Question about 'Read a Dialog' on map cards

The first card you get for the map has some 'Read a Dialog' boxes on it and we couldn't find anything about when we should read them.

Was there a rule about this? At the moment we just read the one in the direction we were going.

Wording on class icons in result area could have been clarified with an example

When resolving an action and being able to take class symbols in the results area of cards into account my group found the wording confusing and felt it could have easily been clarified with a slightly deeper example.

The wording:
Convert class icons into various bonuses
Some effects enable the active plyer to convert into various bonuses the class icons shown in the result areas of the revealed cards, on the purse cards they have selected, on the cards in their hand, on the side quest cards, etc


We felt that it could be read the correct way, that the class icons in the result areas of the revealed cards and not the result area of any other cards, and also, that the class icons in the results areas of all the other cards noted are included.

After completing the first scenario in Daedachaem's Awakening a card confirmed for us that the rule is the former rather than the latter, but we just felt an example that specifically noted this would have been really helpful.

EDIT: I've just noticed a golden rule on the back on the manual!

Any stars or class icons in the result area of cards are only ever taken into account when they are revealed from the active player's Action Deck during the Result step of an action.


Doh!

Compound actions are poorly explained

It has taken me reading the manual, watching the rules intro video, and consulting BGG, but I think I finally understand how compound actions work.

The examples given in the manual and video are good for a scenario where you succeed, but they don't explain that if an action fails and the failure result doesn't move the die to another row then the die value is reduced by the number of successes that were achieved - reducing the difficulty for the next attempt. (note: I just found the explanation for this in the FAQ - https://the7thcitadel.seriouspoulp.com/en/resources/faqs/165/#rules)

The other part they don't make clear is that any further attempts will be on whatever row of the compound action the last attempt was on (unless the result indicates to move the die to a new row or remove the card).

These two things had my group really stumped.
