questions about Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers
Dasein
Say my prey has no ready untapped minions. I use the Codex to bleed at
-2 stealth for 1 blood (currently getting +3 bleed from Codex’s card
text). My prey plays a wake and deflection with a vampire, sending the
bleed for 4 to my grandprey (who has one or more ready untapped
minions). I’m guessing the bleed now becomes a bleed for 1 at -2
stealth?
Say my prey has one ready untapped minion. I use the Codex again to
bleed, this time at -2 stealth and for 1 bleed. My prey blocks (their
minion taps). I play form of mist at superior to end combat and
continue the action. I’m guess it now becomes a bleed for 4 at -1
stealth? i.e. the Codex checks the minions of the target methuselah at
both action announce and action resolution?
card text:
Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers
Cost: 1 pool (waived in the storyline)
Unique equipment. This minion gets -2 stealth when bleeding. This
minion may bleed as a (D) action that costs 1 blood; this action gets
+3 bleed if the target Methuselah doesn’t control a ready untapped
minion.

Yes. See

for similar effect. (Foreshadowing Destruction bleed deflected).

I guess it "constantly" checks (matters for Archon Investigation, for
instance).

if i tap the last minion of the methuselah i am bleeding with a faceless

Faceless Night
Type: Action Modifier
Requires: Obfuscate
[obf] +1 stealth.
[OBF] +1 stealth, and any minion who attempts to block this action and
fails becomes tapped when the action is resolved (before resolving the
action).
