Well, the specific premise of the game was 'low level aspiring adventurers flail about incompetently and fail a lot'

Then Tegan one shotted a dragon in the very 2nd fight

When Tegan hasn't been available we have successfully been annihilated by a pack of mutant beavers and a squad of goblins, so we have succeeded at incompetence twice

Also been foiled by the gate guards once and some land mines once with Regan, but haven't lost any fights

Not a party failure, but equally effective at 'low level incompetence', is Florina and Monkie fought a pair of crocoroach swarms, with Monkie flame jetting one but burning all her FP, and then Florina spending about 20 rounds retreating and stepping in circles as crocoroaches chased her with no one able to land a real blow (seriously, that scene was like 3 Stooges worthy)

Definitely a low combat game overall though
