Destroy Village and Destroy Town - potential issue?

[Wynand]

Folks,

I am wondering about the destroy town/village spells and their impact on emmisaries. According the desription, they are supposed to be "consumed in the flames" 50% of the time.

I have only two data points, but in both situations there were multiple AN consuls in the PC in question...and in both circumstances, they all escaped.

In 115, Mauler had 4 consuls in a PC in region 9; the SO destroyed this PC and all four escaped.

This past turn, something similar happened in another game (still in progress). 3 for 3 escaped.

There is a 0.0078125 chance of this happening...highly unsual at the very least.

I am wondering
(a) Does the consul ability to avoid capture apply to the Destroy PC spells?
(b) Have I interpreted the description of this spell incorrectly?
© Does the math above make sense given my understanding?

Thoughts and/or comments please.

Consuls have fireproof underpants.

I believer they refer to it as a "flame retardant codpiece."

Math looks good to me if held only to consuls. The WA did kill 50% of the non-consuls if that makes you feel better.

The only other game I have cast this spell in produced far less than 50% death rate as well. That did not involve consuls.

Hawk...I feel nothing but sadness for your non-consul nobles.

I was the SO in said game. I am very interested in the results of this conversation.
