Is the apparition standard or your creation, i remember facing off against a halfling slinger in this fight.
Definately looks like the players have the upper hand here, will this get them to 2nd level?
Looking forward to hearing how the players react to Agrids 'sod this for a laugh' special move.
This is the free download version of KOTS, there are a few changes here and there, including Kalarel the Apparition, it's obviously available free at Wizards. I have played through it previously with the Halfling Slinger, he once got away from the PCs and became a short-lived recurring villain, he travelled under the name of "Jersey Turnpike" as I remember.
As to XP the PCs have been in four encounters so far and have 585 XP each, or thereabouts, Phrenic has 500 XP I started him with a little less so that the PCs would have to work a little harder to ensure all PCs have enough XP to level up.
