Yes, ending your turn inside solid rock (vs. entering it at any time) is what leads to being "trapped forever" (death) in the base rules.

exactly! I was trying to get my wizard away from a Chaos Warrior in a standard HQ ply...go through the walls and get to a corridor or previously occupied room. But the second I went into a dead wall it was over. I only got 1 step into the wall and it ruled my wizard dead. When I said I had a heal potion or heal to get out of it...it did not spit the wizard out of the wall to the nearest unoccupied space. But My wizard was "alive" in the wall...with no way out....
So I lied to the system, told it I had the ring of return and got back to the stairwell. So I was able to start back there, but it really pissed me off.

Weird! See, a dead Hero shouldn't be able to use the Ring of Return either since it requires an action. I was thinking maybe a Hero could pass through the wall to retrieve the body and once on the other side (on a future turn) use the Elixir of Life, but of course that wouldn't bypass the issue in the first place which is that touching solid rock = trapped in this App.

I've you've got instagram or twitter, I would send that one in to Hasbro/Avalon Hill!

It asked if it should kill the wizard. I said no I got a heal. Then it just left me in the wall. Then I thought....I bet Ring of Return would get me to the stairwell if I claimed to have it. Worked. I accepted the cheese as the call my Wizard would have died was bogus and not spitting him out the wall was bogus, so I will make a bogus call of my own. (The Dwarf is the one who actually has the ring of return.) It should make you assign artifacts to specific characters.

Any word on when KK and ROTWL will be released for the app? My heroes have finished the quest book. Was fun going through the quests as a player solo. Got my dice, notes and cards out on my desk. Now I am thinking of trying out the new heroes with a dwarf for another go through the mission and see how things go. Most the warrior stuff will auto go to the Dwarf so he will stack up bad ass but not having played the new guys yet I am wondering if they will wipe.
I came very close in the Castle of Mystery to losing the entire party. Only had the Dwarf and Barbarian on that one at the end. Took the time to collect the dead dudes stuff to outfit the new dudes. Barbarian did ok. Dwarf ended with 1 BP. Elf and Wizard did not survive. 1st move for the wizard put him in the room with 2 Chaos Warriors and I knew he was fubar. Then the one CW he targeted with Ball of Flame the dude rolled a 5 and 6....Knew my wizard was toast for sure then and there and sure enough....

Originally I was going to have to get a smart phone (it's a long story) and planned to fire up the app on there, but since I found a better solution I won't be. As such I won't be able to try out the app (BlueStacks is slow AND it gives me an error saying I'm not connected to the network so I can't install new apps!). I am glad however to see others have shown the new artwork and are playtesting it and finding errors in it (hopefully Hasbro will see those reports and make corrections).

It seems it's fairly good although not a replacement for the physical game, and less complete than the Mythic Tier (only including the extra artifacts and heroes but not the new quests yet). To me playing as Zargon is a lot of fun (or at the very least having a human player controlling him). As such its more of a test-app, for newbies and a novelty for those who aren't part of the community and can't find a game.
Great potential free advertising for the base game if it isn't too confusing of course!

I was able to find the app for my iPhone but when I tried to add it to my Android tablet I couldn't find it on the Play Store. Any word on this?
