  • Dryali Tezbeth and Tahu Tuala took a mission to scout out the locations of the grblins who had been raiding travellers near Marshfork.  
  • The full Freelancers contract, from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, was to eliminate the grblins, and others would join Dryali and Tahu.
  • Travel to Marshfork was without incident, and after syncing up with the Mayor, Dryali and Tahu found the grblins' forward camp on their second day of scouting along Big Brother river.
  • After following a road leading north from the camp for a couple days, Tahu and Dryali discovered a tree and a gully hiding a cave system which, from the wolf tracks, they concluded was likely the grblins' base.  
  • Dryali and Tahu returned to Marshfork on the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday with this information, and collected their fee of 100 eagles each from the Mayor of Marshfork.
  • On Fysitag, last prime post-Tumultuous, Meurig departed on hippogryph for Marshfork to join Dryali and Tahu.  He got lost around Three Rivers and did not arrive until the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday.
  • Also on Fysitag, last prime post-Tumultuous, Kaikoa, Manu, and Kalleth Ebonygrit set out along the road to join Tahu and Dryali.  They arrived in Three Rivers on the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday.

 

  • Meurig, Dryali, and Tahu went back to the grblin forward camp from Marshfork the day after the Fulcrum Holiday to find 5 wolves and 6 grblins.  They waited for a raiding squad to leave, then slew the wolf and 2 grblins who remained.  
    • Acquired: 45 eagles, 21 cats, 70 pebbles, 1 citrine, 2 jasper, 1 quartz, 1 sardonyx, 1 star rose quartz, 3 Healing Potions, 1 Greater Healing Potion, 1 Potion of Climbing 
  • Dryali, Tahu, and Meurig laid in wait for the returning raiders and slew 4 grblins and 4 wolves.  They burned the bodies.   
    • Acquired: 12 eagles, 9 cats, 23 pebbles, 6 scimitars and 6 short bows in worn condition.
  • Tahu, Meurig, and Dryali traveled to the tree and gully scouted before.  Meurig scouted the area from his hippogryph to discover 2 guards, and more info about the lay of the land, in particular no other entrances to the cave.
  • Meurig departed for Marshfork, taking the worn weapons to sell.  Tahu and Dryali stayed near the tree to keep watch.
  • Meurig arrived in Marshfork the next day, and collected their fee of 150 eagles each from Casimir Lightforger.  Meurig sold off the worn weapons for 100 eagles, then met with Kaikoa, Manu, and Kalleth to brief them on the situation and to send them forward to Dryali and Tahu.

 

  • Kalleth, Kaikoa, and Manu travelled to the tree and gully to meet up with the waiting Dryali and Tahu.  Meurig departed for Cliffshadow.
  • The Freelancers' plan to dispatch the grblin sentries quietly resulted in a big fight against 2 grblins and 10 wolves, all of which they slaughtered.
  • The Freelancers explored the cave leading downward from the tree to find the cave where the wolves were stabled.  They crossed the gully on a bridge and fought a dozen grblins, killing them all, but taking injuries.
  • After healing up, the Freelancers found the grblins' treasure room and looted it.
    • Acquired:  170 eagles, 200 cats, 2500 pebbles, 2 chalcedony, 2 chrysoprase, 1 diamond, 1 moonstone, 1 quartz, 1 sardonyx, 1 zircon, Sentinel shield, +1 flail, +1 shortsword, ring of water walking, 2 Healing Potions, 1 Potion of Fire giant strength, 1 scroll of bless, and 6 incubating golden eagle gryphon eggs.
