TPK isn't fun unless it is magnificently heroic.They have learnt that if plans go wrong you won't be forgiving and the risk of character death is real. Suddenly, the game isn't funny any more, and they weren't expecting that. That's the nub of the problem - they weren't expecting "no more Mr. Nice Guy". Partly they are annoyed with themselves for failing, and partly they are annoyed with you for not warning them strongly enough that it might happen.Perhaps, as they were peering through the keyhole, a door could have slammed in the distance behind them. Then another door, a bit closer this time. This would have given them fair warning that there was activity behind them and they shouldn't ignore it.But what's done is done. Let them roll up some new characters and go in to find out what happened to their previous selves.</blockquote>
