Banished triggers during skirmishes that shadow side wins due to all FP characters being removed from a skirmish (in the example I had it was Merry, Learned Guide discarded). It should not trigger in such case, as there are no FP characters in the skirmish the moment it resolves, so there is no losing FP character at all.

Fixed: - If a character is removed from skirmish and not in play anymore, "character loses skirmish" is not triggered for it.

[Elessar's Socks]

I think Banished triggered appropriately in the Merry, Learned Guide example based on this: "any character removed during his or her skirmish is a losing character, even if that character's side eventually wins." Even though he's not in play anymore, a companion still lost a skirmish.

Seems you're right and Banished should trigger in such case even before skirmish resolves (which doesn't make much difference here, but could make it when a character is removed and replaced by another one, for example using Pippin, Brave Decoy's ability).

Rolled back the change. I've misread the rules when replying to the first post about it from the original poster.

Fixed: - Cards that remove keyword bonuses (like "Trapped and Alone") now correctly remove the keyword bonuses.

Just a question...

Shouldn't the card Make Haste allow you to lose initiative and regain it within the same action?  I am referring to its play in conjunction with "initiative loss" conditions like A Light In His Mind or Glimpse of Fate, for example. 

Whenever I play Make Haste, in-game, I never lose initiative because as soon as I play it, usually when I have four cards in hand, I no sooner have four cards again because a hobbit is bounced to my hand.

What's the ruling on this? 

[hsiale]

It should.

(from CRD)
playing a card
Following is a detailed procedure for playing a
non-site card. (...)
5. Respond to the playing of The Card (and
to losing initiative if necessary). Responses or
triggered actions that respond to the playing of
The Card happen now. If The Card has game
text on it that triggers "When you play..." The
Card, it happens now. Other cards may respond
to the card being played as well. These are
handled in the manner described under actions
and action procedure. If The Card was a Free
People's card and it leaving your hand causes you
to lose initiative, each player may respond to you
losing initiative now.
6. Perform effects of The Card.

So you lose initiative before you perform effects.

You should not, returning a hobbit in Make Haste card is a cost (step 3), so done before the check for losing initiative (step 5), unless I understood the rules wrong?

[hsiale]

Ah, you're right, sorry I didn't remember the card and thought it's an effect.

the free peoples player can use  watch-tower of cirith ungol to exert an (orc) minion to discard a card at random from his own hand. This should not happen because the orc isn't the free peoples minion.

Fixed: - "Watch-tower of Cirith Ungol" now allows to exert only YOUR minion.
