Gate and Monster appear - but there is a Elder Sign Token????

By The_Mentiad, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

So... Just... nothing happens right? No gate can appear and so no monster can come out of one....

Am I thinking correctly about this?

Yep. Even just "a monster appears" is blocked if you have it in a sealed location.

Kiitos!... Arvelinkin niin...

Hmmmm... not so sure about this. If a monster can appear without a gate (as happens with some encounters), why would this be the case? Elder Signs prevent gates from opening- I can't recall seeing where they prevent monsters from appearing, too. I've never played like that- doesn't seem in the spirit of the game. If the monster appears as a result of the gate, yes.....

"The gate is now
sealed: No further gates can open and no monsters can
appear at the location of the sealed gate for the remainder
of the game." (p. 18)

Amen.
