Nate -
Good game and encounters. We made it through the combats pretty quick and employed good tactics.
Let me know how/when to give you money for t-shirts.

Thanks
For the cash, next time I see you is fine (probably at the Con). They are gonna be delivered to Ken's house. I got the email to approve the final artwork yesterday... their artists touched a few things up so the art would make a good screen print, and moved the front art to the other side (since it usually is over the left pocket area instead of right).
Here is what I signed off on:

Nothing like sitting around, watching football, drinking beer and getting caught up on all my D&D record keeping.
I find that I (or rather Torthan) had the treasure list from our epic battle with the frost giant jarl and his abomination son. Here's what I wrote down:
Winter Wolves & Frost Giant Crone
25 blood stones.
2 potions
5 colors, each with 10 blood stones worth 100 gp.
The Interesting Room
Jeweled helm, dwarf-sized - 750 gp
Mastodon Tusk - 350 gp
Warhammer +2
Blue Steel Ring of Warmth
White Dragon Skull
Platinum &*&S! (can't read my handwriting, but it's worth 1500 gp)
The Giants' Treasure
Huge magical great axe +1
Large magical breastplate +1, light fortification
Headband of Intellect +2
Cloak of Resistance +2
Large Boots of Speed
Circlet of Persuasion
Broach of Shielding, 72 charges
3 Potions of Cure Serious Wounds
The Thing's Treasure
3 rings (120 gp)
2 bracelets (250 gp)
1 necklace (1500 gp)
1 tiera (1200 gp)
1 silver collar with blood stones (1000 gp)

Nate -- can you post the XP for this adventure?

I don't think I have it since we used the d20SRD at the table to calculate it. I'll look in the adventure and see what the EL's were for the encounters.

btw, when this adventure happened Torthan was 9th level, but he's now 10th (does a level dance).

I'm pretty sure that the xp from last adventure is figured into Torthan's current level, so don't recalc unless others need it.
I'm levelling Torthan right now, and picking a new third level spell. My present spells are
crushing despair and
slow. Both are good area effect spells, though
slow gets used a lot more than
despair
I'm thinking of a personal spell that helps in combat. First up is
dolorous blow, a bard spell which doubles a weapon's threat range and auto-confirms any criticals. It lasts 1 min/level.
The other is
wounding whispers, which deals 1d6+1 per level sonic damage against those who hit him. I think either spell could work well, though turning Torthan into a living drum may be a little more in-character.
What do you think? Is there a better third level bard spell that would help the party?

Tarien gained 660, 3190, and 660 exp during this session. He's 11th level. So if someone wants to do crazy backwards math to figure out the exp...
The boots of speed. Did we find another pair elsewhere? Or am I wearing the ones from that treasure. Because I have them on. Reguardless they would be Tarien's first pick. (I vaguely remember dividing the treasure out before we moved on...)

Yeah, I think we did because Torthan has the circlet.

Yes, and Xymusont has the Headband of Intellect +2. Some of the items we got had obvious recipients so we divided them at the table.
From memory, I think we assigned the Headband, cloak, circlet and broach of shielding. Maybe the breastplate?

I was given the Breast-Plate with Fortification.
Nate - can I have this further enhanced to +2?

Yup

I think Dolorous Blow is pretty good. You can cast it on other weapons, etc. Although it may not fit the character, I think Unluck (make opponent roll 2d20 and take the lowest roll) would be a great spell. It works for any roll from the opponent.
