Are you meant to just slaughter other parties for the xp ? I was happy I passed the checks and modifiers to avoid violence outside the crypt to other adventurers so after I do convince them they just leave without an iota of xp to show for the effort.
Hmm. For some reason, I thought that encounter did award xp. It doesn't?
Anyway. I can't say it bothers me either way, though. Mostly because there's so much excess xp in EA. That said, in full release I would certainly hope the non-violent resolution awarded a proper amount of xp.
