Question: Gryvorn Unleashed Scene I

By Funkfried, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Aloha,

I neither can't find an answer in the forum nor in the quest guide; do monster have to spend an action to pick up the ritual components in scene 1 of the Gryvorn Unleashed finale?

Best Regards

Funkfried

I don't have my quest guide at the moment, but I'm pretty sure those are objective tokens. The rulebook has a section on objective tokens stating the default rules when a quest lets figures pick up objective tokens as an action. Is there a particular trigger listed?

"While in a space adjacent to a token, a monster may pick it up"

"When a monster enters a slace containing a token, it picks it up" ,etc?

There is not an errata for this encounter, so I would go by the rules as they are in the quest guide. When I get mine later I'll take a look at the wording.

There is only a passage related to monsters leaving the map carrying the ritual components.

The manual states the following:

"Certain quests allow heroes or monsters to pick up objective tokens. Figures may pick up these objective tokens by performing a special action while adjacent to or in the same space as the objective token. The objective token is then placed on either the Hero sheet (if carried by a hero) or on the monster figure’s base (if carried by a monster). While a figure is carrying an objective token, no other figure can pick it up. A figure can drop an objective token in an adjacent space by performing an action. When a figure carrying an objective is defeated, place the token in that figure’s space. It may now be picked up by another figure."

Therefore I would guess as long these tokens are called objective tokens one can reference the passage above and they would require an action. Thanks for your held Zaltyre.
