Catastrophe!

Not sure who the judge is (or if we ever had one), but if the xp awards are updated on the first page (and it looks like they are) then we need a judge to approve the rewards.

[MENTION=6684473]CrimsonFlameWielder[/MENTION] Was there any treasure besides the items we were given at the start of the adventure? I don't recall if there was.

Suddenly, the four adventurer's feel a bit woozy. The room begins to get hazy and out-of-focus before going black. You can feel yourself being pulled through some kind of dark void, but the lack of any sort of light keeps you from seeing where it is that you are being moved to.
Gradually, you can feel yourself slowing down until you come to a halt....somewhere. Ever so slightly your vision begins to return, and blinking at the rather bright daytime sun, you can see that you are...wait what!? You're at the Daunton Docks!?
With a quick look about you, a realization comes. Cadalis is being held by a couple of large thug-like bugbears, and a large human, somewhat resembling Cadalis, if not quite a bit more mature-looking, stands before you.
"I understand that my son hired you to explore and retrieve an item. I apologize for the abrupt teleportation, but I can't have my son gallivanting off to who knows where, spending my money on whatever he wishes, and stealing by ship..." he says with understandable frustration, glaring at the cowering Cadilis.
"However. A shore keeps his word. Even if he is meant to do so, and not in the manner he wishes. If you have retrieved the item that was sought after, then you will be rewarded as you were promised."
Upon the floor beside Dina, lay the blue-glowing orb, which you hand over to the man after Cadilis nods his assent.
"Good. I will ensure that this is not placed in the wrong hands. Now... for your reward. I have collected the majority of my son's belongings and divided it as necessary among five lockers, each of which have a key. These lockers are located in the Daunton bank, and ownership of the appropriate key will grant you access to your locker."
He hands each of you a key.
"I trust you can find your way there. I thank you for your services, and now release you from your contract with my son. Pleasant day to you." he says in a final dismissal, turning to his son and nodding to the Bugbears, who roughly jerk Cadilis to his feet before dragging him off toward whatever destination his father has planned.
After a short jaunt to the bank where you present your key to a bank teller, you are ushered into your locker. And by locker, Mr. Shore was using simple language for an entire room! Treasures of the like you've never seen before are hanging about, and you realize just how well you have been rewarded! Apparently the Shore family is quite a bit more rich than Cadilis lead on.... or the orb was really just that valuable. In either case, you spend the next hour counting out the shiny pieces of gold that were laid on a table before placing them into your packs and bags, and collect your new belongings!
[sblock=TREASURE AND XP!]
The first post of this adventure (on page 1) has been updated to reflect the most current rewards, both XP and treasure! I encourage you to check out your total XP earnings so that you can see if you are anywhere near your next level.
Because you guys were all reaaaaaally low on treasure count for your levels, I have majorly bumped you guys up. For those that are/were 4th level as of the beginning of the Kruthik Queen fight, I bumped your wealth level to around 7,500 gp (which is about 1/2 way between what you should have at the end of 3rd level, and what you should have at the end of 4th level.
For TCO, I unfortunately had to calculate everything at your ACTUAL level (lvl 1) so your current wealth level is a bit more than half way between what you should have had at the end of level 1 and what you should have when you reach the end of level 2, so your current wealth level is at 3,000 gp. This last encounter gave you enough experience so that you are now level 2! Congrats!
Good luck in your next set of adventures. I hope to have the pleasure of DMing for you again some day!

[sblock=Judge Approval Please]
I need judge approval for the treasure and XP I am giving to my players (please see the first post of this adventure on page 1 for the exact totals and items given), as well as approval for however many DM points I am supposed to earn (I think it's 2 per month DMing the adventure, but I'm not sure if there is a pro-rate for the 20 days that was left over after DMing for 4 months and 20 days [maybe 1 DM point?])

Hah! It seems that Luinnar was really on top of me. I hadn't had a chance to finish yet... So if you could re-approve as of my latest post, that would be great!

Just a wee question which I ask because TCO (aka Boris) is soooo close to level 3: 3482 xp
If my calculations are correct TCO had 983 xp from encounter rewards after Battle 2: Kruthik Soldiers. Time awards would have bumped him to level 2 at that stage. Which means all the time after that encounter TCO should have been accumulating time XP as a level 2 PC, right?
It wasn't a concern to level up at the time as he was temporarily bumped to lvl 3. But being at the gates of level 3 now, I'd rather not make a level 2 version of TCO when he is going to basically level up after 2 days in his next adventure, especially as the level 3 sheet is already done.
Am I right on this one? If so what would be the correct XP total?
Cheers

You would be correct had I given out time XP throughout the adventure. But since Time XP is not treated as xp earned at any time other than when it is given out (but calculated based on the level of the character as they are adventuring), I don't know if we can do that. If Luinnar wants to approve it that way, I'm okay with it, certainly (cause I really don't blame you for wanting to stay at 3rd level, rather than go back down just to come up after an encounter or two), but then I think it would only be fair to treat ALL of the time XP that way, which I think would require a proposal.
