We are currently at 320 xp, 850 more will push us into level 3. Is that your intent? :)
hey buddy, you beat up the bad guys, you get the XP. I don't make the rules. Lol 200 each for the ghouls, and 450 for the ghast!
level 3 it is! Just a reminder, when you level up, your character sheet should adjust everything automatically. but an FYI, your hit dice, spell slots, and everything else you gain is just appended to your current status. (i.e your health doesn't automatically restart at full, neither do spell slots, or any conditions) and its effective immediately. no need for a long rest or anything.
Also @Kneecap, you get inspiration for that successful turn undead, which really turned the tides real quick in that encounter.
Question, wouldn't the XP for the encounter be split into Dorn, Kneecap, Volneer, and Calim aka about 213 each.
ha! that's a very good point. I'm not sure why i didn't realize that, thanks Volneer! One fight from level 2 to 3 seemed wrong. :)
Ghast = 450XP Ghoul = 200XP x 2 Total = 850XP / 3 characters (could be four since we have Dorn in the mix with Aria...but, since only 3 of us are PCs in the strictest sense) Individual total = 284
It sets us solidly in the middle of level 2. Is that math that makes more sense? I bet we can pop up to level 3 with our next encounter. Or, the DM can suggest that we pop up just to meet our new character and we can all do RPing to make it make sense (I'm ready to do that with Calim). But, I do think we divide the experience points by the number of people playing.
Fair enough. I usually do milestone XP and haven’t dived in to the mechanics of XP points so going forward, we can divide them up by player character. For now though, level three is a great place to be (in my opinion) for returning to westhaven and diving into the new world. (I typically have one-shots that carry players to level three before hopping in to a main campaign anyway, so this actually serves that purpose coincidentally). So, feel free to keep the level 3 status, and going forward we’ll continue properly with XP points 🫡

We can also take into account any and all XP gained from skill challenges prior to the encounter, and up until returning to westhaven.
BTW, I have no issues with milestone leveling either if you wanted to go that route!
I like the idea of XP leveling, but all of my players always request milestone because its less for them to track (we play pencil and paper) so I just haven't had the experience with it. I personally think it's fun, and since we started with XP I don't mind continuing it. unless of course, everyone would prefer milestone.

I'm thinking we are heading back to the town for a bit...more than anything to link up with Culuril's character. I have a few things I feel like I want to do in RPing to make my level up make some sense too.

We're back home folks! Thanks for your patience the past week and a half (ish), looking forward to getting back into this on a regular basis. @Culuril, so sorry for dragging you along for so long!
I was thinking we would head pretty quickly to a place where we need to bed down for the night. I can't put us all up in the forge or my humble hovel. Was thinking the DM would let us know about a local inn, OTheo?
ha! that's a very good point. I'm not sure why i didn't realize that, thanks Volneer! One fight from level 2 to 3 seemed wrong. :)
As much as I would love to be level 3... I don't feel that's right...

Oh, may I make a suggestion?
Ghast = 450XP
Ghoul = 200XP x 2
Total = 850XP / 3 characters (could be four since we have Dorn in the mix with Aria...but, since only 3 of us are PCs in the strictest sense)

Does that feel correct?

Either is fine. Lets go with XP then!
So level 3 then

You got it. Don’t worry, level four won’t come so easily 😌

I'm good with this plan.
As am I

Let me know when I ought to introduce Sabina.
With the group headed to Calim's forge, it seems unlikely she would run into them there - especially before dawn. Probably in the morning?
