What the rules say IIRC is that you get your advantage die only in the next round, not immediately. Whenever you win a challenge-answer pair, you are eligible for an advantage die the next round. You cannot lose the die in subsequent answers in the same round, and you cannot ever have more than one die, no matter how may answers you won.

well, yeah. But the rules clearly state the mover has to name the answerer. Can an answerer vote themselves to answer? I would think it makes more sense that anyone opposing the move announces an answer, and the rules have it ass backwards?
Think of it this way, if I'm the sorcerer and your the headsman and you don't make me answer your move, then I'm free to blast you with sorcerous fire. Since you "can and would interfere" you better make me answer.
The sorcerer is not free to blast him, he is simply forced to wait until it his his turn to move, at which point the headsmen gets to answer the fire. It still seems to me that the rules (as they read in the book) have it backwards, because the mover has the power to determine who is a potential answerer or not.
OR (and this just came to me) perhaps that is the point of the initiative rolls in the first place? They place the sorcerers blast action after the headsmans action in time, and only the headsman has the power to make the blast happen simultaneously with the chop, presumably by the player including the sorcerer player in the challenge, which fictionally would mean the headsmen delays his action slightly (for whatever reason he would want to do that, Im not sure).
I can buy that second explanation, as it is coherent and fits the rules.

thats solid.

Anyone got a clue what to do if an ongoing conflict seems to sweep up a previously uninvolved third party? Can that 3rd party become involved in the conflict in say, the 2nd or 3rd round, even if they werent involved previously?

It may be solid, but I believe it's inaccurate. In the Two-on-one example, Second Round, Tom's answer gives him the advantage die. During Erin's move, still in the second round Tom's answer includes an additional 1 from the advantage die:
Quote
Tom’s answer:
Tom rerolls for an 11+4=15 and a 7, beating
Martha’s 11 & 5 and so taking the advantage.
“Amek would kill them dead if they gave me away.
We are spectacularly equal.”
He keeps his advantage die.
Tom doesn’t get a move, because he had to answer
before his turn.
Erin’s move:
Erin rerolls for a 9+5=14 & 6.
“Oh, but when I go into the circle? I defer. I surely
do.”
Tom’s answer:
Tom rerolls for a 7+6=13 & 1, not matching Erin’s
9+5=14 & 6. He has to give Esan the advantage.
