So someone on Reddit brought up an interesting question and no one has an answer, so we're now all wondering the same thing.

According to the rules on page 211, you do a delving roll and cross a number of zones equal to the successes before encountering a hazard. Most important for this question is that according to the rules, if you cross through multiple Blight zones, you only need to check for Blight damage once based on the zone with the highest rating you cross through.

On page 213, rules state you don't need to do any delving rolls or check for hazards on the way back up.

Cool. So what about the Blight in those zones you pass through on the way back up? Do you only take the highest Blight value across ALL the zones you cross through on the way back and only deal Blight damage once?

I'm not going to have them suffer blight on the return trip. They have already "encountered" it and dealt with it, and they still need to spend supply. Of course, if they take another path, then I will, but if they take a path they haven't used they will need to make a Delve roll, so normal rules will apply.

Hi!

Our intention with the going back rules were to minimize the amount of rolls on the way back, under the assumption that the way back was familial. Therefore the Explorers won't be exposed to the Blight in the extent that they need to make rolls.

Thanks!

That was my instinct, but its good to see official confirmation, thank you!
