This time they kept their eyes on the prize, with a slight diversion when the first room became Compromised (reverting to unsecured) before Negan had set foot in it. Dwight had to rush back down the corridor to Secure it with John.
Moral: keep Negan in corridors until after that Event card has been revealed, use Clear The Way to hustle him through, but keep him at least three spaces behind the survivor in front if you are in a corridor.
They all made it through to the end room, with only a few bumps and bruises - this time John did not die at the end.
Game six was a success, again they kept their eyes on the prize and dragged Negan clear of the first room before it was compromised.
Game seven was Big League. All five characters plus Negan. The map had more doors and rooms to secure.
Because of the pinch point on the corridor, Dwight and Tara lead the way towards the Exit. Sherry and John went and cleared the room behind them.
Laura picked up the Supply token in the first room (an Angle Grinder!).
It was all going swimmingly until one of the Event cards opened the lower side room while Tar was passing releasing a number of Walkers. She fought them off and with John Secured the room.
When Dwight reached the Exit Room, it was on fire.
The Rivals Event card gave Laura +1 Actions (and Sherry -1 Actions) which was put to good use to get Laura up to the Exit room. Laura's ability to spend two actions on the same Action meant that they got the Fires out and the room secured.
Negan was then hustled across the board with Clear The Way with Sherry being the Tail End Charlie and not making it to the final photograph (she survived).
