The original post says "Roundtime added via Staggered does not stack, but can refresh", but does not define refresh. Staggered does seem to stack, up to the highest amount of staggered induced roundtime that hasn't expired.

If a maneuver deals 20 seconds of staggered roundtime, 14 seconds go by to where 6 seconds is remaining, and then another maneuver deals 15 seconds of roundtime, the staggered roundtime applied is 20 seconds.

[Moonsedge, Bramble Square]
Bramble topiaries frame a raised city square, urged by their gardeners' dereliction into an overgrown tangle that holds little resemblance to the cultivated shapes they once held.  The brambles cast their gnarled shadows on steps leading down to the streets feeding the square, stretching as far as the foundations of once-prosperous businesses nearby.  Most of the buildings are boarded and barricaded, but a dim countinghouse to the northwest has had its doors torn away, leaving only deformed hinges behind.  You also see a smouldering skeletal dreadsteed, a horned basalt grotesque and a horned basalt grotesque.
