Korben is silent as he takes in all the information, looking back up to the castle as its walls are worked upon to be breached. "Is there no way to give these poor bastards final peace..." He says as he looks to the undead, who still moved even as they were dismembered. Such a fate was one Korben hoped to never experience.

"Stab me enough they stop," he said. "Their souls have left and what remains is a shell. A husk, really." He nodded. The gates start cracking. "We need all the kingdoms to fight," he said. "Even those odd Northmen."

She had every wound from before. Nick patiently listens. "Well that sounds delightfully insane. Dragonglass kills Others?" He looks about. "Good to know, but what hurt you? And why are you wet? Sounds like a hell of an adventure..." As he talks, Harlw appears suddenly, covered in blood and more. "Holy fucking hell we need to sink this ship!" "Oh... I went back to beyond the wall and jumped into the sea, the dead were trying to eat me... And I thought jumping in would wake me up. One of them knocked into me, and I burnt my leg on The hole I just came through. She said, looking up at it. I made that hole." She looked round as Steffon reappeared and her eyes widened, what happened?"

"This fucking ship is a fucking death trap!" He said. Dacey reappears while they talk, shirt torn and hair disheveled. "The fucking Others took it from some northern shitheel and we got left to die at fucking sea. What the fuck," he said, shaking his head. "And when the others left the crew went nuts. Sorry for your ancestors," he said, picking a piece of gore off him. "But to be honest, they're sort of dicks."
Dacey nods. "I have to agree, except whatever the fuck joust happened was..." She shakes her head. "I was in the Rills, I think. They built this ship because of some vision and decided that they found my look exotic," she narrows her eyes. "This ship was supposed to be the strongest warship they ever built and they tried attacking the North. They sacked Pyke with Gerold the Great and then tried taking Barrowton, but it seems like the dead changed everyone's plans. How hasn't anyone heard of this?" She said, utterly confused. "There should be records upon records."

"Where do you think we get it from? We are kinda dicks still." Robyn replied even though leaving people for dead seems like something the ironborn did.
She did feel bad for Dacey, though, "I Am sorry, back then we were practically wildlings still, it's only recently we've really been getting more like the southerners, the last thousand years or so."
She sighed and thought. "Could be that no one returned who went up there, can't be records or something they never knew happened. I met someone who knew I would be coming, that we'd all go back, she said the northers were going to try sailing west... Maybe everyone went with them? They could still be living over there, their decendants anyway."

Steffon laughed at that. Dacey frowned but nodded. "It is hardly your fault, Robyn. If they didn't vanish at sea who knows what could have happened," she said. "But either way this ship is back for a reason." Nick nodded.
"I found some books but haven't had time to read them, they were sealed in a box and mostly ruined but some pages may have survived. I was about to try the captain's quarters; this damn ship is huge."

"They're my ancestors, my houses behaviour is my houses responsibility , regardless of when it happened," robyn said with a shrug
"Maybe one day we can try and find them,but we have bigger issues right now. There is apparently a lot of dragonglass around here, or there was, I was told it kills others, before this ship got frozen, I was told nearly the whole armies supply of dragonglass was on here, if we split up, half of us look for the glass the other the captains quarters we should be able to quickly search most of the ship, we can always send one person back for help from the others on the ship. Or signal we need more time."
She paused "if the ship is here for a reason, should we be sinking it?"

"Even those odd Northmen." Korben shakes his head at all this. He turns back to the castle, walking towards it with a grim set expression, "Lets get this over with..." he says, seeing no choice but to commit this atrocity.

Nick nodded. "Sounds good to me, unless this is some super elaborate trap," he thought. "But let's do it. You and Dacey take the captains chamber. Harlaw and I have the cargo hold."
Korben enters the castle. It is brutal and unforgiving, nothing like he had thought slaughtering iron men would be like. As he enters the rapine, he sees a girl in the corner, bleeding, wearing a tattered silver cloak with a wolf on it.

"It would have have to be very elaborate... which means it is probably going to happen" Robyn commented and lead Dacey out, to start at the top and the back, where the captains cabin traditionally was.

Dacey smiled wanly. "Quite a shock, seeing how your ancestors are isn't it?" She said, "my family didn't even exist yet, probably descended from some of the worst of those murderers."

"Well, I didn't meet that many of mine..." Robyn admitted, "I briefly saw King Brandon, who pretty much disegarded me, one of his sons, Cregan, who I think may have wanted to lay with me, and then Hanna... who knew and believed I was from the future. You're tale of them is far more distressing to me. I can't believe they'd try and..." she trailed off looking at her ripped shirt, "Are you okay?"

She glances down. "I'm a big girl with a big knife," they come to the door. "But they almost got me," she admitted. "Open it; I'll go first," she said, crossbow at low ready.

"I'm sorry... again" Robyn stood to the side of the door, one hand on her sword, and used her free hand to open the door to the room.

Dacey kicks it, but in a super badass way. She rushes in. "Clear," she said. She looks about as she lowers the crossbow. There's a giant bite mark in the side of the cabin. "Old gods alive," she breathed. The room is mostly empty save a locked onyx chest, used because it doesn't rust in salt water.
