Did I close the location correctly?

So I laid out the Brigandoom scenario last night, and rolled a few die :)

Sajan was at the Waterfront when he expolred/revealed the henchman, a bandit if I recall correctly.

According to the rules, if Sajan can defeat a henchman at the location, he can attempt to close the location. Using a Blessing of the Gods, his DEX dice instead of his STR dice, and with the assistance of the Amulet of Mighty Fists or some such, he crushed the Bandit henchman, who had a combat check of 8.

This success allows Sajan, and ONLY Sajan to attempt to close the location by summoning, yes, another Bandit as per the Waterfronts "When Closing" part of the card which states "Summon and DEFEAT a Bandit henchman". The key word here is DEFEAT, so evading the Bandit will not close the location [Thanks to the FAQ clarifying this].

So, I dived into the box and dug out a Bandit.

Using a second Blessing of the Gods, Sajan was able to defeat the summoned Bandit, who once again had a combat check of 8.

Location closed.

Is this correct, or could I have just closed the location after defeating only the revealed/explored Bandit henchman?

Thanks :)

You played it correct. The first bandit gave you the opportunity to attempt to close. The second bandit was the closing requirement. If the explored Bandit in the location deck had been a different henchman, you probably wouldn't even be asking the question.

Thanks.

Yes, it was just co-incidental that they happened to be the same, so I had this niggling irritating little doubt in my mind that I wanted to murder/death/kill.
