Chum deals 3 damage if the next encountered ICE doesn't have all its subroutines broken. Data Raven gives the runner the option to either take a tag, or end the run when encountered before proceeding to its subroutine.
If the runner takes the option to end the run after encountering the Data Raven, do they still take the 3 net damage?
(This would also apply to a TollBooth the runner couldn't pay 3C towards)
From the FAQ:
Does the Runner take damage if he jacks out after encountering a Chum and not breaking its subroutine?
No. The Runner has not encountered another piece of ice, and so the subroutine on Chum has no effect.
Data Raven's "tag or quit" ability triggers when the runner encounters the ICE, though. So by that point the runner MUST now break all the subroutines or pay the Chum penalty... jacking out of the run now won't save them.
