Intimidate vs Morgul Brute

[MuadDib85]

If I choose to take the wound when Morgul Brute is played, can I use Intimidate to prevent that wound from being placed?

I tried to do this in a game and was told that it wasn't allowed, I didn't argue because I'm not sure. But can't really see why it wouldn't be... What rule stops this?

This is one of those similar to Armor and Boromir, Bearer of Council. Since you can't take the two wounds,  you have to add the three burdens.

Intimidate can prevent that wound, but you'd then have to add a burden ("If something happens to prevent one effect which in turn would have prevented a second effect, the second effect is performed"). The rulebook uses a situation with Morgul Destroyer and Sapling of the White Tree as an example.
