During the second base scenario at the location City Gate:
After running through all of the cards in the location and declining the option to close the location, the red "forward" indicator cannot be selected to move forward with not closing the location and resetting the hand. However, once I clicked on the "discard" icon, it allowed me to move forward with ending my turn and not closing the location.
Also, on my next turn with the character at City Gate, when given the opportunity to close the location and it being accepted, the henchman "Bandit" was not displayed by the "Combat" check was allowed to be taken and completed in order to close the scenario.
