Uhtred walks up on the gangplank, greeting his captain and his men that had sailed up the blackwater. He orders them to prepare to sail at first light, and get ready some room for passengers.

Jory walked up to the small ship. "The Iron Titans. Not a bad bunch of pirates." He looked up and down the vessel. "Heard of your people before, back when you worked for The Sealord. Hope you're as good seamen as the rumors say."

Uhtred looked down on the man on the dock. "You've heard of us? Really? What did you hear?" he asks

Raven stood looking at the ship, from one end to another. She had never sailed, excitement tingled all over her body as she studied the masts and the tied up sails. She spotted Farwynd and waved at him with a smile.

Uhtred offers his hand in helping her onto the ship "Excited lass? Have you ever been on the open water?"

Taking his hand, she grinned,"No, I have not, but I am looking forward to it." Raven looked out from the ship,"After today, I will no longer be here. I will be on my own journey."
She looked at him and smiled brightly.

She was radiant in that moment, the dawns glow making her dark hair gleam. He was taken back for a moment, then shook his head and grinned ruefully "You're coming with then? The boss roped you in?"

She nodded, excited,"Yes, apparently I made it by the skin of my teeth." Raven touched his shoulder,"So yes, my large friend I get to fight beside you and your large axe until this trip has ended."
"I am pleased to be here."

He turned and looked out from the ship to the ruin that now stretched across the shore "Well we'll see how long that lasts. If you're used to solid ground, then this might be a bit disconcerting for you. And I don't think the boss wants much fighting. Else he would've taken more men."

Standing beside him, she nodded,"Either way, I am glad to be here and you may be surprised about how my sealegs carry me."
Raven was waiting for the ship to disembark and the ruins to begin to get smaller and smaller from view,"He may not want much fighting but he needs to know where he is. In some parts of this land fighting to defend yourself can not be helped."

"Undoubtedly." He pats his axe "but whoever comes after us will find a bit more trouble than they think. I plan on us transferring to my ship when we land at Kings Landing." He smiles fondly then, seeing in his minds eye the great galleon on the waves. "We'll have enough men to fend off any raiders."

"I can't wait to leave here", she smiled at him. "Raiders? I thought we were just going to Kings Landing and picking up supplies before we went on to Dorne?"
She then shrugged,"Oh well, it wouldn't be an adventure if it was without any trouble."

"There are always raiders off of the storm and sand lands. Once you get near the Reach, then the seas become slightly safer. Once you go north of the flower lands though..." He sighed and looked down "then the iron ships will find you. There is no escaping them."

She then looked at him,"But I thought you were..... Ironborn, well at least half. They would harm you?"
