Scenario: A munchkin explores a new room and enters combat with a potted plant. The munchkin has the Snickersnee and another munchkin plays a wandering monster and draws the Scary Clowns.

Question: At what point are the Scary Clowns "automatically defeated"? Do they add their combat bonuses to the fight along with the extra dice roll and get defeated automatically at the end regardless of the outcome of the fight (ie. does the combat proceed with the monsters swinging an 8 with 2 dice)? Or are they defeated the moment they enter combat leaving just the potted plant to be dealt with on its own? If they are defeated the moment they join does the munchkin gain a level instantly or does s/he wait until the end of the combat to gain that level?

My confusion comes from the wording on the Snickersnee that says it "automatically defeats" not "instantly kills". Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!
