But yeah, try not to kill them. Teach them the lesson first ("know when to grind those levels, son!"). If that doesn't work, then kill 'em. Kill 'em all. Have their backup PCs come in with said monster unleashed on the world because the previous PCs got too trigger happy. |
Yep. Let the guy waste the guards, let the PCs know they got the guards killed, then let them go do more appropriate things for a few levels. If they persist, then have at them with all the villain can do. Maybe the dice will go wild and let the party win.
