- Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Dominic Holyarm, Minji, Murai, Mia Taumata, and Manu were sent on a mission from Mayor Kaiea Tihani of Cliffshadow to visit the wizard Gwidion in the Northridge Mountains, and confirm he was not continuing to pollute the Pirates River.
- The Freelancers took flying mounts and travelled to Pirates Dream river along the treeline without incident, arriving in the afternoon of the Contemplation of Calm.
- From there the Freelancers flew upriver, keeping watch for mutated wildlife, but were still on Pirates Dream when they encountered swarms of froggoths. The swarm concentrated the hallucinatory effects, but the Freelancers slew them and took samples to display for the wizard.
- After camping overnight, the Freelancers arrived at Gwidion's Tower the afternoon of the following day. They scouted the area and confirmed slight traces of magic mixed in the water, but did not see any brightly coloured effluent.
- The Freelancers knocked on the door of the tower, and announced themselves. Gwidion spoke with them, revealing he'd contracted with an artificer, Futsu Blackrind, to create a purifying device for the effluent.
- An argument ensued, in which the Freelancers disbelieved the efficacy of the machine. Gwidion offered to provide them with an "extreme shrinking" potion, which they could use to examine the machine from the inside. The Freelancers trusted this proposal even less.
- Eventually an agreement was reached, in which Blackrind also went with the Freelancers, and the potion would be adjusted to prevent problems returning to normal size.
- The following day Gwidion turned off the machines, and the Freelancers and Blackrind took the potion and entered the purifier machine via a drainage pipe.
- The Freelancers and Blackrind encountered various hazards one might expect in a drainpipe. Once they were in the machine, on Blackrind's suggestion they headed to the machine exit to see if it was overspilling.
- The Freelancers found a creature had mutated and created its own domicile in the machine egress, so of course it had been overspilling. They slew the creature and spent the rest of the day clearing the exit.
- Once finished they inspected another machine for damaged filters, but concluded Blackrind could do that once normal size.
- The Freelancers returned to normal size and reported their results to Gwidion. With Blackrind and Gwidion, they drew up another contract to revisit for overspill once an eighth.
- The next morning Gwidion, pleased at dispatching the last of the pollution problems, gifted the Freelancers with potions before they took their leave.
- Lorcan, elixir of health & potion of stone giant's strength; Dominic, potion of heroism & potion of mind reading; Murai, potion of divination & potion of mind reading; Minji, potion of stone giant's strength & superior healing potion; Manu, potion of clairvoyance & superior healing potion; Mia, potion of divination & superior healing potion.
- On arrival in Cliffshadow, the Freelancers reported these events to Arnari Rilynn’sithek, and delivered to her the new contract. She paid them 225 eagles each for the mission and 50 eagles each for the finder's fee.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Petraag, 1st prime post-Calm.
