See it really depends upon what you consider 'failure'.  I for one consider the trek into the southern wilds of Mieres a smashing success.  ;D

It seems that there is only one option -- players are incompetent -- afterall, it is a fact and inescapable axiom -- Bjorn IS mean...

It can be argued though, that Bjørn never needs to be mean, since the players only succeed in one thing: failing.

You don't need dice to realise that throwing stones at an ancient magical stone is a bad idea  ;D

Unless you are in Immovable Object then standing in front of Unstoppable Force is a bad idea (TM)

Difficulty is - as always - quite high.

But players help a lot; sending X regents into harms way (be it Ilien or Caelwode) constitutes accepting extreme risk.

And lets be honest; when you look at Ilien, you can only win by treachery or adventure...so it makes sense for Ilien to prepare for that, no? And the DDC was high to begin with.

(I won't even mention Caelwode...)

Well, I wouldn't use the word "incompetent". It is so ugly. Lets rather say "ambitious"  ;)

If somewhat failing in the levelheaded department, no?
