  • Dryali Tezbeth, Kaelani, Hikawera, and Manu took a mission from Bertana Plumblossom of Haven to investigate the "rowdy" trees which had been interfering with the harvest in Haven, mostly because they wished to discover what that could possibly mean before the phenomenon faded out.
  • The party of Freelancers rented a mule & cart for their travel, and had an uneventful trip to Haven.  They arrived at noon.
  • Upon arrival, they visited Bertana Plumblossom, a female Mikumwes halfling, who had requested the contract from the Freelancers Guild.  She explained that her workers have been attacked by active shrubs which would chase them off.  She also suggested lodging for the night at The Local Flavour.
  • The Freelancers investigated the edges of the Plumblossom apple orchards, and found the shrubs in question.  Hikawera antagonized one of the shrubs with produce flame, and a battle between humanoid and shrub ensued.  In the end, an ambulatory beech tree appeared, doing its best to whomp Kaelani, but it too was defeated.
  • Since the Freelancers killed all the "rowdy" plants, they looked for more clues as to why, but found nothing.
  • A visit to the tavern was intended to reveal what local event predicated the rowdy trees, but instead Manu got so drunk the other Freelancers pranked him.
  • Lacking information, the Freelancers returned to Bertana in the morning.  She was happy with the destruction of the shrubs and paid the fee of 100 eagles each.  However, she also had no further information on events that could have caused the plant life to attack.
  • On the way out of Haven, the party of Freelancers stopped at a local distillery and Manu acquired 2 barrels of pear cider, which they brought back to Cliffshadow with the cart.  
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.
  • Upon receipt of the above report, Arnari declared the mission to clear bloodhawks harassing travellers on the road to the Children of Āhua town Mantzur urgent.
  • Manu sold one barrel of pear cider to Freelancers Tavern for 50% profit.

  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)
