- Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, assigned Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Nix Frostshaper, and Kaikoa to track down the individual apparently responsible for the deaths of several monks at the Tranquil Crossing Monastery. Freelancer help had been requested by High Abbot Grigorio.
- The Freelancers flew to Tranquil Crossing, arriving mid-day. They confirmed with the high abbot and one of the monks that no more deaths had occurred. After asking about nearby settlements, they departed towards the south & east.
- After a couple hours the Freelancers located some herds under the watchful eyes of hobgoblins on horseback. From them, they learned that the hobgoblins' village, Krowa, had been afflicted by a strange malaise that worsened at night.
- The Freelancers followed a herdsman to Krowa. The headwoman, Rek, explained that they'd had deaths and allowed Fine Branch to examine one of the sick villagers. Ana cast detect magic and sensed necromatic energy on the ill hobgoblins.
- Fine Branch cast divination to consult directly with The Cat, who informed her the "Silver Scion" is responsible for these deaths. Fine Branch and Nix then used augury to determine the correct direction to search.
- The evening was nigh, so Cathance and Ana urged the Freelancers to stay and not search, reasoning the source of the sickness would come to Krowa. The Freelancers followed their advice and sure enough, shadows arrived in the middle of the night.
- After a brief fight, the Freelancers destroyed the shadows, but a Silver dragonborn on a peregrine gryphon shot arrows from above. The fight woke up the village, and the Freelancers explained their discoveries.
- Since the gryphon was too fast to pursue, Ana cast invisibility on her familiar Hawkie to chase this miscreant. Hawkie pursued the knight until spotted and then was taken out by a wild hippogryph.
- The Freelancers kept watch in Krowa an extra night. The shadows did not return, and the sick villagers recovered, so the Freelancers departed.
- The Freelancers flew to where Hawkie left off pursuit, searching and failing to find any clues. They returned to Tranquil Crossing, and Grigorio paid their mission fee of 250 eagles each.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Cat.
