I have a quick question about this card.

If Bitter Crone is in play and a character is killed during a military challenge, can retreat be used to return him to the owner's hand?

I think I'm still having some difficulty with the timing of RESPONSE cards...

Thanks in advance!
Yes it can. This card is not a save/cancel response (step 2), so it is played in a general response window (step 5) when a character has been killed and is moribund, but has not yet left play (step 6). It replaces the "moribund: Dead Pile" destination of the killed character to "moribund: Your Hand".

The character is still killed, so any effect that triggers from a character death can still be triggered, and any attachments, power, or gold tokens on them fall off as well.

Ah ok, that makes sense now. Thanks!

If this is used on a prized character, is prized triggered or not?

Yes. The character has actually been killed and prized triggers on kill or discard. Omek's explanation above covers it - it is not a save or cancel, merely an effect that changes the moribund destination of the card.

Yes. This card doesn't change the fact that the character was killed - only where it goes when it is physically taken off the table. Since it is still killed, Prized still happens. Also, by the time the "Response" can be played, passive effects like Prized will have already resolved.

Thanks, gents.
