Mappo Runt and Icarium stand at the edge of the Pan'potsun Odhan. They have recently travelled through Ehrlitan, and Icarium is unconvincingly disguised as a Tanno Spiritwalker. They are observing an Aptorian demon under the control of Sha'ik, and mention that it is there because of a convergence, which they say is several months away. They decide to track the demon, and Mappo packs away their entire camp into his small bag before they move onto the Odhan.
