[QUOTE="harliequin, post: 9242441, member: 7044428"] You have your characters work together...sort of how DMs control mob/swarm type monsters. Instead of thinking as your 4 characters as separate individuals, you control them as a team. Bob the dung farmer has a rope and tosses it to Shelly the halfling who weaves around the monsters legs with it, meanwhile the other two taunt the monster, distracting it so it doesn't squish Shelly. Boom boom boom boom. Have 4 d20s and indicate which character is which color before rolling them all at once to determine who is successful and who isn't and then role-playing the result with the assistance of the judge. Then when some of your characters inevitably die as they are meant to in a funnel, your turn becomes a bit less chaotic, but you also lose some advantage to being able to control the entire team and have to actually interact and work together with the other player characters too.
