Problem is, some fraction of the time a particularly tough and lucky band of peasant manages to survive, become experienced, become stronger than anything you could actually throw them at. High level adventurers level armies, kill gods. Doesn't matter how unlikely it is, if you throw enough peasants at a dungeon eventually someone will roll 50 consecutive twenties and become a deicidal monster. And then they'll start looking for problems to solve that are larger than some goblins in a pit, such as hey, an oppressive monarchy!

The solution to that little issue... is to put your biggest monsters at the start of your dungeon. Let's see that peasant survive a 26d6 (save for half) blast of draconic fire!

The peasant is a half-ogre barbarian, takes 13 damage, her buddy kills the dragon with a sneak attack crit, then they all discover the ability to heal by drinking dragon blood and go on to clear the rest of the dungeon.

For some reason ”i have a proposition for you” is a recurring sentence in my brain. I have no idea why. Why does my brain produce sentences that have nothing to do with anything I’m doing?

You just gotta hope the person in charge of the dungeon knows what they're doing. *shrug*

I think that's your demon trying to get you to form a pact.

If this is the case it has to be more specific about said pact. Maybe it’ll show up in a dream to explain it better, like how a video can convey more information about a topic than dialog alone

Edit:
If the demon sent this dream, it didn’t help make things clearer, this randomness, I feel comes from my own brain, no demon required, either that or the demon was purposefully being random

I had a dream last night, I was using an Xbox 360 controller to play something like Splix.io with civilizations. Eventually I got into the water and changed my land vehicle to a sailboat, then to a submarine. The submarine was a 3D first person controls. I was shooting boats from below with missiles, then for some reason I had to go to land. When I reached land, the submarine shrunk to where I could “ride” it while walking and holding the Xbox controller. I went into a building and tried to fire missiles but couldn’t, so U tried to find the ocean. There was a stairway which I glided down, jumping from stairs to lower stairs. I asked someone where the ocean was, but they took me to some restaurant instead. When I got to the restaurant and they gave me a small sheet of paper that asked my name, what I ordered, how good it was, and how much it was, all before I ordered anything. I was holding the paper when I woke up to find no paper

Random thought: The past bending of "glide" should be "glode" or "glid"

Spoilers. It is three Lich running the whole show and the adventurers lose their souls.
Good game, let's play some Catan.

When is a colony of cells considered a multicellular organism?
When is a colony of a multicellular organisms of the same species considered a multibodied unit?
Colonies of ants are selected at colony level, with queens and drones analogous to gamete cells and workers and soldiers analogous to somatic cells

Yes!
I was thinking, rather than the problematic peasants themselves, players could play as members of a secretive organisation dedicated to dealing with those occasional doomed adventurers who manage to somehow overcome the dangers intended to kill them, such as what Reelya described.
Of course, these fledgling heroes would be flippin' powerful (be it through good luck or good management), but using your every bit of cunning, a large bag of dirty tricks and the element of surprise, your job is to put a stop to them before they can become a major problem for the government - whilst keeping it all as hush-hush as possible, of course!
