RevBob: When you talk about the hireling or roll situation, it's two different things.

You may sacrifice a hireling OR you may roll.

Rations Spoiled does not say Sacrifice your steed OR roll. You have to roll, then Sac your steed, but since you can cancel any curse at any time while the curse is still being played, you could use your ring after rolling but before sacking your mount. I don't understand how there's confusion about this. The card is still being worked out, even if it's not a persistent effect, like tiny hands, the card has not yet been resolved. until you actually throw your steed on the discard pile you have the right to defend yourself. If you throw out a monster and someone helps it do you decide that since they helped the monster you can't try to help yourself? Until the monster is resolved, i.e. it's dead or you've tried to run, you can do anything you want to try to beat it. heck you could throw O'Rlyeh to negate the card just drawn or played, depending on how it came into play. there's a bunch of things you could do, but at least go kicking and screaming until the end.
