* I may not have the minions surrender after the PCs kill one of them with a single hit.
** I may not have further minions surrender as soon as they realize that the PCs are holding a half-dozen minions prisoner
*** I may not do this throughout the entire dungeon, until the PCs have over 100 minions held prisoner
**** Especially if the base they are infiltrating is in the middle of the ocean, and the PCs only have a small boat with them
***** I may not point out that leaving them there is a death sentence, as they are defenseless and they set an explosive device to go off in half an hour to destroy the doomsday machine located in said base.
