  • Fine Branch, Terrance, Cathance Lobdhain, Hikawera, and Kaelani accepted a mission from Taleisin of the Orderly Stones Monastery to check the caves that had held kobolds a year ago and confirm it was still unoccupied.
  • The Freelancers took most of the day to get to the kobold den, and found it seemingly abandoned.
  • Hikawera checked the entrance and found a small secret passage not reported from the prior mission.  Cathance explored the passage to find it led to the room of the big battle.
  • A found chest in the big room was actually a mimic, and the Freelancers battled both it and the shadows left behind by the fleeing kobolds.  Cathance's wild magic summoned a modron, and Terrance slew it once it attacked the Freelancers.
  • Cathance and Terrance led the others back through the passages of the den.  They entered a chamber blocked by a cave in, and inhabited by three carrion crawlers, which the Freelancers slew.
  • The Freelancers backtracked to the entrance, and advanced to a chamber containing the statue of The Snake, restored.  Fine Branch's spirit guardian cats decimated the stirges which had taken up residence therein.
  • After Terrance disarmed the trapped statue, the Freelancers looted the coin & items on the altar to the Snake.  Hikawera used shatter until the statue was smashed.
    • Acquired:  18 eagles, 362 cats, 232 pebbles,  stone of good luck, mask of the snake, armband of the luddite.  
  • The Freelancers returned to Orderly Stones Monastery the next day, and presented Talesin with the mask of the snake.  By the following morning he determined it was cursed, but paid 500 eagles for it.
  • Hikawera realized the armband of the luddite was also cursed but had already attuned to it, so Fine Branch used remove curse to remove the attunement, and they sold it to the monks also.
  • The Freelancers collected their fee of 200 eagles from Taleisin and left for Cliffshadow.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, last prime post-Periastron.
