Alright we have been looking at the dates. It appears maybe I skipped 2 years out of the blue during a chapter start at one point. If anyone has the energy to check date and travel times, please do.

However I think, wbw pointed out correctly it should be 2955 not 2957 Not sure if it really makes any real different in the long run, but if anyone had an issue with the year we can make some corrections either way.

Thoughts?

No, it's not a big deal. BB had just asked how long in game time we had been adventuring and I noticed the discrepancy. It appears just over a year in game time and 3 years in real time.

I'll go through it to see if there is a jump, but I don't have any problem if our campaign starts 2957 instead of 55 (55 is what I had in my head, too).

You wrote in one of the opening posts that we'd start between 51 - 57 I think.

Thanks for checking that out, Wb.

And speaking of a year in game time... Elrond's going to wonder what HAPPENED to everyone. All the events in the Hobbit took only 1 year, hah.

Yeah but Gandalf was with them for a good bit of it, if you had a Wizard guiding you'd be moving along pretty good!

I'll check the RotN book and sort out the time based on what they suggest for opening times.

Sounds good to me!

Yeah, and technically we spent a LOT of time in one place (Tharbad), and traveled perhaps as far as they did in the Hobbit.

"All adventures are notionally set in the years after 2954, and take place in eastern Eriador, but none are strongly tied to a date so you can move them earlier or later, depending on the needs of your campaign."

So let's just say its 2957, and the starting dates of the preludes and such were a bit off. Its easier I think to do it that way.

Wait no, that ruins all my plans for my character and everything.

Just kidding. That works for me.

I spent my XP and AP. I'm pretty sure that I didn't overspend. We got 12 XP and 24 AP, correct?

My advancement was to increase both Wisdom and Vaour, gaining "Champion of the Hillman" and "Keen". I then increased Insight, Lore, and Riddle all from 2 to 3 (I was able to afford this due to the reduction from Champion of the Hillman).

I am spending 10 XP to raise my Bow skill to 4 and then 6 XP to add the quality Keen to my bow. I am spending 12 AP to raise Travel to 3 and 9 AP to raise Healing to 3.
