  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, and Quelenna to Flaxton, which had been having trouble with something in the lake interfering with the production and growing of rice & flax.  Freelancer help had been requested by Iamos Broadtongue, Mayor of Flaxton.
  • The Freelancers opted to fly down to Flaxton, with Quelenna riding pillion on Fine Branch's hippogryph Nighthawk, and Dryali hang gliding from the edge of the Rim.  Despite some close calls because of Dryali's inexperience, they arrived at Flaxton that evening.
  • Upon arrival, Dryali and Quelenna checked in with the Mayor, and Fine Branch asked around Flaxton.  They learned that two people had been missing from near the Moana's Eye lakeshore for quite some time.
  • The next day, the Freelancers went to where the fieldhands had gone missing and discovered a giant crocodile, which attacked them.  During the fight, Quelenna jumped on top of the creature, and Fine Branch suggested they capture it for her mount.
  • After the Freelancers knocked it out, Fine Branch flew back to Flaxton and returned with mule tack & leather, which Dryali altered to be suitable for controlling the crocodile.  The Freelancers then escorted Quelenna, riding the crocodile, to the outskirts of Flaxton, and collected their fee of 250 eagles each.
  • The Freelancers, confident in their plan for controlling the crocodile, walked from Flaxton to Ripa Daneo via the Vathia Estia Tunnels.  Travel took five days and they arrived without incident, surprisingly, beyond.
  • Upon arrival, Quelenna persuades Glim Fibblestib Maekkelferce Murnig, gryphon master, to house the giant crocodile  in the Freelancers gryphon stables, before reporting to Damakaios and paying the 25-eagle Freelancers' Cut.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Fysitag, first prime post-Calm.

  • Mission Pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)
