[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 3316319, member: 3987"] Yes but all the villain* does in the encounter is order his men to attack and then run off while they die, he hasn't really been encountered. So they shouldn't get the CR for defeating him. If he blows most of his clerical spells buffing the minions, but doesn't really get dirty in the fight, before he decides to leave then they should probably get some XP but perhaps not the full CR. If he departs after buffing his minions, flame striking and only goes because he's been knocked down to 10 hps, then yes they should get the full XP. On the later encounter If it's days later and he's got all his spells back and is healed to full when they defeat/kill him then they should get the full XP. Later that afternoon and he hasn't got the buff spells back but is otherwise fine and still has a few tricks up his sleeve, then they should probably get the remainder of the award they didn't get earlier. If its moments later when he's still on 8hp and has no spells, then it should probably be treated as part of the same encounter and so no CR XP but maybe a little ad hoc XP for being swift enough to chase them down. *Using Evil Cleric for this example.
