Death of the Balrog

[genghissean]

Last night Gandalf battled the Balrog in the historic mines of moria after The Fellowship declared in Lorien. Both lost. The way I read the rules, 1. pick up cards 2.declare fellowhip 3. roll dice Thus this is the only instance where the SP loses his dice the same turn. This would make sense because the Balrog was actually killed last turn (when the fellowship moved). Correct?

[Krieghund]

No. The Action dice pools are adjusted at the beginning of the turn, so the die will remain through the current turn.
