Wooden Stake + Cleave

I make a deck of pile of junk cards that have never been played. I'm trying to make thematical and funny (at least for someone), but still playable and viable deck for casual play. In this regard, I wonder if the following situation is correct:

An Imbued equipped with Wooden Stake got into a fight with a locked vampire.
1. No maneuver;
2. Imbued is acting and strikes for 1 with Wooden Stake.
3. Vampire strikes for 1 with hands.
4. Before strikes resolve Imbued plays Cleave to boost Wooden Stake with +1 dmg. (Is this possible at this time?)
5. No dmg prevent.
6. Wooden Stake is transferred to the vampire and he goes to torpor. At the end of the action Cleave burns Wooden Stake but the vampire still doesn't unlock as normal during the unlock phase as long as he remains in torpor. (Is this correct?)


Cards:

Warning: Spoiler!

Name: Cleave
Cardtype: Combat
Virtue: Vengeance
Choose a melee weapon this imbued has or spend 1 conviction [1 CONVICTION] to put this card on this imbued to represent a melee weapon that does strength damage each strike. This melee weapon inflicts +1 additional damage this action. If the opposing minion is (or becomes) immune to non-aggravated damage, he or she loses that immunity for handling damage from this weapon. Burn the melee weapon at the end of the action.

Name: Wooden Stake
Cardtype: Equipment
Melee weapon.
Strike: strength damage. If more than 1 damage is inflicted on an opposing vampire by this weapon in a given combat, that vampire is sent to torpor. In that case, this card is transferred to that vampire, and he or she doesn't unlock as normal during the unlock phase as long as he or she remains in torpor.
