[sblock=Atreus]You stalk the man, a balding, heavyset man with permanent frown lines, moving confidently through the twilight shadows. Once you are behind him, you hurl your dagger at his head, and watch in horror as it sails over his shoulder and smashes a window with a loud crash.
The man turns and looks at you, then screams. "Aaiiiiiieee!!! Help! Help! Murderers! Ruffians! Thieves!" He takes off running towards the brightly lit temple grounds, where several very shiny-looking guards have taken notice. They look in your direction, but you have prudently slipped deeper into the shadows, and their eyes pass over you, unseeing.
Over the next few minutes, more guards arrive, with lanterns and torches, and it becomes evident that you will not get a second chance this night.
ooc: Heh, not a great time for a natural 1.
I used your second stealth roll to get away. Anyway, I'd like to wrap this scene up quickly if we can, the rest of the party are getting anxious.

ooc: So while we're waiting to finish up Atreus' scene, is there anything else the rest of you want to do before retiring for the evening? I assume you'll want to exchange what information you've separately gathered. (Or not, as you see fit.) KenHood, let me know when you're done with Palindrome's ability score changes; now's as good a time as any to go ahead with that.

Man I am unlucky! When it really counts I roll a friggin 1! It seems that Kenhood has passed on the curse of the one! Well, the death of the elf will just have to wait til another day.
Atreus fetches his dagger back and leaves for dod's Tower. When he enters, he goes straight for his room to rest...

[sblock=Gone for a week]Like Atriden, I'll also be on Roskilde Festival next week.
As posted, Woe rejoins the group after taunting Arnest and trying to set up some leverage for the party (I've been waiting for Arnest's reaction, but I guess there wasn't any). Woe will eagerly act on the latest information and support a venture/infiltration/raid to Whiteside Barrows.[/sblock].

[sblock=Time for XP!]Here's what I've got for XP:
All: Trapped stairway:
All: Ritual chamber encounter:
Palindrome, Tander, and Atreus: Skill challenge, escape through the sewers. Complexity 3, level 2: 375 xp, or 94 each.
Palindrome and Tander: 4 months time XP (26 Feb 2009 - 26 June 2009): 416 each
Woe: 2 months time XP (26 Feb 2009 - 26 April 2009): 208 xp
Atreus: 5 months time XP (1 January 2009 - 1 June 2009): 415 xp
Palindrome: 25 xp for drawing a picture of Mobile Fortress Bunkbed, which cracked me up.
Woe: 25 xp for having a picture of himself on his shield. That's class!
All: 1000 xp (250 each) for completing a major quest: reuniting Arnest with his family.
Bottom line:
Palindrome: 1030 xp
Tander: 1005 xp
Woe: 728 xp
Atreus: 1004 xp
Pretty sure only Atreus levels from that. Atreus, don't forget your first xp award here, either, which I only mention 'cause it's not linked from your sheet at the moment.
[sblock=Woe's XP]Since you were missing from 28th April to 18th June without any word, I don't feel comfortable giving XP for that time, or the skill challenge that took place then. Sorry; I know life happens, but next time let us know, eh?[/sblock]

All: Trapped stairway:
- magic crossbow trap: 150 xp
- spear gauntlet trap, mishandled so as to be harder than the one in the DMG: 175 xp

All: Ritual chamber encounter:
- Arnest (artillery 4) 175 xp
- Tsasha (controller leader 3) 150 xp
- Orc (brute 4) 175 xp
- Gravehound (soldier 3) 150 xp
- Total 650 xp, or 163 each

Palindrome groans, knowing that no one else will answer the door.
Shuffling out of bed, he adjusts his appearance with prestidigitation. Standing to the side of the door, with his wand hidden, Palindrome cracks open the door. "What do you need? There's been a band of criminals masquerading as Master Doddoddod's employees, and we won't permit your entry until you supply the appropriate bona fides."

OOC: We're going to jail! We're going to jail! We're going to jail!

"No need to let me in, sir," the courier responds politely. She is a fit-looking young half-elf in brightly colored livery with contrasting braided cord at the seams. "I merely convey Lady Glasston's thanks to the wizard Doddoddod, along with a small token of her -- oof! -- gratitude." She grunts with effort as she slips a heavy bag off of her shoulder. It clinks enticingly as it hits the ground. "If you'll sign here, here, and here, and initial here, I'm sure I can leave it in your hands, yes?"
