Cry for Help Timing Steps

[Vredenburg151]

During what step of the attack does a defender have to declare the use of Cry for Help? 2d or 14b?

Additionally, when is the measurement for an ally within 3 measured, during 2d or 14b?

An example for each:

If Toad is not within 3 of an ally during the targeting step, is damaged, uses Slippery to get into Range 3, can an Ally use Cry for Help?

if Toad is within 3 of an Ally, is damaged, then uses Slippery to move out of Range 3, can the Ally use Cry for Help?

Both of these occur during step 14b.
