I wrote yesterday about the ongoing adventures of Aury and Mattie in the Scarlet Horizons setting. I ran that battle with the hunting party of a dozen lizardmen. Jasyn the dungeoneer naturally gave a good accounting of himself. He is, after all, an expert whom the PCs are paying handsomely to guide them to the Barrowmaze and, once there, through it.

It really is robbery, what Brother Jasyn is charging the two Seekers — not the 3 chroma per day: his expertise is worth that. But seven additional chroma for any day on which he sustains injury, and another seven if he must engage in combat.

Still, if this dungeoneer proves equal to his reputation, he'll be well worth the expense. Brother Jasyn sucked up 60% of the experience gained from the lizardmen encounter, but this proportion will shift, because the Seekers will level up more quickly than he will. Besides, his presence prevented the Seekers from significantly more serious injury.

You could read about this particular encounter, but if you haven't been following the story, you'd likely be better off starting at the beginning.
