I asked them, "What do you want to do? We can spend the rest of the session making new PCs or you'll be captured and see if you can manage to escape?" (FWIW, the players made some really BAD choices, so personally I was fine with a TPK...) They discussed it and chose capture, so we played it out and they managed to escape, defeat the baddies, and ultimately win the day. Unfortunately, two PCs died prior to capture during the battle, but those players handled some NPCs (also prisoners) and later on turned them into their new PCs.So, yeah, death can be handled in lots of ways, but if you don't have it, why bother playing IMO...</blockquote>
