This has probably been asked before I joined up but:

1. Can Lord Torgo's elf killing special ability affect the Elven Hitman
contact?

2. Can you go on a Shadowrun against an objective that only has your
challenges on it and play a Blindsided to have to face the challenges and
thus avoid an intercept?

3. If you have a rigger using a drone in a fight can you split the damage
between the rigger and the drone or does it all get applied to the drone?

4. If a running team kills a challenge but are all killed themselves does
the challenge still get trashed?

5. If you set off an alarm on one challenge and the next challenge is a
Booby Trap does it automatically go off (even if you have 1 Demolitions to
sleaze it)? (Same thing for Corpse Light and Leadership).

Regards,
Adrian.

Sure -- why not?

4. If a running team kills a challenge but are all killed themselves
does
the challenge still get trashed?

Yepyep. It got killed, it goes to trash.

5. If you set off an alarm on one challenge and the next challenge is a
Booby Trap does it automatically go off (even if you have 1 Demolitions
to sleaze it)? (Same thing for Corpse Light and Leadership).

Nope. Once the alarm's gone off, the sleazing's out of the question.
The exception is stuff like Maglocks, which says it is sleazed if you
guess the combination. Another exception is invisibility, as the spell
says to sleaze challenges. Booby Trap is not. Thus, Flock of Geese &
Corpselight'll almost always stop the Shadowrun, provided you don't mind
wasting two challenges via so.

Personally, I hate Flock of Geese. Waste of a challenge spot, usually.

Hoi,

>Hitman contact?

As it states on the card right now I would say yes. It just says trash
X elves. However when LT gets errated for second run I believe that
they said he would just be doing damage to elves, so then that would not
effect the elven hitman.

>2. Can you go on a Shadowrun against an objective that only has your

Not having the blindsided card, I'm not real sure but I would say no.
When you declare a shadowrun there are no challenges for you to face. So
at that time it is legal for your opponent to declare an interception.
And at that time the interception would take place.

>3. If you have a rigger using a drone in a fight can you split the

Yes, just remember though... when your rigger dies his drones go with
him.

>4. If a running team kills a challenge but are all killed themselves
>does the challenge still get trashed?

Yes.

Yep a runner is automatically trashed. The only time that challenges
can be sleazed (by matching runner skills with the sleaze requirement of
the challege) is when the alarm has not been triggered.

I think OLAF and ADRIAN gave the right answers but not a reason why.(and
since me and OLAF hardly agree on anything i had to say something on this
special occasion)
Under intercepting a shadowrun on pg.71 of the rule book it says , and i
quote "If a player declares a shadowrun against an undefended Objective (an
Objective with no OPPONENTS challenges gaurding it ) the objective's owner may
choose to intercept the shadowrun......yadda...yadda...yadda." End quote (ok
the yadda wasn't a quote) So to intercept a run it must be undefended.
Undefended being defined as not haveing any challenges played by an opponent.
So while you could play Blindsided on yourself (maybe),as long as you play it
in the phase right after the run was declared and before intercept is
declared, your opponent could still intercept thus ending the run before you
face your challenges and the Blindsided would be wasted.
Did that make sence to anyone? By the way i like the way you think. That
would have been a cool way to play Blinsided if it worked. I never would'a
thought of it.
