Wizard Victory!
Ok, whew! You have emerged victorious from the battle with the hobgoblins. Just some clean-up remains, and some searching of the keep. Oh, there may be a few scattered fights left here and there, but nothing like the extended battle with the hobgoblins. I'll get xp figured later today (I hope). This would be a good point at which to take a break from the dungeon and level up. And, Lou, it's at the "level-up break" when it would be easiest for you to trade Xavier Zalev for a character of your own, if you wish to do so. You're more than welcome to keep Xavier, however, and if you want to do something of a re-build of Xavier, then you can do that when you level up, too. (I mean changing things like skill allocation, feat selection, spell selection, weapon use, etc.)
When you finish up all of the Hobgoblin Keep, you will have completed the first portion of the adventure. And, oh yeah!, you haven't even found any clues as to what's going on yet!

What's Left, You Ask?
You have not yet explored either the southern or the eastern portions of the keep, and, let's not forget that mysterious stairway leading down that is to be found in the northern portion. (See the most recent map.)
[sblock=Spoiler]OH YEAH! And also, don't forget the hobgoblins that you left behind, trapped in the web! You might want to get back up there and dispatch them while you still can, hint, hint.[/sblock]

Brief Recap
For Lou's benefit, here's a brief recap of what's happened so far:
After classes let out at Whirtlestaff's for the summer, the group was hanging around campus (a large tower) when Professor Daniel J. ("Jack") Claret asked you to run an errand for him to take something to his friend, Crus, in the little town of Twain, located at the eastern end of Quail Valley, up the River Wren from Pembrose (the largest town in Quail Valley). (Pembrose is to be found at the confluence of the River Wren and the Quail River.) You booked a brief sea passage across to the mainland, arriving at the town of Pembrose. From there, you traveled by barge up the River Wren to Twain. Upon your return back to Pembrose you were asked by the local Lord to clear out an infestation of hobgoblins in a small keep not far from Pembrose. You are still in the process of that task.
(For a bit more detail, see the first post of the IC thread.)

Role-Play Bunuses to XP
Scotley/Tylara: 100 xp
Mowgli/Manny: 100 xp
Lou/Xavier: 100 xp
(That cuts Kerlan's lead to 50 xp, if memory serves. Kerlan previously received a 150xp role-play bonus wayyy back.) It was a good run, Kerlan, but you had to know that it wouldn't last forever, right?)
And, yes, this is done just to equalize xp among the party. I can live with Kerlan having 50 more than the rest of you, can't you also? From now on, I'll try to still award good role-play with bonus xp, but it will be added to the group's total, not individual awards. Therefore, the bonuses may be a bit larger so that you'll be able to notice the impact of the bonus that's been diluted among the whole party, and you'll still have plenty of incentive to WOW me with your awesome role-playing. Everyone is doing a fantastic job so far!
