Crowe timing questions

[Alexx Kay]

Crowe can do a couple of things "When you defeat a monster". Timing is not always clear to me.

Situation 1:
Crowe fights a monster that has "After you act, this monster does X damage to you." Crowe recharges some armor to absorb the damage. Does his ability to move the bottom card of his deck to the top happen before or after "after you act" (which is when that armor got recharged)?

Situation 2:
Crowe defeats a typical henchman, and decides to use his "When you defeat" ability to move to a new location. Does this move happen before or after the attempt to close the original location? If the answer is "before", does he still *get* the attempt if he moves first?

1. After you act happens before the monster is considered defeated.
2. You attempt to close first. The henchman states you may immediately attempt to close -- if you do anything else before that you lose out the chance to attempt. After attempting to close you can do any other When you defeat abilities.

In addition to what skizzerz said, there's a specific rule (in one of the FAQs I believe) that states "you can NEVER attempt to close a location you're not at"

Correct. You may find that FAQ here. Note that it only applies to attempting to close a location. If it would automatically close the location (e.g. defeating villains or the armies in WotR AD2), that still happens even if you aren't at that location.
