Hi guys. Thanks for the good advices.
I think I'll go with the old "roll a lot of saves".

This time the party knew about the mummies.
They are cursed and any undead they slay will come back to (un)life within a week. So after killing them the first time the party wanted to teleport right back to the same room. Nobody listened to the fighter who said this is a bad idea.

A few botched saves later and the only two survivors where trying to escape the dungeon without a teleport. The fighter even had to ditch his full plate and backpack due to a lucky encounter with a shadow.

Escaping the dungeon they got seperated and had to make a long journey through the kingdom before making it home to the castle.

Due to a disease the thief got in the swamp on his way home he had to be nursed back to health at a small roadside chapel. Missing out on the kingdom roll.

The kingdom has yet to recover from the loss of their ruler and a few of the other rulers.

This time they are back with a cleric and an oracle loaded to the brim whit protection from fear and restoration. And a fighter searching for his armor :)

Hi.

Last week my players came upon six mummies guarding the final resting place of a vampire lord they've had some problems with.

So combat begins and I say:
Roll six will saves.

One for each of the mummies they encountered.

The DC is only 16, but with six saves only one of them manages to make all the saves.

So the fight went badly and in the aftermath the kingdom had lost it's ruler and a few leaders. Since the teleport spell died with the caster, only one of the survivors made it home in time to rule the kingdom.

Now the kingdom has a new ruler and yet again they will try to take out the vampire lord and stop his undead army.

So my question is this:
With multiple monsters of the same type, do the PC's:
1. Make a will save for each of the mummies (Dc 16 for each)
2. Make one willsave only (at DC 16)
3. Make only one will save with a +2 to DC for every extra mummy? (DC 26)

Or is there another way to handle this?
As a houserule I'm thinking of giving each PC a choice between 1 & 3 before they make the saves (Unless there is a rule to handle this)
