  • Minji, Dominic Holyarm, Maghris Bloomfield the 18th, Aranel Dumas-Numaren, and Leafshadow accepted the mission from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, to confirm whether caves to the north had been reoccupied by grblins.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Marshfork without incident.
  • After checking with the Mayor if any grblins had been spotted, the Freelancers travelled north to the cave in question.  During overnight camps, they heard wolves during watch.
  • When the Freelancers arrived at the cave, they were insufficiently discreet, and the grblins chased them off.  Battle was avoided because Minji led the grblins away from the others.
  • The Freelancers met up at their camp from the prior evening, but Dominic insisted on moving to a safer location.  They were still attacked by grblins, who they slew.  Dominic befriended one of the grblins' dire wolf mounts.
    • Acquired:  130 cats, 1 bloodstone worth 50 eagles, 2 shortbows & quivers, 2 scimitars, and a carved set of bone dice worth 25 eagles.
  • When the Freelancers returned to Marshfork to report to the Mayor, the watch sounded alarm horns when the dire wolf was sighted.
  • The Mayor paid the Freelancers their fee of 150 eagles each, but also provided a mission request to Arnari for Freelancers to clear it out.
  • The Freelancers returned to Cliffshadow, camping out in the open until they arrived at Cliffgate, since the dire wolf wanted to bite people and needed some training before it could be stabled.
  • Upon their arrival at Freelancers Tavern, Tomtom collected the Freelancers Cut.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, 1st prime post-Periastron.
Loot
  • Coin: 130 cats
  • 50-eagle gems:  1 bloodstone 
  • Engraved dice worth 25 eagles
  • 2 scimitars, 2 shortbows (sold for 45 eagles total)
  • Mission Pay: 150 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Sabah Banu, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Dominic Holyarm, Vinegar Tom, and Peb Pebbles agreed to travel to Hindmarsh for House Ha'aheo and do something about the bullywugs attacking and possibly capturing people in the nearby marsh.
  • The Freelancers travelled to Hindmarsh in 10 days without incident.  One the way, Peb was very reluctant to pay for inn stays, preferring to risk sleeping in their cart on the streets.  Once in Hindmarsh the Freelancers took rooms at The Anchor & Plough, pressuring Peb to stay with the group.
  • At loose ends for half a day, the Freelancers listened in the tavern to hear rumours about problems in the marsh.  Lorcan, Sabah, and Peb attended the fights in the gladiator arena, where Sabah and Lorcan heard rumours of two pirate airships, the Osprey and the Chlorinde.  
  • The following day the Freelancers met Vaughn Quickrein, House Ha'aheao's warehouse manager, who sent them into the marsh under the guidance of Hirrathak.
  • Their first night in the marsh proper, Peb realized the overnight croaking they heard is probably a language, and Sabah confirmed it.
  • The next day the group encountered a bullywug ambush.  While Hirrathak took cover, the Freelancers slew 4 bullywugs and a giant toad.  They were unable to determine from where in the marsh the bullywugs hailed.  Acquired:  75 eagles, and a jade statue of a frog worth 25 eagles.
  • Hirrathak led the Freelancers back to Hindmarsh, where Vaughn paid the fee of 150 eagles each.  
  • Travel back to Cliffshadow took 10 days without incident.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Nemostag, 3rd prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Coin:  75 eagles
  • jade statue of a frog worth 25 eagles
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)

  • Manu, Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, and Maghris Bloomfield the 18th accepted a mission from Casimir Lightforger, Mayor of Marshfork, to investigate again whether the grblin caves to the north had been reoccupied.
  • The Freelancers journeyed to Marshfork without incident, four long days' travel on courser pegasi.
  • At The Cantankerous Goose, the Freelancers listened for rumours of grblins, but news was light.  Lorcan heard word of game scarcity to the northeast, but the cave is to the northwest.
  • The Freelancers confirmed the cave in question is abandoned, but in the process startled several swarms of bats, most of which they killed.
  • Concerned by work of game scarcity, the Freelancers flew further north and checked the other cave for activity, which Manu did see.
  • The Freelancers reported their findings to Casimir, who paid a bonus 50 eagles to their fee of 100 eagles each.
  • Travel back was also without incident.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Remitag, 1st prime post-Cat.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  150 eagles each (10 eagles each to Freelancers)

  • Lorcan Puddingrass Pasternack Tuinstra, Minji, Ka Kekoa, Dominic Holyarm, and Kairos Greybeard accepted a mission from Kailani of House Liona to acquire wild gryphon eggs from the Northridge Mountains, north of Three Rivers, to augment the House breeding lines.
  • The Freelancers doubled up on Ohenui, Ka's flying bear, and Catherine, Kairos' pegasus, and travelled to Three Rivers without incident.  Once there they spent the evening in The Mule's Rest tavern, listening for gossip about who and where anyone had encountered gryphons to the north.
  • After a day and a half travel upriver, the Freelancers found two martial gryphon nests and acquired 18 eggs before one of the martial gryphons returned.
  • The Freelancers flew off as fast as they could, and the martial gryphon gave chase.  As they fled, the group tried to distract it and warn it off, but merely slowed it.  After they crossed some boundary known only to the gryphon, it fell back and let them go.
  • That night as they camped, Lorcan and Dominic were so wound up from their adventure, their jumpiness on watch caused the entire group to oversleep, and they returned to Three Rivers very late.
  • House Liona paid a 10% premium for the eggs, rewarded the Freelancers with a bald eagle gryphon, and covered the Freelancer fee.
  • Minji diced with Dominic to win the gryphon.
  • Returned to Freelancers Tavern Chaostag, last prime post-Harvest.
Loot
  • Mission pay:  bald eagle gryphon gelding (Minji), 1170 eagles (split between Lorcan, Ka, Dominic, Kairos)
