  • Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took on the mission posted by Bryseis Seere of the Cliffshadow Skyguard to investigate and hopefully locate the mysterious Jamie, who was backing the vandals drawing anti-Skyguard graffiti around Cliffshadow.
  • The Freelancers disguised themselves, and went to the dayworker market in the Southwest Trade District.  They spotted Jamie's pseudodragon flying around.  They also tried and failed to get chosen by Jamie for any shenanigans.
  • Terrance and Cathance followed the pseudodragon to a house on Horsefeather Street in Guildstrom District.
  • After dispensing with the disguises, the Freelancers went to Horsefeather Street to confirm the house was Jamie's.
  • Fine Branch and Cathance asked the neighbours, using a tale of Jamie being a Patron of the Arts.
  • Terrance and Osric cased the house.
  • In the early evening, Osric and Terrance failed entirely at whatever it was they were trying to do at Jamie's house.  Jamie tried to capture them and discover their purpose, but they ran away.
  • Terrance overnighted in the Park, and Osric took a room at The Wayward Wing. Fine Branch and Cathance, unaware of where they went, returned to Freelancers Tavern and warned Arnari Rilynn'sithek, who put the Freelancers Tavern on alert.
  • Terrance and Osric returned to Freelancers Tavern in the morning of Remitag, 3rd prime post-Fulcrum, and gave Arnari a full accounting of events.
  • Since the mission parameters were fulfilled, Arnari paid their fee of 90 eagles each in lieu of contacting the Skyguard directly.
Loot
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Tuala, Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took a mission from Garth Nimblefingers, Dean of the Academy of Magic, to retrieve something unspecified in advance from Pembroke.
  • The Freelancers visited the Academy of Magic to learn the dean wanted purple mournlode from Pembroke to help with a class in magical reflection.  He arranged for travel to and from Gemhallow.
    • The mechanical airship for this travel is the Shukshin, captained by Robert Bluehelm.
  • The Freelancers  boarded the Shukshin and journeyed to Gemhallow on Pembroke. The airship was attacked by three hippogryphs along the way.  They slew two and captured one.
  • The Freelancers dropped their new hippogryph off at the Gemhallow Freelancers Tavern and got directions to where to find the purple mournlode, which is not too far out of Gemhallow.
  • Upon finding the ore, the Freelancers also discovered a cave bear in the same chamber.  They knocked it out, and gathered twice as much ore as they needed for the mission.  Osric left the bear with tasty vegetables to eat when it woke up.
  • The Freelancers visited Einkil Logehr, leader of Gemhallow Freelancers Tavern, who informed them he would be interested in cider from Haven.  They overnighted in Gemhallow, then returned to Cliffshadow on the Shukshin, still with the captured hippogryph.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Kenostag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum, and left the hippogryph housed in Freelancers stable.
  • The Freelancers brought the ore to the Academy of Magic and collected their fee of 10 stars each from Garth Nimblefingers.  He was not interested in the extra ore.
  • The ore is useful for silvering weapons, and the Freelancers discussed this with Oskar Torevir, who agreed to silver Terrance and Osric's weapons with it.  Enough ore was left over for a third weapon.
Loot
  • Materials:  10lbs purple mournlode ore
  • Mission pay:  50 stars (10% to Freelancers)

  • The Freelancers harvested 18 glands and were paid a total of 90 stars.  The 9 star Freelancers' portion remained with the Gemhallow Tavern.

  • Tuala, Kalleth Ebonygrit, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took a mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to find and stop "mean" dryads attacking the Children of Āhua.  
  • The Freelancers traveled from Cliffshadow to Mantzur without incident, and consulted with Korfel.  He had very little information, as the people getting attacked who'd survived had been charmed, and thus emerged from the experience disoriented.
  • The Freelancers spent the night in Mantzur and began a search to the south and west the next day.
  • Two dryads attacked the Freelancers in a glade, with the help of four large awakened needle shrubs.  Attempts at conversation failed, so the Dryads were slain.
    • Acquired:  1 cloak of Elvenkind, and a Hag's token.
  • They camped in the glade for the night and returned to Mantzur the next day, Osric carrying the Hag's token, which the Freelancers failed to recognize as such.
  • On reporting back to Korfel, he told them the charm is a hag's token and destroyed it.  He also cast dispel magic on Osric.  The Freelancers collected a fee of 150 eagles each, and were sent back to Cliffshadow with a scroll from Korfel to Arnari Rilynn'sithek requesting help with the hag.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Petraag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.
Loot
  • cloak of elvenkind
  • Mission pay: 15 stars each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Kalleth Ebonygrit, Dryali Tezbeth, and Tahu Tuala travelled to Lakeview for the bounty posted by Popoki, Mayor of Lakeview, for eliminating the giant frogs attacking the town's fisherfolk.
  • Travel to Lakeview was uneventful and took 3 days.
  • The mayor of Lakeview, Popoki, did not have information about the cause of the frogs' attacks.  He did promise the Freelancers a feast, if the frog legs were brought back in addition to their heads for the bounty.
  • The Freelancers had no trouble at all finding 6 giant frogs.  While fighting them, 3 more appeared as well as a giant toad.  These were all slain in short order.
  • Tahu dove into the lake to search for any clues about what prompted the giant frog attacks.  He found no clues, but did find a small chest.
    • Acquired: 2 healing potions, 1 greater healing potion, 1 potion of climbing.  
  • The Freelancers returned to Lakeview with the heads and frog legs, and collected a bounty of 100 stars and 100 eagles; the mayor doubled the bounty for the toad's head.  All feasted on frog legs.
  • The Freelancers spent an extra day in Lakeview to go out on the lake with the fishermen to ensure there were no more giant frog attacks.
  • In the absence of new attacks, the Freelancers travelled back to Cliffshadow.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.

  • Fine Branch, Dryali Tezbeth, Hu'eu Aukai, and Kaelani embarked on a mission posted by Bryseis Seere of the Cliffshadow Skyguard to investigate and hopefully locate the mysterious Jamie, who was backing the vandals drawing anti-Skyguard graffiti around Cliffshadow.
  • The Freelancers went to the boarding house of the miscreants Dryali and Fine Branch (and others) caught vandalizing the Skyguard Outpost on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.  They found out from the landlord Iphis, after producing 10 eagles for the information, the miscreants had moved on.  
  • The Freelancers checked with the Skyguard for more information, and sketched out a plan to draw out Jamie.
  • The Freelancers found out from the City Guard that the Temple of Serenity has been experiencing graffiti and vandalism.
  • After getting permission from the temple acolytes, the Freelancers staked out the Temple of Serenity, and caught 3 humans graffiti'ing the walls.  Dryali and Hu'eu dumped paint on their heads, the humans tried to run away, but Hu'eu successfully intimidated them into explaining how Jamie recruited people from the day labour markets.
  • Fine Branch spotted Jamie's pseudodragon familiar fleeing the scene.
  • The Temple of Serenity was pleased with this outcome, and paid 100 eagles to Hu'eu, who split it with the other Freelancers.
  • On Remitag, they discussed progress with Bryseis of the Skyguard, who was pleased with progress, but did not consider the mission fulfilled.  She paid a reduced fee of 100 eagles total and declared the mission was still considered posted.
  • Returned with this information to Freelancers the same day.
