Ransoming captives, taking slaves, letting the PCs live just to prove a point (I could have killed you, bu I chose not to... at this time) are all classics of the villian. Of course, animals and mindless monsters probably won't go into such fine details, but that's all part of playing the enemy. In a recent game, due to a lot of dice rolls going against the PCs, there was a TPK against a group of kobolds. Nobody died right off, but they were reduced to 0 hp or below. Later, they woke up in the kobold's 'larder'. After all, fresh meat is better than long dead, right? After healing up, they wound up having to take on the Iron Chef Kobold and his assistants, then sneaking out of the kobold lair unequipped. So there can be penalties to losing a fight that don't involve a six foot hole or a Ressurection spell.</p></blockquote><p></p>
