I just started a new run and I notice that Guide thinks I've somehow burned 3 more turns of delay than I actually have at the Spooky Forest. Log from my first visit to the Spooky Forest is as follows:

Code:

Round 0: Malibu Stacey wins initiative!
Round 1: Malibu Stacey casts EXTRACT!
You acquire an item: Source essence
Round 2: Trolliam says, "As Neil Young once said, 'It's better to burn out, than to fade away,'" and beats your opponent with outrageous burning for 12 damage.
Round 2: bar takes 12 damage.
Round 2: Malibu Stacey casts SING ALONG!
Round 3: You lose 14 hit points
Round 3: You lose 14 Mana Points
Round 3: Trolliam says, "As Neal Stephenson once said, 'The difference between stupid and intelligent people -- and this is true whether or not they are well-educated -- is that intelligent people can handle subtlety,'" and beats your opponent with outrageous subtlety for 15 damage.
Round 3: bar takes 15 damage.
Round 3: Malibu Stacey casts ASDON MARTIN: SPRING-LOADED FRONT BUMPER!

No semirare found yet this     run.

Unexpired counters:
Semirare window begin (69)
Semirare     window end (79)
Enamorang Monster (14)
Digitize Monster (7)

So it should really be showing 4 turns still to burn but for some reason it's showing 1.

Addendum:
Something in that broke Digitize monster counting too. Counter is up, I adventured at the Spooky Forest & got this.
Code:
[9] The Spooky Forest
Encounter: spooky vampire AND TESLA!
Round 0:     Malibu Stacey loses initiative!
Round 1: You lose 1 hit point

The other 6 adventures between those pasted were in the Hidden Pantry to unlock the guild.

I'll test it next run. I've changed the order I do things at the start of my run to mitigate that exact scenario above but I noticed it happening last weekend in-run when I used my 2 remaining Time-spinner minutes to adventure way back in time. My last adventure at that point was the Castle Ground Floor & I should have had 4 adventures left there to unlock but after killing the Time-Spinner monsters, Guide was showing 2 left.

I saw from the changelog that Time-Spinner fights should also be similarly fixed so if I run into this anywhere else I'll raise a new issue.

Thanks Darzil.

This looks broken again. I'll get a proper log showing exactly what happens next run.
The short version is, I ran 9 Sausage Goblin fights in a row in The Outskirts of Cobb's Knob at the start of the run (1 regular + 8 Pocket Professor copies) then started autoscend.
It used Numberology to Yellow Ray the War Frat 151st Infantryman which apparently counted towards the turns_spent in The Outskirts of Cobb's Knob as it then decided to grab the encryption key (because turns_spent >= 10) which actually resulted in a combat against Knob Goblin Assistant Chef.

I think the issue lies here

Code:
cast 1 Calculate the Universe

Preference lastEncounter changed from Setup your knock-off retro superhero cape to War Frat 151st Infantryman
