Howdy, folks!

Howdy, folks! I’m a brand, spankin’ new Keeper and I had a couple of questions from things that came up from my game last night. One of them is a call that I’m 95% sure I made right, but I want to check myself. The other is a ??? to me that might be in the rules somewhere, but I’m missing it.

— First Question —

I described one of my monster’s attacks as going after our Expert and then asked our Monstrous (who had been jumping to do a next something) the opportunity to act. He described using his freaky weird powers to shut down the attack. I ruled that to be a use of Protect Someone. He clearly wanted it to be a Use Magic roll, but I felt the fiction he was describing was clearly to protect the Expert.

I’m 95% sure I made the right call, but as a newb, I want to make doubly sure.

— Question B —

Partially due to protecting the Expert and partially due to three 6- rolls, the Monstrous ended up taking about 5-harm in that fight. The Monstrous sheet has no mention of taking armor in your usual options – but they asked after the fact if they could just pick up a battered, leather jacket providing 1-armor.

The Monstrous has no reason not to have some money laying around for that kind of thing, so this seems like a straightforward case of “just buy it” from page 114, but I wanted to check myself before I wreck myself.
