  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Dryali Tesbeth and Fine Branch to investigate and track down the perpetrators of thefts against House Grayaere.  Freelancer help had been requested by Mael Grayaere, my uncle and Head of House.
  • Dryali and Fine Branch visited Grayaere Villa, and consulted with Mael and his daughter Doria.  They learned that imprinter parts had been going missing in the last 3 shipments, and with a 4th shipment imminent, Mael wanted to learn who was behind the thefts.
  • With Doria's help, Fine Branch and Dryali interrogated the guards for this 4th shipment, to discover a guard, Big Max, had been taking the parts and dead dropping them for coin.
  • Doria used modify memory on Big Max so he would forget he'd been exposed, while Dryal and Fine Branch conducted a security inspection of the grounds.  On their advice, Doria emplaced a part for Big Max to steal that could be tracked by locate object.
  • Big Max stole the part as intended and dropped it off.  The drop location was staked out by a disguised Fine Branch and Dryali.
  • A Cloud elf rogue picked up the imprinter part and was trailed by Dryali and Fine Branch.  Of course they were spotted because Dryali isn't very good at that.
  • The Cloud elf shot Dryali in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt.  An argument and a fight ensued in which Fine Branch and Dryali eventually knocked out the Cloud elf.
  • Unsure how else to proceed, the Freelancers took her to Carnivale for interrogation assistance.  During the interrogation they learned her name was Valencia, she was in the Thieves Guild, and Jenzabar had recommended her for this job.  She was also to dead drop the imprinter part, and she suspected the employer was House Demazo.
  • The Freelancers then let Valencia go, but retained her coin:  161 eagles, 100 of which was paid to Carnivale for their assistance.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern in the wee hours Petraag, 3rd prime post-Harvest, at which time Damakaios paid them their fee of 225 eagles.
  • The following morning, Fine Branch and Dryali returned to Grayaere Villa to report their findings personally.  Fine Branch used remove curse to restore Big Max's memory, and then Doria kicked his thieving ass out.
