A few questions

By Vye King, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi all.

I have a few questions that came up in our game last night.

We were playing the quest Castle Delaeron (not sure of spelling, game kept at hobby shop) and a few questions came up.

During encounter 1, the heroes used villagers to block me from spawning in the enterance (I foolishly picked 2 groups of large monsters) If I cannot fit a monster in the enterance, what happens? We played that I was forced to only spawn in the exit tile, but a read of the rules seemed to indicate that I could just spawwn in the spaces next to the enterance.

During encounter 2, the master Ettin walked up to Sir Palamon and threw him over his shoulder to the basic Ettin. Next turn he threw him past the minion and Farrow kept beating the snot out of him while the Ettins blocked the hallway. Noone could find anything that said I couldn't do this, but it was so powerful that we wanted to double check.

Thanks in advance.

If there are figures blocking the entrance, the OL reinforces to the closest open space(s) he can find. This is mentioned on the inside cover of the quest guide, btw.

I thought I had read somewhere that Palamon can't be moved by force, but I can't find it now. It isn't in the official FAQ at any rate, so if you're only interested in RAW, there's nothing to say this tactic is illegal.

I saw that. I was just wondering if I could deploy on the tile when there was still space in the exit.

I saw nothing to sya Palamon couldn't be moved, the Farrow from that mission can't.

If there's room for your monster to deploy on the Exit, he must deploy there. If there isn't room, he deploys as close as possible.

That's correct, there is nothing in the rules, like I said. I'm pretty sure I've read something about this from FFG online, but I can't find you a post to reference right now.
