Delicately Please (Mission Notes)

Executor: Aerivandor Rhydane

A special request came from Dara Starsong, a renowned bard from Rhyx, She needed our younger members to corral her animal companions back home as they had not returned from their grazing grounds. One of them was a palomino mare named Zenyatta and a golden-plumaged peregrine named Queensguard.

The adventurers being young and rather new to the transient lifestyle were not familiar with her work but I was pleased to discover that they handled it with aplomb. Having successfully tracked their first query, they realized the reason why she had not returned: she had foaled. With a tense confrontation with the rest of the herd, they managed to wrangle them into coming back home. Zeyatta, in the middle of the process of Awakening, led them to the hunting grounds of Queensgaurd. There they had to defeat a pair of cockatrices which sought to kill the bird of prey and eat her nest. They were quick enough to succeed.

However, on they way back to the home of the bard, they were ambushed twice: once by a pack of wolves and another by a cockatrice. Thankfully, the herd of horses were to their advantage and helped them fend of their enemies long enough for the party to deal the finishing blow.

Running to avoid further problems, they managed to return and Dara Starsong completed her deal: she gave each of the adventurers a glass charm of their choice, made by her own hands.
