*The applied bonuses are accumulated. Example: If there is a Level 8 Hero in play, the Game Master must apply all 8 Bonuses to the game.
Journey Cards
The Journey phase takes place between the end of the Quest the Heroes have just played and the beginning of the next Quest they have not yet played. To resolve this phase, the Game Master must consult the Wandering Monster symbols at the end of the Quest just played and the symbols of the next Quest to be played. The Game Master must draw as many Journey cards as symbols appear in this way and read to the players, in that same order, the events that have the name of the Wandering Monster from each symbol mentioned above. The Heroes must complete such events one at a time and in the same order.
Example: In the Quest just played, there are 2 "Skeleton" (Wandering Monster) symbol and in the next Quest, there is an "Orc" symbol. The GM must draw 3 Journey cards.
*If there is a Wandering Monster symbol in the Quest Book that does not appear on the Journey card, it is considered that no noteworthy event has occurred.
