movement and siege

[redelcamuffo]

I have a couple of questions about the movement of the companions and of the fellowship.

1)Can a companion move in a besieged stronghold? And the fellowship?
2) When a companion reaches a city and activates a nation, he also move that nation a step down on the political track or not?
3)This happened to me yesterday. The fsp reaches a friendly stronghold (let's say Lorien) and declares itself.In the meanwhile the stronghold is besieged by an army with nazgul.The fsp wants to move on. Has the shadow player two hunt re-rolls (1 for the nazgul and 1 for the army)? These re-rolls apply also if the fsp is not revealed? If Lorien falls before the fsp tries to move has the SP 3 hunt re-rolls?

I found a few of these answers in the FAQ:

1. Companions cannot move into a besieged stronghold. The fellowship can.

2. A companion only activates a nation, he doesn't move it down on the political track.

3. Yes, 2 hunt re-rolls. 3 hunt re-rolls if Lorien falls.

2) Boromir, Legolas and Gimli (and only them) then have the political ability to advance thier own nation (Legolas - Elves, Gimli - Dwarves and Boromir- Gondor) one step on the Political track with any Action die.
