When any item is played at this site, the company must face all automatic-attacks of the site again with the attack's prowess modified by +3. Any successful strike does not harm the character, but rather the character is taken prisoner at the site. The rescue-attack equals all automatic-attacks of the site at the time of rescue.

If I play an item at an under-deeps site I may immediately play a second item. When may Troll-purse be revealed and what happens then?

a) it may only be revealed after the play of the 2nd item because 2nd item is played immediately?

b) Troll-purse may be revealed immediately after play of 1st item an triggers so that a 2nd item may not be played anymore?

c) Troll-purse may be revealed immediately after play of 1st item an triggers but a 2nd item may be played afterwards?

I guess a) is true but I am not sure about this.

My hunch is that A is correct, as well. The free item is played immediately, while Troll-Purse lacks that word.

I think none of the above is exactly correct (well c kind of is).

You play item #1, Troll Purse gets revealed and it triggers, making you face the auto-attacks again in the next chain of effects. However, you can still continue the chain you began (by playing item #1) and immediately play item #2. Should you choose to do so, Purse gets triggered again, making you face the auto-attacks twice.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for your help!
