  • New Freelancers Tai Ho'onani and Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana} joined Fine Branch, Quelenna, Cathance Lobdhain, Terrance, and Osric Torunn on a mission for Sinéad Willowsteal, Mayor of Cliffgate, to travel to the farming hamlet Ophelia, and rectify an unknown problem with ploughing fields.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Cliffgate without incident.  The following morning they visited Mayor Sinéad, who informed them she too lacked details, but the farm in question was run by Routh & Embu Girikima.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Ophelia without incident, and found Routh Girikima in short order.  She explained that the field would react to a ploughblade as if it was rock and directed them to the field in question.
  • The Freelancers spoke to Embu Girikima, and investigated the torn-up field.  Osric used heat metal on a shovel to provoke six small earth elementals into showing themselves.
  • After an unfriendly exchange between Fine Branch and the earth elementals, the Freelancers began battle.  The battle drew in a full earth elemental to defend their claim to the field.  In the end the Freelancers prevailed, destroying the elementals.
    • Acquired:  10 small gems worth 10 eagles each, one earth elemental gem
  • With the demise of the earth elementals, Embu had no problem ploughing his fields and sent the Freelancers back to Mayor Sinéad with a full accounting of the tale.  The Mayor paid their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow Fysitag, 2nd prime post-Cat.
