Road To Legend: Visiting Shops, Temples and Other Locations in Town?

By Darkfire14, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

One thing I am confused of is if PC's visit a town, how many buildings can they visit in a week. In other words, can a PC visit all locations in a town without using up a game week? It dosen't seem realistic to assume that it takes an entire week to visit just one location in a town. I have been playing it that PC's can visit as many locations as they want so long as they're AT the city and its not being sieged and this process dosen't use up a game week. Still, Market Items are drawn only once (although ANY PC can buy them), potions are limited by the alchemist raiting as usual, and Rumor cards are also drawn once a week. Other than that, everyone can visit the temple and heal its raiting so long as they pay the price, but if they want the full healing they'll have to stay there for the week. This allows PC's to do their activities in the city as well as get their training done at the same time. Am I doing this right by any chance?

Now another question I have is that if time passes, thus a new game week starts while in town, would the Alchemist, Rumors and Market Items refresh. In other words could you wait in town for a few weeks and cycle through the item deck (useful in a place like Riverwatch that never has a market shortage and draws a good deal of items). Any information would be most useful.

Where to start?

First off, lose the "PC" terminology and start using "Heroes" or "Party"

If the "Heroes" beging their Week in a town, they can use their week action to stay there and Train/Recuperate. Each hero can go to ONE building and perform the action there under the "Train/Recuperate" circumstance.

If the "Heroes" END their Move Action in atown, they can VISIT the buildings. Each hero can go to ONE building and perform the action there under the "VISIT" circumstance

If the "Heroes" are exploring a dungeon and a hero returns to town that hero can RESTOCK. He goes to ONE building and performs the action there under the "RESTOCK" circumstance

Hope that helps

Seconded. If you allow your heroes to go visit the alchemist, market AND the temple to get healed, this is not what is in the rules and gives your heroes an unfair advantage.

However, all it takes is 1 person to go to the alchmist, since the number of potions is limited to X no matter how many people go there. And they can be distributed amongst the group as they see fit. Same with the market - only needs 1 to go. And also the tavern. No point sending more than one person there.

Letting them go to all the buildings is one thing (even though it goes outside the RAW), but also allowing them to Train during that week is crazy.
