Monster Movement in JitD

By InsufficientNoj, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Howdy,

i'm new to the game, having only played twice (as the OL, and I got rolled both times...)

A situation in the first quest brought up a question: are Large Monsters only able to move through an area if they can fit?

The situation that prompted the question was the room right before the giant Narthak, where the Red Spider is behind the rubble token, I think it's area 3 techincally... The placement of the rubble seems to seriously limit the movement of the monster...

This is probably pretty obvious, but like I said, I'm still new to the game.

Thanks

Yup that spider is hopelessly screwed :-)

However, note that monsters can move and attack through that diagnol space at the end of the rubble where the corner meets the wall.

thanks.

yeah i think it lasted about a turn. One of the players had Varithras and some really mean skill cards, so it was pretty much his brute force that plowed through teh quest. From the gold treasure chest he drew some axe from WoD that ate Narthak alive....

I'll get em in the next quest though...

That's actually longer than I would expect from experienced heroes. It's not uncommon for heroes to open a new room and kill every single monster in it before the overlord gets a turn.
