Just in case anyone's interested, this is where I'll maintain some amusing stats...such as body count:

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for slaying zombie wolves and human guard: 55

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for slaying the ooze, the devil flies, and the possessed human: 115

A milestone has been reached (two encounters with no "extended rest" between them).

From the Player's Handbook:

You gain certain benefits when you reach a milestone—when you complete two encounters without stopping for an extended rest.

Your character starts with 1 action point. No more than once per encounter, you can spend an action point to take an extra action, use certain feats, or use paragon path powers. When you spend an action point, it’s gone, but you can gain more in two ways: by reaching a milestone or by taking an extended rest. Each time you reach a milestone, you gain an action point. After you take an
extended rest, you lose any action points you haven’t spent, but you start fresh with 1 action point.

Therefore everyone gains 1 action point (noted with the "•" symbols in my signature below).

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for defeating imps, a warforged, and a small army of zombies: 335

I'm considering the imp encounter and the zombie encounter together as one milestone, so everyone gets an action point.

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for handling the ogre without a fight: 50

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for battling the sorceress, Alvek, and the possessed ogre: 165

[Jeff]

Quest XP each PC earned for entering Shadowcrest Manor, capturing Alvek, recovering the captive Eftith, and destroying most of Shadowcrest's foul creatures: 500

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for battling the Dissolution-issued warforged thousands of feet above the ground: 200

(As always, this XP has already been added to your character sheets, so you don't need to do so.)

[Jeff]

XP Belarin, Kal, Charis, Grafth, and Streko earned for at last clearing their names after all this time: 300

[Jeff]

XP earned for succeeding on Prince Aurad's skill challenge: 150

(100 for the challenge itself, and 50 for putting in the good effort.)

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for beating the two changelings and the half-org thug: 115

XP each PC earned for beating the dwarf, mage, warforged, and gelatinous cube: 250

(I'll update characters sheets with XP soon enough.)

[Darren]

ARGH! That puts Kal 25 XP shy of a new level!!!!

[Jeff]

Then you haven't been paying attention! Grr! Everyone's going to start again at 5th level, regardless.

[Darren]

I know! So I feel even more cheated, since I almost made it there all by myself!

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for beating three deathjump spiders and two zombies: 140

(I'll update characters sheets.)

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for beating the two statues, overcoming (perhaps the hard way) the spiked pit trap and the slamming doors trap: 170

As always, I've done the XP updating on your sheets.

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for defeating a skeleton archer, 1½ gargoyles, a gaggle of ghouls, a giant beetle, and a reaver (the apparition): 400

More XP will come if you "conclude" the quest that brought you to the tomb in the first place, by surviving and returning to the quest-givers.

[Darren]

Man, only 400 experience for all that fighting!? This guy is tough....at this rate, we might level up again some time in late 2011.

[Ken]

Darren, you're not really complaining that, since we entered this tomb, we've gone fully one-third of the way from 5th level to 6th, are you? Sounds like a pretty good progression.

[Darren]

Not fast enough! Kal needs power! Kal HUNGRY! KAL SMASH!!!!

;D




In all seriousness, I have no idea what's normal. I just like to complain about everything.

[Brian]

And we're not done yet!

It's true. Darren was my roommate for a semester in college. I can vouch for this.

But hey, Darren, here's a tip: next time the party faces some bad guys, have Kal hold up his hand and say, "I've got this one, guys. It's all me."

Because do you realize that if Kal had fought his way through the tomb alone, he'd have 2,400 XP by now? Or, he'd be very very dead, and the monster that killed him would have earned some nice XP. ;D

[Darren]

Nah. Kal's barely worth anything. All bone and gristle.

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for surviving the otyugh, escaping the Depths of Sharn, and putting an end to Gerus's problem: 500

As always, I've done the XP updating on your sheets.

[Jeff]

XP Adamant, Kal, and Streko earned for defeating Trag and the thugs: 160

XP Belarin, Condign, and Syrdan earned for Silvermist investigations: 150

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for defeating the Daask thugs (10 goblins, 3 gnolls, Rejda, and a troll) 270

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for meeting with 'Z' and bringing the City of the Dead quest to its "conclusion": 420 Which actually brings everyone above 7,500 XP.

That's right, folks. Everyone's leveling up. Welcome to level 6! We'll hash out details in the private threads, okay?

I'll boost the basic numbers soon, which will take effect in-game immediately. But what you'll have to decide is:

1 new feat
1 new level 6 utility power

Those won't kick in until you get an extended rest. And no, the sleep-inducing gas isn't counting for that. You'll see.

[Jeff]

XP each PC earned for rescuing Lerrhana (to whatever end that may be!), for defeating traps, a number of vampires and vampire spawns, and a shadow hound: 480

This has been added to your sheets.

[Darren]

Huh. We should have killed a few more guys on our way out. At this rate, we'll never get to level 8.

[Jeff]

I guess it's a rule that Darren complains after every XP dole-out at this point, right?
