  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Ka Kekoa, and Peb Pebbles accepted the mission from the Church of Ua to capture a water elemental for use in creating a Blessed Fountain.  The Downpour Anuhea graciously loaned Freelancers an Elemental Flask of Water for this purpose.
  • The Freelancers flew to Mantzur to consult with Korfel Goltorah, leader of the the Children of Āhua there, on where best to find a water elemental.
  • The next day, following Korfel's instructions, the Freelancers went upriver on the eastern fork of the Haven River until they came to a pool populated with a mix of water elementals and mist mephits.
  • The Freelancers provoked one of the mist mephits and captured a water elemental who responded to the provocation, then fled back to Mantzur.
  • The mama bear who had been re-wilded in the Haven Hills from Freelancer stables has produced more cubs, and the Freelancers persuaded Korfel to allow some playtime with the bear cubs.  This persuasion was easier since Ka's mount, Ohenui, is already one of her progeny.
  • The Freelancers returned the Elemental Flask of Water to Anuhea and were paid the mission fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Sieratag, last prime post-Planting.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  100 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Manu, Minji, Maghris Bloomfield the 18th, Peb Pebbles, Carmen Granau, and Vinegar Tom {Vin} accepted the ongoing mission from the wizard Gwidion to clean up altered wildlife along Pirates River.
  • The Freelancers took 2 days to fly directly from Cliffshadow to the river feeding Mossey Lake and camped there for the night.
  • The next day, they found no mutants on Pirates Dream river, but as soon as the Freelancers started searching up Pirates River, they were stalked by two hydra geese, which they slew.
  • The Freelancers harvested the feathers from the hydra geese, then tracked them back to their nest, which had 3 eggs within, and filth-encrusted remnants of an adventurer.
    • Acquired:  600 eagles' worth of feathers, a pouch with 50 eagles, 1 short sword in bad condition, and adamantine chain mail.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, last prime post-Planting.  To the horror of us all, the Freelancers brought the eggs back when they returned.
  • After a debate with Arnari Rilynn’sithek and each other, the decision was taken to sell 2 eggs to the Academy of Magic, and send one to Mantzur to determine if the hydra geese were a breeding population.
  • The following day Minji, Manu, and Maghris spoke to Garth Nimblefingers, Dean of the Academy of Magic, who paid 300 eagles for 2 of the eggs.
Loot
  • Coin: 50 eagles
  • 600 eagles' worth of feathers (split)
  • 3 hydra goose eggs (2 sold for 300 eagles, 1 disposed of by Freelancers)
  • 1 short sword in bad condition (Peb)
  • adamantine chain mail (Carmen)
  • Mission pay:  90 eagles each; oil of slipperiness (Maghris); potion of fire breath (Vin); potion of hill giant strength (Manu); potion of poison (Carmen); potion of cold resistance (Peb); potion of water breathing (Minji)

  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Dominic Holyarm, Meurig, Maghris Bloomfield the 18th, and Peb Pebbles accepted the mission from Lady Sonya of House Drogo to deal with her garden's problem of aggressive rosebushes.
  • The Freelancers visited House Drogo, only to be told by Lady Sonya that the garden is so aggressive people cannot enter without being attacked; and informed by the Rock sagani gardener Boleck that he's been fertilizing the roses with leftover fish.
  • Upon their entry into the garden many plants attacked the Freelancers, not just the rosebushes.  The Freelancers killed the awakened plants.  As collateral damage, which they'd told Lady Sonya to expect, about ⅓ of the garden was burned and ¼ of it subjected to erupting earth.
  • Upon investigation, Lorcan confirmed the problem is from the magical pollution upstream of Lakeview, and recommended not burying fish from there under the plants.  Peb offered to help with fertilizer.
  • House Drogo paid the Freelancers the mission fee of 100 eagles each.  Upon their return to Freelancers Tavern, Meurig convinced Arnari Rilynn’sithek that since this cleanup was a pollution mission, they should get an uncommon potion each.  The potions issued were:  oil of slipperiness, to Dominic; philter of love, to Lorcan and Meurig; potion of water breathing, to Maghris and Peb.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern the same day.
Loot
  • 100 eagles' worth of iris pollen blinding powder Lorcan
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% cut to Freelancers); oil of slipperiness (Dominic); philter of love, (Lorcan and Meurig); potion of water breathing, (Maghris and Peb)

