## Rules questions

### Do I always roll Noise when I move into a room for the first time?

You flip the exploration token when you move into an unexplored room, and you then perform the Noise roll as part of the Movement/Exploration procedure unless a rule exception applies; see Movement & Exploration and Noise rules (pp.16–18).

### If a room is occupied by another character or an intruder, do I still flip the exploration token or roll Noise to enter?

You still resolve entering/unexplored-room effects (flip the exploration token) but you do NOT perform the Noise roll when entering a room that is occupied (see pp.16–17).

### If an Intruder attack shows 'Larva' or infestation, does a Larva get placed on me immediately and what happens?

When an attack causes a Larva/infest result you place the Larva (and resolve any infestation/contamination effects) as described in Intruder attack resolution and Larva infest rules; this can also trigger contamination/scanning consequences (see pp.22–23).

### If I escape in the Rover/Bunker/CSS, do I automatically win or do I still need to fulfill my Objective?

Escaping the facility does not automatically grant victory — at game end you still check win conditions including your Objective, contamination status and any Contingency effects during the final victory check (see pp.10–12).

### What happens when power is lost in a Section — how do Darkness and Night Stalker work?

Sections below the power threshold become affected by Darkness and Night Stalker rules, which change visibility and intruder behavior until power is restored; restore Section Power to remove those effects (see p.24).

### How do combat dice results and the Advantage die work during shooting or melee?

Combat resolution follows the Encounter & Combat steps and the combat die faces determine hits, misses and special symbols, while the Advantage die provides modifiers/extra effects as specified in the combat resolution rules (see pp.20–21).
