For sure, dragon will take at least 1xBB and 1xWoF damage and spend at least 6 x (1+3) movement points. But:- should difficult terrain from blade barrier be counted extra ? Or only maximum cost for any part of the dragon should count? If it is counted extra, then why dragon is spending 2 points for each normal move (as it is entering 2 normal squares in normal case) ? What if blade barrier overlaps wall of fire ? Will it be then 2+3 per move?- what about place where 2 squares of wall of fire are entered per move ? Will it be 1+3+3 or only 1+3 ?- what with damage ? Is it counted only when entering the zone, per move or per square? If per move, then having 2 walls (like for first 4 steps here) is a lot more effective than one wide wall ? If per square, then are 'tail' squares of dragon also counting as entering a zone separately ?</blockquote>
