<p>If a monster locks a yellow die, can I use an item/spell to gain that die once I defeat the monster?</p>

<p>Also, I have not looked through the cards, but if there is a monster that locks the green die, would I gain the green die to use for rolling on the very turn I defeat that monster?</p>

In Elder Sign, If I free a locked die by defeating a monster, can I use it in the same turn?
