Monster with Automatic Defeat

HI all :) my question is about monsters with automatic defeat against item /ecc
for example : "fire/flame attacks defeat automatically this monster"

If i'm level 9 , open door , and find one of these monsters ( for example fire/flame ) and i have one item fire/flame :

- i win directly ?
- other players can use "wandering monster" and i fight with this monster ?
- other player can use a curse to eliminate my fire/flame item ? monster is already defeat ?

thanks

Re: Monster with Automatic Defeat

From the FAQ page:

Quote:

Q. Some cards say they automatically defeat a certain type of Monster (like the Potion of Halitosis and the Floating Nose, or the Churninator and Level 1 monsters). Can anyone interfere with this? Can anyone play a Wandering Monster?
A. You may have automatically defeated the monster in question, but your fellow munchkins still have a reasonable time to respond. They probably cannot do anything to help the now-defeated monster, but they can still wander in a new one for you to fight. (But if the monster had special "bring in a friend" rules, such as Undead and Bats, you cannot use those rules, because the original monster is no longer there.)

Going by this, players can use wandering monsters on you.

About the 3rd part with the curse i would say that the monster is alredy defeated by the fire/flame item. i based my answer on this part of the FAQ

This is my just opinion about the situation and is not an official ruling.
Hope this helps =)

If I could hand out gold stars for FAQ interpretation, Elasto's post would get one.

Both of those answers are correct.
