I think I'll burn a DMC point to get Kazanto over that hurdle. Then she'll actually have fire.
You did a fine job, jkason! GMing isn't an easy job, and it takes a certain balance of planning and going with the flow (i.e. winging it). Be proud, you performed well here.

Thanks, guys, for the kind words. I think it wasn't a disaster, which was largely all I was after. Probably be a while before I undertake DMing again, but probably good I've at least tried it once. 
[MENTION=93930]Systole[/MENTION], I just remembered that Daylily started out in a different adventure, and by my estimation spent 19 days (April 21 - May 10) as part of Howling Night. You might be due time XP from that, though you'll probably want to ask the judges. I'm afraid it doesn't help Quioan or Relic, but Daylily and Kazanto would then both be 2nd level.

Tried to xp you for this, but apparently I'm still not spreading the love enough. Thanks.

Just thinking on the fairly miserable amount of xp both me and Qik are short to get to 2nd lvl and also wanting to clear up a doubt that i have about the rules of the system.
Under Pathfinder there is no bonus xp when PCs successfully complete a quest (Quest XP)?
Not even enough to bump us over to 2nd level?
Anyway, just a question and it's not even really a very big issue either way. I just suddenly remembered that when I played 3.5 computer games and such, PCs did gain XP from quests completed. Perhaps my memory is just fuzzy, and this feature may have been specific to computer games, and even if it weren't it may not have carried over to Pathfinder. And ... hehehe... even if it did the time XP could easily replace this quest xp.
Seems like of talked myself out of my own suggestion!

I really do feel bad that you guys are so close to your next level. If I'd done the XP calculations before I told you all it was over, I probably would have trumped up a verbal kerfuffle for you with Parsons or Caan, but I'd already sent you on your way before I realized it.
I feel especially bad since the reason I entertained the notion to try DMing was because my own LPF character had finished an adventure just shy of leveling. I realized having some DM credits available might help me do what IVV just did for Kazanto, compensating for such unfortunate timing.
If it's any consolation, over in Living 4th Edition, I had a character finish an adventure literally 9 XP short of gaining a level, so I definitely feel your pain.
It seems to me that most adventures, though, start with at least a few days of party introductioning / setup, so you might be able to petition your DM / adventure judge to allow for an early time xp award. It doesn't seem especially abusive a request to me.

Most LPF GMs will let you level after your first encounter, so you won't have to go without for very long.
