So recently my players took a long ship ride to another city. Along the way I had created a kraken attack encounter with a kraken not exactly like the one in the book. I had them attacking tentacles as it tried to squeeze the ship and break it. A secret counter for how many hits the ship could take, and the crew manning the controls of the ship during the rain, hail and lightning from the storm. All the ships crew was unable to really fight as they kept the ship balanced and if too many of them lost their positions it would be harder for them to remain on the ship without requiring checks to keep balance and not fall off and into the water.
The encounter went better than I expected. The warlock managing to banish it twice and allow time for crew to get healed and recover before continuing the battle again. All in all not a single crew member died though there were a few close calls. I was totalling damage done to tentacles and they did a total of 514 damage before managing to sever a tentacle and drive the creature off.
I however am trying to calculate experience for this 4 person party of level 7 characters. What are some community thoughts on how much experience this may be worth as a total which would then be split 4 ways?
It was a long a grueling fight even though the players did manage pretty well. The ship took 5 of 10 hits that left it taking in water but not unable to continue floating, which was then repaired enough during the last 6 days of the trip to manage.
