Ah, now, I didn't think that's how it was supposed to work.

At least I didn't think that once you'd run out of APs you could just replay the encounter back to full APs again.

It is funny though, isn't it. The troll wins APs by beating Oscar up (or is he just intimidating him) with Great Axe vs Slap, Oscar regains them with his Repartie.
