r/KingdomDeath

So, we fought the Lion Knight lvl 2 last evening. We already had a survivor with the hideous disguise from the lvl 1 showdown. And she was supposed to do the last hit and be the sacrificial lamb for intermission again. This worked out pretty well, even great since she drew the Death Blow HL for the last hit and succeeded in wounding. So, yay we get a special little scene and the Ageless Apprentice SFA.

So far so good, but even with the description of a special scene, afterwards intermission triggers. Great so we got really lucky and we met all the conditions necessary for Ageless Apprentice and then we can roll straight away if she dies. Did we miss something or is this just very unsatisfying. And there is no way around it since you have to kill on the death blow and if you do so intermission targets this exact survivor.

Thanks to her live time reroll, her head stayed where it belongs and she got a second hideous disguise. Which I assume just vanishes since you can’t have duplicate gear in your gear grid. Or is there an exception for cursed gear?

It just feels not really thought and a bit frustrating.

We also used the props that come with the lvl 2 showdown, which seem like a cool idea at first. But together with the role cards meant that me and a friend did next to nothing the whole evening (except from Ai-scouting and encouraging). Which is fine for me (if we are too many I “play” the monster and do setups etc.), but it felt bad to have someone else relegated to doing “nothing”.
