Scenario 3-2A Raid on the Warehouse is a siege deck scenario. It uses the support card Defensive Stance, which reads in part:
When you are dealt damage, if the damage is not reduced to 0, banish the top card of your location deck and each unoccupied location deck; when a location deck has no cards, that location closes automatically.
This raises the question: if a character is dealt damage, causing the last card to be banished from a location, and the location to close, do we activate the location's When Permanently Closed power? Does it matter if the character is at the location which closes?
For example, some of the locations in the scenario are Warehouses:
On closing, summon and acquire a weapon, an armor or an item from the box.
It has been confirmed that this means the character can attempt to acquire the boon (it is not automatic). But when Defensive Stance causes a location to close, does the character who suffered the relevant damage get to attempt to acquire such a boon? Even if they are not at the location? (Note several locations could close at once.)
It seems the When Permanently Closed power would definitely activate:
When Permanently Closed: When a location is permanently closed, the powers listed here go into effect.
The question is, in this situation is the character considered to be the closer of the location?

The closer of the location is the character whose actions resulted in the close. While you weren't _intending_ to close it, it still happened on your watch, so you get a chance to save a boon from the Warehouse.
It seems a little off, at first, but I suspect if it had a When Permanently Closed of "All characters are dealt 1 Fire damage" that there wouldn't be any confusion.
Sometimes, you guys get nice things. :)
