I'm going to laugh so hard if we spend another week or so working our way through a succession of doors, only to emerge out of the other side of the mountain.

The OP has asked a couple of times for the current discussion to stop, and it's still going on.  I don't want another post about it, assuming the thread has somewhere to go (I have no idea, but the OP can re-rerail it as necessary).

Thanks, T. On that note:

The dungeon generator's "deathtrap" setting produces a lot of doors.

We should illustrate this.

So.. Shouldn't we get XP for the Troglodite thing? We defeated the encounter.

[Tawa]

That wasn't an encounter, really.

You just kinda negotiated your way out of a hypothetical one-sided fight.

Maybe like ten? He was in no mood to fight you, anyway.

[Nerjin]

Oh... Wait, then why was he there? I didn't read the spoilered stuff because The Butcher wouldn't know that stuff but... Like... Was it at least explained?

[Tawa]

I rolled randomly for a random encounter off of my generator's monster list and it gave me him. Passive diplomacy checks just kinda negated any potential combat.

[Nerjin]

That... I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter. We defeated the encounter regardless of it not being combat. It was originally designed to be combat. But I guess it's up to you.

[Tawa]

Hmmkay. Regular xp then, though, not the 1.5x PbP-accelerated xp.

A word of caution: Giving reduced exp for encounters solved through non-combat means can have undesirable effects.

"Waits for the right moment to strike"

No. Waits for the ability to do anything other than one action a turn.

[Flying Dice]

Well then.

Potentially including Exalted-style shenanigans where, upon finding ourselves in a nasty social combat situation, we resolve it by turning it into actual combat.

That is quite likely the best series of rolls I have ever seen. 20, confirmed critical, instant death; successful hit, max damage, death.

[Nerjin]

You still haven't awarded the reduced xp for the Trog. Well... You did, but that was 10xp. You stated we'd get more but never stated what it was.

[Tawa]

Yes I did.

In chronological order. In short: You just said 10xp and then said you'd increase it, but never did.
