The “skip 3, encounter 4th” is what I intended, but if you want to play it as stopping to play on an earlier card I think that is fine too (if it makes sense. If you took teleported or took a different route, you don’t see those cards - but if you are just travelling quickly then you could opt to stop.)
tbh whichever you think is more fun is fine, I know I wrote the rules but I’m not gonna rules-lawyer if someone wants to play a different way :)
