On the Outpost of the Overlord, after you do the quest that involves setting fire to tents, tents remain burnable, which is fun, but I was wondering if this was intentional:It's possible to initiate an encounter, run to the nearest tent, and set it on fire. This kills all the mobs near the tents, but leaves the corpses in a state where you can loot them (this isn't true afaict if you just set the tent on fire without being in combat).If it's not intentional, please leave the burning in and just make the corpses no-loot. Something about running around burning tents full of goody goody elves for fun makes my inquisitor feel very Freeportian and evil.

<div></div><div>You not only have to initiate combat but you have to do enough damage to 'lock' the encounter to you. THis is the same for mobs that fight each other or leading a mob into a guard. If you do enough damage you will get loot rights, quest updates, and experience even if something other than you kills the mob (doubt they take falling damage though it'd be fun to drag mobs lemming-style off a ledge with a scout or monk :smileyvery-happy: ). With test at least guards attacking a mob don't auto-break the encounter, but if you dont' do enough damage before they jump in you don't get anything out of it.</div>
