Flight and Bribery

Two ways out of a fight that do not end in blood.

Every monster band can be paid to leave, though some listen far more readily than others, and every offer that ends without a deal gives the monsters a free round. The price depends on how many monsters are still standing, so a reduced band costs less. A paid band leaves and takes nothing, but it pays no experience either.

The whole party flees together through one door. A room you flee keeps its monsters and its treasure, and the surviving monsters are at full health when you return. Fleeing a fight in the halls drops the party elsewhere on the floor.
