[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 2429395, member: 1331"] Every crime lord should know the importance of style. It's sometimes best to leave the rabble alive but impressed, so they can tell everyone how dangerous you are and increase your reputation. Killing their friends or or tossing them into the dungeon will only make enemies of them. When the PC attacks, have the rogue laugh at him and attack unarmed. A full attack that way has the potential to do 24d6 subudal damage in sneak attack alone (assuming a bodyguard is there to set up flanking). His plan should be to drop the aggressive one in the first round, thereby convincing any sane opponents that he's too much of a badass to mess with. A bodyguard will then order the PCs to collect their friend and get out before The Boss gets mad. If the party insists on attacking even after it's made clear that they are outclassed, there isn't much more you can do. Some players will be determined to assault a great wyrm with their 1st-level characters; you must choose whether to contrive a deus ex machina, or allow the TPK they're asking for. [/QUOTE]
