Is this typical? I don't understand how I died so quickly (about 13 seconds).

Lerad

That's Shofangi crunch, insta-kill based on chance and, apparently, head wounds. Higher wounds, higher chance.

Not sure of the actual numbers, but according to the log, Jaamil managed two kicks to your head before the crunch.

Vanilla kicks deal around 150 wounds or so, 2 would be 300 (light wounds). One of the kicks he used was a shofangi spec-kick, so I'm not sure if that boosted wounds. If he used soft modifier, it would be another wound boost. Doesn't look like he used power moves, so no wound boost on that front. I'd guess your head was at low medium wounds or so (400-600), since the threshold for heavy is at 1200 or so, and boosting wounds up that high with just soft is pretty much impossible.

Depending on the % chance, it could be that you were very unlucky, or the % is put too high, but did not get red-flagged because of the lack of monks. Unless, of course, you already had wounds before that.

Tarkenton

I'd be curious to know what your head wounds were at, it looks to me like your blackout assume stats forced a sip (which the defaults do), which prevented you applying health to head. Assuming a soft kick, a soft buck, and two soft shofa attacks to the head, you were probably just in heavy wounds. That being the case, it looks to me like rngesus just didn't like you there, since the crunch chance sales with wounds on your head. Assuming you didn't have had wounds to start with, from something else of course.

My advice would be to change your blackout assumed stats, and to see if you can tighten up your contorting to fire when you get the you need to writhe line.

If you can have timestamps next time too, that'd be good too.

Lerad

Addendum: Triggering the buck kick's blackout to writhe may help counter this tactic. As a bard, contort will likely get you out of the grapple before he regains balance.

The balance loss in case he didn't grapple will be worth it in this case, I believe, though coding in a toggle so you can toggle the auto-contort upon getting kicked trigger on and off would be wise for if a Shofangi learns you trigger it that way, and tries to take advantage.

Can't have been any arm attacks to the head - the buck blackout needs to be accompanied by a head grapple, because crunch is a grapple ender. Shofangi grapples don't do wounds, afaik, though I may be wrong, of course. But yeah, triggering the buck kick to apply health to head will also likely be a good way to lower the chance of a crunch succeeding.

Tarkenton

Ooh, right, thought I saw another set of shofa attacks go at the head. My bad.

Though I feel semi competent since I hit some of the same points you did xD

Talan

Thanks @Lerad.

I didn't have any head wounds before this - he was chasing me around the manor earlier and I was sure to stop and check that I was all healed up after losing him.

@Tarkenton I use mudlet. I don't know of a convenient way to log timestamps.

Tarkenton

If you decide to use a custom prompt, you can add it to that. Or if you click one of the buttons on the bottom right, that'll also add timestamps before every line.

Talan

Yes, but they aren't logged, and I've no desire to prepend my prompt.

Ieptix

There was a bug that was artificially inflating the success rate for kata-related rolls, which likely contributed here. This has been fixed.

Lothringen

JimBob? That's cute.

Edit: I was wondering how he got two crunches in quick succession. Back to sucking, crunch! :P

Ah, I haven't used those in a while, so want sure if they'd changed that at all.
