I second that motion! don't let the mooks take out the characters. Random
circumstantial rolls and a scuffle with a  few undead railworkers ar bad
character deaths. Mooks, and falling off of balchonies, etc are just
should just be there to soften the posse up for the big shot. Give them a
good death and they'll never forget it. Give them a lousy death and
they'll never let YOU forget it. Trust me.

Then again if they're really ticking you off you can pull the old "a rock
falls from the sky and crushes your skull" routine. Then they're a little
more civil... once they stop pouting.
