Vampire A successfully enters combat playing hunting the beast superior to rush vampire B targetting younger uncontrolled vampire C. During combat, both vampire A and B become wounded. Vampire A plays inferior Undead Persistence. Does vampire C get 2 blood? Hunting the Beast +1 stealth action. Auspex Ⓓ Enter combat with a vampire. Superior Auspex As above, and at the end of that combat, if this vampire is ready and the opposing vampire is not, add 2 blood to a Salubri in your uncontrolled region. Undead Persistence Fortitude Only usable when this vampire should go into torpor. Instead, this vampire gets an optional press, will not go to torpor until combat ends but is still considered wounded and can be burned as normal. If three rounds of combat pass with no cards played, combat ends. This vampire is sent into torpor after combat. Superior Fortitude Prevent 2 damage.

Name: Hunting the Beast [NB3:PS4] Cardtype: Action Clan: Salubri Discipline: Auspex +1 stealth action. [aus] Enter combat with a vampire. [AUS] As above, and at the end of that combat, if this vampire is ready and the opposing vampire is not, add 2 blood to a Salubri in your uncontrolled region. Artist: Francisco Tébar If vampire A was woundead and not ready, vampire C will not get the 2 blood, even with vampire B not ready too In the end of combat, even with undead persistance vampire A will be not ready, so no blood to C David Resende - Prince of Teresina

Yes if vampire A is not ready at the end of combat, C will not get the 2 blood. The question stands.

I'd say HB still provides two blood, as it triggers at the end of that combat - when A is wounded, but still ready. A becomes not ready later - after the combat due to UP (This vampire is sent into torpor after combat).

During combat he plays "undead persistence" at inferior to avoid going to torpor. He then sends opposing vampire to torpor, ending combat. Could he benefit from "games of instinct" refill effect before going to torpor himself?
