[@Natsucooldude] It isn't a punishment,  the purpose of the mission which they'll be told later was supposed to be a major event. This is a chance to bring everything back. Your surviving characters will be escaping live and possibly worse for the ware. While there is an object of failure this will open up and show more of what Anarchy is, deepening the lore in another direction closer to home.

[@PURRfect93] Of course, all who remain will live and the others will likely die, now in this attempted collapse of a tunnel the, Ranger mute and mutant (Ha, irony. Unless the three will be rejoining) will be crushed to death in that scenario. I'll be recasting in the interest check for more bodies but if they aren't gathered it will continue as is.
