• Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Nix Frostshaper, and Quelenna to acquire Death Butterfly wings for House Hadid, having spent some funds to learn the general area of Commerce in which to find such creatures.  Freelancer help had been requested by Gigi Hadid. 
• Informed by Damakaios that they would be able to find the creatures in the southwest part of the skylith, the Freelancers flew south to Tranquil Crossing, then continued on to the southwest and camp.  
• During truedark, 3 cheshires attacked the Freelancers' camp.  They were slain and the Freelancers skinned their valuable hides.
• After sleeping late, the Freelancers began their search for Death Butterflies the next morning.  They soon found a meadow with a couple thousand of them accumulated in 3 swarms, and paused to strategize.
• The Freelancers' attempts to separate the Death Butterfly swarms failed, so they just fought and slew them all.  The gryphons Nutmeg and Hau-kea were very injured from the butterflies' poison.
• After collecting the Death Butterflies, the Freelancers then flew directly back to Ripa Daneo.
• House Hadid paid 1875 eagles for the Death Butterfly wings, and 1200 eagles for two cheshire pelts.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag evening, 3rd prime post-Apastron.  The Freelancer Cut only applied to the fee for the Death Butterfly Wings.

• Minji, Aranel Neras-Dumaren, Ricardo Monroe, Tui Toodles, Sofiya, and Latae accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
• The Freelancers doubled-up on flying mounts to travel in 2 days to the Pirates Dream river fork, despite inclement weather.
• The following day, the Freelancers journeyed slowly up Pirates River until they found a meadow with big flowers nestled in a curve of the river.  Ricardo and Tui attempted to pick a big seed from one, to discover the plant was awakened and in the form of a big cat.
• The Freelancers battled three of these big "cat-flowers":  a Tiger lily, a Violet panther, and a Dandy lion.  They slew the latter two but before vanquishing the third, a unicorn appeared unexpectedly.
• The unicorn immediately slew the Tiger lily, and questioned the Freelancers on their relationship to the unnatural plants.  The Freelancers assured the unicorn they were attempting to clean up the unnaturalness of the area, then the unicorn disapparated.
• The Freelancers checked the rest of the meadow for unnatural flowers, then harvested the plant parts and returned to Cliffshadow.
• Upon return to Freelancers Tavern, they informed Arnari Rilynn’sithek about their findings and the unicorn, and she paid them the mission fee of 90 eagles and 1 uncommon potion each: greater healing potion (Aranel), underwater breathing (Tui), oil of slipperiness (Latae), potion of poison (Minji), potion of fire breath (Sofiya), potion of growth (Ricardo).
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern Petraag, 3rd prime post-Apastron.

• Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, assigned Fine Branch, Dryali Tezbeth, Tai Ho'onani, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, and Kaikoa to provide security for the Ripa Daneo Mount Faire.  Freelancer help had been requested by Mudra Copperfeather, the proprietor of the Faire.
• Of note was catching a thief stealing from the gear vendors and 2 other thieves stealing hippogryph eggs.  The rest was typical security.
• For the last four days of the 7-day Mount Faire, Damakaios replaced Tai, Ana, and Kaikoa on security detail with Nix Frostshaper and Quelenna.
• Of note was preventing an incident with a poorly contained hatzegopteryx and catching 2 pickpockets working the crowd.  Again, the rest was typical security.
• Damakaios paid 225 eagles each for the first half of the Mount Faire, and Mudra paid the Freelancers 250 eagles each for the second half.

• 1 trained mountain gryphon added to Freelancers stable, "Nutmeg", looking to Cathance Lobdhain.
• 1 trained peregrine gryphon added to Freelancers stable, "Rangi", looking to Glesni Bōhatei.

• Arnari Rilynn’sithek selected Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Dominic Holyarm, Murai, Sabah Banu, Peb Pebbles, Shimni Ioelena Qinyarus, and Ricardo Monroe to capture or kill the person(s) who interfered with the Demonstration of Prowess.  She had their location and the 8 of them sketched out an initial plan in her office.
• The selected Freelancers headed over to the location they need to be, an apartment over a butcher shop in the western Trade District.  Sabah and Murai checked in with Tobiah and Moulari, who had been keeping watch.
• Murai's dire corgi, Dudley, appropriated wares from the butcher's shop, interfering with any attempt to be incognito.
• Upon learning from Tobiah their target remained in the apartment, the Freelancers took up positions in preparation for him exiting the apartment.  Peb lowered Lorcan on a rope in front of a window, and Lorcan exploded a couple mason jars from Peb's dung collection in the middle of the apartment.
• The person within informed Natali he's been discovered, then exited.  As the Freelancers piled on, he used chess pieces to summon skeletons.  By the end of the altercation, the Freelancers had vanquished the skeletons, and captured their target.
• The Freelancers stripped their detainee of his valuables and magic items, then took those and him to the Mayor of Cliffshadow.  The Mayor took custody, but gave the valuables to the Freelancers.
  • Acquired: 40 stars, 182 eagles, 37 cats, 19 pebbles; 6 50-eagle gemstones (citrine, bloodstone, pearl, chrysoprase, zircon, diamond); Spellwoven Robes; ring of truth telling; boots of the vigilant; bracers of lordly protection; component pouch; and a spellbook.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern wame day, and Arnari paid them 200 eagles each.
• The spellbook was designated to general use for whoever can copy the spells.
  • 1st level: chromatic orb, detect magic, expeditious retreat, mage armor, magic missile, shield
  • 2nd level: alter self, hold person, knock, misty step, suggestion
  • 3rd level: blink, counterspell, fireball, fly, sending, slow

• Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, assigned Glesni Bōhatei and Hikawera to deliver a courier pouch to Clan Bevederen on thalassa Rocha for the Ripa Daneo Mount Faire.  Freelancer help had been requested by Mudra Copperfeather, the proprietor of the Faire.
• After picking up the pouch from Mudra, the Freelancers took the Paulgortan, an elemental airship captained by Efja, a triton.  Passage was overnight, since it was closest approach of the conjunction.
• Once on the thalassa, the Freelancers got rooms on Raftport, then flew to visit Clan Bevederen.  On the way there they encountered two unfriendly elementals.  They slew one and drove the other off.
• At Clan Bevederen they delivered the pouch to Hendrik, who paid the Freelancers the mission fee of 250 eagles each.
• The Freelancers stayed overnight at Raftport and headed back to Ripa Daneo the following day, arriving in the late afternoon.  Upon arrival, they visited Mudra to deliver the receipt for the courier pouch.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern Kenostag evening, 1st prime post-Apastron.

• Arnari Rilynn’sithek selected Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Maghris Bloomfield the 18th, Ricardo Monroe, and Tui Toodles to talk to the Academy of Magic and discover who interfered with the Demonstration of Prowess on the prior Petraag.
• The Freelancers walked over to Academy of Magic, where Sidama Gerbicho, assistant to the Dean, put them in touch with Jeddry, the Mikumwes who had helped set up the arena.
• Jeddry led the Freelancers to the laboratory room with all the items used for this activity, fielding questions along the way.
• As the Freelancers checked out the room, Lorcan and Tui found one of the barrier magic items had been altered.  Maghris found a dragonchess pawn.
• Tui found the pawn was part of a pair, and somehow convinced it to point to its peer.  The Freelancers followed Tui's magic pointer to a block in the western part of the Trade District.
• The Freelancers, through various peering through windows, discovered where the person who'd altered the arena barrier was staying, and set up a watch over the place.
• They returned the chess piece to the Dean, and Arnari paid them a mission fee of 100 eagles each.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day.

• Two wild crested pteranodons added to the Freelancers Stable, in care of Sovelai Galakiir, hippogryph stable master.  
• Dominic Holyarm and Carmen Granau are responsible for the crested pteranodons.  

• Arnari Rilynn’sithek deputized Dominic Holyarm, Minji, Carmen Granau, and Ricardo Monroe on the courier run to Pembroke, with news of the interference in the Demonstration of Prowess earlier in the prime.  Ricardo carried the courier pouch.
• The Freelancers traveled to Gemhallow on the air elemental airship Tugendhat, captained by Letitia Herohouse.
• The Tugendhat was almost to the Pembroke boundary when it ran afoul of a hatzegopteryx pursuing 4 crested pteranodons as prey.  The Freelancers drove off the hatzegopteryx and captured the two fastest crested pteranodons.
• Ricardo delivered the courier pouch to Einkil Logehr, leader of the Gemhallow Freelancers, who paid the Cliffshadow Freelancers a fee of 100 eagles each, and requested they bide a day to take back his responses and other correspondence.
• The next day, Einkil gave the Cliffshadow Freelancers a courier pouch for Arnari, and arranged return passage on the fire elemental airship Pandion, captained by Nolan Mountainbond.  Ricardo carried the courier pouch, and travel was without incident.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern in Cliffshadow on Oriotag morning, 2nd prime post-Apastron.
• In Cliffshadow, Ricardo delivered the courier pouch to Arnari who paid the Cliffshadow Freelancers a fee of 100 eagles each.

• The morning after the Demonstration of Prowess, Arnari Rilynn’sithek sent Tui Toodles, Sofiya, Nahele Amaru, Latae, and the twins Beck & Bock Hudson to retrieve House Ha'aheo's missing pegasus stallion, Koura the 2nd, at the request of Hanohano.
• The Freelancers visited House Ha'aheo stables, to learn what they could about the pegasus.  They spoke to a stablehand, Hina, to get good information regarding where to look for him.
• From there, the Freelancers went to The Park, and easily found the stallion, who was very interested in the apples Latae had bought on the way to the stables.
• Upon return of the pegasus, Hanohano paid the mission fee of 50 eagles each, reminding the new Freelancers to pay Arnari the Freelancers Cut.
• Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day.
