Session 58 - Alchemical Romance

Kind of a low exp session today, but at least you got a fair whack of cash!

So you all know, while looting is the primary source of experience in this game, you don't get exp for currency obtained from rewards (like this alchemist). You only get it for the value of loot taken from dangerous locales.

For new people - I tried my best but it's likely I've assigned people to the wrong character in the thing below. I apologise! There were so many of you!

If I got something wrong, definitely let me know so I can fix it for next time!
