The Silver Trumpets

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: When your Priest has initiative during a rescue attempt, you may band a human O.T. Hero from your territory into battle or interrupt the battle and return your Heroes in battle to hand. May be used twice.

1. Is TST considered a banding card?
2. Does initiative also apply to special initiative if the Hero Priest is being removed from battle?
3. Is the banding considered and interupt?

1. Yes
2. Yes. However, you cannot use the band ability in this case because it does not interrupt.
3. No.

To BB as I said I asked this exact question, you can't use TST in any type of Special Initiative because it does not interrupt.

That says you can use the return to hand ability (but not the band) when you're losing by removal - which is exactly what BB said.
