Missing ladders on maps?

Hi everyone.

I just finished reading the manuals and I'm gonna play M.o.M. this saturday with my friends. I've noticed something strange, in stories 2 and 3 maps there is just one Ladder marker (in the Chapel for "the inner sanctum" and in the Cave 2 for "Blood ties"). Reading the manual it says that the ladders are used to move investigators and humanoid monsters between spaces containing ladder markers as if they were adjacent.

My question is: if there is a ladder in the Chapel, where is the other one? Which room is connected to the chapel through the ladder? And the same question obviously is for the ladder in the Cave 2 in story number 3. Probably I misunderstood the rules, if someone can tell me where I'm wrong I'll be very thankful.

The cards in play will inform you where and when to place the other ladder token. Until then, the investigators are unable to use the one on the maps.

(At least, this was true in scenario 2; I'd trust it to be the case with scenario 3 also)

Yeah, thanks a lot! I didn't thought about that, good to know. Thank you!
