Welcome everyone to 13th level! Please have an updated character sheet for your characters to use once you rest again.
*********************************************************************************
Sessions 52-58 conclude the first part of Zola's backstory and as such nets her an additional 4800 experience. Also I am summarizing the In Character Rewards experience from session 53-58. Any that have made 5 or more consecutive sessions is eligible for an additional reward as listed in the In Character Rewards post. The complete totals will be shown below.
Kel gains 480 xp for 4 good sessions but alas lost the card this past session.
Jobi gains 600 xp and has made 5 consecutive sessions.
Zola gains 720 xp and has made 6 consecutive sessions.
Blackwell gains 600 xp and has made 5 consecutive sessions.
Asphodel gains 720 xp and has made 6 consecutive sessions.
Zerak gains 720 xp and has made 6 consecutive sessions.
Now for the rest of the experience: Everyone has earned 60,133 xp for part 1 of The Afterlife Machine and the complete totals (including everthing spelled out above) are as follows:
Kel has 280,134 xps Zola has 288,733 xps Blackwell has 288,613 xps
Asphodel has 286,333 xps Jobi has 298,613 xps Zerak has 288,733 xps
*******************************
Sessions 50 and 51 netted enough experience for everyone else (except Kel) to reach 12th level. Feel free to update your characters since after the last battle with Alira Vond, there are no more battles till we rejoin this game in several months. Session 52 will be just a RP session to wrap up some things you may want to do (and possibly some more downtime if you guys want it).
So everyone gained 14,934 experience points. Zerak and Jobi also gained an additional 1,600 xp each as a story award and Kel receives an extra 5,200 xp for her settlement building downtime activities. The grand totals are:
Jobi 237,880; Zerak 227,880; Blackwell 227,880; Asphodel 225,480; Zola 223,080; Kel 179,800
*******************************
We'll start with Kel who has recently rejoined the group. She receives 27,790 for a total of 159,666 making her 11th level. Note that this doesn't include any experience from her "off camera" work on her temple/settlement.
Everyone else receives 33,550 points for the following totals: Jobi has 221,346 - welcome to 12th level! Blackwell has 212,946. Zerak has 211,346. Asphodel has 210,546. And Zola has 208,146 experience points.
If your character leveled, please have a new version of her ready for the next session, just in case you guys rest before the session is over.
*******************************
*******************************
Welcome to Level 11 everyone!
*******************************
For sessions 39 through 41 everyone earned a total of 23,333 experience points and Blackwell gets an additional 2,400 experience points story award. Current totals should be: Zola and Kel at 131,876. Asphodel and Blackwell at 134,276. Zerak at 135,076 and Jobi at 145,076.
For session 42 now that the party numbers five (and Kel does not receive any of this) the experience point total is 11,520 and the totals are as follows: Zola 143,396; Asphodel and Blackwell 145,796; Zerak is at 146,596; and Jobi is now 11th level with a total of 156,596! Please have an updated sheet for 11th level so you can use it after the group rests.
Since Kel is going to be in the background for a little I will work out separate experience for her as she develops her settlement, which should keep her close in level to the rest of the party.
*******************************
Since the PCs are leveling up in the middle of an adventure, you can only take a level in one of his/her existing classes. When leveling in a large enough town (like Neverwinter, or Valindra's Blackstone Keep) you are able to choose any approved class to level into.
*******************************
*******************************
*******************************
As we move forward, you'll begin to see more individual story awards as more background stories start to get into full swing, so don't despair if you haven't seen an individual bonus yet because they're coming. :)
Exciting News Indeed! Session 31 has pushed everyone's experience point totals above the magic number for 9th level! Everyone gets 8,141 points for a total of 77,270. Zerak's total is 79,670 and Jobi's total is 80,470 (let me know if my math is off). Let me know what class you'll be taking for your 9th level. And I'll be out of town the next two Fridays - so the next session will be July 5th - lots of time to update your character, including on the site. :)
*******************************
NOTE: Please keep your 8th level character at the same level of hit points, spell use, etc - this is because we are in the middle of a battlefield and you won't actually be able to rest and level up until after the battle for Gardmore Abbey is done. We will be using your 8th level characters for about the first half of the session on July 5th. So make sure you have your 9th level character all ready to go.
*******************************
*******************************
This week's synopsis also contains content from Asphodel's point of view (written by Kevin). If you want to have your character's point of view included in the synopsis, then just send me a write up and I will work it in (try to keep it to the point at hand, since if I get something from everyone, the post may turn out quite long).
*******************************
No game this Friday (May 3 2013). We will resume the following Friday (May 10 2013).
*******************************
Since the next encounter will put everyone at 8th level, I'd like everyone to bring not only their 7th level version but a leveled up 8th level version of their character for the next session.
Make sure your 7th level character is left just as it was after the battle in the large room.
I will award experience points after the next session as well so you'll have the experience totals for your 8th level versions.
*******************************
*******************************
Since we left off right at the beginning of an ambush please keep your 6th level version of your characters for that battle.
But also bring a 7th level version of your character that you will begin to use right after that battle.
*******************************
*******************************
For Session 16, the experience points awarded are 4,000 each - the total should be 23,494 I believe and this makes you all 6th level!
Remember everyone gets 1 hero point for leveling up.
Zerak gets an additional hero point for his innovative use hero points and the boon he had from Halaster's puzzle in order to save Jobi - This is a special award and does not count towards the usual 3 hero point maximum if you already have three.
Please also send me an update to your magic items - the ones you currently have AND your wishlists. If anyone wants to add a level in a prestige class, please send me an email confirming its ok to add the class. Since you're still in a dungeon, some of the benefits may have to wait until you reach the surface again.
Make sure you also update your characters on the web site as well.
********************************
The experience points awarded for the last couple sessions is 2,800. This should bring your individual totals to 19,494.
*******************************
Plus in addition through the Undermountain encounters each member gets an additional 1,033 (so the total should be 16,694 if I’m not mistaken).
*******************************
Note that you should have a total of 14,861 experience points (if my calculations are correct).
Very close to 5th level, but still 4th.
I expect that each of you will attain 5th level after the next encounter I have planned for our next session. So, we will start with the 4th level version of your characters, since that encounter assumes that you are still 4th level.
But please have a 5th level version of your character ready to go, so we get into new encounters. Based on our history, I tend to think that the intervening role-playing encounters will go smoothly and leave us enough time to get into some more "meat and taters" encounters that y'all love. :)
