Tarkan was ostensibly a CR 5 encounter. 1,600 xp total, 400 xp per PC.His only treasure was the +1 greatclub with which he gave a good bonking or two before you guys trounced him. By my calcuations,time xp actually bumped Yoshiki to level 5  in the middle of the fight or just a smidge before it (2/10) @ 10,004 xp. This encounter + time xp gets Audra only 50 xp short of the 6000 she needs to level, so she'll level in 4 days from time xp even if I haven't given out the final story award by then (which I'm selfishly hoarding to the end of the story. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )[/gm]Inar stumbles a bit in his severity as it becomes clear from Quioan's behavior that he doesn't see Thon as a threat. The young half elf hesitates a moment, looking around. He starts a bit as he sees Tarkan's body, though recognizing the man is dead seems to give him some modicum of new courage."After I got out of the worship hall, I realized what a fool I'd been, but I knew I wouldn't be any help against the priests and the monsters. "I went downstairs, then, to try to distract the acolyte on patrol down there. I didn't want you to have any more reinforcements to deal with. I told him the whole temple had been overrun and we needed to hide, and it sort of worked. He even showed me a secret tunnel, except then I guess he figured out I was scamming him. "I managed to knock him out, and ran up to tell all you about the tunnel, but by then ... well, there wasn't anything but bodies by then. I ran for the tunnel again, but Tarkan had come through. Found all those bodies and just me alive and not a scratch on me, and ... well ... "The young half-elf's face goes red and he hangs his head."I wanted to be brave, but he ... I told him. About you lot and the fight. He dragged me 'long with him until he caught sight of that one in his bear cloak, and I recognized you, but he threw me up against a wall to keep me from yelling out. "Next thing I knew..." Thon gestures to the greusome remains of the once-intimidating Tarkan.</blockquote>
