Mystery resolved: I'm an idiot
My guy did make it to the battle, I was just dense to notice it at first. The horror feared everyone away -- including my thug. This was partially due to luck (in general I won during the replays), but also because fear +10 is pretty nasty (+10 squares and checks are at 12).
Horrors in general are pretty effective. The only counter I can find is to to just retake the territory with my armies of Marignon raiders, which works actually works quite well, but if I didn't have that defensive force I think I would be in trouble -- especially since Abysia has a lot of money to sink into a good PD backed by Fata Morgana.
If I could go back in time I would only used 1 PD so less of my dudes would have died, which would have given time for my thug to take care of the menace.
