Listen at the Door

I understand that part but why would you kick down the door after the looking for trouble phase. That is where I am confused.

Pardon my ignorance on this, but what monster are you talking about when you say " that monster " ? The one you received when you listened?

Tell me if this is right:
1. Listen at door - Take a card from the door pile and put it in your hand or play it only if it is legal to do so and playing a monster would not be legal at this time.
2. Kick down the door and then the continue your turn.

That's correct. Since my response was referring back to Signboy's question, "that Monster" referred to the Monster found when his friend listened at the door.

You wouldn't. Let's go over the phases again and the chain of events so there's no more confusion. The phases are:

1. Listen At The Door
2. Kick Open The Door
3. Look For Trouble
4. Loot The Room
5. Charity

At Listen At The Door, the player finds a Monster he could beat, but he must put it into his hand since he is drawing this card face-down and there is nothing he could legally do with it at this time. At Kick Open The Door, he doesn't find a Monster, so now, he can either Look For Trouble against the Monster he found during Listen At The Door, or he can Loot The Room and take a single face-down Treasure.

Now, if the player found a Monster when he flipped over his card for Kick Open The Door, he doesn't get to Look For Trouble or Loot The Room. Therefore, he can not fight the Monster he found a Listen At The Door unless he wanders it in to the combat with the Monster from Kick Open The Door.

Thank you, I believe it all makes sense now. =)
