Maybe i'm just missing it in the rulebook, but looking for answers.

My character wants to go through a street with a monster and get to the location with the gate behind it. Given that i have the movement points, can i move to the street, fight the monster, then move to the location behind him that has the gate? Or does my movement stop at combat with the monster?

Second question: I fight a monster and lose, take damage, then have to fight it again on the same turn. The monster has two stamina. Considering that I damaged it one time on the first combat, do i still need to roll two successes to kill it?

[No. Combat ends your movement. Once you begin combat you can't use more movement that turn, the only way to continue your movement once you are in a space with a monster is to successfully evade it without ever entering combat with it, failing your first evade check counts as entering combat].

[Yes. Successes are only cumulative in final combat against the Ancient One. You would need to roll two successes on your next try. They don't carry over between rounds of combat against normal monsters].

Ok, thanks!

(also, i'm screwed)

I kind of disagree with this. Failing you evade check counts as failing your evade check. If you fail an evade check you must enter into combat with the monster. Combat with the monster counts as entering combat--thereby ending all movement.

If you fail your evade check you automatically suffer the effects of failing a combat check against the monster and enter combat (IIRC). I'm not sure if you're interpreting the rules differently or calling me out on sloppy semantics?

P.S. Old Man, please get an older man looking picture. The irony is confusing me.

Failing the check puts you in combat so essentially it's the same thing. If the OP is confused already I see no need to complicate the issue further.

Avi, you are correct. If you fail the evade check, you still take the monster's combat damage as if you failed the combat check. And as soon as you fail the evade check, you enter into combat.
