[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7307237, member: 6803337"] IME, the battle disintegrates too fast (from Team Monster's view) to remember to use 'morale rules', but ... IF (a) all the 'boss' or 'leader' type monsters are down, and (b) the total number of Team Monster members is less than half the original THEN the survivors will run away or give up (as appropriate to the overall situation). Those who run away will hide in a corner somewhere; they will not alert the rest of the base to the PCs' presence. To avoid nasty entanglements and/or arguments, I tell my PCs 'you can tie these guys up in knots so well that they won't get out before you leave the area.' Once in a while I remember to describe "as you head back out of The Dungeon, you pass the field where you fought that orc squad. The bodies are still lying where they fell, and the surviving orcs you bound to the trees with ropes are still sitting there arguing over whose fault it is and squabbling about who they will blame."
