RtL SQ upgrades and Caverns of Thuul (spoil): two questions

By biso, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

reappear fully healed the next time the heroes pick up a gemstone cache

Thanks

I don't know the answer to the first, not having played the Spider Queen.

As for he Dragon, I don't have the book out in front of me but aren't there three encounter markers on the board? So it would be able to reappear three times, as you remove one for each time it appears.

Do you mean that it reappear the next time the heroes pick up a gemstone cache IN ANOTHER AREA? Isn't obvious? I thought it could be able to reappear several time in the same area demonio.gif

Yes, it reapperas in the next area, the dragon doesn't respawn in the same area.

With regard to the spider queen, her stats are very low, so to have a chance at surviving the final battle, you need to get the armor upgrade, the wound-absorbing upgrade (I forgot what it's called), and the upgrade that slaps web tokens on people every time they declare a battle action. A speed upgrade is also pretty useful because of how her attacks work, and her upgrade to Bane Spiders can help to make their attack (and therefore your attack) somewhat less completely useless. The Spider Queen is, I think, the weakest avatar, so you should focus on making it impossible for the heroes to succeed at the twins rumor, because you really can't afford to lose 2 upgrades.
