I then gave up on this angle and started thinking of how to invlove the families.How about this for a fusion.The mine scenario includes these additions. The temporary PCs are the parents of miners in the mines when the event happens. The PCs must fight the Big Boss to delay the Big Boss long enough for others to rescue their adult miner children that are stuck in the mines. The Big Boss will win, but the temp PCs will accomplish the rescue of their children and what will be the parents of the PCs.What scenario would allow for a mine rescue that is dependent on delaying the Big Boss from doing something that he is willing to sacrifice the miners to accomplish? In other words, how do I set up the scene where the PCs can witness the selfishness and evil of the Big Boss, while sacrificing themselves to allow their miner offspring to escape a mine disaster? I know nothing of mines, so I am at a loss.Do you think that I could incorporate a combined skill challenge/combat as this initial tone setting TPK encounter?</blockquote>
