Can one hero defend against the three enemies and one hero attacks? Or, do two enemies pair up with two of the readied heroes to either choose to defend or attack - but then, what is done with the third enemy?

thanks

You have 2 heroes to use.

You can attempt to block 2 of the attacks, using your heroes, but leaving none (of your heroes) for attacking back.

You can block one, let 2 through, and use your hero to attack later.

or you can ignore the three attacking monsters, taking full damage, and use both of your heroes to attack later.

and for the last part.

The 3rd enemy attacks as normal, has no blockers, and hits you for full damage.

This is what I thought I read in the book, but other threads made me think twice about this. So, I assume that for the third attack, it goes to any of my four exhausted characters as an undefended attack?

thanks for the quick responses! :D