  • Minji, Ka Kekoa, Aranel Neras-Dumaren, and Petrichor accepted the mission from Waiola Vaina, Typhoon of the Church of Storms, to investigate who in Stormhaven was selling Daystar lotion.  From interrogation of the Wolfkiss miscreants, they knew a bartender at Twin Lamps tavern was the middleman.
  • Using their flying mounts, the Freelancers travelled in 5 days without incident to Stormhaven, and took rooms at The Gallant Gryphon.
  • The following evening, the Freelancers visited Twin Lamps and resolved to enjoy the ambience whilst keeping watch.  Unfortunately Minji drank overmuch, and made an ass of herself, drawing much attention.
  • Ka observed a tanned human woman dropping off a large bottle of lotion at the bar.  He convinced Minji to pester the woman, which resulted in her exiting the tavern early.
  • Petrichor tailed the woman, and was not seen, but lost the trail in Stormhaven's passages.
  • The next day the Freelancers cased the neighbourhood surrounding Twin Lamps in search of the woman, to no avail.  They spend time at a different tavern that evening, The Golden Thread, to avoid the appearance of targeting Twin Lamps.
  • The following day the Freelancers used their flying mounts to scout the area around Stormhaven, and found a small trail, but too large to be a game trail, heading west.  Following it, they discovered a well-defended compound housing many Daystar cultist heretics, as well as an alchemical facility to generate their vile lotion.
  • Entirely outnumbered, the Freelancers immediately removed themselves from Stormhaven and returned to Cliffshadow, which was again 5 days' travel without incident.
  • Upon their arrival in Cliffshadow, the Freelancers reported their findings to Adrian Bryant of Church of Storms, who was displeased at this news but paid their mission fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Rochtag, 3rd prime post-Planting.
Loot
  • Mission pay: 100 eagles each (10% cut to Freelancers)

  • Dominic Holyarm, Aranel Neras-Dumaren, and Shimni Ioelena Qinyarus accepted the standing mission to hunt hippogryph eggs for House Aldous.
  • With Shimni on a broom of flying, and Dominic and Aranel on Dominics gryphon, they travelled to Haven in 3 days without incident.
  • While in Haven, a large storm hit, requiring the Freelancers to sojourn at The Local Flavour inn for 3 nights and 4 days.
  • After the weather cleared, the Freelancers went searching for hippogryph nests between the Cat Tail rivers, per directions from the locals.  The directions were challenging because of storm damage, and they encountered a bear the size of a house.
  • 5 days later they returned to Cliffshadow, each with a new mount:  Shimni on a griffinfly, Dominic a dire giant bat, and Aranel a courser hippogryph.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Petraag, 2nd prime post-Planting.
Loot
  • griffinfly (Shimni)
  • courser hippogryph (Aranel)

  • Mia Taumata, Dominic Holyarm, Maghris Bloomfield the 18th, Petrichor, and Carmen Granau accepted the standing mission to hunt gryphon eggs for House Liona.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Orderly Stones Monastery, to discover if the monks there had experienced any trouble with gryphons.  Taleisin, the monastery's abbott, recommended they search to the northwest.
  • After a day of searching northwest of the monastery, Maghris used speak with animals to query a chipmunk, who indicated the Freelancers should look northward.
  • The Freelancers searched to the north and found a well-guarded nest full of nestlings.
  • Methodically searching the surrounding area, the Freelancers found a large nest guarded by a lone golden eagle gryphon, with two clutches of eggs.  They incapacitated the gryphon and raided 13 eggs.
  • House Liona exchanged a golden eagle gryphon and 150 eagles for the eggs, and covered the Freelancer fee.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Fysitag, 1st prime post-Planting.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  Golden eagle gryphon (Petrichor), 150 eagles (split between Mia, Dominic, Maghris, and Carmen
