why do we expect the trolley to kill anyone? some of those guys can be bitten by dragons and survive, they'll surely stop the trolley or be able to rip out of the rope on tipe

or the rogue can just undo the knots really fast

Instant Death

Massive damage can kill you instantly. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points and there is damage remaining, you die if the remaining damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum.

Per Ghosts of Saltmarsh, a ship roughly trolley size (though ~¼ its weight) does 25d10 bludgeoning when crashing, (considering a trolley approaching a track switch tends toward 10-15mph, ramming rules seemed excessive).

The party restrained on the tracks may or may not be immobilized (v. simply restrained), but regardless, 25d10 may very well one-shot each and every one of them, and instantly.

how much health do they have around the level where they'd have access to a staff of the magi?
