[QUOTE="Boddynock, post: 4821658, member: 21506"] [SIZE="1"]OOC: OK, my disorganisation has triumphed again. I haven’t managed to get this game off the ground again, so I’m going to cut your losses and make treasure and XP awards, and get you guys back to the RDI. [sblock=Treasure awards]Initial payment: [B]100 gp[/B] each. Final reward from Bridgend Merchants Association: [B]100 gp[/B] each. 20% of value of returned items: [B]100 gp[/B] each. Huffgood refuses to issue 5% lifetime discount certificates. Additional rewards: Ciprinus received [B]20 gp[/B] from Leesha Honeylott, as well as a [B]Monitor lizard[/B] and a [B]wand of Charm Animal (21 charges)[/B] from Perkiss. Midias receives a [B]MW light crossbow[/B] from Perkiss. Ries receives a [B]MW chain shirt[/B] from Perkiss. Sarn received [B]17 gp[/B] prize money from the wood-chopping contest, as well as a [B]MW cold iron handaxe[/B] from Yarman.[/sblock][sblock=XP awards]For defeating Perkiss and the baboon troupe: [B]300 xp[/B] each. For fine roleplaying, I’m awarding the maximum Halford had planned: [B]150 xp[/B] each. Time award: 08/09/04 - 09/06/10 = 9 months @ 50 XP per month = [B]450 XP[/B] each. Therefore each PC receives [B]900 XP[/B].[/sblock][/SIZE] IC: As you start off down the street, you hear a ruckus from the inn you just left.
