Hello,
I've got a question about Arkham Horror Movement rules.
The rules say:
"Pages 6 & 8 -
Evading Monsters
Locations and street areas that contain monster markers may affect an investigator’s movement. Each time an investigator attempts to
leave
a location or street area occupied by one or more monster markers, the investigator must either fight or evade each of the monsters there ...... Likewise, if an investigator
ends
his movement in a location or street area occupied by one or more monsters, he must fight or evade each such monster."
"Page 14 -
Evading Monsters
When an investigator attempts to move out of an area containing a monster, or ends his movement in such an area, he must either fight the monster or evade it."
Reading the rules it seems that an Investigator that doesn't move, during a Movement Phase, will not encounter any monster that is present in its location. It seem that only Investigators that
Leave
or
Enter
a location during their movement must encounter monters in tha location.
But the rules say also:
"Page 18 - MONSTERS GUARDING GATES
During the turn he returns to Arkham from an Other World, an investigator does not have to evade or fight any monsters in the gate’s location.
This rule only applies during the turn he returns to Arkham; in subsequent turns, if the investigator remains in the location, he must evade or fight any monsters there as normal."
Reading this paragraph it seems that any investigator who is stationary in a location has to face the monsters that are in it.
What is the correct interpretation of the rules? A stationary investigator must encounter monsters in his location, or not?
Please let me know what is the correct rule.
Many Thx.
