  • Cathance Lobdhain, Hikawera, Kaelani, Ondar Thundercaller, and Ka Kekoa accepted the mission from Taleisin of the Orderly Stones Monastery to find the origin of the kobolds who have been apparently training apex predators to attack the monks and their herds.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Orderly Stones monastery in two days without incident and overnighted there.
  • The next morning, after discussing likely locations for their search with Taleisin, they headed towards the leading edge of the skylith.
  • After spending the better part of a day going through pathless forests, the Freelancers encountered a path and snow.  Investigation revealed more apex predators:  winter wolves.
  • Instead of noting the situation and moving to the next likely location, the Freelancers provoked the wolves, then split the party.  The split party was attacked by three winter wolves, which they slew.
  • Reforming the party in the clearing housing the wolves, the Freelancers Investigated a tree stump which Hikawera had shattered.  They found some valuables covered in shattered potions.
    • Acquired:  161 eagles in coin, and 8 gems worth 10 eagles each:  2 azurite, 1 banded agate, 1 blue quartz, 2 hematite, 1 malachite, 1 tiger eye 
  • The Freelancers gave up on their search and returned to Orderly Stones monastery with the wolf pelts and heads.  Taleisin admonished them he still wanted to know the location of the kobolds, but paid a fee of 200 eagles per wolf head.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Fulcrum.
Loot
  • Coin: 161 eagles in assorted coins
  • 10-eagle gems:  2 azurite, 1 banded agate, 1 blue quartz, 2 hematite, 1 malachite, 1 tiger eye
  • Mission pay:  600 eagles total (10% to Freelancers)

  • Ondar Thundercaller, Glesni Bōhatei, Ka Kekoa, Hanno, and Murai accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
  • The Freelancers travelled along the treeline, not the roads, arriving at the Pirates Dream river without incident on the third day.
  • The following day, the Freelancers travelled upriver along the western bank in search of anything unusual.  They were well past the fork along Pirates River when they encountered three froggoths.  They were too close to the froggoths to avoid their confusion attacks.
  • While the Freelancers were thus occupied, a strange giant eagle with hooks for wings attacked them as well.
  • Glesni shot Hanno by accident and the giant eagle/hook creature almost killed Ka, but the Freelancers prevailed.
  • After battle, Ka kept one of the froggoth corpses for later study, and the Freelancers burned the rest to prevent other creatures from eating them.
  • They camped well away from the river that night, and headed back to Cliffshadow the next morning.  The Freelancers again checked the river for froggoths, but it seemed clear.
  • Arnari Rilynn’sithek identified the froggoth for the group, then paid 90 eagles each and disbursed the potion rewards:  oil of slipperiness (Glesni), potion of fire breath (Ondar), potion of water breathing (Ka), potion of cold resistance (Murai), and potion of fire breath (Hanno).  She successfully convinced Ondar not to drink his right away.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Vrontag, 3rd prime post-Fulcrum.
Loot
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers), oil of slipperiness (Glesni), potion of fire breath (Ondar), potion of water breathing (Ka), potion of cold resistance (Murai), potion of fire breath (Hanno)

  • Cathance Lobdhain, Ondar Thundercaller, and Timmy accepted a mission from Garth Nimblefingers, Dean of the Academy of Magic, to investigate the source of mild but serious destruction occurring in the student labs therein.
  • The Freelancers walked to the Academy of Magic, where they met the Dean and got very little useful info from him.
  • Garth Nimblefingers escorted the Freelancers to the big student lab room, and locked them inside, in order to block any destruction from spreading.
  • The Freelancers found 3 very hostile sphinx cats which reacted to any magic in unpredictable ways.  The Freelancers slew the cats.
  • Further investigation yielded no more information, so the Dean was brought in to examine the cats.  Garth explained they come from the find familiar spell going awry, and seem immune to detect magic.  
  • The Dean paid the Freelancers their fee of 200 eagles each and sent them on their way.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same afternoon.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  200 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Terrance, Tahu Tuala, and Tuala of the Freelancers Guild on Duquesne accepted a mission from Chelbesa, Marshal of Halysraft on the thalassa Kizil, to investigate and stop mysterious problems that had been plaguing the settlement.
    • Per Arnari Rilynn'sithek, leader of the Duquesne Freelancers, the five Freelancers were to transfer to Commerce upon mission conclusion.
  • The Freelancers took the air elemental airship Puttachi, which was attacked twice by beasts en route.  The Freelancers rebuffed both attacks.
  • Arrived at Halysraft Remitag, last prime post-Tumultuous.
  • Upon interviewing Marshal Chelbesa, the Freelancers were informed the problems were the fishermen's take was reduced, the pearl divers attacked, the trade caravans were late, and Halysraft was off course.
  • The Freelancers interviewed the druid plesiosaur tenders who kept Halysraft in place, the pearl divers, and the fishermen, and concluded the key to the problems was the rafts going off course.
  • The Freelancers stood watch over the plesiosaurs; Tahu and Dryali ascertained two had been enchanted by a mysterious figure.
  • The next day the Freelancers accompanied two of the pearl divers to their place of harvesting in the kelp beds, and were attacked by a snapping turtle and two sharks.  One of the sharks turned out to be an Aquatic elf druid, Jajuna, wielding an armband of fish command.
  • During interrogation Jajuna revealed she and two other druids were disrupting Halysraft at the direction of the pirate ship Osprey.  After Fine Branch and Terrance determined Marshal Chelbesa had not interacted with the Osprey, they rendered Jajuna into his safekeeping.
  • The following day the Freelancers accompanied the fishermen to their place of fishing, and were attacked by the other two druids, Seralynn and Westthuis, and an awakened young kronosaur.  They captured all three.
  • On interrogation, Seralynn confirmed their disruption and the Osprey's assistance.  A Rain sagani druid, Aseiran Barshana, was coordinating the assistance, and had indicated he was doing so on additional thalassae.
  • The Freelancers turned over the awakened young kronosaur to the druids in charge of the plesiosaurs keeping Halysraft in place.  They turned over the druids to Marshal Chelbesa, who paid their fee of 500 eagles each, and informed them the Aquatic elves would be sent to Buhayra for appropriate disposition.
  • The Freelancers took passage on the air elemental airship Abilunon heading to Commerce from Kizil via Waypoint Dart.  Travel was 22 days, without incident.
  • Arrived at Freelancers Tavern in Ripa Daneo Sieratag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.
