[QUOTE="Richards, post: 374456, member: 508"] I'm in the midst of trying to recover from my first total party kill as well. [B]SPOILER for "HEADLESS" from DUNGEON #89: S P O I L E R[/B] The PCs got themselves killed one room short of where the deadgate is being constructed, and they'd spent so long getting there that it was just about ready to be activated. After blabbing all about their weaknesses to the "friendly" frost giant jarl, they were ambushed and everyone was slain. (We played it out down to the last negative hit point, and the last one still standing was the sorceress' familiar, a toad, who was cut down after downing a potion of dragon breath and breathing fire--twice!--on a frost giant mohrg. He went down fighting, at least!) Yeah, they were kind of stupid (or at least far too trusting), but we've invested so much time in these characters (1st level to 13th, at half-normal xp rates) that I kind of hate to see them dead for good. So...I think they'll "wake up" on the Abyss, in front of Orcus, with no memories of who they are or how they got there. (In "real life," they were decapitated and their heads are now part of the deadgate that sucks the souls of everyone who dies within a 200-mile radius straight into Orcus' realm.) I'm not sure what they'll do beyond that. Probably get sent on some "missions" for Orcus against devils or celestials, until (hopefully) they somehow regain their memories of their previous lives.
