[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1462026, member: 5777"] I definately agree with pretty much everything pax just said ;) i was even in a debate on another board about a situation where something like the following happened: Party walking along, a dragon lands in front of them, the dragon demands an item from each person or he will kill them all, the party hesitates for a bit, start to give in, one person resists and is blasted into unconsciousness from one breath weapon, after that the party members gave over the items and the dragon left. The dm was on the board saying how silly his players were for expecting to get exp, I said that they succeeded in their goal, staying alive through an encounter. Sure it woudnt be worth a ton of exp, but still some.. Even if they didnt overcome it as he wanted (he apparently wanted them to fight it, of course it would have been a tpk but that is beside the point..) they should still get some exp for overcoming the challenge in some way. anyway, just rambling ;) have a good one all.
