  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Dryali Tezbeth, Ondar Thundercaller, and Nix Frostshaper to take the mission from House Amabel to clear more rooms in that uninhabitable villa they'd purchased.
  • The three Freelancers entered the villa via the balcony the prior group had used before.
  • They prepped themselves, then Nix and Dryali looted items from the harpy's nest in the room to the northeast.  Two wraiths and a spectre manifested, which the Freelancers dispatched.
  • The Freelancers searched the room, which was devoid of furniture unless one wishes to count the harpy's nest.  They found more items, which they removed for future inspection.
  • Nix cast detect magic to help determine the next room, and they decided to take the same course of action in a bedroom to the northwest.  A blood ooze attacked them, which Ondar dispatched.
  • Nix's detect magic revealed that the structure had some protective aura of abjuration magic, which makes one wonder if someone or something is maintaining that.
  • Anyhow, the Freelancers searched this room, and found jewelry and a wonderfully tacky parasol, still intact, which Nix claimed.
  • Then they got bored and returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day, and since two rooms were cleared Damakaios paid them the mission fee of 225 eagles.
Loot
  • Jewelry
    • Silver necklace worth 50 eagles - sold
    • Gold & garnet brooch worth 75 eagles - sold
    • Gold chain bracelet of holding - Nix
    • Gold ring of grief adorned with jet & pearls - Dryali
    • ring of feather falling - Dryali
  • parasol of shielding - Nix
  • Weapons
    • Fine-quality daggar, with a garnet in the hilt, worth 50 eagles - sold
    • javelin of returning made of oak, gold chased on both shaft and steel blade - Ondar
  • Nightside Scimitar - Ondar
  • Mission pay: 225 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Cathance Lobdhain, Terrance, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Nix Frostshaper, Quelenna, and Kaikoa to stop reported owlbear constructs from disrupting fur production in the Commonweal town of Bati Kasabasi.  Freelancer help had been requested by Thruxl, the komodo Mayor of Bati Kasabasi.
  • The Freelancers took a full day to fly to Bati Kasabasi.  Travel was mostly without incident, although a lightning bolt startled some mounts.
  • Once arrived, the Freelancers took rooms at the local inn.  During dinner, Kaikoa bought a round of drinks for the house, upon which they learned from other tavern patrons about the looting clockwork owlbears that bothered the townspeople.
  • The following day, the Freelancers met with the Mayor, Thruxl, who had no further information than the tavern patrons.
  • The Freelancers consulted with the warehouse manager, Ukokhria, and got details of the attacks.  With her, they prepared a pit trap, as well as a bait for one of the owlbears to steal, so they can track it back to its origin.
  • Three clockwork owlbears arrived that day, and the Freelancers destroyed two.  They let the third one grab the bait so it could be followed.
  • The Freelancers took the afternoon to follow the remaining clockwork owlbear to a cave at the base of the western Rim.  They noted the location carefully for later and returned to Bati Kasabasi.
  • Investigation of the two destroyed owlbear constructs revealed they were from the same maker as the constructs that had been attacking caravans in the Vathia Estia Tunnels.  The Freelancers took the parts to examine upon return.
  • Thruxl paid the Freelancers their fee of 250 eagles each, but was unhappy they'd let one of the owlbears go.  He sent the Freelancers back to Ripa Daneo with a request for a followup mission.
  • Upon return the Freelancers consulted Alvyn Ricker Nackle, who confirmed the constructs are all from the same maker.  Alvyn paid them 900 eagles for the parts, and Damakaios was pleased to have gotten a lead on this mysterious constructs business.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, 2nd prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Materials: assorted construct parts worth 900 eagles
  • Misison pay: 250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Dryali Tezbeth, Tuala, Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Hikawera, and Nix Frostshaper to eliminate whatever was attacking travellers in the lower portion of the Vathia Estia tunnel road.  Freelancer help had been requested by Stathou Ragovir of the Truetunnel clan, the dverg liaison for the Vathia Estia Tunnel Authority.
  • The Freelancers took a day to fly on courser pegasi to the crater end of the Vathia Estia tunnels.  Once there, they secured rooms and stabling at two of the inns.  Tuala and Ana learned where to look from carters making frequent use of the tunnel.
  • The next morning, the Freelancers travelled half a day up the tunnel then peeled off, deliberately inviting attack.
  • They were not disappointed; the Freelancers were attacked by 2 spawned shinobi and 5 grue.  Hikawera and Tuala were gravely injured by the shinobi's initial attacks.  After an intense but brief battle involving perhaps some recklessly destructive spells for an underground cavern – the creatures were slain.
  • The Freelancers searched for more creatures, but found none.  They confirmed the attacked travellers were eaten, and collected coin and items of worth from the caverns.  
  • After another night at the crater end of the tunnels, the Freelancers took a day to fly back to Ripa Daneo.  Upon their return, Damakaios paid them 225 eagles for the mission fee.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Okeanostag, 1st prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Coin:  assorted coins worth 195 eagles
  • Curios worth 25 eagles each:
    • Statuette made of bone
    • Dented silver ewer
    • Copper plate with nice detailing
    • Small mirror, set in a painted wooden frame
    • Brown velvet mask with gold and copper stitching
  • ring of water walking - Tuala
  • adamantine chain mail - sold to Freelancers for 300 stars
  • slippers of spider climbing - sold to Freelancers for 500 stars
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Manu, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, and Maghris Bloomfield the 18th accepted a mission from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, to investigate again whether the grblin caves to the north had been reoccupied.
  • The Freelancers journeyed to Marshfork without incident, four long days' travel on courser pegasi.
  • At The Cantankerous Goose, the Freelancers listened for rumours of grblins, but news was light.  Lorcan heard word of game scarcity to the northeast, but the cave is to the northwest.
  • The Freelancers confirmed the cave in question is abandoned, but in the process startled several swarms of bats, most of which they killed.
  • Concerned by work of game scarcity, the Freelancers flew further north and checked the other cave for activity, which Manu did see.
  • The Freelancers reported their findings to Casimir, who paid a bonus 50 eagles to their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Travel back was also without incident.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Remitag, 1st prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles each (10 eagles each to Freelancers)

  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Minji, Ka Kekoa, Dominic Holyarm, and Kairos Greybeard accepted a mission from Kailani of House Liona to acquire wild gryphon eggs from the Northridge Mountains, north of Three Rivers, to augment the House breeding lines.
  • The Freelancers doubled up on Ohenui, Ka's flying bear, and Catherine, Kairos' pegasus, and travelled to Three Rivers without incident.  Once there they spent the evening in The Mule's Rest tavern, listening for gossip about who and where anyone had encountered gryphons to the north.
  • After a day and a half travel upriver, the Freelancers found two martial gryphon nests and acquired 18 eggs before one of the martial gryphons returned.
  • The Freelancers flew off as fast as they could, and the martial gryphon gave chase.  As they fled, the group tried to distract it and warn it off, but merely slowed it.  After they crossed some boundary known only to the gryphon, it fell back and let them go.
  • That night as they camped, Lorcan and Dominic were so wound up from their adventure, their jumpiness on watch caused the entire group to oversleep, and they returned to Three Rivers very late.
  • House Liona paid a 10% premium for the eggs, rewarded the Freelancers with a bald eagle gryphon, and covered the Freelancer fee.
  • Minji diced with Dominic to win the gryphon.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, last prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  bald eagle gryphon gelding (Minji), 1170 eagles (split between Lorcan, Ka, Dominic, Kairos)
