Sorry I'm asking again, but the answers to that question were not particuarly clear and I'm playing a kotei next week and this situation is extremely likely to happen.
My question is: If the scorpion player names "Cavalry Escort" with the stronghold, can I play Cavalry Escort, pay 0g so it's negated and then play another copy of Cavalry Escort (paying full price)?
I know I can play the second copy regardless of what I pay the first time. What I need to know if it's possible for me to pay 0g the first time to absorv the negation of TSEotS.
Cavalry Escort: Battle, : If this Follower is in your hand, Recruit your target Personality (paying all costs) for 5 more gold and attach this Follower (ignoring all costs) to him.
The Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion: Tireless Open: Name a Fate card, or name a Dynasty card in play. Negate the effects of the next action from a card with that title.

Yes. You may pay 0G the first time, which will discard the Cavalry Escort and use up the Scorpion negation.
