Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took on the mission posted by Bryseis Seere of the Cliffshadow Skyguard to investigate and hopefully locate the mysterious Jamie, who was backing the vandals drawing anti-Skyguard graffiti around Cliffshadow.
The Freelancers disguised themselves, and went to the dayworker market in the Southwest Trade District. They spotted Jamie's pseudodragon flying around. They also tried and failed to get chosen by Jamie for any shenanigans.
Terrance and Cathance followed the pseudodragon to a house on Horsefeather Street in Guildstrom District.
After dispensing with the disguises, the Freelancers went to Horsefeather Street to confirm the house was Jamie's.
Fine Branch and Cathance asked the neighbours, using a tale of Jamie being a Patron of the Arts.
Terrance and Osric cased the house.
In the early evening, Osric and Terrance failed entirely at whatever it was they were trying to do at Jamie's house. Jamie tried to capture them and discover their purpose, but they ran away.
Terrance overnighted in the Park, and Osric took a room at The Wayward Wing. Fine Branch and Cathance, unaware of where they went, returned to Freelancers Tavern and warned Arnari Rilynn'sithek, who put the Freelancers Tavern on alert.
Terrance and Osric returned to Freelancers Tavern in the morning of Remitag, 3rd prime post-Fulcrum, and gave Arnari a full accounting of events.
Since the mission parameters were fulfilled, Arnari paid their fee of 90 eagles each in lieu of contacting the Skyguard directly.
Tuala, Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took a mission from Garth Nimblefingers, Dean of the Academy of Magic, to retrieve something unspecified in advance from Pembroke.
The Freelancers visited the Academy of Magic to learn the dean wanted purple mournlode from Pembroke to help with a class in magical reflection. He arranged for travel to and from Gemhallow.
The mechanical airship for this travel is the Shukshin, captained by Robert Bluehelm.
The Freelancers boarded the Shukshin and journeyed to Gemhallow on Pembroke. The airship was attacked by three hippogryphs along the way. They slew two and captured one.
The Freelancers dropped their new hippogryph off at the Gemhallow Freelancers Tavern and got directions to where to find the purple mournlode, which is not too far out of Gemhallow.
Upon finding the ore, the Freelancers also discovered a cave bear in the same chamber. They knocked it out, and gathered twice as much ore as they needed for the mission. Osric left the bear with tasty vegetables to eat when it woke up.
The Freelancers visited Einkil Logehr, leader of Gemhallow Freelancers Tavern, who informed them he would be interested in cider from Haven. They overnighted in Gemhallow, then returned to Cliffshadow on the Shukshin, still with the captured hippogryph.
Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Kenostag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum, and left the hippogryph housed in Freelancers stable.
The Freelancers brought the ore to the Academy of Magic and collected their fee of 10 stars each from Garth Nimblefingers. He was not interested in the extra ore.
The ore is useful for silvering weapons, and the Freelancers discussed this with Oskar Torevir, who agreed to silver Terrance and Osric's weapons with it. Enough ore was left over for a third weapon.

Dryali Tezbeth and Tahu Tuala were deputized by Arnari Rilynn'sithek to do the Pembroke courier run.
The elemental airship for this travel is the Tugendhat, captained by Letitia Herohouse.
Dryali and Tahu boarded the Tugendhat and journeyed to Gemhallow on Pembroke without incident.
The Cliffshadow Freelancers delivered the courier pouch to Einkil Logehr, male Rocklit dwarf, leader of the Gemhallow Freelancers, and collected their fee of 100 eagles.
Einkil requested they delay their return for a day in order to carry a return package. To fill the time, Tahu and Dryali accepted a mission from shipbuilder Nicholas Duskfinger to harvest fire beetle glands for a bounty of 50 eagles per.
Dryali and Tahu acquired 3 casks of Coldstream ice wine from a merchant in the Gemhallow Market.
The Freelancers harvested 18 glands and were paid a total of 90 stars. The 9 star Freelancers' portion remained with the Gemhallow Tavern.
The next day, Einkil gave the Cliffshadow Freelancers a courier pouch for Arnari, and arranged passage back on the mechanical airship Kenleven, captained by Cenwood Stalesong.
Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Okeanostag morning, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.
In Cliffshadow, they delivered the courier pouch to Arnari and collected their fee of 100 eagles. Dryali and Tahu sold the ice wine to Freelancers Tavern for 50% profit.
Tuala, Kalleth Ebonygrit, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took a mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to find and stop "mean" dryads attacking the Children of Āhua.
The Freelancers traveled from Cliffshadow to Mantzur without incident, and consulted with Korfel. He had very little information, as the people getting attacked who'd survived had been charmed, and thus emerged from the experience disoriented.
The Freelancers spent the night in Mantzur and began a search to the south and west the next day.
Two dryads attacked the Freelancers in a glade, with the help of four large awakened needle shrubs. Attempts at conversation failed, so the Dryads were slain.
Acquired: 1 cloak of Elvenkind, and a Hag's token.
They camped in the glade for the night and returned to Mantzur the next day, Osric carrying the Hag's token, which the Freelancers failed to recognize as such.
On reporting back to Korfel, he told them the charm is a hag's token and destroyed it. He also cast dispel magic on Osric. The Freelancers collected a fee of 150 eagles each, and were sent back to Cliffshadow with a scroll from Korfel to Arnari Rilynn'sithek requesting help with the hag.
Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Petraag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.
Osric Torunn, a Holder dwarf farmer from Pembroke, joined Freelancers Guild by taking a mission after working as a stablehand for Tahia Anewa in the Gryphon stables
Terrance, a firbolg urchin from Mantzur, joined Freelancers Guild
6 golden eagle gryphon eggs added to the stables. Tahia Anewa, the Freelancers' gryphon stable master, took charge of hatching the eggs and care for the hatchlings.

