Shouldn't we be at level 5 by the end of episode 5?
As an AL group, we were surprised to get to the end of Chapter 5 (Construction Ahead), purportedly a mystery/RP episode and found no experience rewards for any of the discovery and negotiations performed in Carnath Roadhouse. I think everyone was expecting another 700xp to hit level 5 by the end of this. This is doubly-painful as by the end of Episode 6 NON-AL characters 'milestone' to level 6 .... What have I missed?
(My guess is this is a 'design-gap' as a result of publishing the hardcover prior to fleshing-out the 5e/AL rules. I have looked for errata that might address this, too, as my (level 4) party is about to get slaughtered by NINE lizardmen :-0 )
With Season 8 it is all about advancement points, so EXP means nothing. That being said you should be 5 after chapter 4 if you do milestone. But if you do true AL, chapter 4 and 5 together should easily give you enough AP to gain level 5.
Milestone advancement for any hardback solves so many problems. Its too bad you cannot use that instead when doing a hardback.
Yeah. Milestones didn’t apply. In the end, they chose to RP the lizardmen and made enough exp at the castle to fill the gap. Then season 8 hit and we all elected to switch to homebrew.

Just had this same problem.
However after reading in more detail, I found on page 34 the milestone and exp, just above the "Trade Way Events" table.
i don't think this will help you much now as it was 6 months ago you posted this, but maybe someone will see this and not have the same stress.
