Discard Pile Rules

[ryannuss03]

My friends and I began playing Munchkin last night, and we ran into one argument late in our second game regarding the way cards go into the discard pile after combat.

Example: Player 1 kicks open a door and fights a monster. Players 3 and 4 use various cards to buff the monster to try and prevent Player 1 from defeating the monster. Player 1 ultimately succeeds and the monster is destroyed. My question is this, what order do the cards go into the discard pile? Does the monster go into the discard pile last as it is the last thing to "resolve" or do the buffing cards go in last because they are the last cards to be played? Why this matters is because if Player 2, who is up next, is a cleric on level 9, he can resurrect the monster and fight it to win the game if the monster is on top of the pile. If the monster is buried under the buffing cards, then there is a strong chance a monster will not be drawn when kicking down the door. Thanks for your help.
