Question

156 – I have a rules question for the Spiral scenario. If I remove the last threat from The search for Spiral side scheme and replace the adding of threat with for example Great responsibility. Do I softlock the scenario? Because the Forced Response only reacts to removing the last threat not to not having threat. And since responses can only act once on a single condition, I think, the side scheme has no threat left, so I can’t remove any of it to trigger the forced response again.

Answer

Correct; if you were to trigger the Forced Response on The Search for Spiral and then play Great Responsibility, you’d prevent any threat from being placed on the scheme, and would not be able to trigger its Forced Response again unless you found different a way to place more threat on it that you could then remove.
