Down by the city's docks the Admiral's Office has posted an advertisement for irregulars to take on a dangerous information gathering mission. Applicants should be willing to perform undercover work, to spend considerable time at sea, to face hardship, deprivation and the risk of death, and critically must not be known to Serradic forces.

• Irene - Agata
• Hallsteinn - Fed
• Nobody- Dave
• Hugh - Tom
• Jonathan - JamesW

Once the vessel makes its way back to Acryn the party are given some time to recuperate in a naval hospital, recovering from the serpent venom and whatever disease .

The party are paid 130R for recovering both Darmer, the Master of the Consortium, Commodore Titus and the Serradic prisoners.

Hugh goes to the Guild, explaining his problem and the Wayfinders are very interested to study his condition. After a week of their ministrations the sickness clears and his perceptions of the consensus return.

Hallsteinn visits the Branch household and rails at Nobody as Blake for the 'curse' that was laid upon him and the pair part acrimoniously. Later Howard tracks down the Valyydi mercenary to inquire how his sons did on their first venture out together.
