Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition):: General:: Clarifications for a new player

Hello,

I'm new to the game which I've just bought, no expansions. We've just gone through the introductory quest in the Heirs of Blood campaign (apparently it's no longer the same one as in many YouTube videos). Several things were unclear to us:

1. The reinforcements section of the quest reads (I'm translating from French): "the overlord may place 2 Goblin Archers in the den". Does this mean the only valid number of monsters is 2? For example, in a two-hero game (limit of 2 regular and 1 expert monster), if there are only 1 of each in play, the overlord can't add just 1 regular goblin?

2. In our first playthrough, goblins and barghests just huddled up in the narrow pathway, creating a front with the heroes. There was no need for heroes to use any fatigue to move, it was a pretty static affair. As a consequence, it was as if fatigue didn't even exist as a parameter in the game. Is this how it should be?

3. Jain has a special capacity which allows her to split damage between her health and her fatigue. What happens when her fatigue is filled up? Does this mean all damage has to be attributed to her health?

4. From the "special rules" section, do I conclude correctly that it's possible for the overlord to gain 2 fatigue tokens every round?

5. The stamina potion's text doesn't have the "arrow" action icon. Does this mean that drinking a potion doesn't consume an action? Seems weird since transferring control of the acolyte costs an action.

Thank you very much for your help.
