Fire on the ground floor of X7! :yell:
How would one work the drifting smoke here? The building is Ground Level only with a Level 1 and 2 Steeple in Y7. By rule (A24.61), the blaze-hex smoke rises to Level 4, but would not drift into the interior of building hex, Y7....
A) Would there still be smoke above the building in hexes Y7 and Z6 (Thus smoking out any steepl-ers)? Natürlich, but would that smoke cover up to level 2 (from the level 1 rooftop), or up to level 3 (as if the rooftop was ground-level for those two hexes)?
B) Either way, I assume there would also be smoke in AA6. But would that fall back to ground level? Or exist only between the same levels as hexes Y7 and Z6. So far as I know, smoke doesn't settle...
C) Is there a rule/Q&A to cover this issue? The closest I can find is part of A24.61:
Of course, neither Y7 nor Z6 is the original SMOKE source...
D) BONUS QUESTION: If the building was the standard, level 2 (with stairwell in Y7), does smoke drift at all? If so, how so?
If this was real life, I think it would go like this: A) Smoke from rooftop up to 3rd level; B) NO - Smoke exists in AA6 only between 1st and 3rd level. C) I don't think the RB (or existing Q&A) exactly covers this case. D) Smoke drifts from rooftop up to level 4 (hindrance for levels 2 and 3 from hexes Y7, Z6 and AA6)...

All drifting Smoke is a Hindrance up to two levels higher, and drifting WP up to four levels higher, than the Location it occupies, but never a Hindrance at levels below the Location of the original SMOKE source...
