Ding! That puts us at 15,462 experience points, more than enough to hit fifth level.

Do you want us to level up, or wait until we rest or go back to town?

FYI, I am still working on updating this profile, but as of now, we are a mere 1,182 xp away from 5th level.

Selling everything except for the red scrolls, it will bring us 9,129.6 gp. Splitting it six ways (assuming Miette's write out involves her taking an even share with her) results in each of us getting 1521 gp, 6 sp. If Miette's write out doesn't involve her getting a share and we split it five ways, it would be 1,825 gp, 9 sp, 6 cp.

Thank you! This profile is up to date now. If anyone feels like looking and notices anything I missed, please let me know!

We are at 12,238 xp, just 2,762 xp away from 5th level!

Mark, I am working on updating our tracker so we are up to date before we go to another level. When it is convenient for you, can you please confirm that there was no treasure that we found in the candle lit altar room, and there was no experience for destroying it? Also, that there was no experience for figuring out the fire floor room? Thanks!

Barring any outrageous random encounters, I think we'll still be several thousand xp short of 5th level before we go down the stairs that Dobin discovered. And I can't say I'm eager to come across an encounter that would earn us several thousand xp each at this point!

Assuming we accept Kalgor's offer of 2344 gp for the miscellaneous treasures, that would put us at 9,278 gp, 5 sp and 5 cp.

If we split 9,276 gp amongst the six of us, it would be 1,546 gp each, with 2 gp, 5 sp and 5 cp going to the group fund (now at 5 gp, 8 sp and 6 cp).

We still have 440 gp on account with Kalgor as well that we could draw on.

I did not count us as selling the following items: potion of cure light wounds, potion of cure moderate wounds, holy water, alchemist's fire (x3). I figure we could always sell those later when we reach a level where we clearly wouldn't need them any more.

GM, there was a scroll that we got in the room with three bags (where Kwin summoned an elemental to get into the poisoned bag) that we never identified. Can Kwin tell what it is?

Thank you everyone for your patience! Work has been a madhouse, and at one point I had lost the spreadsheet I was using so I had to start over. :P

Finally, bear in mind that there were items we recovered that you could "buy" at half price by claiming them as part of your loot share. They were: rapier (2), MW chainshirt (2), Chainmail, Heavy steel shield, light mace +1, full plate, longsword, MW breastplate, MW Javelin (2), dagger +1. Kwin is planning on taking the arcane scrolls recovered as part of his share of the loot.

I have us at 8,081, a mere 919 away from 4th level. But I wouldn't be offended if anyone wanted to check my math and/or record keeping. This profile is up to date for both experience and treasure.

That wasn't counting the gem, necklace and snake skin. The gem and necklace Kalgor is willing to pay 835 gp for. The snake skin we still need to approach Ullman about. I say we sell those things and then head back to the Mouth for the secret door hunt.

I’m just catching up on a little bookkeeping. Adding in the sale of the snake skin, necklace and gem, the last haul would give us 3,686 gp as a group. That would be 737 gp and 2 sp each. That’s not counting the 50 gp bandit reward to each of us. I’ll hold onto the five healing potions (one moderate and four light) unless anyone else wants to claim any of them.

Not counting the snake skin, the necklace, the gem, the bandit reward or the potions, the sale value of the mundane gear is 2051 gp.

Edit: We have one potion of cure moderate wounds and four of cure light wounds. One potion to each person? Moderate to Dobin, Jericho or Parfin?

We are at 6,085 experience points of the 9,000 we need for fourth level. Still 3,915 to go.

Left over from last time, we have 3.31 gp of group treasure plus 440 gp on account with the jeweler.

I’ll add up the values of the mundane gear we recovered and calculate what we can sell it for. In the main thread, I’ll seek appraise of a few items.

I'll update this as soon as I can, and post what we have to sell and split. We are still a bit away from our next level.

I am open to another player, but I agree that I don't want to slow us down for just recruiting someone. Maybe if someone knows a reliable poster that is hankering for a RA game?

With a little retraining, I could see what I could do with an improved familiar at 5th level. But until then, it could be a little hairy.

When we are ready to explore again, here’s a summary of our choices.

