What happens if i kill only one enemy at the adventure site?

[Watno]

Depends on the adventure site I think.

[popsofctown]

The one next to my hex

[popsofctown]

The rules seem to indicate that I can wait a while and finish off the other enemy later.  Therefore,


Use Double Move to move to the nearby ruins
Discard the spell in my hand (mandatory)
End my turn

[Watno]

Yeah, the undefeated enemies stay there.

[popsofctown]

So, I was flipping through the rules and reading about the knockout rule.  The rule says if you take a number of wounds equal or greater to your handsize limit, you discard your hand.  Then it says "This minotaur here is a good example, look what it does to your starting stats".

But the Minotaur is brutal with attack of 4.  Since it does 8 damage unblocked, and you have 2 armor to start with, you should take 4 wounds, and not get knocked out right? 
I'm rather confused, the first time I read the rules I wasn't paying that much attention and I was like, "oh ok, they're using a basic example of a monster that can knock you out on its own, that's smart", but now when I reread I'm like hey, that's not making sense to me.

The status says we are all level 1.

We all started at level 0...so we are all at level 1.

Minotaur has attack 5...at least the image in the back of the walkthrough does.  Brutal attack 4 is the orc ironclad (which is pictured on the previous page of the walkthrough when describing the "Physical Resistance" modifier.

[popsofctown]

I get it.  Is it Jorbles turn now?

[theorel]

Yes, we're back to Jorbles.

[Jorbles]

Oh cool, back to me. One second.

[Jorbles]

Use White Crystal and play Pure Magic for 4 Influence.
Play March sideways for Influence, use Universal Power and the Green mana die to make it 4 Influence.
Spend 7 Influence to convince the locals to give me their Guardian Golems.
Use my final 1 point of influence to convince the owner of the keep to loan me some money to buy a beer.

[Jorbles]

Does that check out? If it does here's my roll for the new mana die:

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

[Jorbles]

5 = Blue.

[Watno]

I declare end of round.
1 more turn for everyone.

[popsofctown]

I think it's theorel's turn, but in advance, I will do nothing else until end of round

[popsofctown]

Hypothetically, if I wanted to move with no cards in hand, would I be permitted to?  I know if end of round had not yet been called, I would be obligated to call it, but I'm not sure what happens when it's already been called.

[theorel]

If you have no cards in deck and no hand you are required to do nothing.

I Threaten the crystal mine for a useless influence 2.  Gaining a white crystal.

[popsofctown]

Jorbles turn, I do nothing and nothing happens either.

If I was on a crystal mine with no cards in hand would I draw a crystal?

[popsofctown]

Qvist, with your knowledge of Jorbles hand it may or may not be possible to determine that he cant' do anything with his last card, and go ahead to setting up Night.

[theorel]

I wanted to check to be sure...relevant rules are Page 5: A Player's Turn 2d, and 3.  quoted below, short answer is you get nothing.

d. If you have no cards in your hand and Deed deck, but the
End of the Round has already been announced by another
player, you must forfeit your turn.
3. If you forfeit your turn, your turn ends immediately; you cannot
even use the benefits of a map space you occupy (mines or
magical glade).

[Jorbles]

Actually I can do one thing which is use my last non-Wound card to Rest discarding my Wound cards.

[popsofctown]

You don't have any Wound cards in hand though.  You are resting in order to discard 0 Wound cards?

[Jorbles]

I should have 2 wound cards from when I took the Keep. I think Qvist forgot to put them in my hand.

[popsofctown]

I see.  Discarding the wounds doesn't actually do anything though, right?  Either way, they get shuffled in for the next round.
