Airship 8 - Robot and Maranite Brew

You fly through a valley, fly around a bend and catch a glimmer of light bounce off a piece of metal. As you look more closely you see a small motionless robot up high on the ridge to your left. To your right you see a small hut with two maranites standing by a fire outside, placing items in a boiling cauldron. Do you fly up and try to investigate the robot or do you go and see what the maranites are concocting?
