The info was pretty much "given by the DM" so to speak. I think we deserve a little less XP then "full XP" in that specific case. However, our intend was the same: we do not want to face that creature in melee. It was loose in a swamp and through knowledge(local) I had heard of such creature enough to know of it's death ray, but certainly not of it's exact range.Our group has a tendency to make everything in our power to make the encounters less "melee-lethal" through cleverness. I think the lowest int score in the group is 16. I think we all have 16 except the wizard <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Also, we haven't talk about the abduction of the two guards that took a suprise round plus one normal round.
