13 Alturiak, 1502 D.R.

Myself, Solia, Chappo, Shev, and Kervae were contracted out by an acquaintance of Thrax's, the mayor of Longsaddle -- a small, distant village under the control of a wizard family called the Harpells. They had been plagued of late by griffin attacks -- just two of the creatures at first, but more than that after a few months.

(The math on this phenomenon is not complicated.)

Our orders were to slay or drive off the griffins, and after what seemed like days or tendays of travel, we had the surprise opportunity to begin shortly after we arrived: several young (I did say the math was simple) griffins attacked a trio of horses a short distance from our rendezvous point. I thought that the best approach would be to frighten them off, but the others drew weapons and brought forth spellfire. Either way, the young griffins retreated, with Solia in hot pursuit to track them to their nest.

The griffins, it must be noted, were hardly the threat. The horses, on the other hand... I was kicked in the head. Twice. My dishonor knows no bounds, and I fear for whatsoever intelligence I may ever have dared to claim.

Well. Guided by Solia, we followed a trail of blood through mountains and plains. A pack of starving coyotes would likely have troubled us, but Chappo had a word with them (I swear to you this really happened, it is not a lingering figment of my repeated kicks to the head) and instead they elected to guide us to the eyrie we sought.

Soon enough, we climbed a cliff (at the bottom of which lay many gnomish corpses all strewn about; we have asked no questions). At the top were two fully-grown griffins and two more young. Immediately, one of them seized me and took to the air, and I would surely have met the same fate as the gnomes down below, but for Kervae's swift intervention.

We slew the elder griffins and drove off the young. The job is complete, and our contract intact.

My dignity, like my skull, is another matter entirely.

When we went: 13 Alturiak, 1502 DR (Febuary 9th 2026)
Where we went: nice little place called longsaddle and then another mountain! I'm noticing a theme...
Why'd we go?:The mayor I think asked us to stop some griffons from causing problems

What happened?:

we went to the nice little town of longsaddle! Was a long trip but we somehow got back on time? Time is weird. Anyhow we arrived and a new friend told us a buncha griffons were causing some trouble. So he wanted us to help out, which was lucky timing because a buncha young ones were causing some nice horses a great deal of trouble. We couldn't save one but the other two were okay! I healed em up and the nice foks takin care of em even gave me some things to drink. A coupla the babies got away but they pointed us in the direction of the nest.

Going up the mountain we met some unfortunate coyotes, seems the griffons bein there displaced some local ecosystems. Always a shame when that happens, do wonder how these griffons ended up here in the first place. I imagine something has displaced the griffon's natural habitat and that pushed em our way. Hu... oh yeah I fed those new coyote friends and they led us to the griffon nest! Such nice fellers.

We found the nest and there were a buncha poor unfortunate dead gnome folks, bashed about and cut up by the griffons. Just goes to show what happens when nature gets disrupted without proper cause. Anyway the griffons were dealt with and we made it home safe. Little sad about all the death but at least some life was saved.

Contractor: The Mayor of Longsaddle
Objective: Deal with a Gryphon infestation
Personal Account: While in Longsaddle, as we were discussing the details of the infestation, we were made known that the gryphons were in the midst of an attack on the village so we pursued. We encountered a grouping of young gryphons in the midst of their attempt to make off with horses that belonged to the people of the village. We began our attack until they retreated. Their retreat gave us the opportunity to uncover the location of the nests.
Solution: Once we reached the nests, we killed a large portion of the gryphon population causing them to scatter from their roost near Longsaddle.

• Who
  Kervae, Yashir, Solia, Chappo, Shev

• What
  We were contracted to journey out to Longsaddle to take care of a influx of Griffon attacks terrorizing some of the local traders and horses. In fact while receiving our briefing the horses outside the establishment came under attack by juvenile griffons. we quickly dispatched them. with one getting away. this fortunately was perfect for us. giving us a lead to follow and track the nest.

  this lead us to base of a cliff. which. . .for some reason. was littered with the corpses of gnomes. but. Tymora was with us that day. fore the gnomes had all left behind gloves that granted us the ability to scale the cliffs with ease. but we were greeted not with more juvenile but full grown griffons. wonderful creatures. but. . .rather viscous. had I not been gifted with a tattoo that carried a charge of feather fall. a few of us would have meet our fate that day.

Party:

Kervae, Chappo, Shev, Yashir, Solia

We were summoned to Longsaddle to assist with a gryphon problem.

Juvenile gryphons attacked a settlement and were attacking the horses. They had also been responsible for killing local livestock.

We followed them to their nests on the cliffs and encountered the bodies of climbers that had previously tried to deal with them and were thrown from the peaks. We ascended, located the nests and dispatched them. Kervae claimed an egg as her own though I’m unsure what ended up happening to it.
