  • Ondar Thundercaller, Kaelani, Broo'an, Nix Frostshaper, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, and Hanno Okohei took a mission from Kaiea Tihani, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to investigate and stop thieves that had been stealing supplies from travellers on the road between Haven and Cliffgate.
  • To appear as normal travellers, the Freelancers rented a cart and invested in a cartload of spices, then departed.  
  • Whilst stopped at Cliffgate the Freelancers spoke to two halflings who had been attacked, and concluded the attackers were pegasi.  They purchased supplies sufficient to subdue a half-dozen pegasi before departing for Haven.
  • The Freelancers chose a campsite along the road which had more footprints than merchant travellers could explain, then set it up to be tempting to feral pegasi who are looking for feed.  Their plan was to ambush and capture them.
  • Their plan went awry when eight feral pegasi swept into the Freelancers' camp. Combat instincts kicked in, and Ondar, Kaelani, and Broo'an attacked to kill instead of capture.  In the end 1 pegasus was slain and 7 captured, thanks to Hanno using spare the dying.
  • The Freelancers continued to Haven with the captured pegasi.  While in Haven, they sold their cartload for 50% markup, shoed the pegasi, then bought cider and mead for the tavern.
  • The next day, the Freelancers headed back to Cliffshadow, which took 5 days' travel without incident.
  • Arnari bought the alcohol at 25% markup and paid the Freelancers their fee of 90 eagles.
  • Ondar and Kaelani sold their pegasi to House Ha'aheo, but the other Freelancers kept their captured equines to train as mounts.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Remitag, 3rd prime post-Apastron.
Loot
  • 7 feral pegasi (3 sold immediately to House Ha'aheo for 2000 eagles each)
  • Mission pay:  100 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Ondar Thundercaller, Glesni Bōhatei, Mia Taumata, Nix Frostshaper, Sabah Banu, and Murai accepted the mission from Kaiea Tihani, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to track down and dispatch any surviving Cassowary fiends associated with the murders that occurred during the prior eighth post-Fulcrum.
  • The Freelancers visited the Church of Ua to enquire about the crazy lady Cass held there.  The cleric Jeanah explained that Cass is too crazy to produce useful information.
  • The Freelancers visited the Guards at a nearby guard house, who reported nothing unusual.
  • Lacking other information, the Freelancers returned to the neighbourhoods which had the horrific murders earlier in the year, and asked if anything strange was going on.  They discovered that the dark alleys have become unusually dangerous.
  • Returned temporarily  to Freelancers Tavern, and equipped themselves to go hunting in the alleys of Guildstrom after dark.
  • That evening, the Freelancers  found and slew two cassowary fiends, which smoked into nothingness.
  • Glesni and Nix looked for traces of any other cassowaries or related magic, but found nothing.
  • The following day, the Freelancers tried to figure out if they got all the cassowary fiends, by consulting with the cleric Jeanah and also Arnari Rilynn’sithek, who pays their fee of 135 eagles and said she would consult with the Mayor about the next steps.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Remitag, 2nd prime post-Apastron.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Ondar Thundercaller, Osric Torunn, Glesni Bōhatei, and Meurig accepted the mission from Kaiea Tihani, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to investigate the placement of the map presumably tied to the faked death of Roberto Wendehals.
  • Before leaving Freelancers Tavern, Osric ran detect magic on the map, and I made a copy in case the map was magically altered later.
  • The Freelancers visited the Parkside mansion that Roberto used to own, which is now owned by House Lionfinger.  Kilix, head of house, told them Bernard handled the transition and gave them directions to Bernard's residence in Trade District.
  • The Freelancers visited Bernard and questioned him gently.  He was shocked that Roberto's body was missing, and hinted that the elegant lady's name was Natali.
  • During their visit, an assassin with two skeletons showed up and slew Bernard.  The Freelancers subdued the assassin and destroyed the skeletons.  Before going unconscious the assassin mentioned a lichess.
  • After binding the assassin, the Freelancers discovered dragonchess pieces, but nothing tying Bernard to  these miscreants.  Unsure what they should do next, they sent to Arnari Rilynn’sithek, informing her a lichess was involved.
  • Arnari and Nohea Tasi joined the Freelancers at Bernard's rooms, and after confirming he could pay for it, Arnari cast raise dead on Bernard.  After soothing his trauma, the Freelancers got enough information to realize Bernard's memory had been altered, and Roberto has been going to Three Rivers.
  • Arnari used suggestion on the assassin, named Lautaro, for the other Freelancers to interrogate him.  He revealed that both he and Roberto work for a person named Natali, who may be a lichess or may only be named Lichess.
  • Arnari contacted Mayor Kaiea, who sent over the City Guard.  Bernard was put under City Guard protection as he is now a target.  Lautaro was taken into City Guard custody.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern that same evening.
Loot
  • Coin:  84 eagles

  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Sabah Banu, Hanno Okohei, and Murai accepted a mission from Kaiea Tihani, Mayor of Cliffshadow, to investigate the placement of the map presumably tied to the faked death of Roberto Wendehals.
  • The Freelancers took the map to the Gnomonic Guild, and the chief scribe on duty, Lityerses, deduced the map is likely on Duquesne, within 2 days' travel of a settlement.
  • The Freelancers took a shortcut from the Gnomonic Guild to the Academy of Magic, and were attacked by a cassowary fiend in a back alley.  They slew the fiend and brought its corpse with them.
  • At the Academy of Magic, the Freelancers showed the corpse to Dean Nimblefingers.  He took samples and directed the Freelancers to Church of Ua.
  • Before leaving, the Freelancers spoke to Darag, the instructor who'd tutored Roberto Wendehals, about the map and confirmed it was written in Roberto's hand.  Darag suggested they track down Roberto's servants and ask them.
  • The Freelancers brought the cassowary corpse to Church of Ua and spoke to Jeanah, the cleric who'd helped with the murders investigation.  Upon seeing the size of the corpse, she sent for Downpour Anuhea, who thanked the Freelancers for bringing it to the Church and rewarded them with 50 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day.
  • Arnari Rilynn’sithek only paid 90 eagles each to the Freelancers, since the placement of the map was not fully solved.
Loot

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, convinced Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, and Terrance to take the mission from House Amabel to start culling the fauna from that harpy-infested villa they purchased, to increase its habitability.
  • The three Freelancers walked over to the villa and immediately tangled with four harpies.  Dryali and Terrance were charmed, but Fine Branch acted immediately to snap them out of it.
  • They slew two of the harpies, but the others withdrew to the villa atrium.
  • With the harpies out of the way, the Freelancers flew over the villa's atrium.  They spotted no harpies, but did see an overgrown garden, replete with piles of bones and shark teeth.  They heard as many as 4 more harpies.
  • The Freelancers returned, maybe an hour after they left, and reported their findings to Damakaios.  He took notes, of course; and paid them 225 eagles, their fee minus the Freelancers Cut.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles (10% to Freelancers)
