Session 62 - I'm gonna swing from the chandelier

So it turns out robbing rich people's houses makes you some pretty decent scratch!

And exp, basically everyone leveled up except for John Doe at the tippy-top.

Bear in mind that you only get exp for goods taken from adventure locations, and this horrible house definitely counts as an adventure location. You can totally try to rob non-adventure-locale houses, but most likely won't get exp for anything you loot unless there's some sort of risk to life, limb and/or soul involved.
Also on that front - there's a limit of one level-up per session, just so's you know, but you can get around that limit with Downtime Activities like Carousing.

This Bloodworth Estate place is legitimately the most gruesome adventure I own, so I'm stoked that it ended on such a cliffhanger. What happened here?!

Also - big thank you to David for running an overflow game! And thanks for heading out to grab your stuff from your house! It's good to have a fallback in case of overwhelming demand.

I don't know whether you want to keep it as an overflow game or make it more permanent over time or something, but I'll leave that decision in your capable hands.

And to the newbies who played in said overflow game - I've added you to this D&D mailing list thing in case we don't need an overflow game next time. I'll have your sheets with me anyway!
