  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Cathance Lobdhain, Terrance, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Nix Frostshaper, Quelenna, and Kaikoa to stop reported owlbear constructs from disrupting fur production in the Commonweal town of Bati Kasabasi.  Freelancer help had been requested by Thruxl, the komodo Mayor of Bati Kasabasi.
  • The Freelancers took a full day to fly to Bati Kasabasi.  Travel was mostly without incident, although a lightning bolt startled some mounts.
  • Once arrived, the Freelancers took rooms at the local inn.  During dinner, Kaikoa bought a round of drinks for the house, upon which they learned from other tavern patrons about the looting clockwork owlbears that bothered the townspeople.
  • The following day, the Freelancers met with the Mayor, Thruxl, who had no further information than the tavern patrons.
  • The Freelancers consulted with the warehouse manager, Ukokhria, and got details of the attacks.  With her, they prepared a pit trap, as well as a bait for one of the owlbears to steal, so they can track it back to its origin.
  • Three clockwork owlbears arrived that day, and the Freelancers destroyed two.  They let the third one grab the bait so it could be followed.
  • The Freelancers took the afternoon to follow the remaining clockwork owlbear to a cave at the base of the western Rim.  They noted the location carefully for later and returned to Bati Kasabasi.
  • Investigation of the two destroyed owlbear constructs revealed they were from the same maker as the constructs that had been attacking caravans in the Vathia Estia Tunnels.  The Freelancers took the parts to examine upon return.
  • Thruxl paid the Freelancers their fee of 250 eagles each, but was unhappy they'd let one of the owlbears go.  He sent the Freelancers back to Ripa Daneo with a request for a followup mission.
  • Upon return the Freelancers consulted Alvyn Ricker Nackle, who confirmed the constructs are all from the same maker.  Alvyn paid them 900 eagles for the parts, and Damakaios was pleased to have gotten a lead on this mysterious constructs business.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, 2nd prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Materials: assorted construct parts worth 900 eagles
