"Well that likely means the other kingdoms will look to their second-least-favorite people." Quentyn says upon hearing the news. "Might be best to look to our defenses."

"Aye, time to consolidate our holdings and see to our defenses." he agreed. "We must prepare for the coming Volantene fleet and any retribution from those who lost so that we could grow."
"However, we will scour these islands as we head east, capturing any fleets and pressing into service any pirate that will sail under an Ironborn flag. Those who refuse will drown."

"That's good enough for me," Ragnar said. "If the pirates have any brains, they'll follow us. They;ll not want to drown."

"Doubt you'll be needing all our forces to round up some pirates and sellsails." Quentyn replied. "And I'd wager that Dorne's in chaos, with Dayne dead. Me and mine might serve better checking on that from the Stepstones."

"See to your lands then." he agreed. "And take Goodbrother with you on any reavingBout time we put him to use."
"Don't stray too far though. We'll need our full strength when Volantis arrives in our waters."

"And you, Lord of the Stepstones." he smirked.
The fleet sailed west in a wide net, hunting pirate ships to add to their numbers.

Quentyn's forces split off, moving faster and making for the Stepstones.

Scouting: 165 (+2)
Killion's forces manage to scrounge up a dozen good warships, six galleys and six corsairs, and sink another dozen or so as they spread through the archipelago. The pirates report that most have sailed elsewhere, forming the fleets destroyed at Dorne, and others assembling for Volantis or Qarth, or even the Jade Empire. Some islands could probably be taken, though holding the isolated outposts could be tough.

Pleased with his acquisitions and unwilling to commit the forces that would be needed to take and protect these islands with the Volantene fleet amassing, Killion ordered the fleet to sail for Tyrosh.

They miss a storm by a few hours, and the prince can look south and watch the typhoon rage. As they sail, falling upon the few merchant ships that even bother making the journey west now, they receive word of the invasion of Qarth by Yi Ti and its endless hordes. The fleet of Old Volantis still hasn't apparently set sail, and virtually all of the remaining Free Cities have banded together into some sort of federation.
