End scenario and recharging your hand

[Kevin Fernandes]

I did not specifically see this in the rules, so this may be a dumb question but if a PC fights the Villain in the final location, defeats him (it), does the PC have to have enough cards in their deck to recharge their hand before the scenario is officially over or is the scenario over as soon as the villain is defeated (in the final location)?

My group has assumed that the scenario ends immediately upon the villains demise, but having to recharge your hand also would add an extra layer of complication at times - not to mention a valiant self sacrifice, the type that grand tales are made of :)

I believe the scenario ends as soon as you defeat the villain if it doen't have anywere to run to.

Either way, you don't conclude the turn—you're done!
