Some Questions About Lieutenants and Siege

By AndreaDraco83, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hey folks, I have a couple of quick questions for you :)

1. If the Overlord has two different lieutenants laying siege to a city, does he add two siege tokens every turn?

2. Like above, if there are two lieutenants on a city and the heroes arrive there, do they battle the two lieutenants at the same time or one at a time?

3. If the Overlord has two lieutenants when he has to resolve a siege, does he roll two power dice or does he always roll only one die?

Thanks very much!

1. If the Overlord has two different lieutenants laying siege to a city, does he add two siege tokens every turn?

Yes. He orders each Lt. to siege the city and as a result gets to place a siege token for each Lt. he so ordered. Up to the defense rating of the city being sieged.

2. Like above, if there are two lieutenants on a city and the heroes arrive there, do they battle the two lieutenants at the same time or one at a time?

Each Lt. encounter is separate. The heroes may pick the order in which they fight the Lts. and they may stop fighting after the first one if they so choose. They are not required to fight any of the Lts. they can sneak past to the city. They may also choose to fight the first Lt. and then go to the city. One important thing to remember is that they cannot 'visit' the city and then fight the Lts. They must fight first if they plan on fighting at all.

3. If the Overlord has two lieutenants when he has to resolve a siege, does he roll two power dice or does he always roll only one die?

The raze roll is not dependant on the number of Lts. and as such does not get extra dice for extra Lts. Normally that is only one die unless the plot Obsidian Shackles has been picked. The free card from OS allows the OL to roll two dice when resolving sieges.

Thank you very much! :)
