Few questions regarding RtL.

By TheSkullivan, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

I tried finding all of this stuff in the rulebook and I couldn't find it anywhere.

When the heroes picked up gold in the dungeon, is it 100 coins to the party treasury or 100 per hero into the treasury (400)?

The book talks about Kerak's Map and the Magic Boat. Where do you get them? O.o

I don't have Altar of Despair or Well of Darkness yet (ordered them today), so I don't understand how Treachery works or how you get it or how much you start with if any. x.x


Thanks a lot in advance for your answers.

1. 400 coins (100 each)

2. They are shop items, so any market

3. You dont start with any treachery. The OL has to buy it with his XP. Once you have the treachery, you can use it in a few different ways. The main one is to allow you to swap out a card in your deck for a super-card from the treachery deck. Note that this card swap is not permanent. Next dungeon, you may again use the treachery to swap out a card, but it could be a different card.

And if you haven't played yet, be careful about Crushing Blow. If the OL buys "green" treachery early and starts using Crushing Blow right from the start of the campaign, and then buys another point of treachery to put in the second crushing blow, you might find that your players get fed up, call the game broken and stupid and stop playing. Note: This has happened to more than one group. I'm not saying dont use it, because if you remove the card from the game, the heroes will eventually get very powerful combos going and you wont be able to do anything about it.

GAH! Why did you say this? Now its gonna happen. I'll start: Buy it and use it until you cause actual tears to come from your player's eyes. Then use it again.

How much is the Boat/Map?

The prices are on the cards.

If memory serves, the Boat is 1000gp and the Map is 2500 or something like that.

Ah, I didn't even see the cards. Whoops. Sorry about that. <3 Thanks a lot.
