Question: Placing Reinforcements & 1st Turn

By Klawful, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Question 1:

When you place reinforcements, are you allowed to place "Master" monsters that have been killed?

Question 2:

Who gets the first turn? The Heroes or the Overlord, or is it based on which side choose the quest?

Thankyou!

1) Yes.

2)Heroes.

1) Yes unless otherwise stated by the quest...

2) Heroes unless otherwise stated by the quest...

After reinforcements are placed at the start of the OL's turn, are they then activated during the same turn? I think they would be unless the quest states that reinforcements are placed at the end of the OL's turn...

Yes they are if placed at the beginning of the turn. Remember that they can be activated anytime during that turn. Placing them does not count as activating...just last time I had a discussion about this.

Yep- that's the main difference between reinforcements placed at the beginning or end of the OL turn.

Take a look a the overlord turn summary card.

If they quest state that reinforcements are placed at the start of the overlord turn then they are placed during "Start of turn" which comes before activating monsters, therefore they are allowed to be activated the same turn.
