After the game I pointed out that thre is nothing in the rules that would allow that result and was told that the module said she had to get away and that was that.  <spoiler> If we had been somehow been distracted or engaged and were later told what happened I would have been fine with it as a Plot Point.  But having the characters present and allowed to take actions but be totally ineffective no matter what they did was frustrating.  I dont need to be frustrated as a player to have my PC be frustrated that the BBEG got away.  We played throught he second one also, and I thought it was better but also somewhat aggrevating, but that may simply be my recollection of being generally unhappy with it at that point more than anything in the game itself.Overall I have found that I love the IK setting, and find the execution of lots of the mechanics to be lacking. Also, the first book came out long before the IK setting books came out and thus has stuff like "There is an opening the size of a halfling" IIRC - you will want to be on the lookout for that.</blockquote>
