But if you want to level up, here are some guidelines.
I take it that we are limited to the feats listed in the Beginner's Box guidelines when levelling up? For example, the Rogue is essentially forced to take Quiet Allies as their Skill Feat and is limited to one of Mobility, Quick Draw [one-action], and Unbalancing Blow for their Class Feat.
OK. Mary's all levelled up and ready to go.

That's how I took it. We're playing BB, so we should follow their rules.

Since this is almost certainly the big final fight, I just wanted to remind everyone that we picked up some one-time special abilities in the elemental room that we can each use once in the next 24 hours, namely:
By spending 1 action to call upon the wind, that hero can fly for their next action, moving up to 40 ft. You have to end on solid gound or fall and take bludgeoning damage.
If you spend an action to call upon the earth, all your melee Strikes deal 2 extra damage from the sudden surge of strength. This bonus lasts until the start of the hero's next turn.
Unless terrain is an issue, I think we can all move more than 40ft using two Strides, so I'm not sure how useful the flying one will be; 2 extra damage per melee strike for one turn is potentially more useful though.
Oh, and let's not forget some of the other things we picked up along the way. In addition to the healing potions, which I suspect will come in very handy during this fight, we also have a Jar of Oil and Lesser Alchemist's Fire (Valeros), and a bunch of scrolls including Heal (Kyra) and Magic Weapon (Ezren, Kyra).
The Magic Weapon spells in particular will be very useful in this fight and should be cast on each of our weapons immediately (Valeros's sword, Kyra's scimitar, and Mary's bow and rapier).
Given the damage output that this dragon can generate, we should assume that anyone that goes in to take it on at melee range will go down almost immediately. As such, Kyra and her ranged Heal spells (30ft range) will be key to getting us through this in one piece. She has to stay conscious at almost any cost, which means that she should avoid engaging the dragon directly unless she can get out of range before the dragon's next turn.
Let's also not forget things like AoO and other possible reactions the dragon may be able to bring to bear if we get close enough.

Just to confirm... Mary shot two arrows with attack rolls of 29 and 21. It appears that only the first (crit) roll counted as a hit, but not the second (21). Is that correct?
I'm just trying to get a handle on the dragon's AC. The successful attacks so far have been 24, 23, 28, 29, and if 21 is not a hit, then the dragon's AC appears to be 22 or 23. Tough bugger. I'm glad our rolls have been good so far and the dragon's have been terrible. With 4 attacks per turn in the +13 to +15 range, it is a minor miracle that Valeros got through the dragon's turn still on his feet, let alone totally unscathed.
It's only a matter of time before it breathes all over us again though or its attack rolls revert to the mean. Let's hope those good rolls keep coming our way, because the longer this fight lasts, the less chance we have of surviving it.

If you hadn't guessed, this is the end of the adventure!
Feel free to finish roleplaying, talking with Tamily, and what adventures lay next for your character.
I'll get out chronicle sheets for those who want one and report the scenario by the end of the day.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Hope you all had fun playing.

I enjoyed myself too. Mary was a lot more fun to play than I expected. It also helped to have a good GM running things and active players that worked well together. With a little luck we'll run into each other again in another adventure.

They just announced Downtime changes for several modules and adventures, including this one.
Nice! One can always use the extra funds and reputation.
Any ETA on the chronicles?
| Marysiel |
Sorry, had an impromptu visit from my parents yesterday! Working on them now. Do you want me to update your old chronicles as well?
If it's not a big deal, then sure. Otherwise I'll tack a note onto the new chronicle as per the instructions.

To put it officially on the record, here is the downtime Earn Income roll for Mimi, the PC to whom the chronicle will be applied:
Performance vs DC 14 (Level 0): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 (trained)
One last crit for the road! 8 days * 2 sp = 1.6 gp earned.