Dryali Tezbeth and Tahu Tuala took a mission to scout out the locations of the grblins who had been raiding travellers near Marshfork.
The full Freelancers contract, from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, was to eliminate the grblins, and others would join Dryali and Tahu.
Travel to Marshfork was without incident, and after syncing up with the Mayor, Dryali and Tahu found the grblins' forward camp on their second day of scouting along Big Brother river.
After following a road leading north from the camp for a couple days, Tahu and Dryali discovered a tree and a gully hiding a cave system which, from the wolf tracks, they concluded was likely the grblins' base.
Dryali and Tahu returned to Marshfork on the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday with this information, and collected their fee of 100 eagles each from the Mayor of Marshfork.
On Fysitag, last prime post-Tumultuous, Meurig departed on hippogryph for Marshfork to join Dryali and Tahu. He got lost around Three Rivers and did not arrive until the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday.
Also on Fysitag, last prime post-Tumultuous, Kaikoa, Manu, and Kalleth Ebonygrit set out along the road to join Tahu and Dryali. They arrived in Three Rivers on the eve of the Fulcrum Holiday.
Meurig, Dryali, and Tahu went back to the grblin forward camp from Marshfork the day after the Fulcrum Holiday to find 5 wolves and 6 grblins. They waited for a raiding squad to leave, then slew the wolf and 2 grblins who remained.
Acquired: 45 eagles, 21 cats, 70 pebbles, 1 citrine, 2 jasper, 1 quartz, 1 sardonyx, 1 star rose quartz, 3 Healing Potions, 1 Greater Healing Potion, 1 Potion of Climbing
Dryali, Tahu, and Meurig laid in wait for the returning raiders and slew 4 grblins and 4 wolves. They burned the bodies.
Acquired: 12 eagles, 9 cats, 23 pebbles, 6 scimitars and 6 short bows in worn condition.
Tahu, Meurig, and Dryali traveled to the tree and gully scouted before. Meurig scouted the area from his hippogryph to discover 2 guards, and more info about the lay of the land, in particular no other entrances to the cave.
Meurig departed for Marshfork, taking the worn weapons to sell. Tahu and Dryali stayed near the tree to keep watch.
Meurig arrived in Marshfork the next day, and collected their fee of 150 eagles each from Casimir Lightforger. Meurig sold off the worn weapons for 100 eagles, then met with Kaikoa, Manu, and Kalleth to brief them on the situation and to send them forward to Dryali and Tahu.
Kalleth, Kaikoa, and Manu travelled to the tree and gully to meet up with the waiting Dryali and Tahu. Meurig departed for Cliffshadow.
The Freelancers' plan to dispatch the grblin sentries quietly resulted in a big fight against 2 grblins and 10 wolves, all of which they slaughtered.
The Freelancers explored the cave leading downward from the tree to find the cave where the wolves were stabled. They crossed the gully on a bridge and fought a dozen grblins, killing them all, but taking injuries.
After healing up, the Freelancers found the grblins' treasure room and looted it.
Acquired: 170 eagles, 200 cats, 2500 pebbles, 2 chalcedony, 2 chrysoprase, 1 diamond, 1 moonstone, 1 quartz, 1 sardonyx, 1 zircon, Sentinel shield, +1 flail, +1 shortsword, ring of water walking, 2 Healing Potions, 1 Potion of Fire giant strength, 1 scroll of bless, and 6 incubating golden eagle gryphon eggs.
The Freelancers returned to Marshfork and collected their fee of 200 eagles each from the Mayor.
Meurig returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Oriotag, 1st prime post-Fulcrum.
The others returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Chaostag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.

Kalleth Ebonygrit, Dryali Tezbeth, and Tahu Tuala travelled to Lakeview for the bounty posted by Popoki, Mayor of Lakeview, for eliminating the giant frogs attacking the town's fisherfolk.
Travel to Lakeview was uneventful and took 3 days.
The mayor of Lakeview, Popoki, did not have information about the cause of the frogs' attacks. He did promise the Freelancers a feast, if the frog legs were brought back in addition to their heads for the bounty.
The Freelancers had no trouble at all finding 6 giant frogs. While fighting them, 3 more appeared as well as a giant toad. These were all slain in short order.
Tahu dove into the lake to search for any clues about what prompted the giant frog attacks. He found no clues, but did find a small chest.
The Freelancers returned to Lakeview with the heads and frog legs, and collected a bounty of 100 stars and 100 eagles; the mayor doubled the bounty for the toad's head. All feasted on frog legs.
The Freelancers spent an extra day in Lakeview to go out on the lake with the fishermen to ensure there were no more giant frog attacks.
In the absence of new attacks, the Freelancers travelled back to Cliffshadow.
Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
