  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Fine Branch, Cathance Lobdhain, and Tai Ho'onani to the Garuda town of Kavali to determine why plants are attacking young Garuda.  Freelancer help had been requested by Sokullu, the Garuda leader in Kavali.
  • The Freelancers flew southwest to Kavali without incident, arriving late afternoon. The town guard admitted them and gave them directions to the inn and Sokullu.
  • The Freelancers learned from Sokullu that the attacking plants were ambulatory poisonous vines.  They interviewed a Wind sagani and two garuda who were attacked by the vines to learn more details and also where to go.
  • The following day, The Freelancers found three of these ambulatory vines near an old tree.  When they attacked the vines, a mysterious green lady emerged from the tree and joined the fight.
  • When the Freelancers defeated the green lady, a vine tried to revive her with the tree, forcing the Freelancers to destroy her and the tree.
  • The Freelancers did what investigation they could while Fine Branch's spirit guardians destroyed the tree.  In the end they discovered magic items entangled in its roots.
  • The Freelancers returned to Kavali and Sokullu paid their fee of 250 eagles each.  They decided to purchase 5 casks of Kavali's excellent mead for Freelancers Tavern for 50 eagles each, which I am drinking right now.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Oriotag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Coin:  assorted stars, eagles, cats worth 872 eagles
  • eyes of the eagle - Fine Branch
  • quiver of Ehlonna - Tai
  • gem of brightness - Cathance
  • Mission pay:  250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, dispatched Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Tahu Tuala, Hikawera,  Lorilla Anahera Amaia Turen Itu {Ana}, Tai Ho'onani, and Quelenna to skylith Leander to help the Redwind centaur tribe determine what was preying on their herds.  Freelancer help had been requested by Kleio, leader of the Redwind tribe.
  • The Freelancers took passage to skylith Leander on the Mallory, captained by the half-elf Shamoun.  They arrived after 5 days' travel in Hoiho, Leander's seasonal festival town.
  • The Freelancers quickly located the Redwind encampment and spoke to Kleio, their leader, about the predations on their horse herds.  
  • The Redwind herds were 3 days' travel northwest of Hoiho and Kleio deputized Mnestra, a herd guard, as their guide.  She also loaned three horses, for Dryali, Tahu, and Quelenna.
  • The Freelancers travelled to the Redwind horse herds, where another attack had recently occurred.  The slain horse was clearly culled by vicious but unfamiliar predators.
  • Ana speculated the predators had been staying within the herd, so the Freelancers with flying mounts scouted over the herds for signs of unusual behaviour.  They quickly spotted "horses" which were not horses, but predators.
  • The herd guards separated the actual horses from these horse "horrors" as well as they could, and the Freelancers fought and slew seven such creatures, but not before Tai was gravely wounded.  Tahu and Quelenna were also badly injured.
  • Ana and Dryali also caused a stampede by casting four shatters.  Tahu patched everyone up while the Redwind centaurs tried to quell the stampede.
  • The herd guards were happy to have the predators removed, but unpleased at the horses injured and dead from the stampede. 
  • After overnighting with the guards, the Freelancers returned to Hoiho, and Kleio paid 300 eagles each for the mission.  They secured return passage departing the next day on the Lamberton, captained by the half-elf Tele.
  • Upon arrival at Freelancers Tavern, the group paid the Freelancers Cut to Damakaios.  Tai and Fine Branch presented casks of koumiss as their exotic alcohol.  Koumiss is an acquired taste that none of us wish to acquire, so Damakaios put it in the front of the tavern.
  • Returned to Freelancer Tavern Fysitag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  300 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Murai, Sabah, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Dominic Holyarm, and Maghris Bloomfield the 18th accepted a mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to find the source of the giant bees that have been witnessed in the meadows to the south.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Mantzur in two days without incident.
  • In Mantzur, the Freelancers got more details from Korfel.  They also interviewed two Children of Āhua who'd been harassed by aggressive giant bees in the meadows to the south.
  • The next day, Korfel consulted with Mama Bear; but she reported no hive of giant bees in her territory.
  • The Freelancers headed to the indicated meadows and Lorcan, mounted on Bandit, was pursued by two giant bees.
  • The other Freelancers checked out the meadow the bees had been in.  At this point Murai was overcome by pollen and returned to Mantzur.  Dominic found a place where plate armour had been and walked off.  
  • Once Lorcan rejoined them, the Freelancers tracked the plate armour Dominic had noticed, and encountered an armour full of bees escorted by three giant bees.  Lorcan cast sleep on two giant bees, Dominic casts animal friendship on the third, and the Freelancers incapacitated the armour.
  • Using beast bond, Dominic convinced his friend the giant bee to lead the other two back to their hive, then come back.  In the process he discovered the hive location.
  • Dominic's friend the giant bee took almost a full day to return.  Meanwhile the Freelancers discovered the armour was full of thorny vines and honeycomb.
  • Mantzur reacted poorly to the visitation by the giant bee Dominic had befriended.  Korfel discovered the armour is powered by hag magic, and questioned whether the Freelancers had actually eliminated the hag plaguing Mantzur at the beginning of the year.  He still paid their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • The Freelancers left for Cliffshadow the next day, bringing the giant bee.  Travel was two days without incident.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Petraag, 2nd prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Battered plate armour (worth 750 eagles)
  • Mission pay:  100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)
