A player, 16 February 2012
Shosuro Aroru (Experienced 2) Scorpion Clan • Ninja • Duelist • Experienced 2 • Unique Will not attach non-Ninja Followers. Reaction: When an action would target a Ninja at Aroru's location: Choose another of your cards. The action targets it instead, if legal. After the action's resolution, you may move Aroru to a different location. Battle: Other players may not take Reactions until this action ends. Ranged 5 Attack.
I have a question about the word "different" in the last effect of his reaction, does it referre to the location mentioned in the constraint block or to the location where Aroru is when the effect happens? in this post http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=96210, the answer to my question seems to be the second one, but I don't see any reason to use the word "different" in this case because when a personality moves, it's always to a location that is different from the one where he is.
Thank you

In all cases with Shosuro Aroru - Experienced 2's Reaction, the word different relates to the location when the effect is applied.
The last part of Aroru's Reaction creates a delayed effect. According to the sequence for using abilities (Section E, Action resolution), "Effects are applied immediately after they are activated, except for delayed effects. Delayed effects are activated during this step, but not applied until their trigger occurs."
