If you defeat all monsters in your space , do you get a normal encounter that turn?

I can't find any info on that but I may be missing it.

Yes. According to the rules, if you defeat all monsters in your space, you may resolve a normal encounter.

It's on page 9 of the rulebook in paragraph 5 in bold letters .

Interesting, I read that you HAVE to have an encounter after defeating monsters on your space, but there it is right in the rules. It's a game-changer.

indeed. this is a bit of a saving grace from the devs, and i can only recall one or two instances i decided not to have an encounter, one being very recent when Mark Harrigan went Apes&%t with a lightning gun, but was reduced to 1 sanity and 2 health. it's kind of a built in mechanic to save you from damages from encounters after you just beat 3 monsters just to die falling on some ice or soemthing.
