What I hate about this encounter is the fact that I'm always too tempted to kill Shoal on sight with the aid of Kivan, Imoen and some fancy arrows between them, since this nets you 5000xp and a level up for nearly everyone in the party. It's much quicker and easier than playing out the scene ordinarily, but it sucks from a roleplaying perspective, so I'm always in two minds about it.
