I am pleased to start the new year with a new home campaign, playing Pathfinder 1E in the Freeport setting!

Freeport 2025 Campaign Notes
The Party
Al—Chug—Male island troll war priest
Aric—Tasso—Male human sorcerer (djinn bloodline)
Brent—Falco—Male halfling freebooter
Geof—Gahd—Male halfling gunslinger (musket master)
14 January 2025—“The Ironjack Legacy”
The PCs met with Martin Hawkes and he made his offer, hiring them to explore the key and clues from Jenkin Hammer, the Ironjack; Tasso talked him up to paying for half the value of treasure found along with room and board. They settled into their lodgings and had a meal (Falco had two) before heading to the Freeport Institute to investigate the first clue.
In Hammer's old workshop, Gahd found the keyhole beneath the anvil and Tasso used the key in it, opening the trap door and finding the tunnel leading downward. Chug led the way down the ladder. In the first chamber, Tasso again tried the key, activating the mechanism. They split the party to explore further, with Tasso and Chug staying by the mechanism and Falco and Gahd venturing further. After opening and closing some of the doors, they ran into the first clockwork servant!
The servant caught Gahd in its net and started to drag him away, but Falco cut the rope. Gahd's musket misfired, leaving him frustrated. Chug joined the fray, charging in to attack. Falco tumbled through the melee, too, helping to flank the enemy, and they managed to defeat the constructs.
At the end of the maze they found the chamber holding Hammer's first Might Man. Once again it was Tasso who used the key in it, activating a potent magical effect that made his hair stand on end. He identified some kind of abjuration magic. In the aftermath they had time to treat their injuries and gather up valuables they could.
Loot: An alchemist's lab (175 gp), masterwork artisan's tools (50 gp), 3 sunrods, 2 candlerods, jar of armor ointment. The remains of the intact clockwork servant—one was crushed by a descending stone block—could be worth 1000 gp or more, and Hawkes is negotiating with potential buyers.
