[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1957115, member: 22103"] Just for the record, I hated RttToEE. I would have begged for a TPK. LOL. Anyway, sounds like it's the classic kick-in-the-door-style players meet the villains-actually-think-for-themselves DM. Now that the deed is done, perhaps you just discuss with your players what happened and why it happened. Otherwise, you can't expect anything different to happen if you keep playing, especially if they have had near-TPK's in the past. On a side note, does anyone have any misgivings about "allowing" a 1st-level party to be TPK'ed? I have a hard time letting that happen. It's just to easy to do. Heck, a couple of kobolds can get lucky and lay waste to a freshly rolled-up party. I have no problems with fudging some rolls or invoking the hand of god to not TPK a 1st-level group. Unless it's a very experienced group doing something extremely stupid (that should know better), I can't ever see myself TPK'ing a 1st-level group. It's just not fun. That's why I usually start my groups at 2nd level. :] [/QUOTE]
