So, the other night we played this one and came upon an interesting situation. The hero who had the casket was knocked out, but when it happened he was sorrounded on all sides by enemies, one of which being the baron. Now the rules say that the casket is supposed to be placed in an adjacent empty space, but there was no legal place for it to go. We werent sure what to do, but ruled that since the baron hadnt gone yet he was able to pick it up.

Another thing that happened was that I blocked the the middle river tile with monsters and one hero wanted to use the river edge to swim, not that he manage to succede his role with an awareness of 2. Since he was the necromancer he figured that if he had succeded then he would be in limbo between the two tiles and could then summon the reanimate on the other tile to clear the space for him to come in. I obviously disagreed with this interperetation of things, but thankfully it never came up.

For the first part, as I remember, you have to drop the casket on an adjacent space, or as close to one as you can. So in your case, being that all the adjacent spaces were occupied, it would have to go in an empty space close to adjacent instead.

As for the second part, as near as I can tell, if all 4 spaces of the stream are occupied then you can't attempt that test since there would be no place to move to. There is no such thing as limbo in this game, you always exist on the board, with the exception I suppose of escaping via the exit.

When you are knocked out & tokenized, that counts as an empty space, I believe. Seems like that would then be the closest one …
