Non Battle Encounter Breakdown:
This was a pure conversion of the Skulls and Shackles Pathfinder adventure path, PDF seen here
Prequel day 0 had a cutscene ending pre-planned, Miri could never have escaped being drugged in some way shape or form
Day 1 - Skill challenge to see what position Miri would have on the ship. She did not come in first as the rigger, her original choice and therefore did not win the single open position of rigger, she was able to choose cook's mate or scrub. Chose cook's mate. All positions, though unknown at the time, gave certain advantages or disadvantages later down the line. A rigger would have let her travel the entire length of the ship via ropes in double movement. Scrub would have had her have advantage to any stealth roll on top deck. Cook's mate allowed for access to more equipment and resources.
Also had evening skill rolls to potentially be flogged, not be affected by a drugged rum ration, and was able to start building NPC relationships. At this point there was a record of Miri's standing with each and every NPC on the ship. There were 18 I believe NPCs. It was gonna be awesome. Overall these Nighttime and Daytime activities would have been RPed out, by I was gone for a month due to moving, and the planned events for the middle of this adventure took a hit for it. The daily tasks were based on a 1d6 roll as seen in the PDF of the Wormwood Mutiny.
To make up for lost time we skipped two weeks where weather would have had an effect on the RP and rolls and skimmed through it.
I would round to suggest about 200 exp awarded for all non-battle RP, skill rolls, and scenarios.
The battle on the Bear's Throat had the following battle encounters:
(1) CR 2ish npc named Cogward: Killed 450 exp
Cogsworth - 27hp
AC - 15 Dex +3, studded +2
+3 attack 1d6+3 damage
Multiattack
(2) CR 1/2 Thugs (used DnD's thug statblock). Both killed 100 exp for 200 exp total
(1) Converted from Pathfinder to 5e, I would label him more to CR 3 or 4 due to being a full on 4 levels of 2 two-weapon master fighter and 2 rogue.
A lvl 4 Master of Arms, Scourge.Stat block here Note Scourge's stat block incorrectly has the Devilfish bite attack in it - that's not actually part of Scourge's roster of abilities.
Miri did not kill Scourge, but she did bring him to a point of not following her as well as preventing him from killing an allied NPC, Kroop. I would award half experience, as she nearly died to it but used her luck points very strategically to overcome this obstacle. Half would be between 700-1,200/2 so 450-600 exp as you see fit.
Overall I had Miri level to level 4 for the ship battle so she could actually fight things. She gained these levels from her solo writing and the word count she had up until that point.
Total EXP proposed to Miri: 2,485 gold and 2,485+200+450+200=3,335 + Scourge exp? Miri starting exp 2,660 -> ? ? ?
Total EXP for Ari: 3,042 gold and exp plus DM voucher. Exp and gold to Gigi please 2,830 -> 5,872exp. Gold 540 ->3,370
