  • After investigating two of the murder scenes, the Freelancers noticed a pattern in the murders which centered on a child between 6 and 9 years old.
  • They started asking the neighbours, and children told them the child's personality had changed after acquiring a stuffed toy dubbed their "New Best Friend."
  • After reporting this information to Mayor Kaiea, the Freelancers were paid their fee of 150 eagles, and informed that the Mayor would want Freelancers Guild to determine the origin of the toys.

  • Torinn Myastan, Khalid Malone, and Glesni Bōhatei accepted a mission from Taleisin of the Orderly Stones Monastery to track down & dispatch another mountain lion which had been attacking their goatherds. 
  • Travelling by flying mounts, the Freelancers arrived late afternoon the same day at Orderly Stones.  They had been beset by inclement weather.
  • The next morning, the weather prevented them from leaving until almost midday.
  • The Freelancers flew to the meadow Taleisin had indicated as the location of the attacks, and quickly found tracks.  They followed the tracks to a cave obviously inhabited by a large cat.
  • The Freelancers attacked the large cat to discover three big cougars, the largest being the mama cougar.  They slew all the cougars, but were injured in the process.
  • Investigating the nearby cave, the Freelancers found evidence that the cougars had been trained by kobolds.
  • After skinning the cats for their pelts, they deduced there are likely more caves prepared to attack Orderly Stones.  The Freelancers then flew to one such place to discover giant spider webs, which Glesni burned.
  • The Freelancers returned to Orderly Stones with the news of mountain lion demise and imminent spider attack.  Taleisin paid their fee of 400 eagle bounty for each cougar head, and gave them two mission requests to bring back to Freelancers Tavern.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Kenostag, last prime post-Tumultuous.
Loot
  • Lion pelts worth 180 eagles
  • Mission pay: 1200 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Cathance Lobdhain, Hikawera, Quelenna, Osric Torunn, Tai Ho'onani, and Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana} were sent to Stormhaven to capture the notorious Green Mais-Quand, who had freed Jamie from the Skyguard and arranged for the Blue Bandanna gang to beat up Freelancers.
  • Travelling by flying mounts, the Freelancers arrived on the evening of the third day without incident in Stormhaven.
  • The Freelancers took rooms at The Safe Harbour inn, where Green was seen before.  They listened around the tavern but heard nothing about Green, until Ana told the others where to find him the next afternoon.
  • The next morning, the Freelancers informed Elena Catracha, captain of the Stormhaven Skyguard outpost, of their intention, and asked about known henchmen.
  • Later, Tai, Ana, and Hikawera waited inside The Stone & Arms, where they expected Green to show up.  Cathance, Quelenna, and Osric waited in the nearby public square, whiling away the time playing dragonchess.
  • Once Green arrived at The Stone & Arms to conduct business, Ana approached him with an offer of information to sell.  He was interested and Hikawera used suggestion to get Green to accompany them out of the tavern.
  • The Freelancers kept Green subdued while slaying 4 out of 5 bodyguards in the middle of the street.  Hikawera was badly injured in the brief fight.
  • The Skyguard took custody of Green, sent a squad to clean up the mess in the tunnels, and let the Freelancers retain what was removed from Green and his bodyguards.

  • Kaikoa, Glesni Bōhatei, Ondar Thundercaller, and Ka Kekoa were assigned by Tomtom Evans to the mission from Hanohano of House Ha'aheao to investigate and halt mysterious shenanigans afflicting the House Ha'aheo pegasus stables.
  • The Freelancers took two hours to walk to the stables and meet with Hanohano.  Over lunch, he filled in the details of what was happening, then showed them the location of the most recent event.  
  • On investigation, Kaikoa realized there were goose bite marks on some of the tack.
  • When Kaikoa announced his realization, geese apparated in and disapparated when struck.  They stole various items from Hanohano and the Freelancers.  When the last goose disapparated, everyone turned invisible for a minute.
  • The Freelancers informed Hanohano he had angered the Goose, and urged him to reflect upon any changes to the stable environs.  He informed them about a new paddock the House was clearing.
  • The Freelancers checked out the intended paddock to find an ancient shrine of the Goose.  Kaikoa identified recent damage done to the shrine by House Ha'aheo's work, and suggested they put it back together then sabotage it for the next user of it, as befits the god of Sabotage.
  • Upon completion of their effort the Goose itself appeared and rewarded them by increasing their height randomly.
  • The Freelancers advised Hanohano the problem was solved, but that area was lost to any use as a paddock.  Hanohano paid the Freelancers fee of 150 eagles each and put them up for the night.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Kenostag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
Loot
  • Mission pay: 150 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Quelenna, Osric Torunn, Tai Ho'onani, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Mia Taumata, Glesni Bōhatei, and Ondar Thundercaller accepted a mission from Taleisin of the Orderly Stones Monastery to track down & dispatch two or three mountain lions which had been attacking their goatherds. 
  • The Freelancers arrived at Orderly Stones without incident the same day, but after dark.
  • After staying the night, the Freelancers find out from Taleisin and Fuifui where to look for the mountain lion attacks.  Taleisin and Fuifui weren't sure how many cats there were.
  • The Freelancers took two days to find the place of goat herds, with Tai and Ondar tracking, and discovered six crag cats working as a unit.
  • Glesni, Mia, and Ondar were easily dispatched by the big cats, but Osric healed them.  In the end the Freelancers prevailed and slew the cats.
  • Osric determined it was unnatural for crag cats to form this large a group.  After realizing the pelts are valuable, Osric, Tai, and Ondar skinned the cats.  Tai beheaded the cats so Orderly Stones would pay their fee, then the Freelancers headed back to the monastery.
  • The monastery paid the Freelancers their fee of 600 eagles.
  • The next day the Freelancers headed back to Cliffshadow.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
