I can't believe fate handed you a Skunkalanche and you turned it down. That encounter was never about combat.
Aside from "have fun", i think the key to GMing is putting your players into situations where they need to make a choice that has no perfect outcome available. They will hate you for it, but they will be back at the table session after session.
