Yes, you must always move to the full extent of the 1d4 roll (See Quest Activity Movement Allowance) with two exceptions; you may voluntarily stop short on a village or stop short on an enemy quest party.
- Who owns a ship docked at the village harbor?
No one owns the ship, if there are no units aboard. You can drop some units off in the harbor, but you should leave at least 1 unit in the ship to bring the ship to safety during naval movement. The units dropped off may then roll for quest activity movement allowance during the quest activity phase and move to the corresponding Wasteland space.
- What happens to lost items, do they vanish?
Yes, if a monster for example defeats a quest party during a quest, all treasures and tools in the quest party's possession including companion cards are removed and returned to the game inventory.
