Last session in my OSE game my team encountered a Gorgon as a random encounter. I thought this would be a pretty cool battle. I rolled monster reaction and the Gorgon was indifferent. Then my players decided to take a detour around it and skip the fight.

Is it standard to roll reaction roll like this? Or is that for humanoids only? Should a random encounter in wilderness automatically mean combat?

I think it is cool that my players decided to just not deal with an enemy they thought was pretty dangerous, but I kind of feel like maybe the enemy should have charged for attack. If I roll reaction rolls for all my random encounters in wilderness very very few will actually be fights, especially when the group can decide to just run away.
