In playing through The Dragon's Demand so far we've found some points of confusion in the storybook. I wanted to bring attention to them so that they can get some clarification and possibly a FAQ entry. I suspect that these will be a thorn for others as well.
In the Dragon's Demand scenario 1C (The Wizard's Estate) the danger says to randomly choose a new Eldritch story bane. However the Eldritch trait does not appear on any story banes. The "during the scenario" text also references Eldritch story banes. For this one I assumed all of the level 1 story banes that had the magic trait or were barriers. Unlike the other two, I wasn't very certain about this one.
Scenario 1C, which does not have a villain, also doesn't list an alternative victory condition. Based on scenario 1A (And lots of prior experience with the PACG) I assumed that the condition was to close all locations.
Similarly, in scenario 2B (A Piece of the Auction) the danger says to randomly choose a new Artifice story bane. The Artifice trait does not appear on any story banes. For this one I assumed that it meant Construct.
For the first and last question, look at the back of your Wildcard card, it has a table of banes to randomly generate story banes of a certain theme, Eldritch and and Construct should be on that.

Ahhhhhhh. Thank you. I never even looked at the back of the wildcards to notice that. Thanks for pointing that out. That makes things much clearer.
