  • Mia Taumata, Murai, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Manu, and Ka Kekoa accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
  • The Freelancers cut cross-country in unpleasant weather, arriving in two days without incident at the north end of Mossey Lake.
  • After searching up the river for a day, the Freelancers found unnatural tracks that appeared to be a cross between a dire wolf and a giant elk.  They followed the tracks until Lorcan's blowgun of warning foiled an ambush.
  • The Freelancers fought two carnivorous "pseudo-elk" which were fast and had a third-eye that frightened the winged bears.  Nonetheless, the Freelancers prevailed and slew the creatures.
  • Investigation of the corpses revealed the mutations came while the creatures were young, not in the womb.
  • The Freelancers decided to harvest what they could, and also bring one of the heads back to Cliffshadow.
  • Arnari Rilynn'sithek, leader of the Cliffshadow Freelancers, was impressed by the head and has decided to mount it.  She paid the Freelancers 90 eagles each for the mission and an uncommon potion each: potion of lightning resistance (Ka), philter of love (Lorcan), potion of growth (Mia), potion of hill giant strength (Murai), potion of water breathing (Manu).
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Fysitag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.
