Again no one said combat was totally off the table, but there are creatures that are just more powerful than the PC's... creatures they cannot best at their current level in a straight up combat... and a significant, though I can't claim a majority of DM's play D&D in a way where you can absolutely encounter a creature like this and you Should be smart enough to run.  Is this being a dick?</blockquote>
