- Naranjos Lafloriance, Ripa Daneo Freelancers Guild deputy, dispatched Dryali Tezbeth, Fine Branch, Tai Ho'onani, and Kaikoa to Waypoint Congress, to determine the disposition of the Daystar cultist lotion that had been shipped there. Freelancer help had been requested by Tempest Addis of the Church of Storms on Commerce.
- The Freelancers met Tempest Addis and requested funds for protection against Daystar elementals. The Tempest paid an extra 400 eagles which the Freelancers used to acquire 4 potions of radiant resistance.
- The next day, the Freelancers took passage on the Genovali, a wind elemental airship homed in Ripa Daneo captained by the half-elf Tanquary. They travelled for 6 tags through mostly clear skies, to arrive at Waypoint Congress on Okeanostag, 2nd prime post-Tumultuous.
- Fine Branch scouted the resort town on her hippogryph Nighthawk, quickly determining relatively widespread presence of Daystar lotion. The others learned from conversations that the Happy Endings massage parlour was the likely source of it.
- Kaikoa and Fine Branch posed as a couple wanting a massage to book an appointment at Happy Endings, and confirmed the likelihood of Daystar cultists there. Upon returning to their rooms, Fine Branch cast clairvoyance to learn the masseurs for couples were using Daystar lotion as part of the massage and gently encouraging customers to try worshipping the Daystar.
- The following day, Fine Branch showed up to the massage appointment alone and accidentally broke the Daystar lotion bottle, so the Freelancers can observe what the cultists did. They learned that the cultists were storing their supply in a lead container.
- That night, the Freelancers picked the locks, and Fine Branch brought the container back to their rooms. Upon opening it, they encountered a Daystar elemental and destroyed it. They then removed the lotion and returned the chest.
- The next morning, the cultists, unaware they were being followed, made their way to a cave in which they were manufacturing the Daystar lotion. The Freelancers, surprised upon this discovery, challenged the cultists, hoping to capture the warlocks making the lotion.
- The Freelancers slew the cultists, but not before Kaikoa and Mordant were gravely injured, and Fine Branch and Tai were badly injured. Fine Branch wanted to revivify and capture the warlocks, but they burst into Daystar elementals instead, which were negated by darkness cast by Dryali's intriguing Darkglobe device.
- The stationmaster, Arnald Glasscloud, saw to the disposition of the Happy Endings massage parlour, and worked with the Freelancers to track down and assist anyone affected by the Daystar lotion they were using.
- The Freelancers missed their passage back and departed a day later on the Strazzulla, a mechanical airship captained by coblygnome Sipi Alonserai Kaporon. They travelled for 7 tags through clear skies.
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
