In 989 IaC, the Right Hand officiated over a sledding contest during the Owlspring Festival in Bucktuck City. He awarded the winner of the contest, Lambchop, a silver helmet made by Ogris Finehand.
Later in the year, the Right hand placed a contract with Cloverhall to capture a thief that was causing trouble in the city, as his men had little luck with it. The contract was taken up by the Cursebusters, and Homdal would later meet with them when they came into Bucktuck as heroes for destroying a raiding pack of gnolls. The Right Hand offered the group a large amount for taking care of the gnolls, compounded by their successful capture of the thief, though he gave the group grave warnings not to cause trouble in town. He was present at a tense meeting between the group and Anise Taranil, though he remained silent.
