  • Dryali Tezbeth, Torinn Myastan, and Khalid Malone accepted a mission from Odo of House Aldous to acquire more wild hippogryph eggs from the Haven Hills to augment his breeding lines.
  • The Freelancers gathered the equipment they'd need and traveled to Haven without incident.
  • In Haven, they got a room with a fireplace at The Local Flavour, and sought out word of wild hippogryphs in the taproom there.

  • The next day, the Freelancers searched south east of Haven for destrier hippogryphs, based on more taproom gossip.  They were surprised by three of them, one of whom nearly slew Khalid.  Dryali healed Khalid and the Freelancers knocked out these hippogryphs as well.
  • Further searching found their nest, and the Freelancers harvested 11 eggs from it.
  • The return trip to Cliffshadow was slow, to avoid damaging 21 hippogryph eggs, but without incident.
  • Odo of House Aldous was pleased with the eggs, and rewarded the Freelancers with two geldings and 320 eagles.  Khalid and Torinn each received a gelding and 60 eagles, and Dryali got 200 eagles.  Odo also paid Arnari the Freelancers' Cut.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow Chaostag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.

  • After repeated attempts to entice Freelancers into an unvetted retribution mission, Leticia had a verbal altercation with Tuala and Cathance, then stormed out of the building.  Tuala, Cathance, and Meurig decided to trail her and discover the truth of her tale.
  • The Freelancers tracked Leticia all the way to the blue bandanna people, whom she was claiming to hire them to fight.  Instead she turned out to be their leader.
  • After a brief fight, three thugs were knocked out, and Leticia was compelled to sit out by suggestion.
  • Meurig returned to the Freelancers Tavern to request Nohea Tasi's assistance, and retrieve some rope to restrain the fallen.
  • Cathance and Tuala stabilized the downed thugs and searched them for clues.  They discovered the thugs have 181 eagles, far more than one expects on such types.
  • Nohea bound the unconscious thugs and helped the others question Leticia, who was apparently hired by a halfling man to beat up Freelancers.  The Freelancers persuaded her to work with them to help find out more about the halfling man.
  • The Freelancers returned to the tavern and reported the sequence of events to Arnari Rilynn’sithek.  Arnari noted the halfling's description and timing of Leticia's hiring aligned with the halfling trailing the Freelancers in Stormhaven who were assisting Sonya Drogo as of Kenostag, 3rd prime post-Planting.

  • Once in Cliffshadow, the Freelancers informed Adrian Bryant of the Church of Storms the substance of their discoveries on Waypoint Superb, and collected their fee of 150 eagles each.
