  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, and Tai Ho'onani to the Garuda town of Kavali to determine why plants are attacking young Garuda.  Freelancer help had been requested by Sokullu, the Garuda leader in Kavali.
  • The Freelancers flew southwest to Kavali without incident, arriving late afternoon. The town guard admitted them and gave them directions to the inn and Sokullu.
  • The Freelancers learned from Sokullu that the attacking plants were ambulatory poisonous vines.  They interviewed a Wind sagani and two garuda who were attacked by the vines to learn more details and also where to go.
  • The following day, The Freelancers found three of these ambulatory vines near an old tree.  When they attacked the vines, a mysterious green lady emerged from the tree and joined the fight.
  • When the Freelancers defeated the green lady, a vine tried to revive her with the tree, forcing the Freelancers to destroy her and the tree.
  • The Freelancers did what investigation they could while Fine Branch's spirit guardians destroyed the tree.  In the end they discovered magic items entangled in its roots.
  • The Freelancers returned to Kavali and Sokullu paid their fee of 250 eagles each.  They decided to purchase 5 casks of Kavali's excellent mead for Freelancers Tavern for 50 eagles each, which I am drinking right now.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Oriotag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Coin:  assorted stars, eagles, cats worth 872 eagles
  • eyes of the eagle - Fine Branch
  • quiver of Ehlonna - Tai
  • gem of brightness - Cathance
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Tahu Tuala, Hikawera,  Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Tai Ho'onani, and Quelenna to skylith Leander to help the Redwind centaur tribe determine what was preying on their herds.  Freelancer help had been requested by Kleio, leader of the Redwind tribe.
  • The Freelancers took passage to skylith Leander on the Mallory, captained by the half-elf Shamoun.  They arrived after 5 days' travel in Hoiho, Leander's seasonal festival town.
  • The Freelancers quickly located the Redwind encampment and spoke to Kleio, their leader, about the predations on their horse herds.  
  • The Redwind herds were 3 days' travel northwest of Hoiho and Kleio deputized Mnestra, a herd guard, as their guide.  She also loaned three horses, for Dryali, Tahu, and Quelenna.
  • The Freelancers travelled to the Redwind horse herds, where another attack had recently occurred.  The slain horse was clearly culled by vicious but unfamiliar predators.
  • Ana speculated the predators had been staying within the herd, so the Freelancers with flying mounts scouted over the herds for signs of unusual behaviour.  They quickly spotted "horses" which were not horses, but predators.
  • The herd guards separated the actual horses from these horse "horrors" as well as they could, and the Freelancers fought and slew seven such creatures, but not before Tai was gravely wounded.  Tahu and Quelenna were also badly injured.
  • Ana and Dryali also caused a stampede by casting four shatters.  Tahu patched everyone up while the Redwind centaurs tried to quell the stampede.
  • The herd guards were happy to have the predators removed, but unpleased at the horses injured and dead from the stampede. 
  • After overnighting with the guards, the Freelancers returned to Hoiho, and Kleio paid 300 eagles each for the mission.  They secured return passage departing the next day on the Lamberton, captained by the half-elf Tele.
  • Upon arrival at Freelancers Tavern, the group paid the Freelancers Cut to Damakaios.  Tai and Fine Branch presented casks of koumiss as their exotic alcohol.  Koumiss is an acquired taste that none of us wish to acquire, so Damakaios put it in the front of the tavern.
  • Returned to Freelancer Tavern Fysitag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  300 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Terrance, Tuala, and Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana} to investigate who cursed House Hadid's tree at the Garden Party after the Planting Holiday.  Freelancer help had been requested by Yolanda Hadid.
  • The Freelancers visited the Hadid Villa and spoke to head retainer Ingham and a gardener, Garriel.  They learned the supplier of the assassin vines was a shop of good repute called the Green Grove.
  • Naturally, the Freelancers next visited the Green Grove.  Fine Branch cast detect magic right before they entered the shop, but detected nothing unusual.  They spoke to the proprietor, a firbolg named Natik, but did not mention the Hadid Garden Party.  Instead they suggested they need an unusual plant for a prank on Damakaios, and Natik suggested they talk to his human assistant, Amarosa.
  • The Freelancers entered the Green Grove's back greenhouse to discover two assassin vines and an unrepentant Amarosa.  However Dryali persuaded her to tell them who arranged it all.  While Amarosa's story involved The Manticores, Fine Branch and Terrance recognized the factor as Taras of House Veltruska.
  • Upon their return to Freelancers Tavern, Damakaios was happy to learn they didn't end up in a brawl, but unpleased at this scheme they uncovered.  If they are not realized it was House Veltruska would have caused the Freelancers and House Lykaion  trouble, not just House Hadid and The Manticores.
  • Damakaios paid out their fee of 270 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern same day.

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, convinced Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, and Terrance to take the mission from House Amabel to start culling the fauna from that harpy-infested villa they purchased, to increase its habitability.
  • The three Freelancers walked over to the villa and immediately tangled with four harpies.  Dryali and Terrance were charmed, but Fine Branch acted immediately to snap them out of it.
  • They slew two of the harpies, but the others withdrew to the villa atrium.
  • With the harpies out of the way, the Freelancers flew over the villa's atrium.  They spotted no harpies, but did see an overgrown garden, replete with piles of bones and shark teeth.  They heard as many as 4 more harpies.
  • The Freelancers returned, maybe an hour after they left, and reported their findings to Damakaios.  He took notes, of course; and paid them 225 eagles, their fee minus the Freelancers Cut.

  • Mission pay:  250 eagles (10% to Freelancers)
