You can only use Sting after strengths have been compared and wounds/overwhelming has occurred.
In short, if Frodo dies during the skirmish, you can’t use Sting’s text.

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

| His original question was whether you could use Sting BOTEL to effectively cancel a fierce skirmish involving Frodo and a Porter Troll. |

Sting activates when a skirmish is about to end. not after it ends. so it still takes effect before overwhelming and wounding and so forth.
AC is correct on this matter im afraid. |

No, that’s wrong. Bibfortuna is right. A skirmish isn’t about to end until the skirmish has been resolved, and wounds have been placed. |

The answer I gave is correct. It doesn’t matter what AC says; the rules are the rules, and they must be followed.
Sting can only be used after all wounds/overwhelming have occurred. |

| bibfortuna25 is correct. "About to end" is something to better depict that the action IS, after all, a Response, so it does not "use up" your skirmish action, NOR does it cancel a skirmish. About to end takes place just before ending, so that means AFTER resolving skirmishactions, placing wounds/burdens AND checking for possible overwhelms. It DOES, however, discard the minion (provided that your Ring-Bearer survives) for a possible double-move. |

Leave me out of this! 
I look in a thread I’ve never posted in and find people arguing about whether I’m correct or not.
I’ve never given a ruling about this - I myself don’t have the card, and thus have never used it. When I play against somone who uses it, they’ve always discarded the minion before taking wounds, but I guess I can correct that error now. |
