hero encounter?

[kitty]

i have a mission to interact with an encounter with my hero - the game didn't explain what an encounter is, and zooming out on my map, there's nothing highlighted with my hero that indicates what im looking for.
googling it also gives me absolutely zero hits.
a) can we have a way to access the tutorials on these things, please?
b) what is this, what am i doing, and how do i do it?

thanks for any and all help, i hate failing missions like this :[

You must own a quad with encounters. Currently, only ruins and the "Talking Tree" are implemented. More will probably follow. Enter the ruins with your hero.

Look for ruins and the talking tree, you can send your hero to interact with them if either is in territory you own. While in the buy territory menue it will say what is in that territory when you hover over it.

I still don't get it - how do I enter the ruins with my hero?

edit: nevermind. in case anyone else runs across this thread, you have to build a specific building, the Hero Quarters.

Has anyone had the issue where they can't talk to the talking tree? I get my hero over there but it won't let me. No matter what I do I can do ruins. I can do the beanstalk but I can't do the talking tree

Have you bought the area? This is probably the cause, you can only interact on areas you own.

Encounters are: on the map from the beginning are talking tree, missing shoe, wishing well, ruins, graveyard, witch's hut, stone troll and the ones that can spawn are beanstalk (random event to buy the bean), cyclops, faun, gnomes, girl with red cape. Maybe more.

If you haven't bought a neighbouring territory yet it will tell you what it contains.
