I have read the frequently asked questions supplemental rulebook several times and I still don't understand how the challenges phase plays out. Can somebody give a line by line explanation of when certain things happen, including results of deadly, results of vengeful, results of vigilant. Also in the Rulebook it says that you can play a Lannestr pays his debts to kill a character by kneeling one of yours, and then killing the character that you kneeled for military claim but I don't see where that is in the framework window. I guess I don't get the player action window and framework action window page and how the incorporate into the different phases
Challege phase frame work
1. active Player declares challenge type and opponent
2. active player kneels attacking character
3. Passives that trigger off 1-2 trigger (eg "After character is knelt")
4. Responses that triigger off 1-3 trigger (Eg "Response: AFter attached character is knelt")
5. Framework window closes, all moribund (cards leaving play due to anything in 1-4) leave play.
Then there's a player action window, in which you could trigger anything that says "Any Phase" or "Challenges". Each player alternates actions, but each action may trigger it's own passives, responses, and closing of action window (moribund cards leave play) before the next player action is taken.
5. Framework window closes, all moribund (cards leaving play due to anything in 1-4) leave play.

1. active Player chooses Stealth targets
2. Defending player kneels defending characters
3. Passives that trigger off 1-2 trigger (eg "After character is knelt")
4. Responses that triigger off 1-3 trigger (Eg "Response: AFter attached character is knelt")
5. Framework window closes, all moribund (cards leaving play due to anything in 1-4) leave play.
5. Framework window closes, all moribund (cards leaving play due to anything in 1-4) leave play.
Then there's another player action window.
1. Determine winner of challenge
2. challenge result is implemented
3. reward for unopposed challenge is awarded
4. renown is awarded
5. Passives that trigger off 1-2 trigger (eg "After character is knelt"). This includes passives like Deadly, Vigilant, Vengeful.
6. Responses that triigger off 1-3 trigger (Eg "Response: AFter attached character is knelt"). This includes "A Lannister Pays his Debts", where if you lost the challenge and chose a character to die for MIL claim, you could kneel him to pay the cost - since he won't leave play until
7. Framework window closes, all moribund (cards leaving play due to anything in 1-4) leave play.
Note that each of these numbers, each framework action (bold), passive, response all have the same pattern; they initiate (step 1), there's an opportunity to cancel them (step II), then they resolve (Step II). A card like "burning on the sand" cancels the determination of the winner (1), Red Vengeance cancels the challenge result,.
For responses, you also have to resolve passives that just met their trigger from the response or any effect triggered during its save/cancel step before triggering the next response.
