Shufling OL deck between levels and Treachery upgrades

By Christen, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi

I have searched the faq, forum and the net for the answers. But I have not found the answer pointed out.

I know when I start that a dungeon that I should shuffle the OL deck and take 3 cards. But what happens when I go to level 2.

I keep my hand, threats, and flip the eyes.

But do I shuffle the deck here? Put the discarded cards into the deck and shuffle.

Because if I am almost at the end of the deck the players go on. Then I shuffle the deck almost at once, then I could properly get it shuffled once more and kick them out of the doungen.

Another question:

As OL can I bye mutiple treachery as one ol upgrade? So i one week buy 2 treachery at the same time or does it count at one upgrade each?

No and no.

No, you don't shuffle the deck in between levels. Otherwise the overlord would rarely get his three CP for going through his deck completely.

No you can't buy two upgrades in one week, this includes treachery (as well as avatar upgrades, lieutenants or monster upgrades).

Thanks, I forgot to mension that it was RTL, sorry.

I dont find it that hard to stall the players so that I shuffle, but twice is hard.

The reasoning behind the "ejection rule" was to counter the "gaming of the system" that some players were doing by just staying in one dungeon indefiinitely forcing the OL to eventually reshuffle and slowly built up the CT count. I am of the opinion that if the players aren't abusing this idea, I don't really enforce it. If they are actually playing the game and not just dicking around, going through the deck more than once in a dungeon doesn't happen too often,.
