In this case the party was hip deep in the Underdark from start to finish of the session, so there was no time for them to step out. I played them VERY conservatively, with the cleric using healing and one blade barrier, then his bow the whole time, and the rogue doing a lot of hiding, and one use of his fireball wand (Use Magic Item rocks!) to no real effect.Neither got hurt badly, nor did either take huge risks (unlike some of the players that were there! <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:" /> )Again, my players expect no XP for no participation, I was just curious what others did and the opinion on what I SHOULD do.And lastly, the net effect is that the two that missed are STILL higher XP wise than the rest of the party, because neither have died, neither are replacement characters, and both are original party members.- Wraith</blockquote>
