Marijava Thuggee wishes to damage a minion with a Chanjelin Ward as an
action. Can it, since they don't have the blood to pay for the action? Or
can they lose a life to do it?
Thanks,

It loses a life.
He cannot, since he cannot pay the cost. Allies have no blood, so cannot
pay blood cost (unless card text says otherwise -- like Thuggee's card
text would allow him to pay the blood cost of an Obfuscate card with his
life. The Thuggee could play Blackmail on the Warded vampire, for instance,
and pay 1 life to handle the cost. But his inherent "inflict 1 damage"
ability is not a card that requires Obfuscate, so doesn't qualify for the
life-paid-as-blood feature of playing Obfuscate cards).

Thanks, that's what I thought.
So I was wrong, again :-)
Funny how you keep learning new things even after so many years of play
