After every scenario, whether it was a success or failure, players have the choice to either return to Gloomhaven or to immediately travel to a new scenario.

In the case that players immediately travel to a new scenario, they must complete a road event before starting the new scenario unless:

- They are playing the same scenario.

- The new scenario is linked to the previous scenario.

In a scenario’s entry in the Scenario Book, the scenarios that are linked to that entry are listed on the upper right side of the page . If the two scenarios are linked, players can immediately start the new scenario without completing a road event.

If players return to Gloomhaven:

Once they are finished with their business in town then the party will still need to travel to a new scenario and complete a road event unless the new scenario is linked to Gloomhaven.

Example: After completing the Black Barrow scenario, the party unlocks the Barrow Lair scenario. These two scenarios are linked, so they could travel to the Barrow Lair without completing a road event. Instead, they decide to go back to Gloomhaven to spend the money they gathered. Now when they travel to the Barrow Lair, they must complete a road event because the Barrow Lair is not linked to Gloomhaven.
