I'm wondering this as well. Sent an email a week ago with name, address and all, but I've heard nothing back.

[Clue Tokens and Movement-Inducing Encounters]

ColtsFan: That's not what I meant. I was mostly referring to the overuse of the word "clearly" (sometimes in all caps...) which, to me, implied that the answer to the question was so obvious that I shouldn't have had to ask it in the first place. It also seemed like some of you were arguing, but maybe I'm just not used to the personalities here enough to distinguish between an argument and a "heated debate." Ah, the perils of Internet forums...

Anyway, I've got about all I can from this thread without something official, so I'll just wait and see.

[Clue Tokens and Movement-Inducing Encounters]

Well, this got a lot more hostile than I expected, but thanks to those actually trying to help.

But since the can of dholes is open, I'd like to say that dealing with monsters occurs (or at least starts) during movement. It's my understanding that combat is what ends your movement, not the other way around, whereas picking up clues happens after movement (and combat) ends. A minor distinction, but considering the use of the phrase "end-of-movement actions," I felt it should be said.

At any rate, I think I'll just put it to a vote with my group: either deal with monsters AND pick up clue tokens (in that order, as normal) or neither. Either way, you go through any gates there since that happens in phase 3 anyway.

I'll keep an eye out for any official ruling, though.

[Clue Tokens and Movement-Inducing Encounters]

I imagine this has been asked and answered long ago, but I did my best to search for it and came up empty: If an encounter tells/allows you to move to another location, can you take the clue tokens at the new location immediately, or does this only happen at the end of the movement phase (and if clues appear in your location via the mythos phase)?

For reference, here is the "Picking Up Clues" section as described under the movement phase (italics as written in the manual):

"Any time an ivestigator ends his movement in a location that contains Clue tokens, he may immediately take any or all of those Clue tokens. The investigator may not take any Clue tokens if he merely moves through the location and then continues his movement: He must end his movement in the location containing the Clue tokens."

I guess the confusing issue is that is says "ends his movement" rather than "ends movement phase." I mean, it is still a kind of movement and you do end said movement in the location... Then again, this is detailed uner Phase II: Movement, so I could see it either way.

And apologies if this has come up a dozen or more times already or is printed in an abvious place, my search-fu is weak.
