  • Fine Branch, Dryali Tezbeth, Hu'eu Aukai, and Kaelani embarked on a 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 went to the boarding house of the miscreants Dryali and Fine Branch (and others) caught vandalizing the Skyguard Outpost on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.  They found out from the landlord Iphis, after producing 10 eagles for the information, the miscreants had moved on.  
  • The Freelancers checked with the Skyguard for more information, and sketched out a plan to draw out Jamie.
  • The Freelancers found out from the City Guard that the Temple of Serenity has been experiencing graffiti and vandalism.
  • After getting permission from the temple acolytes, the Freelancers staked out the Temple of Serenity, and caught 3 humans graffiti'ing the walls.  Dryali and Hu'eu dumped paint on their heads, the humans tried to run away, but Hu'eu successfully intimidated them into explaining how Jamie recruited people from the day labour markets.
  • Fine Branch spotted Jamie's pseudodragon familiar fleeing the scene.
  • The Temple of Serenity was pleased with this outcome, and paid 100 eagles to Hu'eu, who split it with the other Freelancers.
  • On Remitag, they discussed progress with Bryseis of the Skyguard, who was pleased with progress, but did not consider the mission fulfilled.  She paid a reduced fee of 100 eagles total and declared the mission was still considered posted.
  • Returned with this information to Freelancers the same day.
Loot
  • 100 eagles reward (split)
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Tuala, Dryali Tezbeth, Tahu Tuala, and Kalleth Ebonygrit took a mission from Taleisin to clear out the Snake-worshipping kobolds which had established themselves a couple hours west of Orderly Stones Monastery.
  • The Freelancers travelled to the entrance in good order and arrived same day.
  • At the entrance Dryali provoked a pair of giant weasels, which the party slew.  Tahu explored the tunnel beyond, triggering a loud alarm.
  • Despite the loud alarm, the Freelancers found nothing alive in the cave beyond, other than some rats in a pit trap.  However they did find a shrine to the Snake with much coin on an altar.
  • Proceeding past the shrine to the Snake, the Freelancers dealt with an amazing number of annoying traps.  Once past those, they finally found a large cave with the kobolds waiting for them and prepared for battle.
  • The Freelancers wiped out all but one of the kobolds they encountered.  All were warriors or inventors.  They did not pursue any non-combatant kobolds who might have escaped through a small tunnel that Kalleth found.

  • Dryali Tezbeth, Kalleth Ebonygrit, Manu, and Kaikoa took a mission from the Church of Storms to track down Gillian of the Daystar worshippers.
  • The Freelancers checked out the warehouse previously found to be the place of lotion production, to no avail.  Kaikoa found the Daystar worshippers in the Park and was offended by their activities, as would be all right-thinking persons.  He led the others to the location, but once all were there, the Daystar worshippers had left.  They tracked one to his house, but learned nothing of interest.
  • On Fysitag, The Freelancers staked out the place in the Park used by the Daystar cultists.  After stealing a lotion, they followed two separate cultists and staked out those as well.  In the end, they trailed a Wind sagani shopkeeper named Mea.
  • The Freelancers followed Mea to a jewelry shop in Parkside named Hinulei.  Manu and Kalleth watched her buy a new lotion from Mansel, confirming the Daystar cultists were there.  Kaikoa and Dryali kidnapped Mea, who revealed there are 7 of them in the jewelry shop.  Dryali relieved Mea of her new lotion.
  • The Freelancers brought Mea to the Church of Storms, and delivered her, the jar of lotion, and Mansel's location to Typhoon Waiola, who declared that meant they know where Gillian is, and paid the fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow late on Fysitag, 2nd prime post-Tumultuous.
  • Despite the hour, Arnari Rilynn'sithek met with them, and Dryali delivered to her the lotion stolen initially.  She cast identify on the lotion to figure out what it is, which is a nasty assault on the user's wisdom.
Loot
  • Mission Pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Dryali Tezbeth and Tahu Tuala met Meurig, and the three of them were given an opportunity to go to Stormhaven, as escorts of the Lady Sonya Drogo.
  • Dryali, Tahu, and Meurig went to House Drogo, met Lady Sonya and three retainers with whom they would travel to Stormhaven, and learned the purpose of the journey was to shop for an available shipbuilder, as Adam Biddle, the shipbuilder House Drogo normally patronizes, was already repairing an airship of theirs.  The group departed immediately.
  • The trip to Stormhaven was 6 days by carriage, and was mostly uneventful; but south of Haven they did have to defend against an attack by half a dozen wolves.
  • The travelers arrived at Stormhaven in early afternoon on Rochtag, and got rooms at the Gallant Gryphon.  Lady Sonya asked the Freelancers to procure recommendations for which shipbuilders she should engage to repair two damaged airships.
  • The Freelancers visited the Stormhaven enclave of the Great Workshop of Eternal Refinements.  Gilthur, the enclave's master artificer, was happy to make positive and negative recommendations to guide them on their way.
  • The Freelancers visited the shipbuilders at Shipmonger, The Portly Mast, and Misty Mooring, but discovered they were less prepared than they'd thought to have a discussion of potential work; The Portly Mast workshop did not talk to them.
  • Having not eaten since mid-day on the road, the Freelancers decided to patronize The Safe Harbour inn.  Their hope to get more information from other patrons paid off, and they learned of another shipbuilder of good repute, Ozias Cloudslicer.
  • Upon receipt of this information, Lady Sonya chose to use Shipmonger and Misty Mooring for her airship repair needs.
  • The Freelancers served as go-betweens for Lady Sonya in her negotiations, which were without incident of note.
  • On Kenostag the travellers departed Stormhaven, and had a safe journey back to Cliffshadow by carriage.  They collected a fee from Lady Sonya of 150 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Sieratag, 2nd prime post-Tumultuous.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Tuala, Dryali, Manu, Hikawera, and Kaikoa took a mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to remove the bloodhawks attacking travellers on the southward road, mostly because they sounded good to eat.
  • The Freelancers slaughtered and ate seven bloodhawks, although Hikawera was reluctant to cook them.  They attested to me, Nyls, that bloodhawks are indeed delicious with paprika.
  • The party of Freelancers found the bloodhawks' nest, and slaughtered three more bloodhawks.  The nest had 11 eggs, and a piece of jewelry, which they took with them while searching for origin.
  • Exploring further southward, the party of Freelancers were attacked by two satyr bandits, who are apparently associated with rowdy shrubs.  Hikawera's quick thinking distracted the satyrs and split the attackers, allowing the Freelancers to lay waste.
  • The Freelancers acquired 3 magic items, but neither coin nor clue from the satyrs.  Upon arriving at Mantzur, they collected their fee of 200 eagles and delivered the 11 bloodhawk eggs, as well as the news of the rowdy trees at Haven, which was ill-received.
    • Acquired:  Earring of Āhua, Loquacious Pendant, Ring of the Favored
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Chaostag, 1st prime post-Tumultuous.
Loot
  • Earring of Āhua
  • Loquacious Pendant
