Hey all.

In order to get to the CoC, do players have to finish each space in the inner region, or can they just pick which route they want to take and make their way? If so, after they have encountered the space do they have to encounter it again?

In other words, do they have to complete everything in the inner region before CoC?

No, players are only required to pick one of the two routes.

Players only encounter the same space twice if they retreat for some reason, and make a run for the CoC at a later time.

Thank gawd, lol. Appreciate your help, Ocelot42.

One question that just occurred to me. The mines booted my wife out to the tavern last night (much to her dismay, hehe) so would that mean when she gained access to the inner region again she'd have to encounter the mines again? Or is it just retreats that would have you encounter the spaces again when you return?

You would encounter them again when you return to the Inner Region.

You do not encounter them if you have turned back from your ascent to the Crown of Command.

One or more of the spaces may require you to encounter the space more than 1 time, because you did not defeat it, and have to try again next turn. When you defeat a space, you move to the next space the next turn.
