I was playing a single player game today and ran into something new which I did not know how to proceed. In a prior turn, I just killed off the last creature in the staging area, leaving it empty for the next round. I had 7 of 8 progress tokens on the quest card. During the next questing phase, I drew a location that had a threat strength of 2. I quested 3 allies/heros and had a willpower of 3. I win the questing phase by 1. I need one progress token to complete the quest and win the round. However, my question was, since I just drew a location, does that progress token go to the new location that I just drew (I have not traveled there yet)? Or do I send the progress token to the quest card, therefore winning the game. I think it is the latter, but just wanted someone's opinion.

you only travel to locations by choice (or if you draw a card saying you have to), therefore the tokens go onto the quest