-There is a door in the other fork of the hallway outside the room where we are holed up.
-We can check out doors A and D in the entry room, though we have reason to believe at least one is trapped.
-We can spend a day (or more) to have Kwin memorize Detect Secret Doors and try to scan this whole level for any missed doors. I’m not sure how long that would take. He could cast it up to six times by taking up most of his spell slots. That would be eighteen minutes worth of scanning. And then he’d need to rest again to regain adventuring spells. If we don’t want to spend a day or more on this now, Kwin will be crafting lenses of secret door detection (think deathwatch eyes, only with Detect Secret Doors instead of Deathwatch) when he has the money. That will make checking for secret doors simple.
-We can go down. We have three ways to go down right now: the stairs in the metal cobra room, the stairs in the leech room, and the ladder concealed in the illusionary pool.

Experience and loot have been updated in this profile. We are at 6,085 of the 9,000 we need for fourth level.

Edit: I suppose we could try to clear out the stirge nests by the pool room as well. Kwin has Glitterdust now that he could throw in to try and cut down their numbers.

I'm not counting consumables in the treasure tally. Here's what we have on that front.

Two potions of cure serious wounds.
Six potions of cure moderate wounds (one each already carried by: Trevor, Kelkzar and Rowena, three unclaimed).
One potion of invisibility (carried by Rowena).
A wand of spiritual weapons, 26 charges (carried by Quintus).
Two scrolls of cure moderate wounds (carried by Quintus).
A wand of cure moderate wounds, 26 charges originally (carried by Quintus).
Two alchemist fires (carried by Quintus).
A scroll of mage armor (carried by Jirin).
A scroll of hold person (carried by Rauno).
A scroll of dominate person (carried by Rauno).
A scroll of fireball (used by Rauno).

so everything except those first potions of healing listed are dispersed.

In the next day or so, I'll get the loot updated in this profile.

This is markofbane/Tragershen. The treasure we found in the ship wreck is now included in the tracker under this profile. Let me know if anyone wants to claim any of the potions and I will make the appropriate notations.

Just FYI, I am tracking our loot in this profile.

This profile has been updated.

Selling the gear we took from the evil party (minus the potions and alchemical items held back and already distributed), brings us 1633 gp. There was a lot of masterwork stuff in there! I’m think we break that out to 270 gp each, with 13 gp going toward the group treasure. That would bring our group treasure to 16.31 gp, plus 440 gp on account with Kalgor the jeweler. Does that sound good? Does anyone want any of the other gear from them before it is sold?

Also, we are at 3,550 xp, 1,450 xp away from 3rd level!

I'll update the profile with loot when I get a chance.

GM, did you want to have me record experience for that encounter?

Did you get enough survey responses to award the bribe bonus for completing it? :)

So please add the following to your character sheets if you haven’t already:
Everyone: 146 gp each.
Jericho and Dobin: Potion of Cure Light Wounds (1 vial each, from gnoll ambush)
Parfin: Chainmail Armor (from gelatinous cube). And please remove the hide armor; its sale was included in the 146 gp.
Kwin: Holy Water (2 bottles, from spiked room)
Felix and Kwin: Maps (2, from spiked room)

I started a “group treasure” category in this profile to keep track of those funds.

Items kept by the group:
Potion of Cure Light Wounds (2 vials, from gnoll ambush): Jericho and Dobin
Chainmail Armor (from gelatinous cube): Parfin
Holy Water (2 bottles, from spiked room): Kwin (unless someone else wants one or both)
Maps (2, from spiked room): Felix and Kwin

Items sold:
Gnoll ambush: 192.2 gp
Gnoll camp: 101.5 gp
Gelatinous cube:
Hide armor from Parfin: 7.5 gp
Fire Opal: ?
Iron Cobra: ?
Glue Room: 500.1 gp
Spiked Room: 38.01 gp

Total value: 879.31 gp (plus gems sales proceeds)
To each: 146 gp + split from fire opal and iron cobra gems.
Left over (party fund?): 3.31 gp

Edit: Updated per GM instructions regarding gems.

Treasure and experience tracking are in this profile. I'll edit this post soon with a few questions on values.

Edit:
GM, for equipment found, do we just sell it for half of book price?

From the gelatinous cube, do we have a value for the fire opal found? Are the spearhead and arrow heads worthless?

That does put us at 2,250 xp, well into 2nd level. :)

I'll be using this alias to track experience and treasure. Please click into the profile for the data. Experience is there; I'll update with the loot as soon as I get a chance.

Edit: Treasure added.
