[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5456025, member: 42582"] It can happen. Especially because it is not the players choosing their own demise - they are choosing their PCs' demise. So players take risks with their PCs that they wouldn't take with themselves. And in fact, in this thread, we're talking about only 1 PC's demise. I haven't had players paint their PCs into a "must sacrifice a PC" corner. But I have had them paint their PCs into a "no way we're all getting out of here alive" corner, which can be a pretty similar corner. On one occasion when this happened, most of the party got out by agreeing to let the enemies use one PC as a human sacrifice, before then signing up to the enemies' religion and war plans. When this happened, the player of the sacrificed PC was quite happy to bring in a new PC. Had he not been, then I'm sure the players would have had their PCs try and fight their way out instead, but I don't think their chances would have been very good. Which they knew. Which is why they took the option of turning and sacrificing one of their own. [/QUOTE]
