Yes, that's right. Don't use the combat rules (initiative, round by round, etc) if the purpose isn't to see if the characters can make a miraculous escape.Instead, just narrate it. In the same way you tell the players their heroes reach the next town, or the way you describe a cave room to them, or how they gossip at the local bar and flirt with its maids etc, you simply tell them the story of how their characters got killed.If you want it to be more interactive, still don't bring out the dice (battlemat, minis etc). Instead tell the players their characters will be killed off, tell them the reasons, and now ask the players to describe how their characters died.Why?Well, let's leave that for now, and just soak this in...</blockquote>
