Theft of Vitae question

[Michael Kelly]

If a minion is subjected to a Theft of Vitae and a
point of damage from a Zip Gun, which is applied first.
If the minion only has one blood left does he go to
topor and get 1 blood stolen or does he take a point
of damage and get no blood stolen? I suspect the later
is true.

[JFolmar]

The damage from the Zip Gun is applied first because it states on the
card that the damage is inflicted "when used". Since the gun is used
during the strike resolution phase, that is when the damage is applied.

All of the damage of strike resolution is applied at the same
time as the effects of strikes like steal blood are applied - but
the blood to heal damage isn't burned until all of these effects
have resolved.

So, after applying strikes (strike resolution step 1), the Zip Gun
bearer has lost one blood (to Theft), and has one point of damage to
deal with (from using the Zip Gun). The opponent has one extra
blood (from theft) and one point of damage to deal with.

Then, Zipper goes to torpor since he no longer has enough blood to
burn to heal damage. His opponent burns one blood (possibly the blood
that he just stole) to heal the damage applied to him.
