Hmm, while making sure that the XP totals I have on Quinn's PC sheet are right, I've come to realize that I don't think I gave out XP for the PCs when they fought the rooks with the rook alpha just before they met Maur. (I also think I missed giving out XP for the fight against the ghast.)
I did calculate the XP for the first fight with Maur as a member of the group against the cultist patrol that the PCs ambushed on the first level of the temple. That turned to to be
900 XP for each PC (or
3,600 XP in total).
The ghast was worth
400 XP and the Rooks with the Alpha were worth
4,300 XP.
That means Maur has gained
1,000 XP for the fights against the first group of cultists and the ghast.
The other PCs have gained
2,435 XP each from those three battles.
Below is the previous summary of XP from earlier in the game...

_____________________________________________
This means that
Caerth and
Phar have gained
12,590 XP in total and
Quinn has gained
12,940 XP in total up until the current ongoing battle. So Caerth and Phar should have
33,590 XP each and Quinn should have
33,940 XP before the current fight broke out.
I believe the group agreed to have Maur come into the game with the XP minimum for 8th level since the other PCs had just reached 8th level (or were about to). We should probably do the same for
@Tellerian Hawke's PC, Angus.
Regardless, I'm going to say that both Maur and Angus come into the game with half the XP required to reach 9th level. That would give each of them
32,000 XP to start. Maur has gained an extra 1,000 XP, so his total before the current fight is
33,000 XP. He's a bit behind the other PCs but not by a lot.
Angus's first XP gained will be for the current fight. He'll be behind the other PCs but not by too much. His intro into the game was really cool, so I'm giving T.H. a
750 XP bonus for that.
Hmm, I think also gave Caerth a special XP bonus for using the dire boar as a battering ram... I'll check. Yes, I gave him an
ad hoc bonus of 100 XP. It still makes me smile, so I'm going to upgrade it to
250 XP.
NPCs
Aureus gets half of what the PCs get, so she gets
1,218 XP. She now has a total of
30,723 XP.
The other NPCs will have their totals calculated separately from Aureus and the PCs, later. I'm going to treat them as their own adventuring group fighting alongside the characters.
Time for lunch!
