The party is hired by Roson Voc of the Voc trading company to look for and salvage the company's lost ship, the Vals Wrath. The party after discussions with Voc on pay (1000 Silver plus hazard pay) departs Rougtero for a few day journey via swift boat to the closest waystation along the route the ship was sailing.

An Aerodrako passes the boat at a slow fly during the second day of travel and the party reacts with alertness to defend. The Aerodrako makes no offensive moves though and continues flying in the opposite direction of the party.

That evening the party reaches the waystation to find it afalme and destroyed with no survivors. Using a spell to see the past the party discovers the Aerodrako flying in the opposite direction was what destroyed the waystation. After some discussion they dismiss following the Aerodrako as it is well out of easy range to track.
