  • Manu, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, and Maghris Bloomfield the 18th accepted a mission from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, to investigate again whether the grblin caves to the north had been reoccupied.
  • The Freelancers journeyed to Marshfork without incident, four long days' travel on courser pegasi.
  • At The Cantankerous Goose, the Freelancers listened for rumours of grblins, but news was light.  Lorcan heard word of game scarcity to the northeast, but the cave is to the northwest.
  • The Freelancers confirmed the cave in question is abandoned, but in the process startled several swarms of bats, most of which they killed.
  • Concerned by work of game scarcity, the Freelancers flew further north and checked the other cave for activity, which Manu did see.
  • The Freelancers reported their findings to Casimir, who paid a bonus 50 eagles to their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Travel back was also without incident.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Remitag, 1st prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles each (10 eagles each to Freelancers)

  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Minji, Ka Kekoa, Dominic Holyarm, and Kairos Greybeard accepted a mission from Kailani of House Liona to acquire wild gryphon eggs from the Northridge Mountains, north of Three Rivers, to augment the House breeding lines.
  • The Freelancers doubled up on Ohenui, Ka's flying bear, and Catherine, Kairos' pegasus, and travelled to Three Rivers without incident.  Once there they spent the evening in The Mule's Rest tavern, listening for gossip about who and where anyone had encountered gryphons to the north.
  • After a day and a half travel upriver, the Freelancers found two martial gryphon nests and acquired 18 eggs before one of the martial gryphons returned.
  • The Freelancers flew off as fast as they could, and the martial gryphon gave chase.  As they fled, the group tried to distract it and warn it off, but merely slowed it.  After they crossed some boundary known only to the gryphon, it fell back and let them go.
  • That night as they camped, Lorcan and Dominic were so wound up from their adventure, their jumpiness on watch caused the entire group to oversleep, and they returned to Three Rivers very late.
  • House Liona paid a 10% premium for the eggs, rewarded the Freelancers with a bald eagle gryphon, and covered the Freelancer fee.
  • Minji diced with Dominic to win the gryphon.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, last prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  bald eagle gryphon gelding (Minji), 1170 eagles (split between Lorcan, Ka, Dominic, Kairos)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Cathance Lobdhain, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, and Quelenna to take the mission from House Amabel to start clearing rooms in that uninhabitable villa they'd purchased.
  • The three Freelancers entered the villa via the balcony on which they'd previously fought the harpy infestation.
  • The room behind the balcony is large and contained 4 abandoned harpy nests.  Cathance observed the ceiling was in good repair.
  • When the Freelancers entered the room, a spectre and a wraith manifested and attacked them.  The Freelancers defeated these spirits, but Ana was injured.
  • Inspection of the harpy nests revealed the dirty creatures had been hoarding items, which the Freelancers appropriated after Cathance cleaned with prestidigitation.
  • Scouting the room to the northeast, Cathance saw another harpy nest and Ana determined it had magic items in it.
  • Ana cleverly grabbed an item from the nest with mage hand to see three wraiths manifest within, so the Freelancers fled.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern same day.
Loot
  • gold earrings worth 125 eagles - sold
  • silver bracelet with jet worth 150 eagles - sold

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, and Tai Ho'onani to use the imprinter part stolen from House Grayaere to track down the parties responsible for it.  Freelancer help had been requested by Mael Grayaere, my uncle and Head of House.
  • The Freelancers decided Dryali would do the drop and signal, having used alter self to look like the rogue Valencia; Tai would stake out the signal place; Fine Branch and Ana would stake out the park with the drop.
  • Dryali was successful with the signal, and Tai confirmed it had been seen.  Ana and Fine Branch, in the park, noticed a foppish half-elf, Kel, and a burly human woman, Brit, that were also waiting.
  • Dryali made the drop, picking up a leather pouch with 100 stars in exchange.  Fine Branch and Ana watched Kel pick up the imprinter part and leave with Brit.
  • The Freelancers follow the pair across town and to the Crimson Fan's compound, with the help of Fine Branch using locate object.
  • Tai ran back to Freelancers Tavern for guidance from Damakaios, who decided to call them back and let the House sort out the gathered information.
  • Damakaios got solid descriptions of the two mercenaries from Fine Branch, and paid the Freelancers 225 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern that evening; Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Coin:  1000 stars
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Dryali Tesbeth and Fine Branch to investigate and track down the perpetrators of thefts against House Grayaere.  Freelancer help had been requested by Mael Grayaere, my uncle and Head of House.
  • Dryali and Fine Branch visited Grayaere Villa, and consulted with Mael and his daughter Doria.  They learned that imprinter parts had been going missing in the last 3 shipments, and with a 4th shipment imminent, Mael wanted to learn who was behind the thefts.
  • With Doria's help, Fine Branch and Dryali interrogated the guards for this 4th shipment, to discover a guard, Big Max, had been taking the parts and dead dropping them for coin.
  • Doria used modify memory on Big Max so he would forget he'd been exposed, while Dryal and Fine Branch conducted a security inspection of the grounds.  On their advice, Doria emplaced a part for Big Max to steal that could be tracked by locate object.
  • Big Max stole the part as intended and dropped it off.  The drop location was staked out by a disguised Fine Branch and Dryali.
  • A Cloud elf rogue picked up the imprinter part and was trailed by Dryali and Fine Branch.  Of course they were spotted because Dryali isn't very good at that.
  • The Cloud elf shot Dryali in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt.  An argument and a fight ensued in which Fine Branch and Dryali eventually knocked out the Cloud elf.
  • Unsure how else to proceed, the Freelancers took her to Carnivale for interrogation assistance.  During the interrogation they learned her name was Valencia, she was in the Thieves Guild, and Jenzabar had recommended her for this job.  She was also to dead drop the imprinter part, and she suspected the employer was House Demazo.
  • The Freelancers then let Valencia go, but retained her coin:  161 eagles, 100 of which was paid to Carnivale for their assistance.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern in the wee hours Petraag, 3rd prime post-Harvest, at which time Damakaios paid them their fee of 225 eagles.
  • The following morning, Fine Branch and Dryali returned to Grayaere Villa to report their findings personally.  Fine Branch used remove curse to restore Big Max's memory, and then Doria kicked his thieving ass out.
Loot
  • Coin:  61 eagles
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Fine Branch, Tahu Tuala, Cathance Lobdhain, Tuala, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, and Quelenna to take the mission from House Amabel to dispatch the undead giant shark from that uninhabitable villa they'd purchased.
  • The Freelancers visited the villa whilst still arguing about their strategy.  After Ana used detect magic to investigate the atrium on her courser pegasus, they settled on a plan for Cathance to activate the undead-revival spell, Ana to watch with detect magic, and Fine Branch to dispel it.
  • There was nothing for Fine Branch to dispel, so the Freelancers fought and slew 4 undead sharks:  3 normal-sized and one giant.
  • During the fight they set an awning on fire, but Fine Branch put it out with create or destroy water.
  • Ana retrieved the shark teeth while Tahu and Tuala investigated the doors and windows of the villa.
  • The Freelancers relayed their victory and results of investigation to Damakaios, who paid their 225-eagle fee (post-Freelancers Cut).
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern same day.
Loot
  • 28 giant shark teeth (worth 50 eagles each)
  • Mission pay: 250 eagles (10% to Freelancers)
