Another Scroll satchel question.

L5R CCG Rules board, 11 March 2014 to 12 March 2014

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Ok, so this one is one I only recently encountered in a game, otherwise I'd have put it with my other question. I have a shugenja A with two searing sieges, and a Koan's scroll satchel. I make one searing siege a home action. Can I combine the non home searing siege with the home searing siege from home? Their logic was no, as both sieges would have to be home. My thinking was maybe, because the interrupt to combine ranged attacks is mine, and I have presence at all battlefields (like, say, with the use of imperial favor). Any clarification would be nice. Thanks again for your time. :]

No, you cannot, because without Home the Interrupt use of Searing Siege would need to be at the battle (Interrupts are governed by both Presence and Location). Time to get that guy another Koan card!
