Zombies!!!!

2 part question

Playing Scenario 1 of Skin Saw Murders.
Undead Rising

the Scenario states When you defeat a Zombie Minion Henchman from a location desk, randomly select an open location and shuffle the Zombie Minion into that deck.

Question 1.

If I encounter the Zombie Minion a second time can I close the location. I.e. I have defeated him at 1 location and he has moved to a 2nd location can I close the location once defeated a 2nd time and move him to a different location?

Question 2.
We are be bopping along splendidly when we encounter a Zombie Horde Barrier! Which states that each person at an open location must summon and defeat a Zombie Minion. Once defeated do we follow the scenario and put them into random location. that gave us a SWEET total of 4 Zombies?

Q1) yes, absolutely

Q2) you've rather answered in the question - the scenario refers to Zombie Minions from location decks, but the ones you fought as part of the barrier were summoned from the box, not a location deck, so it is to there they return

Clarification of #1
If the answer is NO then in a 5 player or 6 player game you have 2 and 3 zombie's how do you know which is THE Zombie Hemchman that closes the location?

another problem is the fact that you have to face a Zombie Minion before you can face the Villain so that also goes back to my question if the answer is NO? I.e. defeat the zombie he moves you defeat the villain he escapes to another location.

#1 what happens to the other Henchman that was in that location? He doesn't have to be faced?

#2 I thought so but for the flow of the game we took a vote. but reading the Scenario is confusing because we did face a Zombie Henchman at an open location which fulfill the requirement of them staying but I agree with you. ***Edit*** Doh misread the Scenario you are correct

Any other henchman in the location when you close it would be banished. You didn't defeat them, so you can't apply the scenario rule.

Nothing changes as far as the core rules go. If there ends up being multiple Zombie Henchmen in a location deck, and you defeat one and successfully close the location afterwards, any remaining henchmen don't matter.

Anytime a card summons something from the box, that summoned card goes back to the box, period. Unless a card specifically references doing something else with summoned cards (but not cats in general).

In RotRL, there are no exceptions to putting the cards back, but we may see something like that in future sets.

This is correct, though to be even more accurate, summoned cards are "banished" after encountering them, regardless of the outcome. This distinction starts to matter when you reach the point at which you are removing banished cards from the game. Summoned cards are banished whether they are defeated, undefeated, or neither.

[Andrew K]

Yes, that is correct. Just one of those things that's in my head but I forgot that in a public forum, the distinction should always be made!

Also note that since you may end up having multiple henchmen in the same location, if you fail to defeat one, you will have another chance to close the location when you encounter another. this scenario is actually made to give you multiple chances to close locations without having to empty location decks.
