Shield of Fire Resistance doesn't block (all) Fire damage

[da_mayor]

I'm running Android 5.1.1 on a Nexus 10.

 

(No Pass-and-Play, no Permadeath, Story mode, Kyra and Merisiel were at the Goblin Fortress, but I forget where Lem was, Turn order was Lem;Kyra;Merisiel, Approach to Thistletop, Normal difficulty, encountered Gogmurt, not a first explore, don't recall previous card, other characters aided but I don't remember how, no Horde.)

 

Playing Approach to Thistletop on Normal Difficulty, I was facing Gogmurt.

 

Before I acted, he dealt me 1d4-1 Fire Damage.  I bounced it off my Shield of Fire Resistance.

 

I proceeded the first combat and won.

 

I proceeded the second combat and lost by 3.

 

Since all damage dealt by Gogmurt is Fire Damage, I figured I'd bounce 2 points off of my Shield of Fire Resistance.  Since this was a different "step" from the Before You Act "step", I figured that should be no problem.

 

When I selected the Shield, the top right corner had a padlock on it, and I wasn't given the option to Recharge...

 

Enjoy!

Any chance you used a 2-Handed weapon for the second combat check?

Awesome question!  Kyra's been known to lay about with a Bastard Sword... She probably discarded it for the Big Finish.
