1. whaaaa. You hate us icky nasty dm. I rolling up a new pc.Reread the OP. If one is looking for solutions for what happens when the bad guys win...then there are any number of fairly obvious possibilities that do not involve character death:
1. * Enemies strip the PCs of their valuables, then leave them for dead.
2. * Capture one or more PCs and hold them for ransom. Might accept exchange payment in gold or service from the other PCs.
3.* Enslave the PC and/or sell it to someone else. Can take any number of forms...giant keeps one of the PCs in a cage for entertainment when bored. Evil mage keeps the PC around to experiment on with magic or poisons. The PC's next mission probably becomes how to escape...
4.* Torture the PCs and leave them for dead. Maybe involves levels of permanent madness, scars, or disability. Which might later be addressed with magic or prosthetics for a suitable cost or quest.
5.* Eat the PC's leg(s), then leave the rest behind. May be addressed with magic/prosthetics.
6.* Drags the PCs back to its lair for later consumption....escape mission.
7* Something bizarre. The evil hag steals the victim's voice or physical beauty and then lets them go.
