With all due respect, this answer surprises me and actually raises more questions for me than it answers.

I've always interpreted "after combat" to mean

1) "immediately after combat, before anything else has been done".

You seem to be interpreting it as

2) "after combat, but before the end of the current turn".

Which of these, if either, is correct? If, for example, somebody plays a curse after the monsters are killed but before treasure is drawn, can Mutilate the Bodies still be played?
