Scenario 6 two sanity for 2 clue tokens question

By MrsGamura, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Special Rules:


Any investigator may sacrifice two sanity for two clue tokens as man times as they want per turn. ...


Would this ability be the same as Duke's or Flesh Ward's?


For example you fail a Horror Check vs. a Dhole and instead of losing the 4 sanity you pay 2 sanity for 2 clue tokens and spend a clue token to try and pass the Horror Check or would you have to anticipate the failure of the Horror check so pay the sanity before the Horror Check?

I would say that you lose the four sanity. The only reason I can give is that it doesn't make sense to me that you make a pause in your recoiling in horror in order to seek forbidden knowledge that can help you cope with said horror. Can't think of anything official to regulate it though.
