for the cases when the action's cost is increased by two (or more), it matters, so: Miriam reduces the cost of a rescue action by one, regardless of the number of vampires rescued.

Errm, all the Lord of Serenity cards I have are printed with a cost of 3 blood. The text quoted above is missing the cost. > But for the cases when the action's cost is increased by two (or > more), it matters, so: > > Miriam reduces the cost of a rescue action by one, regardless of the > number of vampires rescued. So the 3-blood-costing Lord of Serenity at outferior fortitude would cost 2 blood, I presume. HG

The text quoted above is missing the cost. Well, then. The answer is applicable in many more cases. :-) Thanks for the addendum. > > But for the cases when the action's cost is increased by two (or > > more), it matters, so: > > > Miriam reduces the cost of a rescue action by one, regardless of the > > number of vampires rescued. > > So the 3-blood-costing Lord of Serenity at outferior fortitude would cost > 2 blood, I presume. True fact.
