Previously, they had charged and attacked everything they saw, so the DM decided to divert their attention away from the undead place by sending some minor enemies at them from another direction. He was then going to have the enemies try to pull away and draw they PCs with them. He said the PCs had followed this pattern for every encounter of the adventure up to that point, even though he had not tried to "guide" them in any way before this time.The PCs instead decided to escape the coming enemies by going into the undead area. A TPK ensued. Afterward, the Players were mad at him for "forcing" them into the TPK area with the rear attack.Just kind of goes to show, that sometimes TPKs are controlled by Fate.Quasqueton</blockquote>
