I sent my best people to take out the Apprentice Necromancer. And they succeeded!
And they all died. Every one of them. They managed to make it through to the boss's death as a team, but then his skell-twerps gave one a heart attack, killed another. I managed to get them down to one minion while I had two people left at death's door, but then the fucker got two turns in a row and killed them both.
I don't know why I'm so bummed right now. I just can't believe they're all dead. They were my best and they were good enough to win, but not good enough to come home. Something about having succeeded but losing the group just really makes this feel awful versus wiping in X-Com.
