[QUOTE="Vegepygmy, post: 5316858, member: 40109"] No, it shouldn't have. The party decided to [i]assassinate[/i] the guy. They carefully planned their attack, and timed it when the guy was [i]asleep[/i]. They sneaked up on him, silently, invisibly, and intangibly. They deliberately chose a "save or die" spell. [i]Nothing[/i] in this scenario points toward a "big battle," or suggests that the players wanted one. "Be careful what you wish for" and all that. If he doesn't take enjoyment from carefully planning and successfully executing an operation like they did, he should avoid doing it. But don't blame the "save or die" spell. The spell didn't make your players choose it. I can't speak for your players, but if you were my DM and you did that, you wouldn't be my DM for long. Then don't worry about one sub-par incident. Just keep doing what you're doing and things will take care of themselves. You can't have a campaign that's all peaks and no valleys. [/QUOTE]
