I recently bought Descent and fired up the RtL app. We played through the Rise of All Goblins mini-campaign, including the side quests.As many others have experienced, we got absolutely crushed by perils. According to various forums, the solution to this problem is to move through quickly and not fight every monster that pops up.
I guess I don't understand how that works. I mean, they'll just follow us, right? When you get into a room that requires, for example, passing a test to discard the goblin banner, you pretty much have to stop and take out the goblins first. At that point, every ignored monster is going to come crashing in from behind.
And, out of curiosity, what happens if you could always keep ahead of the monsters, but were asked to put down monsters already on the board? For example, you open a door that would normally have you place an elemental, but it's still on the board behind you? Do you just ignore it and have an empty room in front of you?
But...even though we're getting crushed by perils eventually, we're still having a great time playing it almost every day!!
