# LADDER + BRUTALITY WORK LIST · owner J
Generated 02:18 by KIT-BODY from _tools/58k_GORE_AUDIT.md (regenerated on every audit build; the audit is the source of truth).
Every kill below fails the 16:10 LADDER standard (six different pictures; neighbouring levels differ by more than blood and width; every level reads; sampled at K58.finalT(def,{gore:g}) with K58.gore set) and/or the 22:40 HORROR + BRUTALITY BAR (XT = a weapon-specific horrific image with a real dead face, held, readable in 1 s; FAIL = falls over with some blood, a dark/hidden/tiny payoff, or a gag final). SMG (the game-port pilot) is listed first.
Fix pattern that passes (C's sawed-off, J's NO HANG / THE MISS): six different poses or subjects locked through s.ladderEnd; VH its own beat (not XT minus blood); H and M their own closes; L and VL bespoke non-lethal endings (never an empty arena). Every level stays crafted per kill: no shell defaults.

Totals for J: LADDER 6 PASS / 22 WEAK · BRUTALITY 2 PASS / 21 WEAK / 5 FAIL / 0 pending · 1 kills pass both with no face note (not listed) · 27 kills listed · 3 face notes (faceless survival ending / live face at XT, from the KIT-BODY face census).

- **tpdagger.the-cord (THE CORD)**
  - LADDER PASS: passes (six different pictures); keep it.
  - BRUTALITY WEAK: the dead face is now close with blood, but the backstab wound (blade between the ribs, tip out of the front) isn't shown.
  - FACELESS SURVIVAL ENDING at L: the victim ends with face 'none'. Check by eye: face-down on purpose is fine; otherwise give him the dazed58 face (or your own survival face).
- **tpdagger.back-to-the-wall (BACK TO THE WALL)**
  - LADDER WEAK: XT and H are the same body slumped at the wall. Needs: H its own close.
