{\itshape While all the players are thinking about the next move, the \gls{gm} adds up their \gls{xp}. They defeated 6 hobgoblins and 1 ogre. Hobgoblins and ogres are worth 7 each. There were seven in total, so that means 49 \gls{xp} in total, minus one \gls{xp} per member of the group. The final result is that each character receives 15 \gls{xp} and one more \gls{xp} is left in the pot for later (because 46 cannot evenly be divided by 3). After that, each player wants a little additional \gls{xp} for following their own God or codes.

``Do you think the village on the other side of the mountain is safe to visit?'', asked Thenton with raised eyebrows.
His companions did not really want to hear that question, but they had.
It was impossible to tell from this distance if the hobgoblins had settled there already.
``Ah dinnae ken, laddie''
Hugi is resolved to just enter the next area, stoically, but his player is no stoic.
It is decided that now is the time to expand Hugi's backstory.
He wants a place to rest, he wants more of an idea of what is happening here.
He decides to spend a Story point to specify that a single dwarven outpost has a single person still there.
``Why is just one person in an outpost?'', the \gls{gm} asks.
``Well, it's my cousin.
She was inside at the time. When the scouts returned from watching the side of the mountain, they all got eaten by hobgoblins.
Only after that she managed to escape, helped by the men-dwarves. So she's alone in the outpost''
``So this is a safe space story?'', the \gls{gm} asks.
``No. No I just want to spend one Story point and get someone with a normal place to stay, and knows a little about what's going on, and maybe some knowledge of Medicine''.
Hugi's player marks off a single Story Point and starts telling his story.
``There's an outpost over there'', Hugi remarked.
``It looks mostly like the mountain but you can see a little dark bit that's too straight-cut.
They're little windows.''
Entering the building, Hugi found his cousin, Magda.
Thenton expected them to hug after the ordeal, but Hugi just bowed low.
Apparently he was proud of the honour of gathering news from her on account of their shared blood.
As luck would have it, she was a proficient medic, and helped patch Hugi back up, safely removing the arrow.

Arneson follows the Goddess, Laiqu\"{e}.
He receives 3 additional \gls{xp} because the hobgoblins are particularly hated enemies for him - followers of Laiqu\"{e} believe they are either unnatural, or that their presence in the human realm is unnatural.

The band took only a couple of hours before they set off again, hoping to find that village, somewhere beyond the mist. What had happened to that bard, they could only guess, but there seemed little chance of finding him in that village.
