How Does Idle Gossip work exactly?  After the two heroe's get done fighting, does the winner resume the Rescue Attempt?  What happens if some one chooses a Moses as one of the hero's?  What if some one RA's with a set of banded heroes, I play Idle Gossip, choose Moses, Do the banded hero's disband?  After the side battle do the unbanded hero's return?

How Does Idle Gossip work exactly?  After the two heroe's get done fighting, does the winner resume the Rescue Attempt?

After any side battle, the participants return to wherever they came from (or owner's territory if the hero came from hand).

 What happens if some one chooses a Moses as one of the hero's?

 

Moses negates the side battle and all other special abilities in the original battle. The battle would become "fight by the numbers" with the original hero and evil character. However, any abilities that "cannot be negated" remain in effect.

What if some one RA's with a set of banded heroes, I play Idle Gossip, choose Moses, Do the banded hero's disband?

Yes. The only exception would be banding that "cannot be negated."

After the side battle do the unbanded hero's return?

No. The whole battle is now "fight by the numbers."

Ah, ah, ah.

Did somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Notice that I said "any" side battle, and that the exception was in parentheses as a side note. 

Clarifying general rules often helps decipher the more specific examples. 

I didn't realize that we were arguing. I was just cleaning up the bite wounds.
