  • Ondar Thundercaller, Glesni Bōhatei, Ka Kekoa, Hanno, and Murai accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
  • The Freelancers travelled along the treeline, not the roads, arriving at the Pirates Dream river without incident on the third day.
  • The following day, the Freelancers travelled upriver along the western bank in search of anything unusual.  They were well past the fork along Pirates River when they encountered three froggoths.  They were too close to the froggoths to avoid their confusion attacks.
  • While the Freelancers were thus occupied, a strange giant eagle with hooks for wings attacked them as well.
  • Glesni shot Hanno by accident and the giant eagle/hook creature almost killed Ka, but the Freelancers prevailed.
  • After battle, Ka kept one of the froggoth corpses for later study, and the Freelancers burned the rest to prevent other creatures from eating them.
  • They camped well away from the river that night, and headed back to Cliffshadow the next morning.  The Freelancers again checked the river for froggoths, but it seemed clear.
  • Arnari Rilynn’sithek identified the froggoth for the group, then paid 90 eagles each and disbursed the potion rewards:  oil of slipperiness (Glesni), potion of fire breath (Ondar), potion of water breathing (Ka), potion of cold resistance (Murai), and potion of fire breath (Hanno).  She successfully convinced Ondar not to drink his right away.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Vrontag, 3rd prime post-Fulcrum.
Loot
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers), oil of slipperiness (Glesni), potion of fire breath (Ondar), potion of water breathing (Ka), potion of cold resistance (Murai), potion of fire breath (Hanno)

  • Cathance Lobdhain, Ondar Thundercaller, and Timmy accepted a mission from Garth Nimblefingers, Dean of the Academy of Magic, to investigate the source of mild but serious destruction occurring in the student labs therein.
  • The Freelancers walked to the Academy of Magic, where they met the Dean and got very little useful info from him.
  • Garth Nimblefingers escorted the Freelancers to the big student lab room, and locked them inside, in order to block any destruction from spreading.
  • The Freelancers found 3 very hostile sphinx cats which reacted to any magic in unpredictable ways.  The Freelancers slew the cats.
  • Further investigation yielded no more information, so the Dean was brought in to examine the cats.  Garth explained they come from the find familiar spell going awry, and seem immune to detect magic.  
  • The Dean paid the Freelancers their fee of 200 eagles each and sent them on their way.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same afternoon.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  200 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Kaelani, Ondar Thundercaller, Glesni Bōhatei, Mia Taumata, and Ka Kekoa accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
  • The Freelancers travelled along the treeline, not the roads, arriving at the Pirates Dream river without incident on the third day.
  • The following day, the Freelancers travelled upriver in search of anything unusual.  After half a day of tracking, they discovered a group of 4 bears:  a mama and her 3 purple-winged offspring.
  • The Freelancers backtracked to find a giant elk.  They killed and butchered it, but Glesni was severely injured.
  • Kaelani, with Ka's help and advice, tried and failed to befriend the bears via clever use of giant elk steaks.  A fight resulted, during which the Freelancers subdued all 4 bears.
  •  The Freelancers tied up the bears, and Glesni searched the bear cave for items.
    • Acquired:  150 eagles in uncut gems and a driftglobe.
  • The Freelancers brought all 4 bears back to Cliffshadow without incident, which took twice as long as the prior travel.
  • Tomtom Evans agreed to assist with training the flying bears, which will go to Ondar, Mia, and Ka.
  • Arnari Rilynn’sithek paid 90 eagles each and disbursed the potion rewards:  oil of slipperiness (Kaelani), philter of love (Ondar), potion of hill giant strength (Mia), potion of thunder resistance (Ka), and potion of fire breath (Glesni).
  • Ondar drank his potion immediately, which caused some awkwardness for Arnari, but entertained the rest of us as they returned to Freelancers Tavern Nemostag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.

  • Manu, Kaelani, Ondar Thundercaller, and Glesni Bōhatei took the mission from Kaiea, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to track down the origin of the stuffed toys which appeared to be connected to a series of murders which had been taking out entire families.
  • The Freelancers visited the Mayor at his Office, and learned that another family had been murdered the night before in Trade District.  They hurried to the family's residence.
  • The human victims had been left undisturbed by the Guard, and next to the 8-year-old son was a stuffed toy cassowary, with blood on its beak.  The toy animated and attacked the Freelancers, but was smote down by Kaelani, revealing it to be a fiend.  Manu determined the toy had been imbued with black blood.
  • The Guard sent for a cleric, and Jeanah from Church of Ua arrived.  They cast speak with dead on the young son, and determined the doll had called to him.
  • Armed with this knowledge, a Guard was sent to the Mayor advising him to start collecting all such dangerous toys.
  • The Freelancers and Jeanah went to the other victims from the Trade District and cast speak with dead on the young daughter, who recognized the toy from the young son, and also advised the fiend had a "mama" in the south part of the Trade District.
  • The Freelancers started searching, and Ondar noticed an old human woman with the cloth scraps similar to the toys.  They followed her to a house and, peering in, determined she was the source of the stuffed toys.
  • Glesni returned to Freelancers Tavern to inform Arnari Rilynn'sethik, who declared the original mission had been fulfilled and paid out 180 eagles each.
  • Arnari negotiated halting the toys as a new mission with Mayor Kaiea.  Hikawera and Meurig joined this mission and returned to the house with Glesni.
  • Upon arrival at the house, Meurig determined there were four fiends therein.
  • The Freelancers entered the house, slew the fiends, and captured the old woman, who had surprising abilities.  They discovered a shrine to the Cassowary of Murder in the house, with a tranche of demon blood.
    • Acquired:  10 stars, 105 eagles, 500 cats, 45 pebbles, 2 bloodstone, 1 chalcedony, 1 citrine, 3 jasper, 1 zircon, +1 dagger, +1 shield, cloak of the bat, figurine of wondrous power: Silver Raven, gloves of thievery, wand of web
