Whether they realized it or not, they had set an expectation that once characters are dropped to zero, enemies leave them alone. Had they been aware of this expectation and wanted to change it for the BBEG fight, that’s totally cool, but the change should have been communicated before initiative was rolled.I’d also give your DM some grace. I take it they are newish to the craft, but it sounds like they figured they had made a mistake and tried to do right by resurrecting you, albeit in a “cheap” manner. Here’s a thought for you: If you don’t like how your characters resurrection played out, speak up and ask the DM if you could come up with a meaningful way the wizard actually survived the fight. I’d lean into the spider theme and ask if you could cast Spider Climb once per day now or something. Take some agency.Also, speak up with the rest of the players and tell them to take some responsibility with their characters own mortality by accessing magic themselves, seeking potions, and making sure they have healers kits ready to go.</blockquote>
