  • Tuala, Kalleth Ebonygrit, Cathance Lobdhain, Osric Torunn, and Terrance took a mission from Korfel Goltorah, leader of the Children of Āhua town Mantzur, to find and stop "mean" dryads attacking the Children of Āhua.  
  • The Freelancers traveled from Cliffshadow to Mantzur without incident, and consulted with Korfel.  He had very little information, as the people getting attacked who'd survived had been charmed, and thus emerged from the experience disoriented.
  • The Freelancers spent the night in Mantzur and began a search to the south and west the next day.
  • Two dryads attacked the Freelancers in a glade, with the help of four large awakened needle shrubs.  Attempts at conversation failed, so the Dryads were slain.
    • Acquired:  1 cloak of Elvenkind, and a Hag's token.
  • They camped in the glade for the night and returned to Mantzur the next day, Osric carrying the Hag's token, which the Freelancers failed to recognize as such.
  • On reporting back to Korfel, he told them the charm is a hag's token and destroyed it.  He also cast dispel magic on Osric.  The Freelancers collected a fee of 150 eagles each, and were sent back to Cliffshadow with a scroll from Korfel to Arnari Rilynn'sithek requesting help with the hag.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Petraag, 2nd prime post-Fulcrum.
Loot
  • cloak of elvenkind
  • Mission pay: 15 stars each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Kalleth Ebonygrit, Dryali Tezbeth, and Tahu Tuala travelled to Lakeview for the bounty posted by Popoki, Mayor of Lakeview, for eliminating the giant frogs attacking the town's fisherfolk.
  • Travel to Lakeview was uneventful and took 3 days.
  • The mayor of Lakeview, Popoki, did not have information about the cause of the frogs' attacks.  He did promise the Freelancers a feast, if the frog legs were brought back in addition to their heads for the bounty.
  • The Freelancers had no trouble at all finding 6 giant frogs.  While fighting them, 3 more appeared as well as a giant toad.  These were all slain in short order.
  • Tahu dove into the lake to search for any clues about what prompted the giant frog attacks.  He found no clues, but did find a small chest.
    • Acquired: 2 healing potions, 1 greater healing potion, 1 potion of climbing.  
  • The Freelancers returned to Lakeview with the heads and frog legs, and collected a bounty of 100 stars and 100 eagles; the mayor doubled the bounty for the toad's head.  All feasted on frog legs.
  • The Freelancers spent an extra day in Lakeview to go out on the lake with the fishermen to ensure there were no more giant frog attacks.
  • In the absence of new attacks, the Freelancers travelled back to Cliffshadow.
  • Returned to Freelancers in Cliffshadow on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Tumultuous.
Loot
  • liquids: 2 healing potions, 1 greater healing potion, 1 potion of climbing
  • Bounty:  100 stars, 100 eagles (10% to Freelancers)

  • Fine Branch, Dryali Tezbeth, Hu'eu Aukai, and Kaelani embarked on a mission posted by Bryseis Seere of the Cliffshadow Skyguard to investigate and hopefully locate the mysterious Jamie, who was backing the vandals drawing anti-Skyguard graffiti around Cliffshadow.
  • The Freelancers went to the boarding house of the miscreants Dryali and Fine Branch (and others) caught vandalizing the Skyguard Outpost on Okeanostag, 3rd prime post-Periastron.  They found out from the landlord Iphis, after producing 10 eagles for the information, the miscreants had moved on.  
  • The Freelancers checked with the Skyguard for more information, and sketched out a plan to draw out Jamie.
  • The Freelancers found out from the City Guard that the Temple of Serenity has been experiencing graffiti and vandalism.
  • After getting permission from the temple acolytes, the Freelancers staked out the Temple of Serenity, and caught 3 humans graffiti'ing the walls.  Dryali and Hu'eu dumped paint on their heads, the humans tried to run away, but Hu'eu successfully intimidated them into explaining how Jamie recruited people from the day labour markets.
  • Fine Branch spotted Jamie's pseudodragon familiar fleeing the scene.
  • The Temple of Serenity was pleased with this outcome, and paid 100 eagles to Hu'eu, who split it with the other Freelancers.
  • On Remitag, they discussed progress with Bryseis of the Skyguard, who was pleased with progress, but did not consider the mission fulfilled.  She paid a reduced fee of 100 eagles total and declared the mission was still considered posted.
  • Returned with this information to Freelancers the same day.
Loot
  • 100 eagles reward (split)
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Tuala, Dryali Tezbeth, Tahu Tuala, and Kalleth Ebonygrit took a mission from Taleisin to clear out the Snake-worshipping kobolds which had established themselves a couple hours west of Orderly Stones Monastery.
  • The Freelancers travelled to the entrance in good order and arrived same day.
  • At the entrance Dryali provoked a pair of giant weasels, which the party slew.  Tahu explored the tunnel beyond, triggering a loud alarm.
  • Despite the loud alarm, the Freelancers found nothing alive in the cave beyond, other than some rats in a pit trap.  However they did find a shrine to the Snake with much coin on an altar.
  • Proceeding past the shrine to the Snake, the Freelancers dealt with an amazing number of annoying traps.  Once past those, they finally found a large cave with the kobolds waiting for them and prepared for battle.
  • The Freelancers wiped out all but one of the kobolds they encountered.  All were warriors or inventors.  They did not pursue any non-combatant kobolds who might have escaped through a small tunnel that Kalleth found.
