A player, 9 March 2015

Hi

if a player gains honor, and interrupts that gain with Kakita Akitomo and interrupts then with Doji Tashihime, what happens if this gets interrupted by a look into the soul which reduces the initial honor gain to zero? Is there an interrupt resolution order? Thanks in advance

Kakita Akitomo Political Interrupt, w: If the action is yours, before you gain Honor from it, negate the gain to make a target player lose 1 Honor

Doji Tashihime Political Interrupt: Before another player loses Honor from the action, Tashihime's poems immortalize the shame; increase the loss by 1 and gain 1 Honor

Look Into The Soul Air Interrupt, w: Reduce each Honor gain from the action (to a minimum of 0) by half this Shugenja's Chi, rounded down

If the resolution of an Interrupt reduces the gain (or loss) to 0, there is no longer a gain or loss to act as a trigger for further Interrupts. In both of these cases the Interrupt may be taken (only Akitomo has an "If" at the beginning of his Interrupt, and it will still be your action), but you will not be gaining honor for it in Akitomo's case (so the rest of his ability does not trigger), and in Tashihime's case, there is no "Before another player loses honor from the action".
