So I have another question. My wife's character is in the unnameable and has an encounter where she makes a speed check or lose 2 stamina from a falling burning beam (passes) [i'm not sure I remembered all that correctly], whereby she's supposed to go to the merchant streets. The problem is that due to the 4th of July Parade card from the previous mythos phase, the merchant streets are closed. Also, there are two monsters in the sky, so if she goes to the streets, she'll get jumped during the Mythos phase.

What happens? Her hunch is that she stays in the unnameable, but doesn't take suffer any ill effect. I have a secondary guess that she goes to the one of the surrounding streets of her choice.

Thanks!

She must stay there, because investigators aren't allowed to enter or exit the Merchant District streets. However, she does not get bonked with the ceiling beam, as she managed to dodge it. She probably got to the door and realized that it was crowded outside, and didn't wish to get caught up in it. Not like you need to leave the house to avoid one falling object; oh well.

Also, in case you misunderstand, monsters in the sky do not necessarily swoop down on an investigator in a street during the Mythos phase. Flying monsters, like all other monsters, only ever move when their movement symbol comes up. This includes moving to the sky and swooping down from the sky.

Thanks! And you even solved an issue we never knew we had! We had thought that the flying monsters always "move" every turn and their symbol only related to whether of not the monster was sucked through the gate with the corresponding gate symbol.
