  • Terrance, Tuala, Fine Branch, and Dryali Tezbeth accepted the mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to remove the Hag causing them problems.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Mantzur without incident.  The next day Terrance and Tuala led the others to where they'd fought the dryads and needleblights three primes earlier.
  • Investigation showed unnatural mushrooms growing on the dead needleblights, and Fine Branch took samples. That evening, a wolf stalked their camp, but acted unnaturally.
  • The Freelancers tracked the wolf to a small, gloomy valley with a well-maintained path leading to a cottage at the far end.  They took an off-path approach to this cottage.  Dryali observed the cottage garden was full of poisonous herbs.
  • Fine Branch drew the cottage inhabitant outside by a ruse: pretending to be a Daystar cultist.  Despite an illusion, Fine Branch determined it was the hag.
  • The Freelancers attacked the hag, who called for assistance from 5 awakened shrubberies with graspy vines.  The Freelancers prevailed and slew all foes, but not without injuries and indignities.  Fine Branch took the hag's head as proof of her demise.
  • The Freelancers searched the cottage before burning the entire thing to the ground.  Fine Branch gathered tchotchkes that appeared to have sentimental value to others in the hope Korfel would be able to return them.
    • Acquired:  a ring of swimming, a broom of flying, an Immovable Rod, and various coin worth 235 eagles.
  • Upon presentation of the hag's head, Korfel paid the Freelancers their fee of 150 eagles each.  He inspected the mushroom samples and declared them "extra" poisonous.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Petraag, 1st prime post-Planting.
