And I certainly do not wish to insult you. But the scenario provided still seems to me a small lapse in judgment that ended up costing the life of a character.  Even if this situation were unavoidable, I think the DM reaction was appropriate. You take on a grand quest to get something in the middle of enemy territory, bad things are bound to happen.</blockquote>
