Ok. I know part of this question has been "answered" by a fan, but I'd like to get some actual feedback that makes sense here. Especially in regards to timing, etc.

I've noticed that you can play a Hero Guest Advisor as a "replacement" Lore Master; that is, the Hero alone will count as a Level 1 Lore Master in the absence of the Lore Master. However, to field a Hero requires that you have a Lore Master of that same class present on the War Council. So, the questions:

1. Can you field a Hero and have one as an Advisor on the War Council in the same adventure?

2. At what point in the set-up does the Advisor Hero appear on the War Council? During the Hero deployment phase or during the "Call the War Council" phase?

• I'm assuming here that heroes are deployed onto the battlefield directly before the first player's first turn, after all other deployments, even though this is not explicitly stated in the rules (the word "directly" is absent, hence potentially allowing for the hero to be deployed at nearly any time during the setup).

3. Does a Level 2 Lore Master and a Guest Advisor of the same class warrant a Lore Master Landmark?

• I can see game-wise how it would make sense for it NOT to, but I noticed the rules state that a token on the guest spot raises the level of the corresponding Lore Master. So anyway...if the Guest Advisor is deployed with the War Council, I would assume that you'd get a landmark. But if he/she is deployed with the other heroes, then I guess you wouldn't receive a Landmark. Either way clarification would be nice. I've been playing that you can have the Landmark if you use the guest token to raise your Lore Master's level to 3.

Thanks guys...happy playing.
