After escaping Fort Joy (via boat), I return to it afterwards to end all loose ends and to grind some xp.

I reentered the Flenser Playground through the sewer grate and led Trice to freedom. As I have got Fane in my party and bartered for the face removal tool, there isn't anybody hostile in the vecinity, unless I start up a fight myself.

Then she escapes running and that's the extent of it: No notification, no xp, nothing.

Is this intended?
