If so, they get full XP. Were they trying to get info from the Mind Flayer? If that's the case, no XP. Were they trying to get its stuff, and they only got part of its stuff? Then partial XP.As to the Drow, were they sent to assassinate the Drow? If so, no XP.Were they using the Drow to help them get past / around some other hazards? If so, full XP and a bonus.ere they trying to get their stuff, and they only got part of the stuff? Then partial XP.Remember, XP is all about overcoming challenges. The fact that these challenges usually come in the form of killing monsters (and taking their stuff) is just coincidence. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />In my game? They'd get (150 x level) XP + any applicable bonus: creative in character, creative world-building, wrote journal entry, brought the DM scotch, painted some minis, etc.If the world is trying to kill them, and if they're brave and noble it probably is, then just surviving can be quite a challenge to overcome. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> -- N</blockquote>
