1)The 2 Armor-piercing damage done by hellblast... Is it applied to Marek
(if he's in a sniper roost) or to just the team and challenge, or to Marek
the The Team and the challenge, or what combination?

2)When my Drake attacks another person's Highbrow using a wanted on the
higbrow, does my drake leave the safehouse? when does he come back? Can GAQ
be used to send him back home before the fight?

3)If my 6 runners take a casualty from a booby trap, can Red Widow join in?

4)Rush job - Must make shadowrun. What are acceptable ways to prevent
yourself from having runners to go on a shadowrun? Riots Riots Riots? Drive
by'ing your own adam bomb? Having the Ice Queen go visit fuchi??? etc.

5)Challenge series--Minefield encountered, passed.
Security Consultant encounter (Jus'aRumor'd)
'cause I have a minefield on the top
of my challenge stack.
Double Jeopardy encounter.
The double jeopardy = minefield right?

<Extra>Skwaaaaaark! isn't prime!!!!(I didn't know)

This is why I mentioned the combo.. the 'blast would apply to everyone
present with Marek. Since Marek is not physically on the shadowrun -
Sniper Roost lets him poke Challenges from the safehouse - it's only
people back home that get affected.

And if he's all by his lonesome....

In order to initiate the combat, Drake would have to leave the safehouse
(that old "present" thing). When he comes back is up in the air, most
people seem to agree that coming back after the fight is over is a good
thing. GAQS can hit him at any time, so, yeah, he might not even make
it to the ballgame.

I believe the DLOHs have given this one a resounding "no". There can
only be six Runners, including assistants, on a shadowrun, ever, period.

Having all your Runners turned seems to be the easiest way. (Abducted
works wonders, too.)

Being the nice guy that I am, I'd always leave a Runner or three.. or
six... unturned so as to actually make a shadowrun, but I imagine come
tournament time I'll change my mind :)

This is the way I'd play it, because I see Just a Rumor as more or less
retroactively removing the Challenge from the stack.. ie, it was never
even there, it was (ba-dump-dump) Just a Rumor. So the Jeopardy would
clone the Minefield, yeah.

Believe it or not. Rock-n-roll, dynamo.
