What's the consensus on moving to a gate with a monster on it during the encounter phase? Do you still have to encounter the monster, or do you just go straight through the gate?
Consensus on moving to an open gate with monsters on it during Encounter phase?
Okay, got it. I THOUGHT this had come up before!
Monsters and movement as a result of an encounter (01/02/07)
When moved to another location by an encounter, you don't have to fight/evade monsters in either location. At least, not immediately. Combat as a result of such movement only occurs during the movement phase. During the encounter phase, you only have to worry about monsters popping up to attack you as a result of an encounter.

It's come up a bunch.
Kevin has personally answered this question at least twice.
However the question is also answered in the opposite way three times in the questions at the back of the last three rule books (which is probably what the majority of players will know about), including the most reason answer in Innsmouth, page 12.
I guess for the final answer we'll need to wait for the all encompassing FAQ that has been promised.
