eluding the arms of morpheus - AFTER block declare

vamp A acts, vampire B plays eyes of argus and intercept card, declaring attempt to block.
no more modifiers are played and vamp A says blocked. Can vamp B still play eluding? 

To me this is obvious but Miller failed to see my point. Can someone explain this game technical - impulse -wise to us? 

Thanks

I believe the answer is no.. Basically in any specific timing window in the game, the acting player plays their cards; then defending player gets to play their cards; then the other players get to play their cards in clockwise order. The cycle restarts only if acting player plays a card. 

So because player A didn't play cards and instead declared that they were blocked, I believe defending player doesn't get to play any more cards in that timing window, and instead you move to resolving blocks. 

Eluding has to be played prior to a successful block, because it forces you to attempt to block. In this game you cannot attempt something you are unable to do. You can play eluding only if a blocking opportunity exists. 

I struggle to find a good explanation to this from the BCP rulebook however... its handling of timing windows is haphazard at best. 
 

Exactly how I thought of it ... thanks - )

Player A play all cards he wants and pass the impulse to player B.
- Player B plays eyes of argus and intercept card and pass the impulse to A.
- Player A pass. 
as both players passed the action moves to the next step. Action is blocked. Action resolves unsuccessfully -> resolve the block.
There is no window to play eluding the arms of morpheus.

No. The block resolves once all players have passed the impulse (including A and B). After all, C could lock a Monastery of Shadows to give A more stealth. Or D could play a Draba.


 

I was under impression from the topic post, that player B had already passed impulse, player A had declared block successful, and then player B tried to play eluding.
