I have never used them and now it comes to the point where using one will likely be necessary for my game. I want to create a loop where a character fights a Bengal tiger repeatedly until the character dies. When the character dies, the loop breaks and the story continues with his friends complaining that the fight was rigged. I have the event set up like this: {

The thing I do not understand is the "break loop". It makes sense that it would go somewhere in the loop but if it is in the loop, it seems that it would end the loop after the first run. It would not make sense to make loops work that way so there is something I obviously do not understand.
I plan on setting the troop to eat the character after so many turns to force a loss so that it does not endlessly loop. If push comes to shove, I will set up a variable reducing the number of turns required to force loss by one every battle.
It does not let me cut the 'repeat above' so I can place it in "if win" despite the fact that it makes sense that is where it would go.
So how do loops work and how do I set up this particular situation?
