[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1157350, member: 224"] There have been 9 encounters so far, so you've seen much of goblin behavior. Let's break it down: ********************** Encounter #1: "Bump into goblin patrol" Result: ran away after only a few losses. Kept fleeing, then returning, then fleeing. Encounter #2: "Run into Goblin camp" Result: ran away after a few losses, left PCs with most of goblin treasure. Encounter #3: "PCs surprise Goblin Patrol" Result: ran away after substantial losses and death of one of the leaders. Encounter #4: "Goblin rogues ambush PCs" Result: Ran away after a few rounds, even when the battle could have swung in their favor (mage, cleric, druid all down, fighters scattered) Encounter #5: "PCs surprise goblin watch post" Result: goblin watchers don't signal main base, shoot a few arrows, then try to flee. Encounter #6: "Goblin out gathering firewood" Results: goblins slaughtered Encounter #7: "PC break through the gate house of Alderslook" Results: most goblins caught napping or playing dice, even with generally un-quiet PCs sneaking up on them. Only those goblins out of reach of PCs (in tower) didn't flee. Encounter #8:"PCs commando raid on the tower" Result: Although in a very strong position, goblins fail to capitalize on it. Flee at first sign of real danger. Encounter #9: "Adventure threashing maching" Result: Goblins surrender, but only when pressed. Goblins in side passages not really "pressed", until that &^^%#&^ Web spell plus fire. ********************* Dunno. Doesn't seem very Lawful to me. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
