My wild-*** guess suspicion is that it's the horror mark at fault. But if that's true, then it's another undocumented 'feature'.

Otherwise, it's looking very much like a bug ...

Try repeating the #9 test several more times to see if the success is consistent. Also try a set using just living troops, and another set with just a few undead. You are closing in on the problem, but you need more data points.

Yes, I did also do further test with #9, and after repeating 1-8 (without troops) he hasn't died a single time in the void by the stygian path.

Now I did it with live troops, and no undead troops. I did wish for some militias and got an army of 265 militia under Osiris' command. Now, when repeating #1-8 above, he died every single time in the void, with the usual message 'The journey through the realm of death wwnt unexpectedly well. No one was lost' (observe the wwnt spelling error)
As a finale, I did a Last stygian path with no troops and he arrived unharmed in the capital.
Furthermore, I have not ever seen another message than the 'The journey through the realm of death wwnt unexpectedly well. No one was lost' when casting Stygian path.

In conclusion, don't use Stygian Path, unless you have a very small group of troops, otherwise you will loose your spellcaster. I wonder if it had anything to do with that the commander was left out of the casualty report from the spell that Kristoffer mentioned earlier?
