Duo event for a personal plot, scripted ending. For the first half - a dangerous aerial battle where my character is learning as he goes, because he's rarely flown before let alone done combat tricks from the back of a chocobo while several hundred fulms in the air... aaaaand we inexplicably don't get a single roll below about 700. Most of them are above the 800 threshold we consider a crit success. It's weird but we go with it.
Second half of the fight - we land and it's supposed to be a 1-on-1 duel to the death between my character and the enemy. This is his comfort zone, this is something he's been trained to do since he was a baby...
...not a single damn roll above 300, with 200 being a crit fail.
His ~teacher had to step in and help him to stop him from, um, dying.
We had to actually ditch rolls to ensure the scripted ending happened as it was supposed to. >_> My character almost died from his injuries afterwards and spent 4 weeks IRL time in recovery afterwards. At least it was suitably dramatic!
