Lifesaving block... bug?

Chef Garcotto chops Dwarf Priest 1
Strong Chop added 1 damage.
Dwarf Priest 1 took 1 Slashing damage.
Dwarf Priest 1 died.
Karen scored 2 points.
Dwarf Priest 1 discarded Lifesaving Block.
Dwarf Priest 1 discarded Lifesaving Block.

So this is one of the 1HP missions, so all chars are permanently at 1HP. How did I die here?

 

I think it's a current "feature". Lifesaving Block and different damage boosts / bonuses are quite complicated: Lifesaving Block when does it trigger?

 

But the chops has enough damage (>0) to kill the priest, so it should block? Or do I miss a point?

 

Well, strong chop does more than one damage, so the boosts wouldn't matter. It's probably a bug unless you were facing the wrong way.

 

Screenshots would help. Any chance the dwarf was facing away from Garcotto? (Normally I would suspect Mud Pit, but that shouldn't be possible against Garcotto.)

 

Stupid question: were you facing Garcotto?

 

I thought I was facing him, but now you guys are making me doubt myself.

I would try to reproduce, but after finally beating the mission on 1HP, the thought of playing it ever again fills me with dread.
