XP Calculations

1. Set traps, followed tracks - 100xp / 2 (Joseph and Death Striker) = 50xp
2. 2x Hawks - 1/3 XP because ran away = 100xp
3. "Defeated" Svirthneble in his hole with a Kobold Zombie - 1/2 because Joseph present = 150xp
4. Battled 2x Orcs in the Gnome Village, halved because Joseph helped = 150xp
5. Tracked orcs = 50xp
6. Battle Rikar + single Orc - 450xp 1/3rd because Svirthnible and Joseph helping = 150xp

Total XP = 650xp

Treasure Calculations

1. 2x Orcs in the Gnome Village - 90gp, but it would all be back at their lair

Adventure 2

Orc Encampment – Rikar's Lair

You spend most of the night tracking the orcs, leading you to the foothills of the mountains by mid-morning. You leave the trees behind as you climb, the ground becoming too stony for anything to take root – save for a few stunted bushes scattered on the leeward sides of the slopes, protected from the Icey wind whipping down from the peaks. The blasts of cold howl and groan as they snake through the gullies, drowning out all sound with a low, constant roar in your ears. The weather is otherwise clear. As you reach the top of the next rise, you easily spy a cave below. The ground in front is well-worn and trampled, though there are no more obvious signs of occupation. From this angle you cannot see more than 15 feet through the entrance, but it appears as a cave should, with stalagmites and stalactites.

Map of Rikar's Lair

Here, the player will fight Rikar and his Dire Rat, Duk. He will ride the rat in combat once the players enter the cave. If the players make too much noise outside, he hill charge into battle atop the rat.

Encounter

Theres's Rikar and Duk plus however many orcs make it look challenging.
