I can easily flee, and come back with the deck stacked in my favor. I guess adventures feel more satisfactory with closure. In some cases the DM might want to alter this, to have recurring villain, or to create moral dilemmas for the players. I've done both.Usually there's no gain in keeping enemies (either DMs NPCs or the player PCs) alive. Interrogation is very useful in some cases, but some random orcs are better off dead. There being speak with dead available and all.In other cases it's a waste of resources.Ironically really powerful entities are better left alive, since their lackeys might be able to true resurrect (doesn't need body).</blockquote>
