Hello!
We have this situation.Random player attacks me with a random personality and I defend with a Shugenja with 4 personal honor.He plays Extended Maneuvers and I pass.When the terrain resolves,he targets my Shugenja to bow him and I react with A Soldier's Fate.Do I straighten immediately my personality(since both the terrain and 'A Soldiers Fate have effects before the resolution) or the timing is bad and my personality stays bowed?
Thanks in advance!

In Samurai, A Soldier's Fate straightens you "after the Combat Segment ends" whereas Extended Maneuvers resolves "Before this Battle's Resolution". A Soldier's Fate will always straighten you before Extended Maneuvers attempts to bow.
In Lotus, delayed terrains resolve prior to the end of the Combat Segment, so if you're playing Lotus, you'll be able to straighten.
