Floating Nose bribe

[coldsun]

Player A of level 1 faces Floating Nose. He has no items to bribe this Monster.
He asks for help of Player B of level 6 and bonuses 4. So their total strength become 11. They say that they have advantage of +1.
Player C is Theif. He puts off a card to shrink power of Player A and Player B to 9.
May Player B use his (or her) item to bribe Floating Nose?

Thank You for answer.
