Escort to safety - Beam attacks

[Horeath]

Hi Guys,

Can I check in on this thread:

Just reviewing and can't see a clear answer. Can I confirm part 2 of this question.

Does escort to safety (and trickster, can't catch me) grant a new action? Your answer says the card will only stop the attack against a single target (as per the answer) and the other attacks continue. This indicates that each attack is seperate (doesn't attack multiple targets), so would I get another action from the cancelled attack, and still resolve the others. That seems wrong?

You would not. Although each individual attack in the Beam or Area attack is a separate attack for targeting purposes and later steps of the attack sequence, they are each still a part of the original overriding attack that generated them in the first place.

Beam and Area attacks occur in a different way from Rapid Fire attacks which are entirely separate from each other, but occur while the other is still resolving.
