This was the second adventure and we were all new to this edition at the time. I had the orcs “revive” the defeated characters (I just ruled slain characters were actually just knocked out) and they dumped the PCs down a crater, which was the entrance to a goblin/kobold lair. The orcs were at war with the goblins and kobolds and figured (rightly so) that the PCs would fight the goblins and kobolds kill a bunch of them. This ended up being the lead in to Sunless Citadel.[/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial][COLOR=white] [/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=white][FONT=Arial]D&D 3.5 - Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil – First TPK against hobgoblins. I had each character roll a d6 and if they got a 6 they were dead, otherwise the hobgoblins revived them for prisoners/ransom/slaves. Two characters died and created new characters and then rescued the other players, and game resumed. Second TPK fighting water elemental and other water themed creatures. This ended that campaign entirely.[/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial][COLOR=white] [/COLOR][/FONT] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][COLOR=white]Many years ago I used to DM high level campaigns and we had tons of TPKs.
