Ever seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? Do you remember the opening scene, where Indie gets poisoned by unscrupulous business men? When the action kicks off, Indie is informed that he's been poisoned, and struggles to stay alive and recover the antidote.

Well, I've been thinking about that, and I recently slipped the entire party a mickey (Goodnight Tincture) to set them up for a spectacular battle.

Now normally, that one player would have a really long time in the spotlight while everyone else gets bored. That's not really fun for everyone though. What do you do for the players with knocked out characters?
