[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 6900202, member: 6855259"] I think this should be a fitting end to the adventurer's careers. Time to roll up a new 1st level party. The first show of mercy was ok, but no intelligent being is going to allow a double cross like that and no genius-level being is going to be fooled by giving him part of his own lair. You could I suppose make them slaves, toiling away in Xazax mine or somewhere like that and then give them a chance to escape down the road. No getting treasure and magic items back though, there has to be a penalty. I would make it a quick and clean escape, maybe a cave in opens a tunnel to the surface. But then make them scrounge to survive until they can earn some money somehow. The super tough Maul wielding plate clad fighter fumbling through the woods naked with an improvised tree branch club. A wizard with no book, just the spells he had prepared. A rogue with no rouge weapons and no theives tools, Make them adventure their way back to civilization in such conditions. Then when they do finally meet up with their faction just give them basic equipment (maybe what 1st level characters have) or if they don't have a faction make them earn or steal it. [/QUOTE]
