Something along the lines of: "I've got this great plot idea... unfortunately it requires me to kill your characters to get it started. Would you like to play that out or just drop into cinematic mode?" Either that, or save it for a time when I accidentally TPK them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Agree with the sentiment though... Don't like to be hit with a plot like that as a suprise. A number of years ago, had a very bad experience with this where the (relatively inexperienced) GM tried to spring this sort of plot on higher level characters. ~10th IIRC. Unfortunately, he hadn't really considered the abilities of the PCs. Particularly the wizards newly aquired Teleport spell. Resorted to a horrible bout of railroad/cheating to capture them... Players had a partial revolt afterwards. Ah well, it's a learning experience - and after that earbashing, it's not like I'm going to do it again anytime soon.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
