@Bullwinkle, I did try every combination I could think of in terms of VRT and all results were the same.
@MrBishop, That is what's interesting, as far as I know, I played the scenario like any normal way you play one and when it came down to the last possible turn, last possible dice roll, the game acted like it didn't count and simply would not proceed.
In the end, this happened twice in a row but I believe I had about five more blessings I could have played but still had to forfeit and start over. Since then, I have completed all scenarios on legendary and now easily farm "A Fighters Tale: Valeros Retribution" on Legendary for a good sum for each run.
