Black Sonata

At the start of each round you perform “Update the Lady’s location” by advancing the stealth deck: move the top stealth card to the bottom and the new top card shows her current landmark (she only moves along connected locations). (p. 6)

No — searching is not available when the stealth deck shows a fog card; instead you may choose to use the fog card’s special action or pass. (p. 7; see fog actions p. 8)

Yes — when you search you place the stealth card onto the location key, flip them, then discard that stealth card and insert a fog card beneath the top; afterward the Lady “flees” by advancing the stealth deck a number of cards equal to the clues you currently have (skip this advance if you have no clues). (p. 7)

No — you may not search to gain a clue and then confront the Lady in the same turn; to confront you must already have identified all three traits and then successfully search for her. (p. 9)

Fog cards don’t change the Lady’s path but prevent searching; if you choose the fog card action you slide a fog card under the top fog card, flip and resolve its special action, then follow the card’s instructions (placing it on the bottom of the fog deck unless told otherwise); if you cannot perform the required action you lose the game. (p. 8)

If the countdown card is ever revealed showing zero, time has run out and you immediately lose the game; when revealed earlier you rotate/flip it to the next lower number and place it at the bottom. (p. 6)
