Page 40 - New Fellowship Undertakings: Great to see more of these introduced, but a bit more clarification would be nice.
Are they normal or Yule Undertakings? "Journey to the Stone of the Hapless" feels more like a personal Undertaking that more than one Player-Hero could choose, normally only allowed at Yule, (plus it involves quite a lot of travel). But it seems like the wrong time of year to be sailing off to such a remote location. The "Hunt with the Lossoth" Undertaking seems more obviously to be a normal Undertaking.
Also, Fellowship Undertakings take place in the Fellowship Phase and the company decides the location, which is usually a Safe Haven. It would be useful if the new Undertakings included suggestions for suitable Safe Havens where they could be chosen.
This leads to a query about the effect of the second Undertaking, "Hunt with the Lossoth" - it grants a new Safe Haven for the duration of the next Adventure Phase, but mechanically, Safe Havens are only really used during Fellowship Phases. You could interpret the effect as being able to choose the location for your next Fellowship Phase, but the main benefit of doing this would appear to be because it's the best location to choose the "Hunt with the Lossoth" Undertaking again!
Blistering barnacles!
