  • Working with Arnari Rilynn'sithek, the five Freelancers Dryali Tezbeth, Tahu Tuala, Kalleth Ebonygrit, Meurig, and Terrance devised a plan to capture Jamie Mais-Quand and remit him to Bryseis Seere, based on the information gathered by other Freelancers in the prior days.
  • Once in position, Tahu and Kalleth discovered they were utterly unable to prevent Jamie from fleeing.
  • Dryali slew Jamie's pseudodragon familiar.
  • When Terrance, Tahu, and Meurig delayed Jamie from fleeing long enough for Dryali and Kalleth to catch up, Jamie did not fight them, but charmed Tahu and Meurig into fighting the others on his behalf.
  • Once cleared of the charm, the Freelancers captured Jamie by knocking his fleeing gryphon out of the sky.
  • The Freelancers stabilized Jamie and his gryphon – leaving the latter in Jamie's stable to recover – then searched Jamie's house to discover documents showing the Osprey is backing his vandalism activities.
  • The Freelancers delivered Jamie and his correspondence with the Osprey to Bryseis at the Skyguard Outpost, as well as proof the gryphon is doing well, and collected their fee of 200 eagles each.  
  • Returned to Freelancers the same afternoon, and reported to Arnari the involvement of the pirate ship.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  200 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Dryali Tezbeth and Tuala were assigned to watch Jamie for a couple days, while Bryseis Seere of the Skyguard gathered the support of the Pilot's Guild and diverse others to capture him.
  • Dryali and Tuala went to the Hall of Records in Pegasus Square to learn what they could about Jamie's house and street.  They ascertained his last name is Mais-Quand, which is not a Duquesne name.
  • Tuala and Dryali based themselves in the park on Horsefeather Street, noting anything interesting nearby, and kept watch on Jamie's House.  Tuala hid in a tree, putting his spyglass to good use.  From his behaviour, Jamie was not "spooked".
  • The next day, Dryali and Tuala returned to the park on Horsefeather Street.  Jamie took his gryphon out for a long exercise, initially alarming them.
  • Tuala and Dryali returned to Freelancers and gave a report to Arnari Rilynn'sithek, who informed them the Skyguard Outpost had been vandalized the night before.  Certainly, Jamie was obviously not "spooked".  She paid their fee of 90 eagles each (keeping the Freelancers' Cut).

  • 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 elemental airship for this travel is the Tugendhat, captained by Letitia Herohouse.

  • Einkil requested they delay their return for a day in order to carry a return package.  To fill the time, Tahu and Dryali accepted a mission from shipbuilder Nicholas Duskfinger to harvest fire beetle glands for a bounty of 50 eagles per.
  • Dryali and Tahu acquired 3 casks of Coldstream ice wine from a merchant in the Gemhallow Market.
  • The Freelancers harvested 18 glands and were paid a total of 90 stars.  The 9 star Freelancers' portion remained with the Gemhallow Tavern.
  • The next day, Einkil gave the Cliffshadow Freelancers a courier pouch for Arnari, and arranged passage back on the mechanical airship Kenleven, captained by Cenwood Stalesong.

  • 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)
