Two Quickies

By Skowza, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Two questions from recent games, wanted to make sure we ruled correctly...

1. Fortified Position is revealed, during Challenges LoW Catelyn is put into play as a defender... though her text box is blank, she still returns to hand at the end of the phase since that is part of the card effect that put her into play, right?

2. Grand Melee is revealed, during Challenges a GJ player attacks with one character, opponent defends with two characters, GJ player uses a Scouting Vessel on one of the defenders... the GJ player still loses the challenge since STR is determined by the number of participating characters even if those characters have 0 STR, right?

Thanks!
