Question about Monster encounters from a newcomer to AH

By farren272, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hi all,

My questions are as follows.

During my movement phase I land on the same space as a monster.

a) do I have to Evade and/or Fight Immediately.

b) if I do fight and perhaps lose, am I then still able to ecounter the monster during my encounter phase?

c) if the answer to b) is yes, do I still go on to encounter the space I have landed on as well (could be a gate, could mean during a card)?

Hope my questions make sense :-/

Cheers

Farren

a) Yes.

b) No, monsters on the board are only encountered during the Movement phase.

Ah, OK. Thank you.

One final question then.

Do I have to encounter a monster if it end up on the same space as me during 'its' movement phase?

Monsters move only during Phase V (Mythos Phase), but investigators have to face them only during Phase II (Movement Phase), so, no, there is no way that you have to deal with any of them when they move. Nonetheless, if at the beginning of Phase II you are in the same area as a monter, you have to deal with it (clearly, you can Evade it and then move away)

Hope this helps!
