City Gate Closing Requirement trigger on a different character

Ezren defeated the Henchman and the game asked me to close the location I tapped over to Seoni (at Scarnetti Manor) and the Bandit popped up asking her to recharge the card. She then needed to encounter the Bandit, but Ezren could also use cards and transfered all bonuses to her. Seoni got the +3 STR that Ezren used, was able to cast a spell, Ezren was able to cast a spell and display the Evangleist for a +1 to Seoni's check.
