[QUOTE="Nevvur, post: 7262483, member: 6783882"] Totally. Something similar happened in one of my games, though it was a peasant militia rather than zombies. The players decided to enter a hostile fortress while the main division of soldiers were deployed elsewhere. However, a large group of new recruits were performing calisthenics in the practice yard. A patroller stumbled upon the party and raised an alarm. The tank decided to charge at the recruits to keep them occupied while the rest of the party dealt with the interior. The recruits were having trouble hitting him (+3 ATK vs 20 AC) the first couple rounds, so they ended up surrounding him, then using the help action on each other to grapple and push him to the ground. The party had wanted to avoid inflicting too many casualties. It was primarily an intelligence gathering mission for one, but I also made a point of describing these recruits as appearing rather young. However, when the commander joined the fray and started pummeling the tank on the ground, the tank called out for help. The sorcerer responded by fire balling the whole lot of 'em. It got the tank out of the grapple with plenty of HP to spare, but it also vaulted the party from enemies of the state to the nation's most wanted criminals, and I think they honestly felt bad about how it all went down.
