Reducing characters' strength

By tarkin84, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hi,

What would happen in the following situations?

a) Plot phase, The Hound (after a character's strength is lowered return the hound to hand) on table. Players reveal Hear Me Roar (characters without intrigue icon get -1 STR) and Valar Morghulis (when revealed, kill all characters). Where would The Hound go?

b) Marshalling phase, Meereenese Brothel (Response: After a character's strength is lowered by a card effect, kneel to discard an attachment) and Dragonpit (in this case, opponent's characters get -1 strength) on table. Opponent plays a character. Am I allowed to trigger the brothel?

c) Same question when revealing Threat from the north in the plot phase.

d) Same question when playing the Dragonpit during my marshalling phase.

d) Same answer. (Shocking, I know.)

Thank you for the answers!
