Reached Greed lair core, no funds to detonate bomb. :'(

[crazydan05]

So I've been playing Kindgom Two Crowns in the "Dead Lands" setting and finally made it to the greed lair on Island 4. Didn't have too many funds on me since I have to keep feeding my coins to my knights just so they could endure the beating that the Greed was giving them. Finally fought'm off, destroyed the final "big" cave portal and brought the bomb into said portal.

Once in, we cut a path through all Greed and finally made it to the "core" of their lair. Only to find out that I only have 3 out of the required 5 coins to detonate said bomb. Not knowing what to do, I tried to see if I could get my knights beat up to sneak some coins out of them but alas the team was too strong to take damage and when they DID the knights instantly picked up whatever stray coins fell out of them.

Not knowing what to do, I decided to see if I could leave the Greed lair and fetch some coins and return. Wasn't sure if this was something you could abort but when I left the lair I got an instant "auto-loss". Watched my crown fly off but, unlike the usual scenario where I can just run over and pick it up, my character was frozen and was unable to move.

Lesson: Bring some damn money into the Greed lair. Full pouch just to be save. Very surprised I had no means of finishing the job but it was my fault for not coming prepared.

This is the strange part:

Everything else you described is the usual game behavior, but this part is very odd. When exactly you got the loss? Was it when you crossed the cliff portal back to the earthly world? Or was it when you simply took some distance from the core of the cave (the hive)? Haven't you saw the screen going full white at that moment, AS IF the bomb had been detonated? I really can't understand this piece.

The expected behavior is that yes, you can abort the assault, and get out of the cave without lighting the fuse. But when you do it, that bomb is lost, along with the assault troops. You cannot go back inside without a new bomb + bomb squad, because this is your "passport" into cave.
