[LSJ]Games of instinct + undead persistence

[gabusanvtes]

A vampire enters combat with another using "games of instinct". During
combat he plays "undead persistence" at inferior to avoid going to
torpor. He then sends opposing vampire to torpor, ending combat. Could
he benefit from "games of instinct" refill effect before going to
torpor himself? It seems both effects are programmed to the end of
combat:

Games of instinct:
"At the end of that combat, if only one combatant is ready, that ready
vampire gains blood equal to the opposing vampire's capacity from the
blood bank."

Undead persistence:
"this vampire will not go into torpor until combat ends"

Mmm. Probably, the acting Metuselah can order the effects as they wish.
Since both are "when combat ends" and not, say, "after combat".

Kindred burnt in combat goes to the ash heap or is removed from the game.

The persistent vampire is ready when combat ends, so can collect the
payoff.
