Mission 2 Escalation Questions

Hi,

In mission 2, the 2nd escalation says "All minions on the outer 3 map tiles now move an extra space by default. (The Rune Die no longer increases Minion movement and only determines which Map Tile spawns minions). Also, the 3rd and final escalation clarifies that "The Rune Die roll now only is used to determine if the Shop fire flares up!"

Do you roll for shop fire flare during the minion movement phase for the entirety of the mission, or is there a period between the 2nd and 3rd escalation where you don't?

The instructions for the mission (even before the escalation) says "1. All Minions move 1 space toward the School during the Minion Phase. 2. Then, roll the Rune Die, and move all Minions on the Map Tile corresponding to that color 1 additional space! 3. If you roll red, Minions don’t move an additional space. Instead, the fire in the School flares up, and all Mechs inside the School take 1 Damage!'

That applies during the entire mission. The escalations change how many Minions spawn when the Rune Die of that color is rolled (1st escalation), then that all Minions move 2 spaces, not just the rolled color (2nd escalation), then at the 3rd escalation, all directions move 2 spaces and spawn 2 rows of minions. During the 3rd escalation, the Rune Die is rolled purely to see if it's red, which causes the school to flare up.
