Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeff Wilder" data-source="post: 4670706" data-attributes="member: 5122">Actually, that's not what I said.FWIW, the PCs have an artificer in the group, and I place very few limits on buying magic, so at least 90 percent of their gear is chosen by them.  And, again because of the artificer, they're over suggested wealth-by-level.Reasonably often, and especially when clearly outclassed.  They also will attempt escape if they have the chance, unless there's a compelling reason not to do so.And yes ... in general, the PCs accept and honor surrender.Actually, they could potentially have escaped, if they had immediately run.  As I said, they didn't immediately run ... they immediately chose to stand and fight.I'd like to think my players are more mature than this.  I'm trying to get a discussion started with them via email, and if it turns out that this was a motivation ... well, it either needs to change, or they'll need to leave.  I simply refuse to play a game in which actions don't have consequences, and sometimes those consequences will involve unpleasant things happening to the PCs.Anyway, please keep the comments coming.  I'm finding everyone's thoughts extremely interesting.</blockquote>
