i'm leaning toward deciding to kill this dude... one of my characters was lucky enough to get lvl2 elemental hail and by experimenting i discovered that by killing smiruk and his party i gained 14632 xp... i'm wondering now exactly how much xp i could have gained by retrieving smiruk's axe - or better yet, what percent xp would i typically gain from solving a quest at any level (another level 5 character gained a measely 3500xp for retrieving the axe)?
