[QUOTE="Amazing Triangle, post: 3181955, member: 39939"] I love a TPK even when I play a PC. Usually it means we were not careful enough. As to what to do: I personally would rather roll a new character and be hired to "investigate" the murder. Then find out that what these people were up to, and as a group decide to take over to find who is at the top of the chain. My side notes and reasoning: Personally for me, I hate when the DM handles my PC with kid gloves. Sure the DM is not to cheat to kill you but he should try and kill you in your sleep when you have been harassing the wrong people. This kind of thing happens, this is why my low level characters sleep with two sleeping bags, or use rope trick. Rope trick is an hour per level. Characters have to be ready for anything, or at least a low level assassin. Things like sleeping in the tavern without a guard should never have happened. Don't get caught up in keeping your PC's alive that should be their job. You wouldn't have saved their bacon had they stayed instead of ran in a big fight. Same thing for not having a guard when you sleep, same thought. Didn't think ahead. [/QUOTE]
