Chapter 2 is over...
Chapter 2 is over, and I feel everyone did awesome with role-playing, especially towards the end. Therefore, everyone is awarded 600 XP (500 for last section, plus 100 for RPing).
This should be enough to put you at 3rd level, which is where you want to be for the next chapter. Please adjust your characters, and I will be writing up the start of the next chapter. I hope to post it tonight.
