Theft of Vitae question

If a minion is subjected to a Theft of Vitae and a point of damage from a Zip Gun, which is applied first. If the minion only has one blood left does he go to topor and get 1 blood stolen or does he take a point of damage and get no blood stolen? I suspect the later is true.

[ quoted text not captured ] The damage from the Zip Gun is applied first because it states on the card that the damage is inflicted "when used". Since the gun is used during the strike resolution phase, that is when the damage is applied. Chance XCDC...@aol.com

So, after applying strikes (strike resolution step 1), the Zip Gun bearer has lost one blood (to Theft), and has one point of damage to deal with (from using the Zip Gun). The opponent has one extra blood (from theft) and one point of damage to deal with. Then, Zipper goes to torpor since he no longer has enough blood to burn to heal damage. His opponent burns one blood (possibly the blood that he just stole) to heal the damage applied to him. -- L.
