In my current game, Silas has the Painter skill. If a rift track marker denotes the Artist Colony and he goes there, then uses his skill instead of the usual encounter, does this still remove the rift marker?
Not having access to anything, I am fairly certain you need to have an actual encounter.
I have to disagree with you on this one. The skill says "instead of having an encounter...", which is the same text used by the Hospital, Asylum, etc. for their special abilities. Those are counted as encounters, so I would be inclined to count using the Painter skill as an encounter as well.
As mentioned above, that is exactly the point. You need to have an "encounter" to remove the rift. But using the skill is "in place of" an encounter, so therefore not an encounter, therefore not triggering the rift removal.
