Hmm. Since this is a disrupt can it change the outcome of the struggle that triggered it?
From http://www.cardgamed...ew-part-3-r1375
In the comment above, Danigral says that forced responses such as Lord Jeffrey Farrington could trigger mod-story. I thought Forced Responses only trigger after each story resolves. Am I wrong? Can Farrington indeed bounce a character on the middle of Call the Custodes? I thought only Disrupts could trigger mid-story...?
Also, just curious, if Farrington joins this conspiracy as the result of losing a terror struggle, and then I chose Farrington to go insane from the terror struggle effect, will his Forced Response still trigger after Call the Custodes resolves (assuming I'm right that Forced Responses wait until after a story resolves before they trigger). I'm unclear on whether the forced response can trigger if Farrington is insane. The condition was met when he came into play earlier, but now he's insane in the Forced Response window. What happens with his effect?
Disrupts and Forced Responses are dealt with immediately during story struggles (I refer you to the explanation of green boxes in the Detailed Turn Sequence).
The disrupt is from winning the icon struggle, but presumably occurs before resolving the effect of the win, so Farrington can be chosen to be sent insane, if you bring him in off this disrupt. Each icon resolution is a Framework action. It can be disrupted, but after being won, is resolved before Passives and/or Forced Responses occur (There is a detailed description of the Framework action sequence in the FAQ).
This means that Farringtons Forced Response would occur after the Terror struggle would resolve, but before any other icon struggle would resolve. However if you sent him insane, then the Forced Response would no longer be active. (Forced Responses and Responses work if and only if they are around when the relevant response window is open).
Hence you have to send someone else insane to get his bounce effect, but if you do that, his bounce effect will occur in time to help you with the next icon struggle.
Hope that helps.
Man, thanks, Richard Plunkett! Really good explanation. You're like a CoC rules master!
