Re: Experience Awards

Encounter with Warg Rider Patrol

Account of Proceedings
The entire company were beset by a huge column of 19 gobin warg riders in the heath just outside the ruins, south of Ket. Despite Ulric fireballing the lead group, a pitched battle resulted. Desmond and Rufus were blind throughout, and alas! Poor Rufus was slain in the ensuing melee, and both Ulric and Josiane were incapacitated (reduced to 0 hit points) -- how every easily they could have died too!

14 goblins and 6 wargs were slain, with the rest managing to break off and then flee the field (when it looked like Dieter was just getting started).

Treasure Won
31sp and 120cp (and a few parasite infested warg steaks).

Award
4,376 XP divided in total.
417 XP each for Dieter, Ulric, Highbough, Gustave, Desmond, Josiane, Dorgan, Wen, Armando and Torben.
104 XP each for Olaf and Beringar (for their last minute appearance).

Re: Experience Awards

Hinterlands is FOUR YEARS OLD!

Belatedly (again!) we pause to recongnise another year of Hinterlands play by post. It's kinda hard to believe that this game kicked off March 2010, but there it is.

As is now traditional, each player presently in game gets an XP bonus. The purpose of these bumps is partly to mitigate the slow pace of PBP, and partly to help 1st level/new PCs "catch up" to the higher level PCs in game. This seems especially pertinent this time around as three new PCs have just now started out ;)

Birthday Presents!
Everyone in game catches a 400 XP birthday present.

Happy birthday Hinterlands!

Re: Experience Awards

The Big XP Catchup

The company now consists of 16 players--albeit a couple are presently in NPC mode.

A grand day of adventure followed departure from the Elvish outpost of Southwatch on Hippogriffs.

The rural abbey was assaulted by blunt force; three black-robed sentries were slain, as were twelve wolves before the baying pack alerted those within. Their werewolf masters were quick to respond, bringing the battle to the players--supported by a giant tar-covered Eye-clops. Four werewolves were slain in the ensuing ruckus but two more retreated capturing Gustave while the party was waylaid dealing with the Eye-clops. Wen the Elf ultimately turned its deadly beam upon itself to disintegrate it.

There upon the search descended to the Basal layer below the abbey where several unfortunates found themselves battling shadows in the pitch dark. Nine of the monsters were eventually destroyed, and their treasure trove comprised the main haul.

Meanwhile new-comers to the group finished a Ogre guarding a bridge approach to the abbey.

After much debate the loot was divided as follows:

Josiane the Saint: 1 Share @ 1500xp - Necklace (1500xp)
Wen the Pale: 1 Share @ 1200xp - Partial Necklace (1200xp)
Desmond Double Trouble: 1 Share @ 1200xp - Partial Necklace (1200xp)
Dorgan the Rock: 1 Share @ 1200xp - Partial Necklace (1200xp)
Armando: 1 Share @ 1200xp - Partial Necklace (1200xp)
Highbough the Grey Elf: 1 Share @ 941xp - Necklace (700xp), 148cp (25xp), 216sp (216xp)
Dieter Ogreslayer: 1 Share @ 941xp - 100gp (600xp), 1 gem (100xp), 241sp (241xp)
Olaf Sharp Eyes: 1 Share @ 941xp - 100gp (600xp), 1 gem (100xp), 241sp (241xp)
Torben: 1 Half Share @ 470xp - 50gp (300xp), 1 gem (100xp), 70sp (70xp)
The Gustave: 1 Half Share @ 470xp - 50gp (300xp), 1 silver bowl (100xp), 70sp (70xp)
Ulric Firestarter: 1 Half Share @ 470xp - 50gp (300xp), 1 silver cage (50xp), 120sp (70xp)
Beringar: 1 Half Share @ 470xp - 50gp (300xp), 170sp (170xp)
Helmut: 1 Quarter Share @ 235xp - 25gp (150xp), 85sp (85xp)
Ashtad: 1 Quarter Share @ 235xp - 25gp (150xp), 85sp (85xp)
Valorn: 1 Quarter Share @ 235xp - 25gp (150xp), 85sp (85xp)

Re: Experience Awards

Hinterlands has Passed Sixteen Thousand Posts!

Hinterlands has Passed SEVENTEEN THOUSAND Posts!!

Hinterlands is FIVE YEARS OLD!!!

Abiding by the now longstanding tradition, XP awards are in order for participation in these epic milestones :)

XP Award

Rather crudely now, 16,000 + 17,000 + 5,000 = 38,000 XP to divide among the active characters, those being:

Desmond, Dorgan, Ashtad, Helmut, Olaf, Highbough, Dieter, Josiane, Armando, Wen, Morgan [MIA], Torban [MIA], and Ulric [NPC]. The MIA and NPC players will get a half share, so there are 11.5 shares, or 3,300 XP per share.

Desmond, Dorgan, Ashtad, Helmut, Olaf, Highbough, Dieter, Josiane, Armando, and Wen each accrue 3,300 XP (no PR bonuses) for their ongoing contributions to the Hinterlands saga!


In Additional

Dieter, Olaf, and Torben defeated 6 dog-men and captured their sand-skiff for 200 XP each (PR bonuses apply).
Dorgan and Morgan jointly destroyed 8 goblins at the Abbey and took possession of their 25 sp for 200 XP each (PR bonuses apply).

(You can tote up your individual XP scores, but remember that you can't cash them in and/or level up until your PC spends some town-time at a safe haven).
