Rules and Mechanic Advisory for the March Event

From the rulebook:
"Cleansing Spores
This ability renders all beings within reach
of the character Immune versus Poisoned,
persisting up to thirty seconds after they
leave the area.
Spell (Rank III, Unique), Channeled (Aura)"

Yes if the NPC does not also call bane, since bane bypasses immunities. Likewise, anything that cures the poisoned status does in fact cure this poison.

In regards to Dark Whispers. Does resist still stop it?

Resist stops a metaphysical attack, which Dark Whispers has attack(Metaphysical)
However, since Dark Whiapers is bane, it would bypass the immunity granted from it, at which time you would have to use another use of resist, or other form of social or metaphysical defense

This is correct! If it's primary ability is to defend a Metaphysical or a Social(Influential) attack I will take it. Along these lines Bravado will work as well, though the being using the Dark Whispers is immune to the effects of the reflected Dark Whispers.

Talisman of Self-Control
This item defends an attack which inflicts
the Charmed or Dominated status.

Would this be able to defend against dark whispers?

Thanks.

Since Dark Whispers does not inflict the dominated status, Talisman of Self-Control will not defend against the skill.

However, it will defend against any Enslaves that go around this weekend
