Balewind vortex

[James Ramsay]

Hi! 

Another question if you don't mind me picking your brains.

Can a monster go on the balewind vortex? I know they cannot summon them - but say the caster on top dies or is somehow removed from it. I don't see anything in the rules saying the balewind is removed? Is there any concensious in how this is played at events?

Monster no, as you can't move within 3" and I guess not, don't recall any thing saying you have to remove it.

RAW;

The rules aren't that a monster can't stand on it, just that they can't summon it. There's no precedent or indication that summoned stuff disappears when the caster dies. Go for it.

Purposive;

It's effectively impassable terrain while a wizard is on it.

If the vortex was intended to disappear once the Wizard was dead, specifying that you can't move near it while he's alive is a really odd caveat to have. Unless they're worried about offending daemons/necromancers.

Fluff;

Exactly how do you climb onto a platform floating 20m up?

TL:DR;

Ask your opponent.
