- Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, sent Fine Branch and Cathance Lobdhain to investigate Waypoint Tickler for Daystar lotion and cult activity. Freelancer help had been requested by Tempest Addis of the Ripa Daneo Church of Storms.
- The Freelancers took passage on the Traviscarter, a fire elemental airship captained by Anjanette Zanthra Orpen Albafen, a Maker gnome. They travelled for 14 tags through clear skies, with a stopover at Waypoint Whim, to arrive at Waypoint Tickler on the very day of Periastron.
- As the Traviscarter approached the waypoint docks, the airship was ambushed by two air elementals bent on chaos and destruction. The Freelancers vanquished them, but not before Fine Branch was gravely injured and Cathance was punted off the airship.
- Conversation with Oparapa Jardin, the Holder dwarf waypoint stationmaster, revealed that the Waypoint had already dispatched a messenger to request Freelancer help. The Freelancers explained they had arrived in response to that request and collected the mission fee of 200 eagles each.
- The Freelancers, not having observed any signs of Daystar cult activity, withdrew to their rooms, where Fine Branch sent to Damakaios about the encounter with the air elementals and gave notice that the mission request was inbound.
- The next morning, at the request of Oparapa, the Freelancers scouted the south side of the waypoint in search of air elementals. They also searched for Daystar cultists or lotion, but Fine Branch's locate object showed it was only in the warehouse.
- That afternoon, the Freelancers were ready and waiting when the next airship arrived at the waypoint, but the arrival had no troubles from air elementals or otherwise.
- The Freelancers helped unload, which gave Fine Branch an opportunity to run detect magic and locate the crate of Daystar lotion in the warehouse. They asked the quartermaster, a Cloud elf named Amara, about it, and she noted it was not on any manifest. Cathance persuaded Amara to allow them to remove the crate and thus neutralize the dangers it posed to the waypoint.
- 4 tags later – 3 local days – the Freelancers departed Waypoint Tickler on the Myriostos, an air elemental airship captained by Kamwangi, a quinametzin. Travel to Ripa Daneo took 14 tags through chaotic weather but was otherwise uneventful.
- Damakaios paid Cathance and Fine Branch 225 eagles each for the Church of Storms mission, and collected the Freelancers Cut of 20 eagles each for the Waypoint mission.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 2nd prime post-Periastron.
