Of course, you still need to give them reasonable time to stop you after you played the GUALs too. There are cards they may not have wanted to play before that they will definitely want to play after you level up. I think you probably knew this already, but it might give others the wrong impression if we don't mention it.

Thanks.
The Smoke That Strangles only gives automatic victory over a monster. It does not contain any text that implies it ends the combat, so the combat is not over yet, despite there being no monsters remaining. Thus, the reasonable time period before the combat officially ends must be observed and Wandering Monster or a curse are perfectly valid plays during that time.
