- Sabah Banu, Manu, Minji, Ka Kekoa, Aranel Dumas-Nemaren, Peb Pebbles, and Vinegar Tom {Vin} accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
- The Freelancers travelled for 3 days during abysmal weather along the treeline to the northeast end of Mossey Lake. Peb's cart ended up mired in the mud and was left behind.
- While camping near Mossey Lake, the Freelancers heard an overnight battle between an owl gryphon and a giant elk to the northeast.
- The next morning, the Freelancers headed to the site of the battle, along the River of Dreams. They found a clearing with a giant elk carcass and signs of two owl gryphons.
- The owl gryphons were still guarding the carcass, and Peb was mauled by one of them, but survived. A brief but vicious battle ensued which ended with the Freelancers knocking out the owl gryphons.
- The Freelancers bound the owl gryphons so they cannot fly off, then searched for the nest. It had no eggs, so Peb and Sabah butchered the giant elk carcass to harvest meat and antlers.
- The Freelancers returned to the cart and then to Cliffshadow with the captured owl gryphons. The weather had improved, but the mud and wild gryphons slowed their journey to require 5 days' travel.
- Arnari Rilynn’sithek, leader of the Freelancers on Duquesne, declared the mission failed, and withheld the mission fee.
- The Freelancers traded the owl gryphons to House Liona; since they were a mated pair, the House was willing to provide two trained mounts in trade. Peb took a trained owl gryphon, and Vin took a trained martial eagle gryphon.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Okeanostag, last prime post-Periastron.
