Message: <blockquote data-quote="reveal" data-source="post: 1538658" data-attributes="member: 1236">In my current campaign, I want to design a combat in which the entire party is captured. It is a d20 Modern campaign and there are currently in a Holiday Inn. The session will start with an NPC giving them valuable information about people and places. One thing I want to stress is that this is an Urban Arcana type of d20 Modern game, which means that any and all D&D monsters/races can be in the game (even though all the PC's are human). I want a mix of different creatures for this encounter.After she is finished, and there is a lull in the conversation, all hell will break loose. I want it to be pretty dramatic. For example, suddenly there is a huge explosion outside as one of the PC's cars explodes. The door breaks down and.... See where I'm goin'? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The NPC in question is CR 8. The party is comprised of Four 4th level characters.I do NOT want a TPK. I want an encounter tough enough so that all the characters will be captured and the NPC will, of course, be left for dead (I have plans for her... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)Anyway, basically, the PC's need to be captured to lead them into my incorporation of ENPublishing's Deadly Games into the campaign.Like I said before, all the PC's are 4th level. They consist of a Dedicated Hero, a Dedicated/Smart Hero, a Tough Hero and a Charismatic Hero.Edit: Something I forgot to add originally; I know that capturing PC's is tricky. Doing it wrong can cause grief for the player (read: no one likes a captured character). This is why I'm asking for help; so I can get advice on how to do it properly.In the end, it will all work out for the PCs; not that they know that of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
