[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5594953, member: 54877"] These particular monsters would definitely take prisoners. Not only is it in their generic nature anyway, but they have, in fact, already taken many prisoners. The PCs are very close to the point where they were going to get the chance to free some. It doesn't even have to seem cheesy, much less be that way, because the players know that a lot of people were captured, and they personally investigated a couple of prior ambushes and determined that prisoners were taken. So that is very much an option. OTOH, I'd probably have to be a bit lenient with the skill challenge to escape, because as written, these guys are not leaving many outs once they take prisoners. And they are sacrificing them on a fairly regular schedule. :lol: I think as long as I used DM fiat to make sure that none of the PCs were selected for the sacrifice, until they had had time to take an extended rest, then it would work. Of course, if I do that, given the conditions of the prison, they aren't going to get all of their surges back ... [/QUOTE]
