Clearing the Crypts
 

Today I found out accidentally that when your character "prays" at the cross in a crypt (in the Furious Paladin quest), all the enemies in the crypt drop dead. Maybe everyone else knows that already, but I don't remember seeing it anywhere. (In the past I always fought all enemies before praying.)

Yep, this is normal. Just for fun, I tried to complete the three quests (crypts, statues, and lost town chronicles) without getting into a single fight. I had to dodge quite a few enemy stacks, but it was doable.

I wouldn't avoid the fights in a game I was taking seriously (the gold and xp matter early on), but I enjoyed finding out that it was possible.
