How could they not? They are madmen and vagabonds who blather nonsense about "monsters" and "ruins." They claim to be "heroes," yet they have no gut to enlist under the local lord's men at arms, who keep the land safe from brigands and rebels. The local lord gives a death warrant for your party. Soon, a score of men-at-arms surrounds your party. Veterans in full harness, on horseback. Your party fights back. Your party is run down and crushed. The men-at-arms have numbers on their side and years of experience in brutal wars. The men-at-arms kill your party where they stand, then all ride off. What were you thinking? How many years of experience do you have? Surely less than war-hardened veterans. And your numbers? Pathetic. Four or five men cannot stand against the press of twenty while surrounded, let alone cavalrymen in full harness. It is a simple law of battle that you were blind to in your arrogance. Yet another band of vagrants who thought their skills at "slaying monsters" would triumph over the cold realities of battle.

Each is a battle-tested veteran of years of war. What makes your party of "adventurers" so arrogant as to think themselves more capable of defending the fief than even a diminutive fraction of these forces? A "dungeon," you say? The local lord can send a score of these loyal men, a mere drop in the pond, and they will brute force this "dungeon" with ease. Many are trained to battle on foot.

Your character foolishly swings a greatsword, trying to cut through steel plate. The blade simply bounces off. Not a single attempt at half-swording at mordhau. What arrogance, thinking that a sword could cut through plate armor. The man-at-arms knows the right weapon for the job. He brings out a war hammer, flips it around to the spike, and drives it into your character's helmet. The spike fails to go through, for the swing was quick and one-handed, but your character is hopeless rattled and left defenseless. The man-at-arms tackles your stunned character to the ground. He easily jams a stiletto into your character's visor. What did you expect would happen, thinking a blade could go through harness? Have you not the slightest whit of knowledge of Harnischfechten? The war hammer spelled the death of the knight more readily than any firearm.

So it is that out of the many levied peasants your character charges, one strikes true. One spearhead impales your character's throat. Your character collapses with no last words but for a pathetic gurgle from a gushing throat. The law of large numbers is a cruel mistress. What were you thinking? Did you think yourself invincible just for being a "hero"? Such hubris. Battles and wars are fought and won not with individual "heroes," but with generals, logistics, tactics, and masses of men.

Your character perishes instantly. The crossbowman was a peasant. It was his first time to ever pick up a crossbow. The peasant got lucky. The battle around your character continues. Your character will be forgotten, just another arrogant fool who thought themselves invincible against common threats. What made you think that your character was any more "invincible" than the great warriors and kings of history who died from ignoble and lucky shots? When will you lean that none can be a "hero" when anyone can die from a stray blade, arrow, or bolt from a lucky peasant at the wrong time? You underestimate just how fragile the human body is and how easy it is to die in the chaos of battle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_1_of_England Richard the Lionheart was basically a level 20 fighter, but a lucky peasant took him out with a crossbow. Something to think about next time you think your high level character is invincible.
