  • Murai, Sabah Banu, Dominic Holyarm, Carmen Granau, Tim Jolly, and Petrichor accepted the mission from Korfel Goltorrah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to visit the tree housing giant bees and reduce the threat to his community.
  • The Freelancers traveled to Mantzur in 2 days, and stayed the night.  The following morning they spoke to Korfel, who told them the priority is to take out the bee-animated armours patrolling around the giant bee hive.
  • The Freelancers travelled south for 4 days until getting to the tree in question, which they found easily since Sabah knows the area.  Dominic had Bee-opatra, the giant bee he'd befriended, scout the area.  Unnaturally, one giant bee circled above, as if to keep watch.
  • The Freelancers camped, then the next day they went to the big tree while the giant bees had gone foraging.  Murai proposed a plan to use their rope of climbing to snare an animated armour and drag it out of sight from the giant bee circling above.
  • The plan met with some success and one of the armours was separated from the other two.  The Freelancers defeated all three animated armours full of bees, but not before Murai was badly injured.
  • Dominic tried to engage the circling giant bee, but it disappeared and seemed to head northwest.  Carmen learned the honey is enchanted, and Tim took part of the honeycomb.  Petrichor tries to check out the hive, and discovered a Wild elf from Mantzur dead and preserved in the honey.
  • The Freelancers returned to Mantzur with the remains of the dead elf, three battered suits of plate armour, and the honeycomb with enchanted honey.  Korfel held a funeral, after which he paid the mission fee of 100 eagles each, and sent them back to Cliffshadow with a request for another mission to check for any hags in the forest southwest of Mantzur.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Fysitag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
