OOC:Ooooookay I'll just go with responding to Dagur then?
Uhtred grins "Sounds about right!" he shouts back "I'll head to Tyrosh then! Is the Prince really trying to tame the Basilisk Isles? He'll need every one of my men, ha!"

"Aye something about silver mines." he shrugged, as the trio of patrol ships began to escort them to Tyrosh. "Better off here collection gold from these milk drinkers than there bleeding out my ass."

ooc: I don't deny that you can try enforcing tariffs and shit. If you just find him with no roll, it implies you actually can get info from every damn ship in the entire archipelago, which is a ridiculous concept.

Uhtred will invite the man aboard, or go to his ship to actually have a conversation instead of a shouting match. A captain needed his voice intact after all, save shouting for when it was actually necessary.
"Why the escort Dagur? There been more fighting I'm unaware of, Stepstones still not secure? Been sailing from bloody Kings Landing, we know how to set a course, ha!"

"You're sailing a fucking merchant cog in Ironborn waters." Dagur replied, greeting him upon Leviathan's Bite with a clap on the back. "And not every reaver in these waters knows yer face or would stop to look upon it before you were a pincushion."
"Besides, something were to befall you, a tenth of our forces would scatter." he added, the irony not lost on him. "Word reaches Euric I was the last to lay eyes on you and he'd have my guys fer garters."

Uhtred laughs and gestures to the greataxe on his back "If a bastard tried to take it, I'd have his ship instead. It'd be a nasty surprise for him, but I might have spared him if he fought well enough. Give it back after I get back to my Flagship. Nothing like this termite trap. How's been the raiding, sorry, tax collecting?"

"More magnanimous than I'd be." Dagur sneered, revealing red teeth as he spat over the railing again. Some merchant had clearly been relieved of a shipment of sour leaf. "As for the reaving, been more like tax collection of late. Too many rules and too much math. Take this much from the Braavosi, that much from the Pentoshi, a bit from the Lysene, a bunch from the Myrish. With growth comes complication."

Uhtred leaned against the mast and crossed his arms "Aye, that it does. With how stretched we are now, figure we'll have to start using more sellsails just to hold the territories we have. So what rumors about land have you heard? What's Euric got in store for me? Southern stepstones were mentioned before to me, but with all this new territory things have been shuffling around."

"Aye, 'nother reason the Basilosk Isles were so appealing I'd guess. Few proper battle ships, but swarms of the corsairs and galleys we rely on to patrol." he offered Uhtred a bit of sour leaf from a pouch. "As for news, the dragonrider is making for Qohor and Essos has begun to band together against us."
"Can't say what lands he means to give you but it stands to reason seeing as your men took 'em. Only proper. Feel free to toss an island my way though." he winked, stuffing another clump of the shredded leaf into his lower lip. "Now where the fuck 'ave you been? Bring anything good back?"

Uhtred shook his head "Fucking squat. Informations pretty much all I got out of it. Course, the prince'll be interested to hear it, but still. Hah! Almost got the Heir of the north as a prisoner! But these damn sellsails couldn't stay convicted. Stupid bastards. They're good for a fight, but couldn't win a staring contest if all the gold in the world was on the line."
The ships'll sail to Tyrosh, to Uhtred's fate. (Or lack thereof)

"Yeah yeah and I had the Bitch of Lannisport sucking my cock while the Trapspringer herself sat on my face." was his skeptical reply, the Ironborn having a long and storied tradition of tall tales. "That's the trouble with sellsails. Though guarantee you they're a sight better than the ex-slaves I've got in my crew now. Not a pair of sea legs among the whole lot."
