Ghoul retainer+ Crimson Sentinel/nightstick

Ghoul retainer
Ghoul with 2 life. 1 strength.
During the initial strike resolution each round, the Ghoul Retainer inflicts 1 damage or may use a weapon not used by the employing minion (or another retainer) that round (either before or after). This is not a strike, although it does count as "using" the weapon

Rullings:
The Ghoul is never the "bearer" of the weapon that it uses. Any side-effect of using the weapon is applied to the employing minion, as normal

Crimson Sentinel
Unique melee weapon.
Strength+1 damage as a strike. If this weapon successfully inflicts damage on an opponent in combat, add a soul counter to it at the end of that round. This weapon does one additional point of damage each strike for each soul counter on this card. Remove all soul counters from this card if another minion gains control of it.

Nightstick
Melee weapon.
Strike: strength+1 damage. Or strike: prevent 3 damage to this striking minion from the opposing minion's next hand or melee weapon strike this round (including any currently-resolving hand or melee weapon strike). Only usable once each round.

If the ghoul retainer "strikes" with the crimson sentinel does it get new counters? Does it inflict extra damage based on the counters?

If the ghoul retainer use the nightstick to prevent damage, since it's never the bearer of the weapon, it prevent the damage on the vampire?

No, it prevents the damage on the user not the bearer. groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/nL-xqiydvYg/m/hWQZF3aBdwsJ
