Did I make a bad DM decision?

I think you were a bit too unforgiving. I mean, the web spell shouldn't be too much of a problem to get out of. I also think that all things considered, that was a small mistake.

By this I mean that it can be corrected quite easily, as others have already suggested. We're not dealing with a court of law here, but a bunch friends who ought to be having fun.

Thanks for all the feedback. There are reams of issues that I didn't consider (I *said* I was jetlagged at the time - I'd just completed a flight home from the other side of the world the previous day. Just gotta DM though )

I've pretty much decided that the guy wasn't dead - he will be captured by the opponents but there is a ready-made way for him to escape (which none of the others could manage, but is practical for that character).

Ideally I would have ruled differently, or at least given him a magecraft check to get info on his options. I'll just do what seems right on this occasion.

Regards,

Good solution.

I'll see you in the RBC, PlaneSailing...
