Special abilities mess

Okay so I have an interesting mess that I need some help walking through, here is the Scenario.


Player 1: RA's with Joshua the High Priest

Player 2: blocks with Emperor Otho uses his ability.

Player 1: plays Jordan Interrupted, followed by Trumpet Blast (Boom!)

Ok, seems straightforward, but what happens to Emperor Otho's ability?  It isn't an enhancement and he is in battle, would it still discard Joshua after his untimely demise?  It was not negated.

Joshua the High Priest
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 7 / 8 • Class: None • Special Ability: Enhancements used by this Hero cannot be negated. If a silver brigade Hero is in play, this Hero is immune to pale green brigade. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Zerubbabel’s Temple High Priest (House of Eleazar) • Verse: Zechariah 3:1 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Rare)

Emperor Otho
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Grey • Ability: 10 / 1 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: You may discard a N.T. evil Enhancement from hand to discard all cards in battle. • Identifiers: NT Male Human, Emperor (Rome), Royalty, Fought Earthly Battle • Verse: Josephus (Wars of the Jews, Chapter 9) • Availability: Faith of Fathers (Set 10)

Jordan Interrupted
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 4 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt the battle. You may play the next Enhancement. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Joshua 3:14 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Common)

Trumpet Blast
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 7 / 0 • Class: None • Special Ability: Discard an evil Fortress or occupied Site from play to discard all Evil Characters in battle. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Joshua 6:8 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Ultra Rare)

Otho would be discarded in battle and his effect wouldn't go through.

+1.  His ability is interrupted, and he's discarded before it can reactivate.

+1 with his +1

It's the beauty of interrupts ;)

+1 and thanks for posting the abilities.

The NT enhancement would come back to the owners hand and otho would be d/c by t-blast before his SA would reactivate.  Joshua is the surviving hero and, supposing there is no CM that is played and that the hero has access to a LS, the Rescuer wins the LS

Hey,

Ok, seems straightforward, but what happens to Emperor Otho's ability?  It isn't an enhancement and he is in battle, would it still discard Joshua after his untimely demise?  It was not negated.

Interrupting an ability and doing something that causes it to be unable to reactivate after the interrupt completes (which is what Jordan Interrupted/Trumpet Blast achieves here) is effectively the same as negating the ability.

Tschow,
