It allows for the possibility of redemption after a suicide run.Capture and corruption... that possibility has always intrigued me as a DM. What if the BBEG can turn one of the captured PCs?...At some point, the BBEG becomes less Big & Bad if you allow for too much survival. Like Cobra Commander in G.I Joe, and COBRA in general... how can you take them seriously if they lose all the time?It has to cost your PCs something to get out, if they can get out... but they seem to want to recover their friend, and this should be something that they should be allowed to do.What if the captured PC turns and helps the BBEG (the plausible deniability that allows the other PC's to escape with their ego intact)? What if the party loses, and the captured PC somehow sacrifices himself to save the party from doom? This PC sounds like the cause of this confrontation... seems like he should fit into the ending of it as well.</blockquote>
