Everything is a contest or a battle. Inanimate objects are stated up and rolled. One example in the book is a river, which rolls against the players. Those who beat the river cross without a problem, those who fail may have been battered by the current, swept downstream, etc.
If I want to translate a book, that's a contest. It's me vs. the book, we'll roll to see who wins. Losing doesn't even have to reflect failing to get past the obstacle all together, so perhaps I translate it but I mentally exhaust myself doing so.
