Optionally death in this scenario could be run Paranoia style with a whole mess of spare bodies waiting in the wings, due to the Yith fleeing the time period and the theoretical presence of feral cones uninhabited by Yith. Also, playing with the time travel angle they might end up being in multiple places at once; the next battle occurs concurrently with the one they just fought but in a different place; a possible eventual twist could be that there are actually significantly fewer warriors then there appear to be. And of course the whole thing is futile; the Yith are just using them to cover their escape and/or the Yith are fighting the war despite knowing that they lose due to philosophical or technobabble* related reasons[spoiler]*EDIT: Suggested philosophical technobabble: Tine can't be changed. But the upshot of this is that if you're willing to try anyway you usually won;t have to. Anything bad happening to you would cause a paradox and therefore can't happen. The exception is when absolutely everything goes wrong, including the remediation effort that would otherwise make misfortune paradoxical. But you still have to attempt it knowing it will fail in order to get the effect elsewhere, because a willingness to attempt remediation is how the the other misfortunes are made paradoxical[/spoiler]</blockquote>
