Are the towns in the availability column a hierarchy or must you actually visit a busy crossroads specifically for that piece?
Good question! It’s a hierarchy (from most restricted availability to greatest availability):
Wizard’s Tower/Religious Bastion
Bustling Metropolis
Busy Crossroads
Remote Village
All Settlements
When do you roll the portions for a wheel of cheese?
I would roll the first time you use it.
Reinforced helmet works twice automatically (no roll) then is broken or lost?
Does “two hits” mean two hit points from a single action, or must it be one hit point from two different actions?
