Well, he said that we were not supposed to be able to win the first scenario, which we are technically still part of. I do kind of agree with dragon on the whole not landing hits thing, but on a realistic side, it is pretty hard to hit a compitent swordsman on a one v one.

I think the whole intention was for us to flee the situation. As he stated before, we have no chance against the main force. I doubt this is an isolatrd scenario, as much as a national crisis we are involved in. The only way for us to further the story line is to reach the next area.
