Warrens clarification

Question

AT THIS LOCATION:

shouldn't the check happen after you decide if you are evading or encountering? If you evade the monster, such as with Merisiel's power, you don't encounter the monster and therefore the AT THIS LOCATION: shouldn't trigger.

'When you encounter' effects are the very first part of the encounter phase, and occur prior to the evasion step. The rules are actually readable this beta build from the Rules link.

It's weird.

 

As far as I understand, "when you encounter" actually happens before "before you act." "Before you act" doesn't happen if you don't encounter the monster, but "when you encounter" does. Even though you didn't encounter anything. :|

 

Yeeeeeep.

Trust me... it's far more clear than when the game originally released. You don't have to make sense of it, just do what's instructed to do at each step and you're golden. Prior to the current phase order, there was considerable ambiguity in how "when you encounter" was handled. Encountering is the encapsulation of the entire series of phases of the encounter; the 'acting' is just the check itself.
