[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9010476, member: 29398"] That's not the DM's problem. "Dangerous" also means what it says on the tin. This is an odd one, in that they were on a sub-mission they didn't really know about (they had in their possession an item that certain people wanted to see arrive at a certain place, and the PCs were likely to go there) and as far as I know thought they were simply on their way from one place to another between adventures. Yes, and with apologies I can't give any deeper detail on that as I don't have it. All I have to go on is a very brief game log and memory of the stories I've been told (many times). Pretty much - they didn't even get in the front door, the demons met them on the steps. I'm not sure if the PCs attacked the demons (though knowing some of the players, it wouldn't be any surprise if they did), but I do know the PCs tried and failed to sneak around them. In hindsight, all of this is probably valid. At the time, with someone still relatively new to DMing, I'd still stand behind what actually happened even without knowing all the details. Indeed, but they weren't wiped out: there were three survivors. [/QUOTE]
