After Xeros' blow, the drake is what you might call "bloodied".
The drake attempts to fly away!
But the beast is cut down by the determined party for a total of 44 damage worth of AoO's.
Rest up, heal, whatever you need to do.
There appears to be a sloppily buried cache of uncut garnets and gold nuggets on the shoreline.
Following the river drake confrontation and resumption of the journey east, Passad and the envoys emerge from belowdecks. The Kalistocrat praises you for your prowess in dispatching this latest threat and makes a comment that clearly the Society sent the right agents for this task. He further wonders if the party’s wisdom matches its martial skills.
"The Pathfinder Society continues to amaze me, and it seems to me increasingly prudent to enter into a business arrangement that would certainly be to our mutual benefit—particularly for those with an eye for spotting profit. Let me make my case simply: my trade network is growing and already blankets the Inner Sea like no other, and the dwarves cannot hope to compete with the prices I offer. Let us not forget that the Pathfinders have had many mutually profitable business
dealings with me in the past.”
Metella pipes in... "Yes, Temel has his bejeweled fingers in many pies and can offer cheaper wares, but consider the advantages of a business relationship with my mercantile concern: our network is many centuries old, and the quality of our goods is unrivaled. Furthermore, an arrangement with a firm with such deep roots in the Five Kings Mountains would reinforce the military alliance the Society is already negotiating.”

Passad looks at Kraang, bemused. [b]"We are looking for trade agreements."[b]
After you talk back and forth about the benefits of trading with the two they each give you a token of good faith. Passad gives you a potion of cure moderate wounds and Metella gives you a potion of bear's endurance
Near dusk, the captain of the boat points out a pleasant country inn up a hill on the north shore of the Glass River, where a small dock offers a berth for the Abacus. Passad and the envoys indicate they’ll wait out the night in their cabins while you execute your mission at the Gray Revelation Inn. Before leaving the boat, Amauhak strongly advises the party to refrain from violence on Razmiri soil if it can be helped; Metella and Passad, in rare agreement, concur. A stone path leads from the dock about 200 yards through some light tree cover to the villa.
A sign above wide wooden gates reads, “Welcome to the Gray Revelation Inn.” The gate leans open invitingly, and the smell of fresh flowers wafts on the cool breeze.
