And the BBEG was ready and willing to accept surrenders ... I'd worked that possiblity into the encounter, as I knew it would be tough. It was tougher than I expected, because I underestimated the power of one of the enemies, and overestimated the daring of the PCs. They had the enemies on the run, had a chance to pursue onto favorable terrain & strike a minimally prepared foe--but they were out of cure spells, and decided to call it a night & bed down in the dungeon. Two short passages away from the BBEG HQ. Knowing of at least one surviving minion that knew they were in the dungeon.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  I think they somehow hoped to get through the night & replenish spells without being ambushed by prepped & regrouped BBEG's. Then my overpowered minion combined with some very lucky rolls did the rest. Anyone know what happens when a Horrid Ape lands all three attacks in a full attack, including one critical, and of course his bonus rend?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Mince-meatshield pie, anyone?So sad.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
