Questions that came up tonight

I don't have time tonight to check for answers but can later if need be. If people know the answers, though, I'd appreciate any help. :)

1a. If Gates of Samaria is protecting the evil kings of Israel in my territory, can they be targeted to be brought into battle?

1b. Shuffled?

2a. Is Simeon's protect from discard ability ongoing (it doesn't say it is)?

2b. Does Simeon's protect from discard ability protect him if he is discarded due to a decrease ability that takes him to */0 or less?

2c. If no to 2a and yes to 2b, would Simeon be discarded when he returns to territory after being decreased to */0 or less in battle?

3. What does the new Siegeworks mean when it says "control Isaiah"?

4a. If a weapon or place card is placed on a hero prior to battle and the hero is shuffled during the battle, does the weapon or place card follow its host or stay in battle?

4b. What if the weapon or place card is played during battle?

5. When Grapes of Wrath says that the person may begin a new battle, is there any reason the new battle could be a rescue attempt? I believe there was a rule that only one rescue attempt could be made per turn, and this doesn't specify differently so it wouldn't seem to overrule the game rule.

Thanks for all your help!

1. Not by an opponent.

2a. Yes, Simeon's protect is ongoing
2b. Only while in battle, as soon as he's going back to territory, he dead. The reason for this is he's protected from Discard, not just discard abilities

3. If you have control of Isaiah. If he's in your territory/set-aside area/side of battle.

4. Weapons and placed cards follow their character/fortesses/etc. Always.

5. I believe the rule is only one successful rescue attempt, but I'm not sure on that.

I agree with Ring Wraith except for 2a. Simeon's Protect is not ongoing as it does not say while he remains in play. Also I don't know if there is a rule about making more than one successful rescue attempt per turn,but  it is definitely impossible in the current game.

Ongoing abilities are only active on a phase-by-phase basis, and since it does not say while he remains in play, it wouldn't be active after the battle phase.

Quote from: REGOngoingAbilities
Lasting Effects (last until end of battle unless specified otherwise)
...
Protect

So, you're right, just not using the right term.  :)

Westy is correct about #5, he should know, they made that rule after him.
