questions about Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers

I have some questions around Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers. Say my prey has no ready untapped minions. I use the Codex to bleed at -2 stealth for 1 blood (currently getting +3 bleed from Codex’s card text). My prey plays a wake and deflection with a vampire, sending the bleed for 4 to my grandprey (who has one or more ready untapped minions). I’m guessing the bleed now becomes a bleed for 1 at -2 stealth? Say my prey has one ready untapped minion. I use the Codex again to bleed, this time at -2 stealth and for 1 bleed. My prey blocks (their minion taps). I play form of mist at superior to end combat and continue the action. I’m guess it now becomes a bleed for 4 at -1 stealth? i.e. the Codex checks the minions of the target methuselah at both action announce and action resolution? card text: Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers Cost: 1 pool (waived in the storyline) Unique equipment. This minion gets -2 stealth when bleeding. This minion may bleed as a (D) action that costs 1 blood; this action gets +3 bleed if the target Methuselah doesn’t control a ready untapped minion.

I guess it "constantly" checks (matters for Archon Investigation, for instance). [ quoted text not captured ]

Faceless Night Type: Action Modifier Requires: Obfuscate [obf] +1 stealth. [OBF] +1 stealth, and any minion who attempts to block this action and fails becomes tapped when the action is resolved (before resolving the action). -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email)
