Easy Peasy here, guys, I just need to confirm these things.
1)If a monster is on the same location as a gate when you initially go there to go to an other world, do you fight it before going to the other world?
and
2)While fighting some of the Ancient Ones that instead of taking away Sanity or Stamina take away tokens or trophies, do you still have a turn after they take away the last token or trophy or no?
Thanks so much!

Hi Joe,
your first question is "easy peasy" indeed, the second one not that much ::laughter:: so, here we go
1) follow strictly the phases of the game. You deal with monsters during the Movement Phase, while you enter the OW only during the Arkham Encounters Phase. So, you enter the location with the monster during Movement and deal with the monster(s). Then you wait until it's your AE Phase, and enter the gate. This can seem boring or useless, but it is not. In fact, being sucked in only during AE Phase allows your buds to toss you some clue generating items or an Elder Sign (when you return to Arkham without enough clues for sealing) without being forced to enter the OW
2) There was a huge debate on this point during the years. Some people believe you're instantly devoured, some others not. I don't think there is an official position of FFG on this point. It should be clarified in the coming FAQ, but since then, I'd say play the way you prefer. And please remember that the "coming" FAQ might not be coming that soon (it's about what? two years? we're waiting for them)
If read literally, you do not get one turn to survive without trophies.
Make a Sneak check—if you fail, lose one monster trophy.
Any investigator with no monster trophies is devoured.
There is nothing indicating that either losing the trophy or passing the check in the first sentence makes you exempt from reading the second sentence.

Very true. But then, why not writing: "Any investigator with no monster trophies is devoured. AO attacks: Make a Sneak check—if you fail, lose one monster trophy." So we won't be tempted to consider the second sentence depending on the first one?
Dunno. Obviously the designers thought the text was clear enough.
