Hello,
At the time, no matter what I did, every scenario would start with Elyrium as the first encounter. Often (but not always) the card would stay superimposed over all the screens, including the party formation and card choice screens, the map, etc.

I was playing in Story mode. Changing the party members, or changing locations didn't fix it. Even going back to the earlier scenarios in Perils, it still happened, even though Elyrium isn't the villain in those scenarios.
I restarted Story mode and now the problem is gone, but not solved. I'm not back to Trouble at Sandpoint yet so I don't know if it will happen again yet.
I dont remember if I exited the app while playing that scenario, unfortunately. I do know that I'd played it and failed several times before with different characters in my party before this bug. I'd also encountered Elyrium in those scenarios too and didn't have the bug either. In fact, she killed the last member of my party and I started the scenario again. The first card at the first location was Elyrium, but then this looping bug occurred.
