"I'm outta here!"

"I'm outta here!"
  • Q: Can "I'm outta here!"" be used to resign during The Endless Stairs regardless of whether or not the bottommost location is revealed? A: No, you cannot! The bottommost Mysterious Stairs location does not gain the “Resign” ability until it is revealed, as per the text on act 2. Essentially, the resign ability only exists while the bottommost stairs is revealed; until then, there is no scenario card with a “resign” ability in play, so you cannot play I’m outta here.

Pit Viper

Pit Viper
  • Q: I wanted to confirm my understanding of the interaction between Guard Dog and Pit Viper. I am attacked by the Pit Viper and assign the damage to my Guard Dog and use its , I deal 1 damage back to the Pit Viper, defeating it. Am I correct in reading that the Pit Viper's Forced ability does not trigger because the Pit Viper is no longer in play by the time it would trigger? Put more simply: does assigning damage to Guard Dog and using Guard Dog's reaction to defeat a Pit Viper avoid giving me a Poisoned weakness? A: Correct; assigning Pit Viper’s damage to Guard Dog and using Guard Dog’s reaction ability to defeat Pit Viper will make it so Pit Viper’s Forced ability does not resolve. (March 2024)
