Their ambush gets disrupted and they don't take that round to run like heck, while on a single horse. They were not thinking things through and they paid the price.I had players do something similarly rash on Sunday. They were 4th level, hadn't had much time to heal everyone, and after knocking the weak vampire down to mist, they then pursued him to get to his coffin. They headed right to an area they hadn't explored yet. It looked like there might be parallel ways to go to head him off so one of the PCs split off and got herself into a lot of trouble with a pair of shocker lizards. Her rash actions led to her own death and the death of the party's druid, who eventually followed to try to back her up.And the saddest thing about the druid's death was it was quite avoidable. She was at -8 and the sorcerer was right with her and now out of the range of the lizards. The sorcerer, who was at 0, elected to drink her own and only potion of cure light wounds. She could have fed it to the druid and, even though she would then have been the one dying, she could have lasted a lot longer. The paladin with the curing wand was only a couple move actions away.I felt a little bad about the two deaths, but they managed to get together enough money for a couple raise deads (they had the option of reincarnate which is a LOT cheaper but risky as far as what you come back as) and it really was through lack of sensibility that they died so I absolve myself of too much blame. You should do so as well.</blockquote>
