  • Kaikoa, Kaelani, Dryali Tezbeth, and Manu took a mission from Church of Storms to locate a meeting of Daystar worshippers.  Part of the mission was to avoid linking Church of Storms to their actions.
  • Kaelani prevailed upon the other Freelancers to visit Church of Ua.  They spoke to Downpour Anuhea, who had not heard of this activity.
  • The Freelancers headed towards the Park, and observed persons proselytizing others to attend a meeting of Daystar worshippers in the Park.  Manu and Kaikoa got details of the meeting and arranged to attend.
  • I cannot believe I am writing this record.  Who worships the Daystar?  The gods will become riled.
  • The Freelancers attended the meeting, except for Dryali as not even persons foolish enough to worship the Daystar would believe a Dark elf would partake of such folly.  Dryali climbed a tree to watch.
  • The meeting was led by persons in regalia of cheaply-dyed yellow leather.  Gillian seemed the leader, with Mansel.  They quickly discovered Dryali and coerced him into joining the meeting, which appeared to emphasize sales of a lotion.
  • Gillian dispersed the meeting, and directed two followers, Carlos and Sebastian, to detain Dryali.  He drew his weapon, but was paralyzed by her.
  • A melee ensued, in which Manu attempted to steal some of the lotion, and Kaelani, Carlos, and Sebastian were struck down.  Gillian and Mansel fled, taking most of the lotion.
  • Manu and Kaikoa stabilized the downed individuals, then Manu returned to Freelancers Tavern to retrieve goodberries from Sovelai to revive the fallen.  Dryali used detect magic to learn the lotion had both abjuration and enchantment magic.
  • The Freelancers returned to Church of Ua, where Downpour Anuhea healed the injured Kaelani, accepted a sample of the lotion for investigation, and took charge of Carlos and Sebastian.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day.  Delivered lotion samples to Arnari Rilynn'sithek, who paid their fee of 90 eagles each in lieu of contacting Church of Storms directly.
Loot
  • Mission Pay: 100 eagles (10% to Freelancers)
