The training wheels have been off for quite a while now, and the opposition is only going to get tougher. Not just in raw numbers, but also in strategy. The players will eventually need to make a couple of difficult strategic decisions, that may be a matter of life and death.But my players know this. They know their DM is not trying to keep them alive: Quite the opposite. The opponents they face, although balanced in regards to the strength of their party, are trying to kill them. But I am not afraid of a character death. In fact, I think it would create an interesting bit of role playing. What happens to the water priest when he dies? Where does he go? And where would a Druid end up when he dies? Will they meet the god of death, and will he offer them a choice to come back? I can already imagine what a friendly conversation with the god of death would look like. Would he perhaps show them a glimpse of their future, should they choose life?If my players choose to not revive their deceased character, they can start with a new character at the same level as the rest of the party.</blockquote>
