[QUOTE="travathian, post: 4563980, member: 12105"] That's a pretty wicked ambush for a group that level, but they survived. They had the chance to escape from a clearly superior foe. They chose not to. Instead they engaged a clearly superior foe, on its home turf, who also had 24 hours to rest. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Have the Ogre Magi capture all of them and knock them out. Players wake up in shackles aboard a slave ship wearing nothing but their loin cloths. PCs live, get punished for their stupidity, and your next adventure can deal with how are they going to escape the slave traders and some day in the long distant future (and many levels higher), hunt down that ogre magi and kick its arse. Do NOT let the players just escape from the Ogre Magi, and especially don't let them take down a clearly superior foe. They already had an out that they didn't take, give them an incentive to take it next time they come up against nearly impossible odds. Its not running away, its making a strategic withdrawal from an unfavorable situation. [/QUOTE]
