New area & respawn questions

[caniac1026]

Last night I found a slave camp in between Jury St. Metro, Ft. Bannister, and Power station VAPL58 (take the ruined outdoor rail straight nw out of Jury St. It was down a long, death trap canyon and ended with a few slave pins, a dozen or more raiders, and what appeared to be a bahemoth mutunt caged in some sort of sheet metal thunderdome. I thought I saw another B.M. coming for me so I beat feet. By the time I was out of combat it was time for bed so I had to warp to Megaton & log. Has anyone found quests associated with this area? I didn't get a "Discovered xyz" message at any point and was surprised I didn't get good karma for freeing the slaves.

Second question: I actually followed that trader guy and his escort down the canyon of death to find this place. The were burned down in the opening salvo from the raiders. Does the trader and his caravan respawn if killed? I kind of looted the hell out of his pack brahman

3rd: Follows same line as the second. I kited some raiders back to Ft. Independance and they killed the honcho you turn in tech to for ammo & stimps. Does this guy respawn or is he gone for good too?

The area is some raider hideout, it does have a discovery and name. Also the slaves have two pins side by side unlock both doors for good karma and the slaves will run then. [spoiler:50e9102af7]Also a friendly raider merchant inside I hear, whom has a bobblehead near him. [/spoiler:50e9102af7]
Also the roving merchants I do not think respawn, I've killed everyone I can find and have yet to see them again, except that Crow's packmule still travels its route without him...good job Beth.

Thanks for the input. I'll have to reload and check it out again - maybe try the stealth approach to save the caravaners.
