"Smells Like..." and Lurking Monsters

Cheddar Limbo · 02-12-2009, 09:45 PM

Will cards like "Smells Like Dinner" and Monster Magnetism move Lurking Monsters? Or does the "if it can do so legally" clause in the curse mean that lurking monsters cannot be moved?

Thanks!

Yes, the "if it can do so legally" clause would mean that you could not use those type of cards to move a lurking monster. Lurking monsters don't move unless they lose the lurking ability (I believe the "Fast" monster enhancer removes the lurking ability), which means it is not legal for those monsters to move.

Actually, the rules state:

A yellow footprint with a slash through it means the monster is Lurking. A Lurking monster doesn’t move during the Monster Turn, but cards that move monsters will affect it normally.

So Smells Like... and it's ilk can move lurking monsters.

Well, then I stand corrected.

I think the "if it can do so legally" clause is related to doors, walls or passageways.

What of the darkness? Say your dungeon is shaped like this:

oo-o

with - being the darkness. Can a monster in room 4 traverse the darkness to get "one room closer" and end up in room 2?

(I'd guess "yes".)

Similarly (and I'll guess "no" here, but I figured I have to ask) can a monster simply move "right" and "wrap around" to room 1 to move "one room closer"?

I treat this in the same way we play Winds of Fate - you can only move them into previously explored rooms.
