Regarding scenario 1 - the Mummy
WARNING SPOILERS!
************************************************** ****
It seems strange that the haunt revealer does not become the traitor. The flavor text in the Traitor's book makes it seem as though the person who discovers the sarcophagus becomes servant to the Mummy. This should be the haunt revealer, not the person to their left.
Also, this scenario brings up what is perhaps a more general point about skill roll tokens. The first knowledge roll is to learn the name of the Mummy. The second is to find this name in the book. So, it seems that if the Hero to make the first knowledge roll is not the one with the book, he will need to meet up with the Hero who does have the book before he can look up the name. So the first character would essentially have to hand off the Knowledge Roll token to the character with the book as if it were an item before the second knowledge roll could be attempted. This seems to be suggested by the passage that says that the character with 2 knowledge roll tokens and the book can "attack" the Mummy. Is this the correct interpretation?
This is confusing in the Hero's book because it refers to the Hero as though it were only one person. This suggests a more general question. If one Hero discovers something (such as the first Knowledge Token in this scenario), should other characters be assumed to be in communication as though they have walkie-talkies, or do they in fact need to meet up to exchange this knowledge as I've described above? I ask because I'm guessing this sort of thing comes up in other scenarios as well.
