Strike Three Thaka, I've been asking myself, "if I were a PC, and I had to take some hostages, what would I do?" And I'd make damn sure to keep them tied up and knocked out. I'd scream if I didn't get alertness checks that someone had woken up. I'd keep bashing them on the head, on the half hour. &c.

So nope, yer out slugger.  ¶ 9:40 PM
