Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding fleeing from ecounter in Sea of Blood.
Hereoes had an encouter "Death Takes Wing" where overlord didnt have any ship and have no possibility to spawn/reinforce monsters that can control ships (only manticores are available in this encounter).
We randomed map "Tropical Shower" for the encounter. The heroes in their first turn used the captains wheel to move their ship 4 spaces to their left so there were no obstacles in front of the ship till the end of the map. Then they just jump into water and left the ocean map. What happens then?
I assume this is not considered as automatic end of encouter since the Revenge didnt reach the end of the map. The ocean currents direction was pushing the Revenge to the exit on the oposite side of the ocean map. Also as i said above, the OL only had manticores available for this encounter, which cannot man the ship stations. There were also no obstacles in front of ship.
As an Overlord i was really pissed of that i can do nothing. Heroes fled from the map, and i could not change the ship direction. The ocean currents where slowly moving Revenge to the end of map...
What shall we do in such situation? Is there any vanilla rule or house rule that you folks use?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
