Well, I can't say I saw that one coming. Props to you, Tree, for sticking with the dice no matter what!
Assuming that choosing to fight lets us get an attack off, we'd deal... 33 STR + 20 (Gungnir) + 5 (LF) + 4 (Fiery Blood) = 62 - 30 (Kate's DEF) = 32 damage? We're 10 damage short, unless we crit (9% chance). That is assuming we hit in the first place (83% chance of hitting; if she has Alert Stance active, it's a 43% chance), that is.
Kate then survives, and moves to finish us off (89% of her hitting us). Assuming we didn't miss, and she missed, we can finish her off on the next attack, but that's another 83%/43%, depending on whether or not this counts as an Alert Stance turn.
>>5857388>A): Accept death.Not to sound like a broken record but... I still don't think this isn't a problem we can solve by swinging our spear. All we can do now is to go death with dignity and hope Kate's desire for vengeance isn't as all-consuming as some other people I could name.
Pic related. Lest we forget what happened to the last person who tried to raise their weapon at the brink of death...
