1) I'm not really clear on the wording for when you roll a 0 on the train dice. It says you cannot use the train but can move by road or sea. Does it mean that same turn? It seems to me like rolling a 0 would mean you've used your movement turn and just can't move so should remain in your current city. But is the rule stating that you can still move, it just must be by road or see?

2) On a Newspaper Report card, do you reveal the encounter on the card as well as the card itself?

On that note, if you reveal an encounter, are you supposed to leave it there until a Hunter actually encounters it?

3) This ties into the previous question. The Local Rumours card lets you reveal any encounter I believe, but why bother? Just so you know what you'll be facing. You don't discard it right?

4) For Storm Seas, when exactly must Dracula move to port if he's in that section of sea? It says immediately, so during the Hunters turn he's forced to move to a port, place the location card, and move the trail up by one? Does he resolve and mature encounters? Or should he just move into a port once his actual turn comes up and moving into port counts as his movement for that turn?

5) For Vampire Influence and Hypnosis cards, is it possible to always use these on Mina since she always has a bite?

6) If a location has been revealed and then falls off the trail, is it not eligible for the catacombs? I'm assuming not but it's not directly stated.

7) Some event Keep cards, like Good Luck, don't specify when they have to be played. Can they be played immediately or should they be saved until the Hunter's next turn?

[q="cardician"]

"Immediately" means "immediately". I don't think I've ever seen it come up, but I would rule that any encounter that drops off of the trail could be matured on Dracula's next turn.

1) Do you reveal sea locations like all others, when a hunter travels onto one? I assume so but it just seems like that's a lot more painful of a reveal.

2) What cards can be played before combat? Just the +1 cards like trap and Planning or can something like Foreswarned be played too?

3)Can you play multiple item or event cards in a row? Like multiple event cards that allow you to force the hunter to face a minion?

4) Finally, if a vampire is encountered and a bite results, and the hunter plays heavenly host, is the heavenly host card discarded?

My version of combat and possible card plays which is I think consistent with the rules and prevents anyone from playing a card that becomes moot. So is there a fight? Then what are the parameters of the fight? And D plays before the hunters.

For Combat w/ Dracula
1) Dracula could play Wild Horses
2) Any Hunter can play Escape Route; specific hunter Heroic Leap
3) Dracula could play Trap or Rage
4) Any Hunter could play Advanced Planning; specific hunter Garlic
5) Both side secretly pick first weapon, etc etc

For Combat w/ Minion
1) Specific Hunter could play Forewarned, Secret Weapon; Any could play Escape Route
2) Dracula could play Trap
3) Any Hunters could play Advanced Planning

Be aware that all participants are able to play all the pre combat cards they wish and play one at a time, so in these sequences, after performing 4 in the first or 3 in the second you would loop back to 3 or 2 respectively in case Dracula wanted to respond to the hunters' play after which the hunters would have another chance to respond to Dracula.
