- Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Dryali Tezbeth, Ondar Thundercaller, Nix Frostshaper, Tai Ho'onani, and Quelenna to backtrack the clockwork owlbear that had been attacking Bati Kasabasi. Freelancer help had been requested by Mayor Thruxl of Bati Kasabasi.
- The Freelancers flew to Bati Kasabasi to check in with Thruxl, who was disappointed at how long it had taken Freelancers to followup on this mission. He confirmed for them no further attacks had taken place, and the Freelancers promised to recover stolen goods if they could.
- After overnighting in Bati Kasabasi, the Freelancers easily relocated the cave opening used by the owlbear construct, and entered the cave system under the western Rim.
- The Freelancers followed the signs of the owlbear constructs for three days, after which they encountered signs of ancient dwarven ruins, and the path splitting many ways.
- Nix sent her familiar Mercury to investigate ahead, to determine the most useful way. Mercury quickly discovered 3 plate-armour constructs similar to those plaguing the Vathia Estia Tunnels last year, as well as apparent piles of supplies; but no sign of any owlbear constructs.
- The Freelancers prepared for combat, then Dryali cast shatter on one of the constructs. The Freelancers quickly dispatched two of them.
- The melee grew more interesting when the wayward owlbear construct joined, and two mechanical ants attacked from under the floor. A punch golem burst out of the wall, attacking Tai and Quelenna and gravely injuring the latter.
- Ondar administered a potion to heal Quelenna and the Freelancers defeated the constructs. They quickly determined the apparent supplies were a ruse intended to trap the unwary and trigger attacks.
- The Freelancers gathered the construct parts and returned to Bati Kasabasi in 3 days' time, whereupon the Mayor paid their mission fee of 250 eagles.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern on Nemostag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.
