  • Tai Ho'onani, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Ondar Thundercaller, Nix Frostshaper, Timmy, and Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra accepted a mission from Kaiea Tihani, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to investigate the origin of the skeletons found in the Wendehals mausoleum.
  • The Freelancers visited the Academy of Magic, inquiring of any unusual student activity related to necromancy.  They discovered Roberto Wendehals had actually engaged with Darag, one of the instructors, to learn necromancy, ostensibly to reduce costs of his carting business.
  • The Freelancers visited the Hall of Records to find out more about the Wendehals and Roberto in particular.  They learned that Roberto had died a year previously, with no heirs, but had been in the company of an elegant lady for some time before his death.
  • The Freelancers revisited the Wendehals mausoleum in the Parkside cemetery to confirm his internment.  They found Roberto's grave clearly marked therein, but it was empty
  • By opening the sarcophagus, the Freelancers triggered a glyph of warding, and revived the 6 skeletons from the prior visit, which they fought and defeated.
  • The Freelancers examined Roberto's empty sarcophagus, which appeared unused by any corpse, and found a secret cache with coins worth 353 eagles, and a mysterious map.
  • The Freelancers informed the Mayor, who accepted the map, but declined the gold.  He paid them their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern same day.
Loot
  • Coin:  353 eagles
