Chalice - few questions

Hrrrrrrm. Spells are executed in random order, aren't they? So if a spell *kills* the Astral Traveler -- say, it's a direct damage spell like Flames from the Sky or a reaaaally lucky Seeking Arrow -- without requiring that he stick around for a battle, it should preempt...

Hmm hmm. I wonder if remote-assassination-summon spells like Manifestation are resolved at the same time as remote-summons that merely drop units for standard army battles.

Are you sure that what you said is correct Taqwus? Because it seems to contradict manual. According to it first the spells are casted in random order (just like you said). It is done in pahse 7, IIRC. *Then* the magical battles are resolved. It is done in the next phase, after casting of spells - phase 8.


And since 2 spells teleport SC/army into different provinces in phase 7, it seems that there could be no battle in phase 8.

I am not 100% sure of it, but that what manual seems to say. It could be wrong though. Have you ever managed to catch teleporting army/SC with combat spell or with teleport of your own?
