  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Fine Branch, Tai Ho'onani, Nix Frostshaper, Terrance, and Glesni Bōhatei to Sugar Glider Hang Gliding School to deal with the flying constructs which are hassling the students.  Freelancer help had been requested by Manaja, Headmistress of the school.
  •  The Freelancers used their flying mounts to travel to the hang gliding school, and witnessed an instructor and a pair of students getting hassled by 4 mechanical hawks.
  •  The Freelancers intervened, wrecking 3 of the mechanical hawks and capturing the fourth.  As they did so, the hawks let out a loud call for help, so Fine Branch incapacitated the fourth hawk.
  • While the Freelancers skirmished with the hawks, the instructor and students fled to safety on the Rim.
  • 3 constructs resembling winged golden rams attacked the Freelancers from above.   The Freelancers prevailed, but not before the golden rams revealed they were equipped with flamethrowers, badly injuring Nix, Tai, Fine Branch, and their mounts.
  • Fine Branch, Tai, and Terrance flew to the school buildings to report these events to Manaja, who was surprised and dismayed to hear about the golden rams.  She paid the mission fee of 250 eagles each to Tai to distribute later.
  • Nix and Glesni recovered all the construct parts, by flying low over the area and using detect magic.  The golden rams were large enough to require disassembly and multiple bags of holding.
  • On return to Freelancers Villa, they spread the parts out in a meeting room as they reported to Damakaios.  Alvyn Ricker Nackle was thrilled to examine the parts, which he thought he could use to learn how to make his bear construct, "Arth", fly. He bought the lot for 4650 eagles.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern same day.
