Default Wandering Monster being used when Running Away or after Wizard's Charm

Hi,

Please help us with the following two points of discussion (Munchkin, 23rd reprint):

1. Can the Wandering Monster card be used after the player in combat has declared that he/she wishes to start Running Away from the existing monster in the room, or once Running Away starts combat is considered to be over? What about if he/she has already rolled the Running Away dice from that existing monster?

2. Can the Wandering Monster card be used after the player in combat has Charmed (the class was Wizard) the existing Monster, or does that count as the combat being over? Considering the below answer, I'd say that Wandering Monster can be played, but a confirmation would be great to have since Charm is not a passive option, but an active one and requires discarding the entire hand.

In the event that a player is beating a monster in levels/bonuses, then the other players can play a Wandering Monster and the player is now fighting both monsters.

However, the other players cannot allow you to defeat the first monster normally (with levels and bonuses), then wander in a new monster. At that point, the combat is over.
Thank you very much in advance!

Once you've started to run away, the combat is over, there is no place to add additional monsters.

Unless they say so, cards or abilities that simply remove one monster from combat don't prevent you from adding another wandering monster. Generally a card that removes all monsters from combat will prevent you from doing so however (out to lunch, etc.)

Thanks, so that is to say we can't use Wandering Monster after the player has decided to run, but we can use it after Charm, correct?

This one has come up quite a bit, so we put it in the FAQ a few years back. It's actually mentioned twice, in Important Clarification #3, and with this question:

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.)

Thank you Erik, although I've read the FAQ last week this rule had slipped my mind. Much appreciated!
