  • Terrance, Kaelani, and Hikawera, Broo'an, and Cathance accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up aberrations along Pirates River.
  • Broo'an's superior woodsmanship meant the Freelancers travelled cross country to the Pirates Dream river fork in 2 days, despite having to detour around some dire wolves.
  • The Freelancers initially searched up the Pirates River for froggoths but only found half-eaten corpses.  They then found tracks of giant webbed feet like a duck, and followed them upstream until they spotted an enormous goose in the river.
  • The Freelancers attacked the goose only to discover it had 4 extra heads, which grew back when not burned.  It was joined by two similar goose monstrosities.  They still slew all three geese.
  • Broo'an and Hikawera plucked the three slain geese.  Then Hikawera and Cathance searched for and found a nest, which had 9 eggs.  Hikawera shattered the nest and Cathance discovered the geese had been hiding valuables with the eggs.
    • Acquired:  boots of elvenkind, +1 shield, instrument of the bards: mac-fuirmidh cittern, +1 hand crossbow, +1 bloodwell vial, 1 banded agate, 1 blue quartz, 1 hematite, 1 moss agate, 1 rhodochrosite, 1 lapis lazuli, 1 tiger eye, 1 turquoise, 400 eagles.
  • The Freelancers returned to Cliffshadow without incident and sold the goose feathers for 200 eagles.
