Day... Oh Fuck It
Okay, you search the town. Imagine an empty village, bereft of people, gold, and magic items. For instance, you can find a loaf of stale bread, a checkers set, and a broadsword. You can leave Grito and explore as far as you desire. It seems you can walk to Durth and back. Durth too is an empty stage prop. Then you go 'home' and play Magic by yourself.
You get 0 xp for playing Magic by yourself and for searching the town. Maybe that's your problem. Actually, the xp problem is easy to solve. You want xp, go adventure. That is, kill stuff and try to change the world. Watching TiVo with Gregolas, e.g., is a poor source of xp. I am guilt-free about this one though guys.
