I have a quick rules question for the Gurus here on the forums...

When you return from an Other World to the appropriate gate, you get an explored marker and a "1 Turn" automatic evade on all monsters at that location.

A friend and I were having a discussion about what "1 turn" really means...

I had an encounter while in the second area of another world and i was send back to Arkham: During the Other world Encounter PHASE of the TURN

My question is this:

Is the "1 turn" essentially the current turn, and my investigator would have to Fight/Evade monsters on that gate before getting a chance to close it because a new turn would have started (i.e. upkeep happened, first layer passed, etc.) between returning to arkham and the encounter phase?

I played that the "1 turn" essentially lasts till the next "Upkeep" so i had to fight/evade the monsters... well attempt to fight... I won't go into that

is there any consensus on this?

Yes, that is how it's played. A new turn will have started, so your free monster tickets will have expired without a chance to use them.
