[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7339886, member: 1"] I was running my first Adventures in Middle Earth game last night, and got slightly confused by the journey rules. In the short adventure "Don't Leave The Path", where does the journey begin and end, and when do the journey phases take place? I assume the first boat ride but with the elves is a freebie, and doesn't count. So the journey rules kick in with Embarkation after the Elf Kings hall. So I roll Embarkation, and get 2 encounters during the journey. I then run those two encounters. And ask for the two Wis checks to avoid Shadow Points. Then, partway through the journey, some scripted encounters take place - spiders, hermit, well. These are presumably in addition to the two random encounters. And then the party arrives at Forest Gate and I roll for Arrival. Then the adventure ends, so presumable nobody cares much about the Arrival step. I feel like I've gone wrong somewhere. How do the Journey rules interact with the scripted events in the adventure, especially given that the whole adventure is the journey? Anybody run this can help me out? [/QUOTE]
