Rewards for Normal and Rumor 3rd level of dungeon question.

By Helznicht, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Has anybody found anything clarifying this?

RTL Manual pg 18

The Third Level
The master of each dungeon location’s third level is the dungeon leader. The dungeon leader has the same stats as a
normal leader, but when the dungeon leader is killed the heroes receive 250 coins and 4 conquest tokens (rather than 100 and
2, respectively).

and on same page concerning rumor dungeons:

The first and second
levels are played as normal dungeon levels are (i.e., Dungeon Level cards are drawn, and so on). The third level, however, is
specific to the active Rumor.

And on page 19

The Rumor level is played according to the Quest Guide description and rules, which also specify the conditions the
heroes must meet to receive the Rumor reward. The reward is granted immediately when the conditions are met.

Me and the wife at oods on this one. She believes the rumor reward replaces the exp and gold reward for killing the 3rd level boss. I believe the heroes would still get the 4 exp and 250 gold, in adition to the rumor cards reward.

How have you guys been playing, seen any thing in the manual clarifying this?

I asked this a while back. The general consensus, lacking an official answer is yes they do.

They get 250 coins, 4XP, and the benefit of the rumour card too.
