[sblock=OOPS!!]Yep, I screwed up the numbers. It was definitely the 2,400 vs 600 issue. People haven't leveled yet. I went through and recalculated for everyone. Frost will level by Sunday if you don't finish a fight sooner than that. Daylily and Relic are due to level by the fourth of April. Don't bother undoing and upgrades you had done on the wiki.
I also cleared a bit more space on the inbox. I keep my judge notes in there until a game is done, so my mailbox is always just a couple from full.
Treasure: I just added a block to the first page for treasure splits. Yep, I overdid Relic's toys by quite a bit. But then again, he is the frailest of the party members. The shirt was intended for Daylily since he gets grappled about every third fight. The gloves were just cute and fit in the wardrobe at the time. Frost or Aradra could get very good use out of the slippers. An archer that can never be pinned down in difficult terrain is nice. And well Aradra has been selfless or screwed over so far, depending on perspective. But, he is building towards a possible +4 weapon. Ouch!
Don't worry about the treasure slipping above earnings a bit. We are only half way through the module. In other words, Frost can have the slippers too. Well, Relic, you are cut off for a bit.
At least you got some very nice goodies. So far, Ardra has been getting leftovers. We will fix that soon.
Iosef: guard duty sounds good. He slipped out slightly ahead of the treasure curve too. Might need to reallocate there.

"Oh, okay, that sound better. For a minute, I thought you might have killed him." She catches her breath while Ardra checks on his wolf. After a few rounds Shadow is fine again.
"Umm, I was at wedding rock with Alder and then something came over us while we were... You can guess that part.... The euphoria and bliss was special and sacred. But then these fishmen came. They grabbed me and dragged me away while Alder tried to fight them off. Everything from then on is hazy. They took me underground to a large room. Something there stripped my will to resist away. Later I found myself with many of the other villagers. We were digging."
She sobs,
"The other prisoners told me the wedding rock was a trap. For centuries, the skum have been charming and impregnating women on their wedding night, breeding more of them. The children grow up looking human, but take to the sea one day when they are old. There was also something about this island. The island itself seems to turn humans into the fishmen. We had an alchemist, Gerloch. He was trying to find a way to reverse those changes. He came here six months ago to research. He was the first of us to disappear at a young age. Then more and more disappeared. Now we are slaves, digging to release their master."
"Gerloch is more fish than man now. We were resistant to their demands, but he went to the big dome to experiment. That is when we lost our resolve."
Drying her tears,
"But, just a few minutes ago, my will returned. Sneaking out to the stairs, I ran. You were here to save me."
"The rest of the villagers, they are at the bottom of that cliff." Pointing towards the edge.
Getting defiant at Daylily's comments,
"Ugly! You're a bald, frog eyed freak yourself! I was beautiful a month ago. That is why Gerloch was here. To find a way to reverse this in the fisherman that came too close to the island for too long. The others told me some were born to the ugly, others had it grow upon them."
