Benjen, Crowl, and Titus arrive on the island. They see most of the trees have small cuts on them, red sap running out. The sap has the faint scent of sugar and some exotic spice laced in it.

When they arrive Benjen climbs out of the boat and looks around. "Last time I was here for my wedding... strange, how different the circumstances are. Shall we see if we can find anything?"

"Didn't come along for nothing," Titus says, rather dryly. "Shall we spread out or stick together?"

"I do not think it would be wise for us to split up, for all we know he might already be here watching us." Crowl tells the other two quietly.

"Agreed," Benjen said, setting off into the forest. "Keep your eyes open; might be a nice surprise for us here."

The Isle of Faces is composed of dozens of hills and sinkholes, swamps, and everywhere weirwoods. Trails are essentially a theory, as few ever visit, and fewer still stay; rumors have it that the dreams in the Isle of Faces can drive a man mad in short order.

Titus nodded, and set off behind the prince, his hand tightly gripping his sword. Every shadow seemed a threat, he'd thought the island strange enough on Prince Benjen's wedding day, but tonight, it seemed down right sinister.

Crowl follows along, he eyes the tree's carefully watching for anything amiss other then the strange cut marks in all of the tree's. He was used to the forests on Skagos but they where no where near as strange as this one was.

As they walk through the woods, hundreds of the trees have the tiny cuts on them. The ground seems a bit stained under it. In the distance, on a bare patch of ground through the trees, they see two men, slicing little holes in the weirwoods.

Benjen drew his sword as he spotted the men and indicated for the others to approach them slowly, hoping to sneak close enough so the men would not have a chance at running away.

Karyl Crowl nods and sneaks forward trying to do so quietly.

They close enough to where the men can be heard bitching about the cold, and carving up stupid trees while Cassadar and the sorcerers have all the fun. In armor, and on hard ground with fallen leaves everywhere, sneaking much closer will be very tough, especially as the tree cover ends.

They were close enough to rush in and the Prince raised his sword, leading a quick charge in the hope of injuring and capturing the men.

The men notice the three, and far from being afraid, just grin and draw swords. "Cassadar figured you'd show up." They scream something in Braavosi Titus faintly understands as meaning joining the blood or something.

"Take them alive!" Benjen grunted as he went in to attack.
