Tips and Tricks to make your PCs cry like your girlfriend at a Chick Flick.

A couple of things that you missed in this one -
Murdered almost to death! The NPC is alive, barely, and can either die slowly or take a long hard road to recovery. So the PCs can be reminded of their loss that much longer.

What do you mean they murdered the villain?! Sometimes the PCs can feel a strong connection to one of the bad guys - and when someone else kills him they can get all bent out of shape.

And a variant thereon:

A far, far better thing than I have ever done before - a villain dies performing a cardinal act, a hero's death, perhaps after the PCs have redeemed him.
