RTL - Glyphs

By twak2, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi all just got back from a full day of Road to Legend-ing, was great!

I have a few question's I'd like to put to you people regarding exiting dungeons.

If the heroes wish to exit the dungon on lvl 3 and return to where the dungeon is located on the map can they only do this via the exit portal rather than the portal or any other glyph on that last lvl?

What if 1 hero is back in town while the rest exit, does that hero have to re-enter the dungeon and then exit again before the dungeon is complete, or does he just catch up with the rest of them?

While we're talking about glyphs how about this scenario:

At the start of a dungeon level the Runewitch goes 1st, rushes through the dungeon level and activates the 2nd glyph. In their turns can the other heroes now enter through that 2nd glyph? (am I right in thinking that the heroes don't all start on the board next to the 1st glyph?)

Thanks for the input all!

The heroes can exit the dungeon by the portal or the glyph. When all heroes are no longer in the dungeon and at least one has reached the portal the level is over. The party can choose to stay at their location on the map even if some of them went to town by a glyph. the heroes in town just "catch up".

Heroes start every level next to a glyph in the dungeon. Even if they were in town on the previous level.

When you begin a level, all the characters start on the board, (they do not "enter thru the portal" on their first turn) so this wouldn't work. Additionally, moving through glyphs in RtL and SoB is significantly different than in "vanilla" games. You must begin your turn on or adjacent to a glyph in order to use it, and once you move through it, you must take a restock action in town (consuming that player's turn) before returning a subsequent turn.

Also note, that the Runewitch has her ability cut down to 3 squares in RtL and SoB games since the dungeons are so small.
