Shadow of nerekhall - without mecry open monster group

By drderpling, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi all,

As the titel says in the qeust called without mecry we encouter a problem. it says the OL gets to choose a open group and in the setup it never is placed. Now our problem during the qeust is, at no point do they come on the map. we looked through all the rules but cant seem to find out when they get a spawnt

thanks in advance.

In some quests, the Open group is placed as part of the OL's influence.

IF the Influence is randomly selected, or determined by something otehr than the OL's choice, it's possible they would not be placed.

Of course, I"m AFB, so I can't look up the specific quest you're talking about.

I'm pretty sure Alarmed is right (I don't have my book handy either). If you don't see anything in the setup or reinforcements for what to do with a group, check the influence effects, as they are probably placed due to one (or more) effect.

I vaguely remember this quest, and I'm pretty sure that's the case here.

Quote from the Quest guide, The Executioner section:

"If a hero reveals the unique search token, or if there are no more prisoners on the map, reveal the influence effect, place the open group on the Altar , and read the following aloud [...]"

There you go.

If none of those conditions happens, the open group will not be placed.
