D&D 5E When Monsters and NPCs take a Short Rest

[Wrathamon]

Sport vs Story the never ending battle

You mean YOUR story is the thing, not the PCs. My players would be furious if I kept the Ogre alive, despite the fact they dropped him, because I wanted to keep going some preconceived "story" I wanted to tell. Why even have the PCs roll, just tell them what result you want?

Glad I don't have your players. And I am glad you have fun with them!
