That just seemed so stupid, how could 10 people who could have lived for hundreds of years done something that stupid?

possibility to live a long time does not mean they are smart.

also, seeing as they can live for a long time that means they have much more time to train into better soilders, physically and magically. so maybe they were just overconfident in their abilities, seeing as they're old enough to be skilled, but not lucky enough to actually kill you.
