My opponent plays the living weapon [Lashwrithe][1]. Afterwards he spends 4 life the equip it to his [Vault Skirge][2]. While doing this, I kill his Vault Skirge with a [Red Sun's Zenith][3].

What I think will happen:

 - He loses 4 life
 - His germ token under the living weapon dies
 - His Vault Skirge dies
 - His Lashwrite lies around as equipment ready for the next try
 - I smile

Is this correct? Does equipping use the stack to enable such a maneuver? And does the germ token really die if equipping goes ill or does the equipping never take place because it has no valid target and the germ lives happily ever after?
